Field Guides

Surplus recovery, state by state.

Everything you need to work foreclosure surplus leads and excess proceeds the right way. Every state handles surplus funds differently - the deadline, who's entitled, the fee limits, what the clerk needs. Pick a state below for the operator playbook on surplus funds and overage leads, plus a plain-English FAQ - or read how to make the first call and how ReVesta builds skip-traced, surplus-confirmed recovery leads.

Not sure which state to start in?

Get the ReVesta State Selector - a one-page guide that maps judicial vs non-judicial states, typical payout timelines, and which 2-3 states give new operators the fastest path to a first fee.

Plus: the Lien Stack Cheat Sheet - the 6 types of liens that silently kill deals before you call.

These are general operator guides, not legal advice. Statute timing, fee limits and what a non-lawyer may do vary by state - verify with the county clerk before acting.
