Pulling tax records, deed history, and comparable sales for your address.
We received your request for your property. A Key Buyers specialist will call you within 24 hours, usually the same day.
Most sellers we work with are 60–120 days from a scheduled sale when they reach out. Acting early gives you more options and a better outcome.
New York is a judicial foreclosure state, which means your lender must file a lawsuit and get a court judgment before a foreclosure auction can happen. That process typically takes far longer than borrowers expect, often a year or more from the first missed payment to an actual auction date. During that window, you retain full ownership and the right to sell.
Common Queens foreclosure situations we handle:
A traditional sale through a real estate agent can take 60–90 days to close, time many homeowners in foreclosure don't have, and it depends on a buyer qualifying for financing. A cash sale removes that uncertainty: no financing contingency, no appraisal risk, no deal falling through in week 8 of a 90-day foreclosure clock.
Selling before the auction also protects your credit more than letting the foreclosure complete, and in many cases lets you walk away with proceeds instead of losing all equity to the bank.
A local specialist reviews your specific timeline, including how many days remain before any scheduled auction, and gives you an honest read on whether a sale can close in time. If we can't help, we'll tell you directly rather than stringing you along.
