When your home was sold, the government kept the extra money. We get it back.
Your home sold for more than what you owed. That extra money — sometimes $100,000 or more — is sitting in a government account right now. They will never call you. We will.
We'll tell you exactly how much you're owed — that costs nothing. If we get your money back, we take just 10%. You keep 90%.
Other companies charge 40–45% because they can. We charge 10% because we do this every day, across all 50 states, and volume lets us keep the price low.
You only have a limited time to get your money — some states give you as little as one year. After that, the government takes it forever. No second chances. No exceptions.
You do nothing. We get your money back.
Behind a simple 3-step process for you, there are 17 steps we handle on your behalf — dealing with government offices, legal paperwork, and state-by-state rules.
We Find You
We search county records for people who are owed money after their home was sold. If we find money connected to you, we reach out. If you found us first — even better. Tell us the address and we'll confirm what you're owed within 48 hours.
Free. No obligation. No upfront cost.
We Handle Everything
We figure out which government office has your money. We calculate the exact amount. We prepare all the paperwork, send a notary to meet you wherever is convenient, file everything with the right office, and deal with anyone else who tries to claim your money.
Filed within 14 business days — or our fee drops 50%.
You Get Paid
We follow up with the government until they release your money. We handle any problems. Your check goes directly to you. We only get paid after you do — and if we don't get your money back, you owe us nothing.
Zero risk. Zero upfront cost. That's the deal.
Competitors Take 40%. We Take 10%.
You Keep the Difference.
Most recovery companies take 40–45%. We take 10% — because the person who lost their home should keep the money, not the company that files the paperwork. The math speaks for itself.

Behind the scenes
Here's Why Our 10% Is Worth Every Penny
Getting your money back is not one phone call. It's a multi-step process that changes depending on your state, your county, and your situation. Here is what we do on every single case.
Finding out which government office has your money
Your extra money could be held by the county treasurer, tax collector, sheriff, court clerk, or a state office — it depends on where you live and how your home was sold. We figure out exactly who has it.
Following the rules for your specific state
Every state has different forms, different steps, and different deadlines. Some just need paperwork. Others require us to go through the courts. We know exactly what your state requires.
Preparing all the official paperwork
Your claim needs a stack of documents: agreements, forms that let us file on your behalf, tax forms, government claim forms, and copies of your ID. We prepare everything for you.
Sending a notary to you
We hire a licensed notary in your area to come to your home, office, or wherever is convenient. We prepare all the documents ahead of time. You just sign.
Filing everything with the government
We submit your claim by certified mail, fax, email, and sometimes in person — often through multiple channels at once to make sure they get it. Then we follow up to confirm they received it.
Going to court when needed
Some cases — especially when a mortgage company was involved — require a judge to approve your payment. We work with attorneys to handle the court process for you.
Dealing with other people who try to claim your money
Sometimes other companies or creditors try to take your extra money. We review who has a legal right to it and fight to make sure you get the most back.
Following up until you get paid
Government offices are slow. We call, email, and write letters until your claim is approved and your check is sent. This alone can take weeks of back-and-forth.
Making sure you don't miss the deadline
Every state sets a time limit. After that, the government takes your money forever — and you can never get it back. Some states give you as little as one year. We make sure your claim is filed well before time runs out.
Helping families of deceased homeowners
If the person who owned the home has passed away, we help track down family members who are owed the money, prepare the right agreements, and work with estate attorneys to get the funds to the right people.
All of this is included. No hidden charges. No hourly billing. No surprises.

The Highest Court in the Country Said: This Money Is Yours.
In 2023, every single Supreme Court Justice agreed: the government cannot keep the extra money from selling your home. If your home sold for more than what you owed, that extra money belongs to you.
But no one is going to find you and hand you a check. The government holds your money, and if you don't file a claim before your state's deadline, they take it forever and you can never get it back.
Some states give you as little as one year. Once the window closes, there is no appeal and no exception.
Check If You Are Owed MoneyEvery day you wait, the deadline gets closer.
Your state sets a time limit — usually one to five years. After that, the government keeps your money forever. There is no second chance.
