Money left on the table after a sale.
When a property is sold at a foreclosure or tax-deed auction, it often sells for more than the debt that was owed. That extra amount legally belongs to the former owner or their heirs.
The surplus, or "overage," belongs to you.
The problem? Most people never find out it exists. Funds sit with the county under tight deadlines, and the claim process differs from state to state.
- Funds are held by the county, often with strict deadlines to claim
- Claim processes vary by state and can be confusing to navigate alone
- Unclaimed funds may eventually be absorbed by the government
- We work on contingency — you pay nothing unless we recover
We don't get paid until you get paid. Our fee is collected only from the surplus we successfully recover — never out of your pocket and never before your funds are disbursed.
Illustrative example. Actual surplus amounts vary by property and jurisdiction.
How our fee compares to the industry.
Most surplus recovery firms charge a percentage of what they recover. Across the industry, that fee typically falls between 10% and 30% — and attorney-handled contingency claims can run higher. We commit to keeping our fee below the typical range and always within your state's legal limits.
