Welcome to Surplus School — Not an Agency. Not "The Heir Hunters."
👉 Before we start: if you lost your home and your phone hasn't stopped ringing, read this first!
If you've been getting calls, letters, or knocks on your door about surplus funds —you're probably overwhelmed. Strangers are claiming they can help, but they want 30-50% of YOUR money. Let's slow down and explain what's really happening.

🛑 Let's Stop Those Calls
"You've Been Through Enough. Now Strangers Won't Stop Calling."
Here's what's really going on — and why you don't need to sign anything.
📞 Why They're Calling You
When a property is sold at foreclosure or tax sale for more than what was owed, that extra money — called "surplus funds" — legally belongs to you or your family.
The problem? Counties don't come looking for you. So "recovery companies" search public records, find you, and try to get you to sign over 25-50% of YOUR money.
⚠️ Red Flag: Anyone asking you to sign paperwork before explaining your options fully.
🎓 What We Do Differently
We don't take a percentage. We don't file the claim for you. We teach you how to do it yourself.
- You file "pro se" (self-representation) — it's legal and common
- We walk you through every step privately
- Flat $1,997 fee — only AFTER you succeed
- You keep 100% of your surplus funds
