Did your property sell at a county auction?
There may be money with your name on it.
When a property sells for more than what was owed in taxes and liens, the leftover - the surplus - is held by the county. Most owners are never notified, and unclaimed funds can eventually be kept by the state.
How it works:
1. We research.
County records indicate whether funds are being held from your sale.
3. We file the claim for you.
Paperwork, filings, follow-through - handled.
4. You get paid.
Our fee is a percentage of what you actually receive, agreed in writing before anything is signed. No upfront cost, ever. No recovery, no fee.
A simple, as-is sale -
no agents, no repairs, no showings.
We buy properties directly, and we work with a network of vetted local cash buyers. If your property fits, we'll walk you through a real offer - no pressure, and no obligation to accept.
- Any condition - repairs are our problem after closing, not yours
- No commissions or seller fees
- You pick the timeline that works for you

You should check us out.
Here's how.
Call the county.
If we contacted you about surplus funds, call the Clerk of Courts in that county and ask whether funds are held from your property's sale. Get it from the source - then decide.
One number, everywhere.
Our letters, emails, and this page all use the same callback line: (312) 818-2882. If a message from "us" uses a different number, it isn't us.
No upfront fees. Ever.
We are paid only from results, under a written agreement you review before signing.
We are a private firm.
Capital Syndicate / Cash Guardians LLC is not a government agency and is not affiliated with any county or court. We are not attorneys and don't give legal advice.
We're a broker, not a lender.
On lending, we connect investors with lenders; we never fund deals directly.
FAQ
Is this a scam?
Healthy question. Verify with the county directly (above), check that the phone number matches our letters, and never pay anyone upfront to "release" funds - including us. We never ask.
How much does surplus recovery cost?
Nothing upfront. Our fee is a percentage of the amount actually recovered, stated in writing in the agreement before you sign. No recovery, no fee.
Can I file the claim myself?
Yes - the Clerk's office can give you the paperwork. We exist for people who'd rather have the process handled: research, documents, filing, and follow-up.
How long does it take?
It depends on the county and the case. We won't promise a date we can't control - we'll tell you what the county's process actually looks like for your case.
Do you buy houses in any condition?
Yes - as-is is the point. Condition goes into the offer math, not into a repair list for you.
Do you lend in my state?
Availability varies by state and some states require a licensed broker. Book a conversation and we'll tell you straight which lane your state falls in.
