West Palm Beach, FL – April 2025
Losing a home can feel like the end of the road. But for thousands of Floridians, the foreclosure sale can also come with a silver lining — surplus funds. These excess proceeds can amount to tens of thousands of dollars, and they belong to the homeowner or their heirs.
“We’ve helped clients recover $25,000, $40,000, even over $100,000,” said John Ellis, a Palm Beach surplus specialist. “It’s money that can change someone’s life — but only if they know to claim it.”
Advocates are pushing for more public awareness so families don’t leave behind what’s rightfully theirs.
