$26,400

Recovered

My house sold at auction two years ago and I just moved on. A friend mentioned this and I honestly thought nothing would come of it. They found $26,400 sitting in the court registry. I didn't even know that was a thing.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

When a property is sold at a foreclosure auction for more than the outstanding mortgage and liens, the excess amount — called "surplus funds" — belongs to the former property owner. Many people don't realize this money exists or how to claim it.

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency basis — we only get paid when you get paid. Our fee is capped at 12% of the recovered surplus under Florida Statute 45.033(3)(d).

Typical timelines range from 30 to 120 days depending on the county, case complexity, and court scheduling. We handle all the legal filings and court appearances — you just wait for your funds.

No. Our process is designed so you don't need your own attorney. We prepare all the legal documents, file the motions, and handle court proceedings. However, you are always welcome to consult your own legal counsel.

We perform a thorough lien search during our due diligence process. Any valid liens (tax liens, HOA liens, judgments) are addressed as part of the court filing. The surplus you receive is after all valid liens are satisfied.

We serve all 67 Florida counties, with primary focus on Broward, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, Hillsborough, and Orange counties — Florida's highest-volume surplus markets.
