Frequently Asked Questions

We have tried to make a list of the most common questions people have asked us during our many tears in this business. Check below if you can find your answer and if not - do not hesitate to reach out directly to our team.

Where do you provide services? What If I Live In a Different State?

No need to worry about that. We cover all states in the US, we have our attorneys in each state. For more detailed information about your situation, fill out the contact form and one of our highly trained representatives will reach out to you and discuss the next steps.

What is the Overage?

It is just one of the names for the leftover money that many homeowners are entitled to after their properties go under foreclosure. Overage is created after a certain property is sold at an auction for more than what was owed to the bank/lender or the county.

Who Are You?

We are a nationwide organization that helps people recover unclaimed funds. Everyday, on average, THREE THOUSAND foreclosures take place. The properties seized during these proceedings result in the property being sold at auction either online, at the local sheriff's office or in person by sealed bids. Many times, the property is sold for MUCH more than what was owed. The leftover funds are usually held by a third party in the hopes they will not be claimed and after a state regulated period of time, the excess funds are forfeited and usually end up in the the governments hands. Our goalis to help our clients recover as much of that money as we can.

How Do I Know This is Not a Scam and You Won’t Take My Money?

That is a very fair question. To safeguard you and your interest, we will never ask you for any money upfront. In fact we assume all the financial risk. We only get paid if we recover funds for you. You will never be asked to share any card details with anyone from our organization. You shouldn’t give us your bank account or any cash upfront.

The only way we are compensated is if we manage to recover your funds.

How Can I Be Certain That You Won’t Take All the Funds?

We understand that you feel vulnerable and have been through considerable emotional and financial hardship. To ensure you are always protected We sign an a legally binding agreement that describes everything, and which, of course, you can check with your attorney before signing it off. In this agreement, we make sure that we cover, very precisely, everything (including what percentage of these funds goes to us after we recover them for you).

Why Should I Hire You If I Can Do It All By Myself?

You sure can do everything by yourself. It is just easier and much more convenient for you not to spend your time and money to research where your funds are, contact all the people you need to get in touch with, pay for an attorney, pay all the fees for getting documents from the government entities, and prepare all the documentation, forms, and paperwork, learn about the laws and regulations, etc.

People hire us because we have experience and knowledge in this industry and because there is no risk.
