About Home Helpers of New York
When a city marshal gives you ten minutes to grab what matters, you learn what foreclosure really costs.
I’m Matthew Klein, and I started Home Helpers of New York so no family faces that moment without real options, clear answers, and someone in their corner.
Why we exist
As a teenager in Queens in 2000, I experienced foreclosure firsthand. A city marshal gave our family ten minutes to take what we could before the door was stickered and re-entry meant arrest. Walking out with two duffel bags and not much else leaves a mark.
That day created a mission: make sure no homeowner ever faces foreclosure blindsided, pressured, or alone.
“Foreclosure isn’t just paperwork—it’s your home, your identity, your future. I started Home Helpers of New York so families get clear options, real help, and enough time to make the right decision.”
— Matthew Klein, Founder
What we do
Home Helpers of New York, LLC helps homeowners in foreclosure or serious mortgage distress across Long Island, the five boroughs, and Westchester. We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners navigate their toughest moments.
Short Sales That Actually Close
We handle the paperwork avalanche, coordinate with buyers and agents, and negotiate with your servicer until you get an approval letter. Most close in 90-120 days without deficiency judgments.
Auction Postponements & Strategy
We assess whether a delay is realistic based on your servicer, timeline, and situation—then we execute. We’ll tell you what’s possible and what it takes.
Loan Modifications & Workouts
We organize your financials, submit complete packages the first time, and follow up until you get a decision. No more wondering if your servicer received your documents.
Reverse Mortgage & Inherited Property Issues
We untangle the rules, explain your options, and help you make decisions before the servicer does it for you.
Scam Protection & Consumer Education
Straight talk on red flags, worthless “rescue” schemes, and predatory investors—so you can avoid bad actors and bad advice.
