What Are Foreclosure Surplus Funds?
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.
The lender keeps what's owed
The foreclosing lender takes their outstanding balance plus fees and legal costs from the sale proceeds.
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.
