Tax Overage Recovery
When properties are sold at tax sale for more than the tax debt, the overage belongs to the former owner. We find it, file it, and recover it.

Client Stories
Real people. Real recoveries.
These are the outcomes our clients describe in their own words — families who thought the door had closed, finding out it hadn’t.
After my foreclosure I thought the money was gone for good. Full Circle found surplus funds that were mine, walked me through every step, and I had a check in my hand in a matter of weeks.
Lisa M.
I had no idea surplus funds from a tax sale were even a thing. Full Circle recovered $15,000 I had written off. They earned every bit of their fee — and zero came out of my pocket upfront.
James R.
Coming out of bankruptcy I didn’t have the energy to fight another paperwork battle. Full Circle handled the entire claim and kept it stress-free. That kind of service meant everything.
Cheryl D.
What I valued most was the integrity. No fee until funds were recovered. No pressure. Honest answers. You can feel that this team has been through real loss themselves.

Frequently Asked
Questions we hear every week.
Straight answers, in plain language — so you know exactly what to expect before you reach out.
We identify and recover surplus funds that belong to individuals and businesses after foreclosures, tax sales, and bankruptcy proceedings. Our attorney-backed team handles the claim from research through payout, so you don’t have to navigate county courts, statutes, or deadlines alone.
You won’t always know — that’s the hard part. Most people never get notified. Start with our free eligibility check: share a few basic details and we’ll research public records for surplus claims tied to your name, a prior property, or a past case.
Completely. Surplus fund recovery is a recognized legal process governed by state statutes. Every claim we file is prepared by or under the supervision of licensed attorneys and follows that jurisdiction’s rules to the letter.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency basis — if we don’t recover funds for you, you don’t pay a thing. Our fee is a pre-agreed percentage, deducted only after funds are delivered to you.
It varies by jurisdiction. Some claims resolve in a matter of weeks; more complex cases can take several months. You’ll receive a realistic timeline during your eligibility review, and status updates throughout.
No. The entire process runs remotely — phone, email, and secure e-signature. We serve clients in all 50 states from our Brockton, MA headquarters, and you can complete everything from home.
Our Story
Built from loss.
Operated with purpose.
Full Circle was founded by Matthew Joffre and Carl O’Neal — two men who both lost their family homes to foreclosure as teenagers in Brockton, Massachusetts.
That lived experience shapes how we work. We know what it feels like to have the system move against you without explanation. Our mission is to make sure no family leaves money on the table simply because the paperwork is designed to be confusing.
-
Disciplined Execution
Every claim, every filing, every deadline — handled with operator-level rigor.
-
Empathy First
We answer the phone like we’re talking to family, because often we are.
-
Results-First Culture
We’re only paid when you are. That alignment drives everything.
Matthew Joffre
Co-Founder & Managing Partner
Leads firm operations and legal strategy. Matthew built the claim desk from the ground up and has personally overseen recoveries totaling eight figures.
Carl O’Neal
Co-Founder
Heads client relations and outreach. Carl has spent the last decade helping displaced homeowners navigate a system most law firms never explain.
