Foreclosure Surplus Funds

Owed Money After Your Foreclosure? We Can Help You Recover It

  • We connect you with surplus recovery attorneys (contingency, no upfront fees)

What Are Foreclosure Surplus Funds?

1

Your home goes to foreclosure auction

The lender forecloses and your home is sold at a public auction — often for more than the loan balance.

2

The lender keeps what's owed

The foreclosing lender takes their outstanding balance plus fees and legal costs from the sale proceeds.

3

The excess belongs to you

Any money left after the lender and junior lienholders are paid is surplus funds — legally owed to you, the former homeowner.

Important: Every state has a deadline to claim surplus funds — some as short as 30 days, others as long as 10 years. The sooner you act, the easier recovery is.

The Better Option: Sell Before the Foreclosure

Surplus funds from a foreclosure auction are usually far less than what you'd receive selling directly to us before the auction. Auction costs, trustee fees, and attorney fees all reduce what's left for you.

  • ❌ Trustee / attorney fees deducted

  • ❌ Remaining surplus (if any) requires a claim

  • ❌ Claim deadlines — miss it and lose it
