More than another home search
A home catches your eye.
Then come the real questions.
You look at the estimated payment and wonder whether the move makes sense. Focusing only on the asking price or interest rate can leave important costs and options unexplored.
Could the terms be negotiated? Are there suitable homes outside the public listings you have been watching? How would buying fit with your timing or a home you need to sell?
A Free Home Buying Strategy Session helps you explore those questions before making an offer, with lender guidance on the financing options that may fit your situation.

What your strategy session covers
Less guessing.
More direction.
Focus your search, explore potential negotiating options and decide what to prepare next. The initial strategy session is free.
Plan your negotiating approach.
Consider whether a particular property may offer room to discuss price, seller credits, repairs or other terms. The approach depends on the property and seller.
Understand your next steps.
Identify what to prepare before showings or an offer, the costs to discuss with a lender and how buying may fit with selling your current home.

A useful conversation starts here
Bring your questions.
Not a perfect plan.
You do not need to have every detail figured out to ask for guidance. Start with where you are now and what you would like to understand.
Our team can discuss your search and the buying process. Mortgage approval, legal advice and property availability are separate matters.

Free initial lender consultationWorried about the payment?
Worried about the payment?
Explore your options.
A lender can help you compare possible ways to lower the monthly payment and understand the costs and tradeoffs before you choose a loan.
- Could seller credits help with closing costs or an eligible rate buydown?
- Would a different loan option or down payment change your monthly payment?
- What upfront costs, future payments and total loan costs would each option involve?
The initial lender consultation is free. Loan products, discount points, rate buydowns and closing costs are not necessarily free. Eligibility and terms vary by lender and loan. Some payment reductions are temporary. A lower payment, rate, approval, seller credit or specific saving is not guaranteed.
The bigger picture

Your questions, answered
Before you take
the next step.
Browsing, requesting a conversation and arranging a purchase are different steps. Here is what to know.
Can I just browse the homes?
Yes. Open the Montclair search at the top of this page. No strategy session is required to browse homes or listing details. Saving homes, setting alerts or sending a property inquiry may require a RealScout account.
What do I get from the free strategy session?
Discuss your priorities, public listings and available GT off market opportunities, potential negotiating options and what to prepare next. A lender handles financing options and mortgage approval; an attorney handles legal advice.
What if I am only exploring?
You can keep browsing, even if your timing is not settled. If you request a conversation, tell us where you are in the process and what would be useful to understand. You do not have to claim you are ready to buy just to use this search.
Do I need mortgage preapproval to use this page?
No mortgage preapproval is needed to open the home search. If you plan to finance a purchase, a lender can explain your borrowing options, estimated payments and approval requirements. Ask the team what is needed before arranging a particular showing or preparing an offer.
What should I bring to a conversation?
A few homes you like, your must haves, the price range you are exploring, your ideal timing and your biggest questions. Do not send bank statements, identification or sensitive financial records through the general contact form.
Can we discuss selling my current home too?
Yes. Mention that you may need to sell before buying. We can discuss both parts of the move and the questions to work through about timing. A purchase, sale, financing approval or coordinated closing date is not guaranteed.
Does this request reserve a time?
Choose an available time in the booking window here on this page and complete the confirmation steps. Your time is reserved only after a booking confirmation appears. If scheduling is temporarily unavailable, try again shortly; no appointment is booked without confirmation.
Who will I speak with, and how does the meeting happen?
The buyer strategy session is with Nick Trani. The booking window shows the meeting length, format and available times. Lender participation is arranged separately.
Are the strategy session and lender consultation free?
The initial Home Buying Strategy Session and initial lender consultation are free. That does not mean a mortgage, rate buydown, appraisal, closing or later brokerage services are free. Review any loan costs, representation terms and agreements before proceeding.
Are all homes still available at the listed price?
Prices, listing status and availability can change. The search reflects GT’s RealScout feed and may not include every home on the market. Ask the team to check a specific property’s current status before planning around it.
