Helping you start again…
We are committed to helping you recover the excess proceeds you are due by filing a successful claim.
We work directly with the county and charge NO upfront fees.
Excess Proceeds
Excess proceeds, or surplus funds, arise when a foreclosed home sells for more than the outstanding balance of the mortgage or taxes owed. This surplus is rightfully the property of the foreclosed homeowner, not the mortgage company, county or new owner. However, accessing these funds often requires expert knowledge of local laws and meticulous navigation through bureaucratic processes.
At our firm, we specialize in helping homeowners navigate this complex process of recovering excess proceeds from their foreclosure sales. Our dedicated team works relentlessly to simplify this process and maximize the financial recovery for our clients, ensuring that they obtain every cent they’re entitled to after a foreclosure.
We count it a privilege to be your advocates during this challenging and life-changing season and to guide you towards a brighter financial future.
County Records
Our firm takes pride in conducting thorough and accurate research to determine who is entitled to excess proceeds after a foreclosure. We go straight to the source, acquiring court records directly from the county, which provide information disclosing rightful ownership.
Our team of legal professionals carefully examines these documents to establish an iron-clad claim for our clients. This meticulous attention to detail, backed by an unwavering commitment to our clients’ rights, ensures that the rightful owners receive the funds they are due.
We look forward to navigating through this process on your behalf, with the utmost precision and integrity.
Helping You Dream Again... Recovering Your Funds
Our core mission is reuniting previous homeowners or their heirs with the funds that are rightfully theirs. We understand that the aftermath of a foreclosure can be a distressing and confusing time, so we strive to alleviate this stress by guiding our clients through the process with clarity and compassion.
We do not charge any upfront fees, but work on a contingency basis, which means we only get paid when you successfully recover your funds. Our firm is built on the principles of fairness and integrity, and we’re committed to reestablishing financial equilibrium for those affected by foreclosure. Our aim is to serve as your trustworthy partners, assisting with the filing and retrieval process from start to finish.
How Our Process Works
Our firm is committed to helping make the intricate process of recovering your excess proceeds as simple and straightforward as possible.
The process begins when you review the documents we’ve gathered from the county records. Once you’ve had the opportunity to go over the documents, we offer a free consultation with our experienced attorney who will explain the entire process and answer any questions you might have. Following the consultation, we prepare the claim paperwork which needs to be notarized for authenticity and legality. We’ll guide you through this process and ensure all necessary steps are taken. Finally, we file the claim on your behalf.
Our dedicated team manages the entire process, leaving you free from the burden of bureaucracy, ensuring that you receive the funds that are rightfully yours.
Helping You Live Again
The things that really matter in life don’t have a price tag. However, in our society, living requires provision. What matters most to you? How would receiving surplus funds that are rightfully yours change your future?

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn How it Works!
How did Fresh Start find the money?
Our specialists are constantly searching various state and county databases, foreclosure and auction sites and other sources to find surplus funds. There are thousands of foreclosures every month and this number continues to increase.
Are there any upfront fees?
There are no upfront costs. We work with government agencies and our attorneys to get all of the required documentation needed to recover the unclaimed funds. We cover all costs associated with this process. We are only paid a percentage of the surplus that we are able to recover for you.
What Happens if I Do Nothing?
In most cases, there is a time frame before the surplus funds are lost and can no longer be retrieved. Each state and county has their own guidelines. So it is essential that we get started on the claim process quickly to avoid losing the funds.
How did Fresh Start find me?
Once we find a potential surplus available to an individual or company, our research team uses various online tools to find the contact information for them. That is usually phone numbers but can also be addresses, emails and social media details.
How quickly can I receive my money?
The time frame varies from state to state and county to county. It also depends on if you are the original home owner or an heir. In general the claims process and payment can take from 2-4 months. Our team monitors the entire process and will keep you updated.
How do I get paid after funds are recovered?
In most cases, surplus funds are deposited in our attorney’s trust or escrow account. The attorney will send your money by direct deposit or check, based on your preference. Our fee is paid to us through the same process.
