Before you contact them

  • Check the firm and the individual originator in the NMLS Consumer Access registry, and check New York's own registries. We do not do this for you and a directory listing is not evidence of licensing.
  • Ask for terms in writing, dated. Anything quoted verbally is not a term.
  • Have a New York real estate attorney read the documents before you sign. In New York this is normal practice, not paranoia.
