Foreclosure Surplus Recovery

The county is holding money with your name on it.

When a foreclosed property sells for more than the debt against it, the difference belongs to the former owner — not the bank, not the county. We read the records, find the claim, and file it. You pay nothing unless it's recovered.

How it works

What we actually do

Three things, in this order. Nothing starts until the claim is confirmed in the public record.

STEP 01

Search the record

We pull county and court records directly — final judgments, sale reports, and surplus registers — to confirm a real balance exists and who it belongs to.

STEP 02

Prepare the instrument

Claim forms, limited power of attorney, assignment of interest, payment direction. Drafted, notarized, and filed to the county's exact standard.

STEP 03

Track to disbursement

We stay on the docket through review, competing claims, and the order of distribution — until the check is issued in your name.

Common questions

Questions we get first

The three most common, answered plainly.

Is this legitimate? How do I know you're not scamming me?

Fair question — ask it. We never take payment upfront, never ask for bank logins, and never claim to be the government. You can confirm a surplus exists by calling your county's Clerk of Court directly. Here's exactly how to verify us, step by step.

Do I need to pay anything upfront?

No. We work strictly on contingency — you pay nothing upfront and nothing at all if we recover nothing. Our fee comes out of what's actually recovered and is agreed in writing before any work starts.

What exactly are surplus funds?

Also called excess proceeds — the money left over from a foreclosure sale after the mortgage balance, liens, and costs are paid. If the property sold for more than was owed, that remainder belongs to you and can be claimed.

Testimonials reflect real client experiences. Individual results vary.

Check the record before you decide anything.

Call the Clerk of Court in the county where the property sold and ask whether surplus funds are held on the case. It's free, and it's true whether or not you work with us.
