The Story of Burton Property Advisors
Burton Property Advisors was founded to help NYC multifamily property owners navigate compliance challenges, optimize asset performance, and execute strategic transactions with confidence.
Recognizing the complexities of New York City’s evolving real estate landscape, founder Eli Zempsky established the firm with a mission to provide clear, results-driven solutions that protect investments, unlock value, and maximize returns.
The firm is named in honor of Eli’s late grandfather, Burton Zempsky, whose values of integrity, resilience, and strategic thinking serve as the foundation of our approach. The name Burton also carries deeper meaning—derived from the Old English word for "fortified structure," it reflects our commitment to strengthening and protecting our clients’ real estate investments.
