💰 1. What Are Excess Funds?

Excess funds—also called surplus funds or overage—are the extra money left over after a foreclosure sale.

📉 Example:

Your home is foreclosed and sold at auction for $230,000

You owed the lender $180,000

The difference—$50,000—is the excess funds

That $50,000 could be yours

But here’s the catch: you must legally claim it—and the process is complicated.

We’ve built a proprietary method for locating and recovering these funds. [Fill out the form here] to learn more.

📋 2. How the Excess Funds Process Works

Once a property is foreclosed and sold:

The lender is repaid the mortgage balance

Any liens or fees are addressed

The remaining money is placed with the county or court

If it’s not claimed, it eventually goes to the state

⚠️ Most homeowners never know they’re owed this money, let alone how to claim it legally.
