STOP FORECLOSURE IN AMHERST — FAQ
Can I sell my Amherst house while it’s in active foreclosure?
Yes. New York law allows you to sell at any stage of foreclosure — right up until the Erie County Sheriff Sale is finalized at 92 Franklin Street, Buffalo. NCB has a signed purchase agreement in place quickly, then coordinates the mortgage payoff with your lender to clear title. We’ve closed Amherst foreclosure properties in as few as 12 days from first contact. Call (716) 557-7005 immediately if an auction date has been set.
How long does foreclosure take in Amherst / Erie County NY?
New York is a judicial foreclosure state — every foreclosure goes through court. In Erie County, the process typically takes 18–30 months from first missed payment to Sheriff Sale, though complex cases can extend to 36+ months. The lis pendens filing at the Erie County Clerk’s office is the formal legal start. You have time — but the clock is running. See our full NY foreclosure timeline.
What if my Amherst mortgage is underwater — I owe more than the house is worth?
A short sale may be the right path. NCB can purchase as a short sale — negotiating directly with your lender to accept less than the full mortgage balance. This is more complex than a standard sale but avoids foreclosure on your record and eliminates the deficiency judgment risk. Call (716) 557-7005 for a frank assessment of whether a short sale or standard cash sale makes more sense for your Amherst property.
What is the Erie County Sheriff Sale and what happens to my Amherst home?
The Sheriff Sale is the final stage of NY judicial foreclosure — a public auction at the Erie County Hall, 92 Franklin Street, Buffalo NY 14202. Once a judgment of foreclosure and sale is entered by the court, the property is scheduled for auction. The winning bidder takes title. You lose all remaining equity. NCB can often buy and close before the sale date — preserving whatever equity you have. See our Erie County Sheriff Sale guide.
Does NCB buy Amherst homes with delinquent HOA fees in addition to mortgage arrears?
Yes. HOA arrears are paid from NCB’s purchase proceeds at closing — just like back property taxes and mortgage payoffs. Many Amherst properties have HOA obligations attached (particularly in planned communities near Williamsville and transit corridors). NCB handles all of it at closing with no out-of-pocket cost to the seller.
How quickly can NCB close on a foreclosure property in Amherst?
For Amherst properties with a clear timeline and urgent situation, NCB can close in 7–14 days from signed purchase agreement. Lender payoff coordination may extend this slightly on short sale transactions. In true emergency situations — days before a scheduled Sheriff Sale — call (716) 557-7005 directly and we will tell you within the hour what’s possible.
