OCOVERY

Recover Money After A Foreclosure Sale

Lenders don’t always tell you when you’re owed money after foreclosure. We do.

Let us help you recover the funds you’re legally entitled to.

Turning Setbacks Into Opportunities

Foreclosure is a challenging experience, but it can also present a unique opportunity. When a property is sold at foreclosure for more than the amount owed on the mortgage and associated costs, the excess funds, known as "overage" or "surplus funds", are rightfully owed to the former homeowner. Unfortunately, many individuals are unaware of these funds or struggle to claim them due to complex legal and administrative hurdles.

At Ocovery, our mission is to ensure you receive every dollar you are entitled to, with no compromise—just maximize.

What Are Surplus Funds?

Surplus funds are the proceeds remaining after a foreclosed property is sold and all debts, fees, and costs are paid. If your home was sold for more than what you owed, you may be entitled to claim these funds. Many former homeowners miss out simply because they are unaware of their rights or the process involved.

Why Do Surplus Funds Exist?

Properties often sell for more than the outstanding mortgage at auction.
Lenders and counties are legally required to pay the excess to the rightful owner.
These funds can be substantial, sometimes amounting to tens of thousands of dollars.

The Foreclosure Process: Where Do Surplus Funds Come From?

Understanding the foreclosure process is key to knowing when and how surplus funds arise:

Default: The homeowner falls behind on mortgage payments.
Foreclosure Sale: The property is auctioned to recover the lender’s losses.
Distribution of Proceeds: The lender, county, and any other lienholders are paid first. Any remaining funds are classified as surplus.
Claiming Surplus Funds: The former homeowner is eligible to claim the remaining balance.

Common Challenges in Recovering Surplus Funds

While surplus funds are legally yours, the path to recovery can be difficult:

Complex Paperwork: Legal filings and documentation requirements can be overwhelming.
Strict Deadlines: Missing a deadline can result in forfeiture of your claim.
Unresponsive Agencies: Navigating government offices and lender bureaucracy is often frustrating.
Fraud Risks: Scammers may target individuals owed surplus funds.
