Honest Answers To Fair Questions

It is a fair question, and asking it is smart. Tax sale surplus is real: when a property sells at a tax sale for more than the taxes owed, the leftover money belongs to the former owner, not the government. The trouble is that this space attracts operators who use pressure and charge very high fees.

The way we try to earn your trust is by being open about everything. There is no cost to ask and no obligation. We put every fee in writing before you agree to anything, and we cover all the filing costs ourselves. All you have to do is agree to let us represent you, sign, and wait. We will also tell you plainly that you can pursue the claim yourself if you would rather. Nothing is hidden.

Because the government does not come looking for you. When there is money left over after a tax sale, no one is knocking on your door to hand it back or calling to make sure you know about it. It is simply not something they go out of their way to return. That is a big part of why so much of this money goes unclaimed, people never find out it was theirs. If it is not claimed in time, it is eventually lost for good.

You are right that you can pursue it yourself, and we will never pretend otherwise. Some people do, and that is completely fine. What we offer is handling the entire process for you: the research, the paperwork, the deadlines, and the filing costs. Every claim has to be done a certain way, and a single mistake or missed deadline can get a valid claim denied. Most people would rather have an experienced team make sure a claim that is rightfully theirs does not get lost over a technicality.

Everything is transparent and upfront from our very first conversation. We tell you our fee right on the call and put it in writing before you agree to anything. Our fee is capped at 30% and is often lower. There is no upfront cost, and we only get paid if we actually recover your money. If we recover nothing, you owe us nothing.

Yes. Recovering surplus funds owed to a former owner is a legitimate, legal process. The funds are rightfully yours under the law, and there are established procedures for claiming them. What we do is help you move through that process correctly and on time. We are a private company, not a government agency or law firm, and we do not provide legal advice.

We will name it ourselves: there is a fee, it comes out of the money we recover, and it is disclosed to you in writing before you agree to anything. That is it. No upfront charges, no hidden terms, and nothing owed if we do not recover your money. We would rather tell you exactly how we get paid than have you wondering.

Nothing upfront, and nothing at all unless we recover money for you. We work on contingency, which means we are paid a percentage of the funds only if the claim succeeds. That percentage is capped at 30%, is often lower, and is disclosed in writing before you commit. We also front the filing costs, like notary, certified mail, and court fees, so you are never out of pocket.

It depends on the specifics of your claim. Some move faster than others, and much of the timeline is out of our hands. What we can tell you is that we handle the paperwork and deadlines so nothing stalls on our end, and we keep you informed along the way. Because claims have deadlines, the most important thing is to start before the window to claim closes.
