About Empire

Two decades of getting deals to the table.

Empire Residential Solutions Inc. arranges residential mortgage financing from our office in Bohemia, New York, led by people who have worked in mortgage lending since 2001.

Who we are

A mortgage broker, working for the borrower's side of the table.

We are a licensed mortgage broker. That distinction matters more than it sounds. A lender has one set of products and one appetite for risk; when your scenario falls outside it, the answer is no and the conversation ends. We are not a lender. We arrange financing with third-party lenders, which means when one door closes we still have somewhere to go.

Our people have been doing this since 2001 — through the housing boom, the crash, the long recovery, and the rate environment that followed. Each of those markets rewarded something different, and working through all of them leaves you with a fairly practical view of which deals actually close.

We focus on residential financing, including the files that do not fit a standard box: self-employed and investor borrowers, non-traditional income, and higher-value single-family properties. Those are the scenarios where having one lender is not enough.

For commercial real estate, bridge, SBA and construction lending, our affiliate Empire Commercial Solutions handles those transactions — so a client whose next move is a commercial property does not have to start over with a stranger.

How we work

Three things we hold to.

A fast no beats a slow maybe

If a scenario will not work, we say so early. Keeping a file open to look busy costs the borrower their timeline and the agent their month.

Problems travel upward, early

You hear about a complication from us, when it appears — not from your client, a week before closing.

Referrals stay referrals

When an agent or advisor introduces someone, that relationship remains theirs. We are there for the financing, not to inherit the client.

A small team, which is the point.

You are not going to be handed between four departments. The person who assesses your scenario is the person who sees it through.
