Palm Beach County, FL – April 2025
Many homeowners are unaware that a foreclosure auction could result in a surplus — money owed to them even if they weren’t present at the sale. These refunds often range from $5,000 to over $100,000, depending on the property and final bid.
“You don’t have to be there to reclaim your equity,” said a surplus claim agent. “You just need to act before others claim it.”
Recovery groups now offer after-sale checks and claims for absentee owners.
