Surplus Funds Recovery

Your foreclosed home may have left you money behind.

When a property sells at auction for more than what was owed, the excess belongs to the former owner. Most people never find out. ClaimBridge finds it for you — and only gets paid when you recover your funds.

How It Works

Three steps. No upfront cost. No risk.

01

We find your surplus

We audit public county records to identify whether a surplus exists from your foreclosure or tax sale — and estimate how much you may be owed.

02

We handle the paperwork

Once a surplus is confirmed, we prepare and file all required claims and court documents on your behalf — in your state, under your rules.

03

You receive your funds

When the county or court approves the claim, funds are released to you — minus our contingency fee. You pay nothing if we don't recover.

Are you eligible?

You may be owed surplus funds if you lost a property to foreclosure or tax sale in Florida, Georgia, Texas, or Ohio within the last several years — and the sale price exceeded what was owed on the property.

  • Lost a property to foreclosure or tax sale in FL, GA, TX, or OH
  • Property sold at auction for more than the outstanding loan balance
  • Haven't yet filed a claim to recover those funds
  • Are the former owner or an authorized heir

Deadline awareness

Claims have statutory deadlines. In Georgia, tax sale overages must be filed within five years of the sale. In Ohio, you have three years from the date surplus is turned over to the county treasurer. Don't wait.

Fees

Full transparency. No surprises.

We work on contingency. You pay nothing upfront. Our fee comes out of the funds you recover — and is capped by state law where applicable.

Florida
15%
Legal cap within 90 days of tax deed sale. Otherwise, reasonable negotiated rate.
Georgia

Legal cap for claims under $25,000. State-licensed finder not required.

No cap identified. Reasonable rate reflects claim work required.

Not a form letter mill.

Most companies in this space send mass-printed letters with generic language and hope someone responds. ClaimBridge works differently.

Faster, personalized outreach

We identify and reach out to eligible claimants directly, not through generic mailers.

Clean digital claim process

End-to-end digital workflow — from intake to disbursement — with clear status updates at every stage.

State-specific legal compliance

We operate only in states with no special licensing barrier — protecting you and protecting us.

Agreement before work

You sign a contingency agreement — with full fee disclosure — before we do anything on your case.

Money from your foreclosure is sitting in a court registry — waiting for you to claim it.

We find it. We file the claim. We collect only if you get paid. That's the whole model.
