Foreclosure Surplus Recovery
When a foreclosed property sells for more than what's owed, the excess belongs to the former homeowner. We find it and recover it — at no upfront cost.
Check If You're Owed Money →What Are Foreclosure Surplus Funds?
When a homeowner defaults on their mortgage, the lender may foreclose and sell the property at auction. If the sale price exceeds the total debt (mortgage balance, fees, and liens), the remaining amount is called surplus funds or excess proceeds.
These funds legally belong to the former homeowner — but most people never claim them. The money sits with county clerks, courts, or trustees, sometimes for years, waiting to be claimed.
DMAX Asset Recovery specializes in identifying these funds, verifying your eligibility, and filing the necessary claims on your behalf.

Foreclosure Surplus FAQ
How do I know if there are surplus funds from my foreclosure?
We search county records, court filings, and auction results to determine if surplus funds exist from your property's sale. Our initial review is completely free.
How long do I have to claim foreclosure surplus funds?
Deadlines vary by state — some allow claims for several years, while others have shorter windows. The sooner you act, the better your chances of a successful recovery.
Can heirs claim foreclosure surplus funds?
Yes. If the former homeowner has passed away, their legal heirs are typically entitled to the surplus funds. We help heirs navigate the additional documentation required.
What if there are liens or judgments against the property?
Outstanding liens may reduce the surplus amount, but there's often still money left after all debts are satisfied. We analyze the full picture before proceeding.
