Franklin County, By The Numbers
Nearly $7.9 million is sitting unclaimed in Franklin County
These are not estimates. They are the Government's own latest published totals for foreclosed properties in this county — and most of the families this money belongs to have never been told it exists.
How the Franklin County money breaks down
Of the 279 Franklin County foreclosures with funds being held, 112 involve $15,000 or more — the kind of money that makes a real difference to a family. The rest are smaller amounts, and every dollar of it belongs to a former owner or their family, not to the Government.
A listing does not by itself confirm that funds are still available for a specific property, or who is entitled to them. That is exactly what our free audit confirms — property by property.
$7,887,536.27
That is the total the Government is currently holding from Franklin County foreclosure sales alone, per the latest Government figures — the largest total in any county we work.
If your property — or a family member's property — was foreclosed anywhere in Franklin County, a free audit is how you find out whether part of that total has your name on it.
Run My Free AuditA Simple Example
How surplus funds happen
This is the basic idea behind almost every recovery. A home sells for more than was owed on it. After the amount owed is covered, the remaining balance becomes surplus funds that may belong to the former owner — or to their family if the owner has passed away.
The Government does not automatically send this money to you. That is why so many Franklin County families never learn it exists. A free audit is how you find out.
See If This Applies To YouExample Only
Home sold at auction$285,000
Amount owed− $260,000
Surplus that may
belong to you$25,000

Every property is different. Amounts vary, and not every foreclosure leaves a surplus. The audit confirms what — if anything — is being held for you.
How It Works
Four steps. We handle the recovery — you stay informed.
Kept deliberately simple and high-level: you should know exactly what happens next, who is responsible at each stage, and what it costs you. Nothing upfront, at any stage.

Franklin County Questions
Frequently asked questions — Franklin County
Straight answers, in plain language. Still unsure? Call us at 513-951-8401 — a person answers, not a script.
Is money really being held for Franklin County foreclosures?
Yes. Per the latest Government figures, the Government is holding $7,887,536.27 in surplus funds from 279 Franklin County foreclosures — and 112 of those foreclosures involve $15,000 or more. That is the largest total in any county we work. This happens when a foreclosed property sells for more than was owed: the extra money is held for the former owner or their family. We re-check these figures weekly.
How do I find out if any of it is mine?
Start with a free audit. Tell us the address of the Franklin County property that was foreclosed — yours, or a family member's — and we audit Government records for that property. If funds are being held, we tell you the full amount before you sign anything. There is no cost to check and no obligation.
How much does it cost?
Nothing upfront, and nothing out of pocket. We work on contingency: our fee is a percentage agreed in writing before we begin, and it is paid only from funds we actually recover for you. If we recover nothing, you owe us nothing — and we cover the costs involved in the recovery.
What if the owner of the property has passed away?
Heirs and family members may still be entitled to the funds. This is very common in our Franklin County work, and we handle these situations with care. Start with a free audit using the property address — that tells us what is being held, and we will explain the next steps for your family in plain language.
I received a letter from R.E.I. Elite about a Franklin County property. What should I do?
Call us at 513-951-8401 or request a free audit on this page using the property address from your letter. It means our audit already flagged funds that may be held in your name, and we will share exactly what we found — including the full amount — before you decide anything.
Is this real — or is this a scam?
It is a fair question, and we encourage you to ask it. Surplus funds are real, and the Franklin County totals on this page come from the Government's own published figures. We are a real Ohio company based in Cincinnati — 2752 Madison Rd — veteran owned, in business since 2016, with a BBB A+ Rating and a 5.0 rating on Google. Our team works Franklin County cases every day from that office, serving Columbus-area families by phone and email. We disclose the full amount our audit finds before you sign anything, and we never ask for money upfront.
Can the Government keep the money if nobody comes forward?
Yes. Unclaimed surplus funds do not stay available forever. If no one comes forward, the money can eventually be lost to the family it belongs to. That is why it is worth checking now — the audit is free and takes just a minute to request.
How long does a recovery take?
Every situation is different, and we will not promise a timeline we cannot control. Many recoveries take a few months from start to payment. We keep you updated throughout so you always know where things stand.
