It's called surplus. It often goes unclaimed for years — sometimes forever — because no one tells the former owner it exists. We find those funds, and we help the people they belong to claim them.
A foreclosed property is auctioned. The proceeds pay off the lender, the fees, and the liens against the property.
When the sale price exceeds what was owed, the remainder doesn't belong to the bank or the county. It belongs to the former owner.
The surplus is held by the court or county. No one is obligated to track the family down, so it waits — and in many states, eventually escheats away.
In Hebrew, the go'el was the relative who stepped in when a family lost its land — the one with both the right and the responsibility to buy it back. It's an old idea about who shows up when a family is at its lowest. We took the name because it describes the work, and because it sets the standard we intend to be held to.
We're a family business. We prosper only when the people we serve recover what was theirs.
We do the record search, assemble the claim, and carry it through the county process. If nothing is recovered, you owe nothing. Our fee comes out of the funds only after they reach you.
