Areas we serve


Our office is in Valley Stream, New York. We work with homeowners in seven states.

Foreclosure works differently in each one: different courts, different notices, different clocks. So each state has its own page. Outside New York, we work by phone, email and mail.

Research and referrals in five states


In these five states we offer the Homeowner Research Document and coordinate referrals to attorneys licensed there.

New York

Research and referrals

New York foreclosure is a court case in the Supreme Court of the county where the property sits, with a docket and a judge. It is the state we have worked in longest, from our office in Nassau County.

Read the New York page.

Memphis, Tennessee

Research and referrals

Most Tennessee foreclosures happen outside court, run by a trustee named in the loan papers. No judge sees the file unless someone brings a case, so the notice dates, and the envelopes, are what matter.

Read the Memphis, Tennessee page.

Chicago, Illinois

Research and referrals

Illinois foreclosure is a court case, run in Chicago through the Circuit Court of Cook County. It has waiting periods many homeowners never hear about, and the court must confirm a sale before it is final.

Read the Chicago, Illinois page.

Atlanta, Georgia

Research and referrals

Most Georgia foreclosures happen outside court, with no complaint and no summons. Sales are held at the county courthouse on the first Tuesday of the month, so the calendar is the whole story.

Read the Atlanta, Georgia page.

Florida

Research and referrals

Florida foreclosure is a court case in the Circuit Court of the county where the property sits, and the first deadline to respond is shorter than most expect. Most counties now sell online, in auctions run by the clerk of court.

Read the Florida page.

The Homeowner Research Document is research and data built around your property. Every filing on it, how those filings connect, the numbers behind them, and alerts when anything new is recorded.

If you are facing foreclosure, it includes a full report on your foreclosure file, organized so your attorney can work from it at your first meeting.

Free help is also available.

You do not have to pay anyone for help with a foreclosure. HUD-approved housing counseling agencies give free counseling nationwide. Call 1-800-569-4287 or visit hud.gov. Many states and counties also run free foreclosure prevention programs. We want you to know about them, whether or not you ever hire us.

If you have a sale date or a court date coming up, call a licensed attorney today.

We are not a law firm.

Prime Real Estate Consultants is a property research and consulting business. We do not practice law or represent anyone, and nothing on this site is legal, tax or financial advice. Contacting us or buying a service does not create an attorney-client relationship.
