About Surplus School

Our Story

Here's a dirty little secret that most people don't know: When a property goes through foreclosure or a tax sale, there's often money left over after the debt is paid off.

That money — called "surplus funds" — legally belongs to the former property owner or their heirs. But here's the problem: most people never claim it.

Why? Because the process is confusing. The paperwork is intimidating. And frankly, most people don't even know the money exists.

That's why we created Surplus School — to teach entitled claimants exactly how to navigate the system and recover what's rightfully theirs.

Meet the Founder

Mark Allen Greer

Mark founded Surplus School with a simple belief: people deserve to know how to claim what's rightfully theirs without being taken advantage of by expensive attorneys or predatory recovery companies.

After seeing too many former homeowners and heirs lose out on thousands — sometimes tens of thousands — of dollars simply because they didn't know the process, Mark decided to do something about it.

Surplus School was built to level the playing field. We don't file claims for you or practice law. We educate you so you can confidently handle it yourself — and keep more of your money in the process.

"Education is the great equalizer. When you know what to do, you don't need to pay someone else half your money to do it for you."
