Who We Are
At the National Association of Abandoned Funds Recovery (NAAFR), we specialize in one thing—helping former homeowners reclaim surplus funds left behind after a foreclosure sale. Unlike general asset recovery services that handle a wide range of unclaimed funds, we focus exclusively on foreclosure surplus recovery because it is the most frequent and significant source of unclaimed money for individuals who have lost their homes.
When a foreclosed property is sold for more than what was owed, the extra money—known as excess proceeds—legally belongs to the former homeowner. However, due to lack of awareness, complex legal procedures, and strict deadlines, many people never claim their rightful funds. These funds often end up lost in government accounts or seized by third parties. That’s where NAAFR steps in.
How We Secure Your Surplus Funds
Our expert team of case managers works directly with former homeowners to:
- Identify unclaimed foreclosure surplus funds using county and court records.
- Verify eligibility and handle the legal paperwork required to recover the money.
- Navigate the complex claims process efficiently and professionally.
- Advocate for homeowners to ensure they get every dollar they’re entitled to.
At NAAFR, we don’t just assist with recovery—we are your trusted partner in reclaiming what’s legally yours. Our mission is simple: maximize outreach, streamline the claims process, and make sure you receive your rightful surplus funds—quickly and hassle-free.
