Surplus Funds After Foreclosure: Key Facts and Recovery Options for Homeowners

National Equity Agency (NEA) is pleased to announce expanded services to assist homeowners in recovering surplus funds following foreclosure sales

WEST PALM BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, January 2, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- National Equity Agency (NEA) is pleased to announce expanded services to assist homeowners in recovering surplus funds following foreclosure sales. Surplus funds, also referred to as excess proceeds, are the remaining balance when a property sells for more than the amount owed. These funds provide former homeowners with a critical financial resource during challenging times.

What Are Surplus Funds?
Surplus funds arise when the proceeds from a foreclosed property sale exceed all debts tied to the property, such as mortgages, liens, and legal expenses. For example, if a property with a foreclosure judgment of $200,000 sells for $225,000, the $25,000 difference becomes surplus funds. These funds rightfully belong to the former homeowner or other eligible claimants but often require navigating legal processes to recover.

How Do Surplus Funds Arise?
Surplus funds arise after all outstanding obligations—such as mortgage balances, taxes, liens, and foreclosure-related costs—are settled from the sale proceeds of a foreclosed property. These funds are typically held by the court or trustee until claimed by the rightful owner, often the former homeowner.
