FAQ

Common Questions About Surplus Recovery

1. How does surplus fund recovery work?

Answer: When a home sells at a foreclosure auction for more than what was owed on the mortgage, liens, and fees, the extra money is called "surplus funds." These funds belong to the former homeowner, but many people never realize they exist. We research state records to find these funds, verify your claim, and handle the entire filing process to get that money back to you.

2. How do I find out if surplus funds exist from my foreclosure?

Answer: Start with our free eligibility assessment. Provide us with the property address, your name as it appeared on the deed, and the approximate date of foreclosure. We will search state records to determine whether surplus funds were generated from the sale and how much may be available to you.

3. How much can I expect to recover?

Answer: Every case is different. The surplus amount depends on factors like the property sale price, the total debt owed, and any additional liens. Some clients recover a few thousand dollars while others have recovered tens of thousands. Our free assessment will give you a clear picture of what to expect.

4. Who holds the surplus funds until they are claimed?

Answer: After a foreclosure sale, surplus funds are typically held by the state. They remain there until the rightful owner -- or their representative -- files a proper claim. If no one claims them within the state's deadline, the funds may be transferred to unclaimed property programs.

5. What does it cost to use your services?

Answer: We work on a contingency basis. That means you owe us nothing unless we successfully recover funds on your behalf. Our fee is a percentage of the recovered amount, which we discuss transparently before you commit to anything.

6. How long does the recovery process take?

Answer: Typical cases are resolved within 90 days to 6 months. The timeline depends on the state where the property is located and how quickly their administrative process moves. Some states process claims faster than others, and we keep you updated throughout.

7. What if no surplus funds are found?

Answer: If our research determines that no surplus funds exist or that you are not eligible for recovery, you owe us nothing. We absorb the cost of the research. Our money-back guarantee means you are never on the hook for services that do not produce results.

8. What should I do once the funds are recovered?

Answer: The funds are yours to use however you see fit. Some clients put the money toward housing costs, pay down debt, or save it for future expenses. Others invest in starting a business or building an emergency fund. There are no restrictions on how you use your recovered surplus.
