What exactly are surplus funds?
Surplus funds in the context of tax foreclosure and mortgage foreclosure refer to extra money left over after a property is sold at auction to cover outstanding taxes or mortgage debt. Here's a simple breakdown: Tax Foreclosure Surplus Funds:When a property owner fails to pay property taxes, the government can take possession of the property and sell it at a tax foreclosure auction to recover the unpaid taxes. If the property sells for more than the amount owed in taxes, the surplus funds are the extra money left over after the taxes and associated fees are paid off. The original homeowner may be entitled to this surplus fund. Mortgage Foreclosure Surplus Funds: Similarly, in a mortgage foreclosure, if a property is sold at auction to satisfy the outstanding mortgage debt, any proceeds from the sale that exceed the amount owed to the mortgage lender, including fees and legal expenses, constitute surplus funds. These surplus funds belong to the former homeowner, and they may have the right to claim them. However, claiming surplus funds can be a complex legal process, and it's essential to understand the specific laws and procedures governing surplus funds in your jurisdiction.
Curving the situation to your favor.
My name is Drew Fischer, founder and CEO of ARC Nationwide. The main reason I entered this business was that I experienced and went through a hard time in my life, like many others. I went through a mortgage foreclosure over 15 years ago, and at the time, had no knowledge of what a surplus overage was. It was a mentally tough time to go through and after learning, over a decade later, that there was a right to a surplus overage to previous owners, I was dedicated to helping others gain what was rightfully theirs. I only wish that I had known this back then, because I could have used the help. My focus now is to make sure it doesn't happen to others. ARC Nationwide was formed to help curve the situation to your favor."

It takes a village to ensure that every step of the process is taken care of. Jane is an important part of our staff on our procurement team, which assists in auditing government records, to find individuals that may be entitled to surplus funds.
