When a lender forecloses on a mortgage and the property sells at auction for more than the total debt owed, the surplus funds legally belong to you — not the bank, not the county.
Most former homeowners never receive these funds because they moved, didn't know the overage existed, or assumed they had no rights after losing the home. That money may still be sitting unclaimed with the foreclosure trustee.
We specialize in finding these funds and recovering every dollar you are legally owed — with no upfront cost and no risk to you.

"I had absolutely no idea I was owed anything after losing my home. I assumed when it was gone, it was gone. Burton Group reached out and within a few months I had over $54,000 back in my hands. I am still in disbelief. If you got a call from them, please listen — I almost didn't."
"My mother passed away and we had no idea her foreclosure sale generated extra money. Jasmine's team walked us through everything — the probate, the paperwork, all of it. We recovered $31,000 for the estate."
"They were upfront about everything from day one. Told me how much I was owed, how long it would take, and exactly what my share would be. No surprises. The most professional and compassionate team I've worked with."
"I was skeptical at first. How could I still be owed money years after the foreclosure? But they proved it, filed everything, and got me paid. I would have never known without them. Truly grateful."
"Quick, easy, and zero hassle. I signed the paperwork they sent, answered a few questions, and a few months later I had a check. I didn't have to do anything else. Exactly what they promised."
"I called three different companies and Burton Group was the only one that was honest about what I'd actually receive after their fee. That transparency is what made me choose them — and they delivered exactly what they said."
"My dad lost his home a few years back and passed away before he could do anything about it. The team helped me navigate probate and got the funds released to his estate. Cannot thank them enough for their patience with us."

Everything you need to know about mortgage foreclosure surplus funds in Georgia
When a lender forecloses and the home sells at auction for more than the total debt owed (mortgage + fees + costs), the extra money is called surplus or overage funds. Under Georgia law, this surplus generally belongs to the former homeowner — not the bank.
Nothing upfront — ever. We work exclusively on a contingency basis. Our fee is only paid if and when we successfully recover funds for you. If we can't recover anything, you owe us absolutely nothing.
In Georgia, you generally have up to 5 years from the date of the foreclosure sale before funds may be transferred to the state. If you think you may be entitled to funds, it's important to act sooner rather than later.
Yes, in many cases. Heirs of former property owners may be entitled to claim surplus funds. This sometimes requires probate documentation. Our attorney partners have experience navigating these situations.
Other lienholders such as a second mortgage, HELOC, or judgment creditors are paid in order of priority before the former homeowner receives any surplus. We review the full lien history before proceeding so there are no surprises.
No. We work with licensed Georgia attorneys who handle the legal filing as part of our process. You don't need to find or separately hire an attorney — everything is included in how we work.
