Foreclosure help in New York City, NY
Foreclosure notices are landing in New York City mailboxes every week — and most of the families receiving them still have real options.
What New York City homeowners should know
New York requires a 90-day pre-foreclosure notice and a mandatory court settlement conference — structural protections that give homeowners real negotiating leverage.
New York City property values mean many struggling homeowners are sitting on meaningful equity without realizing it. That equity is exactly what a foreclosure auction burns — and exactly what an early, well-run plan protects.
Our specialists work New York cases daily: we know how New York's notices read, which deadlines are real, and how local servicers respond to complete loss-mitigation files.

New York City foreclosure questions
How fast do I need to act on a foreclosure in New York City?
New York City homeowners follow New York's judicial (through the courts) process, which typically runs often 12 months or longer from serious delinquency to sale. The practical rule: every option — modification, reinstatement, forbearance, or a well-priced sale — works better with more runway, so the best day to start is the day you realize the payment is a problem.
Can I sell my New York City house before the foreclosure sale?
Yes. You own your home until the foreclosure sale is final, and selling before that date typically preserves equity an auction would destroy. In the New York City market, we can put a listing strategy and a fair, no-obligation cash proposal side by side so you can compare both against the auction outcome.
Does the free consultation cover New York City specifically?
Yes — specialists review your exact loan, your New York timeline, and your goals. There are no upfront fees, and you can verify everything with a free HUD-approved counselor at 800-569-4287.
