Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
Assuming there are no other creditors, you would receive any overage, that is any money from the foreclosure sale above the amount you owe (which would include interest and various fees) would go to you. However, any property sold at foreclosure or any type of distress sale will go for a lower price than if sold in the normal course of business, probably nowhere near what you think is the fair market value. There are also fees associated with foreclosure sales which will have to be paid "off the top".
