Empire Properties
NYC homeowners, heirs & executors

Behind on your mortgage? Let's talk through your next step.

If you're behind on payments or owe more than your home is worth, a short sale may let you sell, settle with your lender and move forward. We also help families sell estate and inherited homes. There are no fees to you.

How it works

Three steps, at your pace. You decide whether to go ahead.

1

Tell us about the property

A short, private call. We listen first and ask a few questions about your situation.

2

We work with your lender

If a short sale fits, we handle the back-and-forth with your lender to accept less than what's owed.

3

Sell and move forward

Close on a timeline you can plan around, with money available to help you relocate.

Every situation is different. These are the ones we see most across Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island and Manhattan.

    Missed a few months and getting letters from the bank.
  • Owe more than it's worth

Estates & inherited homes

Selling a loved one's home, without the extra weight.

We work with executors, administrators and heirs across NYC. We coordinate with the estate's attorney, buy the property as it is, and can help when there's a mortgage, back taxes or liens on the home.

  • No cleanout needed
    Leave the furniture and belongings. We handle what's left.
  • Works for several heirs
    One clear process when the house is shared among family members.
  • Mortgage or liens on the estate
    Including short sales when the estate owes more than the home is worth.

Common questions

What is a short sale?

A sale where your lender agrees to accept less than what you owe on the mortgage, so you can sell even if the home is worth less than the loan.

Do I have to pay anything?

No. There are no fees to you for a short sale with us.

Can you stop my foreclosure?

No one can promise that. A sale before the auction is often possible, and one of our specialists will look at your situation and walk you through what's possible.

Can you buy a house that is still in probate?

In many cases, yes. We work with the executor and the estate's attorney, who handles the court side.

Does the house need to be fixed up?

No. We buy properties as they are.

The sooner we talk, the more room you have.

A short call costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
