When it comes to closings, we encourage you to ask your lender and legal team about electronic recordings. The Catskill Country Living Team can always arrange a secure online meeting where all parties can be available from the comfort and security of their own homes or offices. So yes, we can help make closings still happen, even if no one can be together in the same room. [/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

Did mortgage rates go down due to the Federal Funds Rate being dropped?
