At Foreclosure Focus, we deliver targeted media coverage, strategic press releases, and in-depth reporting across the foreclosure and real estate landscape. Our mission is to inform, connect, and amplify the voices of those involved in foreclosure recovery, property rights, housing policy, and financial justice.
We collaborate with foreclosure attorneys, surplus recovery agencies, investors, and real estate professionals to help promote services, cases, and trends shaping the distressed property space. Our press releases enhance visibility, build credibility, and connect businesses to their ideal audience.
Foreclosures often impact entire communities — including vacation and destination markets. We highlight housing shifts in high-traffic tourist zones, short-term rental foreclosures, and real estate transitions in seasonal destinations.
We support educational institutions, nonprofits, and training providers with press campaigns that spotlight foreclosure education, homeowner support initiatives, financial literacy programs, and industry-specific workshops.
We cover government foreclosure programs, surplus disbursement efforts, legal reforms, and initiatives aimed at protecting homeowners. Our reporting helps demystify policy and connect the public with the resources they need.

Trusted Updates on Surplus Funds, Foreclosure Trends, and Housing Policy in 2025

View Surplus Fund Archive →What They Are and How to Claim Them
Surplus funds, also known as excess proceeds or foreclosure overage, refer to money left over after a foreclosed property is sold and all debts (like a mortgage or liens) are paid. If the sale price exceeds the amount owed, that extra money becomes surplus funds. Learn more about what surplus funds are.
Surplus funds come from competitive bidding at sheriff or trustee sales. When third-party buyers pay more than the debt owed, the difference becomes court-held surplus. After satisfying the mortgage and liens, remaining funds go to the homeowner. See an example of how surplus funds can help.
Unfortunately, this space attracts predatory actors who offer to “help” but charge up to 75% of the funds. Legitimate services often charge less and some states even cap fees. See how to spot and avoid scams.
Claiming surplus funds is your right, and with the right guidance, it can be stress-free. Our guides and professional resources can help you get started today. Contact The Foreclosure Focus for free resources, FAQs, and support.
