Sky High Associates, LLC
We Specialize in Foreclosure Refund Recovery
Sky High Associates, LLC (SHA) began as a real estate property management company. As our capabilities grew, so did our commitment to helping people recover money they may not have known existed.
We help individuals and heirs identify and recover unclaimed funds remaining from foreclosure sales. Our team provides the resources, guidance, and support needed to establish each client’s potential entitlement and move the claim forward as efficiently as possible.
The post-foreclosure recovery process can be technical and time-consuming. Surplus funds may remain after the mortgage debt, taxes, liens, and authorized expenses have been satisfied. Those funds may be available to the former owner, their heirs, or other eligible claimants. Our recovery specialists explain the process, verify available funds, and coordinate with our legal partners when attorney assistance or court filings are required. Eviction-related assistance may also be available in qualifying cases.
There is no upfront cost to determine whether you may qualify for a recovery. We advance the research, filing, administrative, and legal-coordination expenses required to pursue your claim.
Our firm works on a contingency basis—no upfront fees, ever. We are paid only after a successful recovery. All applicable fees and costs are explained before you sign.
If you've received a call, letter or postcard from our organization, it's because we’ve located funds we believe belong to you.
We’ll help you take the right steps to avoid losing your money from a foreclosure
What Happens at a Foreclosure!
At a Tax Deed or Mortgage foreclosure auctions, your property is being sold due to unpaid taxes or mortgage. The opening bid at this auction is for the amount of taxes or mortgage that is owed.
Usually these properties sell for an amount that is higher than the opening bid and any left over monies is due to the previous owner. The courts send out surplus notifications letters, but usually to the last address on record so you are never informed.
We understand that navigating through the complex and time consuming process is overwhelming. We are trusted, dedicated and successful in assisting our clients in reclaiming their funds held by the agencies and the courts.
