Each section of the program had a clear steps, which i really liked. A little dry but for me I'd rather have that than a bunch of flush in the course content.

Less hype, more momentum

This didn’t magically change anything overnight, but it did get me moving. Not perfect, not polished but thorough enough that I didn’t feel manipulated. That alone earned some trust from me.

I've bought courses before that were basically motivational talks stretched into "training." This wasn't that. Every section clearly explained what to do, why it matters, and what to expect next. It felt like learning a real process, not being sold a fantasy.

One thing I respect is that they’re upfront about the learning curve. They don’t pretend everyone’s going to crush it immediately, which made it easier to trust the material. I’ve started and abandoned a lot of things because the instructions were either too vague or way too complex for no reason. This landed somewhere in the middle. There’s a clear process, and once I followed it step by step, things started clicking. For the first time in a while, I didn’t quit halfway through.

Great information

Great information, still learning a lot. What stood out was the lack of "secret method" hype. No vague promises or insider-only language. They explain the process openly and are honest about what takes effort and time.

Great course and would definitely recommend.

The course gave me structure, which is what I was missing. I’ve had motivation for years. What I didn’t have was a clean framework I could actually follow without overthinking. The industry of overages is legit and when you go to the county site the public records are there. This made it easier to just execute instead of constantly second-guessing.

Dear Rose Golden,

Thank you for your comment. Although you did not initially provide the information needed for us to investigate, we were able to locate your account and our prior conversation. In December, you purchased the Foreclosure Secrets program under the 3‑Pay plan at $197 per month.

I explained the payment structure to you, and you have had full access to the program throughout. Despite this, you continued to raise complaints about access. Unfortunately, after using inappropriate language, you stopped responding to our messages and chose to leave this comment instead.

We wish you the very best in your future endeavors, and remain committed to providing the highest level of service to you and all our customers.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Our goal is to make sure your dashboard and resources remain available whenever you need them, without surprise renewals or disappearing content. Knowing you were able to log back in long after purchase and still find everything intact means we’re delivering on that promise. That’s exactly the kind of experience we want people to have. We appreciate your trust and look forward to continuing to support you!

After watching the videos and reading the good, the ugly, the bad reviews ... I'm excited to get started. But I am wondering if there are any Canadians who have succeeded using this program, as I live and work in Canada and am going to launch this as my side hustle to help owners get back their money!

In Canada, foreclosure surplus recovery is less publicized than in the U.S., but there are Canadians who have successfully reclaimed surplus funds, usually by working directly with provincial courts or through unclaimed property offices. While you won’t find as many flashy testimonials as in U.S. programs, the process exists here, and some recovery specialists have adapted U.S. training to Canadian provincial law.

I have invested more than $13000 in this thing only because i was told by Sean Brady that i would have one on one help which was true at all. He failed to mentioned that it was study program. He failed to mentioned that I had to register to Skool app and no one ever tried to reach out to me. within one day of seeing what it was really about, i requested a full refund to no avail. PLEASE DO NOT INVEST IN A PROGRAM LIKE THIS. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET WHAT THEY TOLD YOU IN THAT ZOOM MEETING. BUYERS BE AWARE. THEYRE SCAMMERS.

Hi Luisa,

Thank you for taking the time to express your thoughts. We do offer 1-1 coaching help and have reached out to you many times to get you started in the program. You mention our Skool platform which shows you did receive the information on how to get started and plugged in. Skool is a community platform to connect with coaches and others in the industry. You do not have to download an app; it's a website as well. We utilize Skool because it is very user friendly.

When you paid to join you read and signed an agreement that outlined exactly what you were paying for and would receive, this also included the details of our refund policy. We understand people may change their mind and in recognition of this we offered you a partial refund on October 9th, 2024. You declined this offer.

We are still happy to support you in the program and assist you in reaching your goals in the surplus industry. Please feel free to call, text or email us with any other questions.

SCAM SCAM SCAM - STAY AWARE FROM FORECLOSURE ACADEMY

WHERE TO START?
If you're going to waste your money with this company, I suggest just buying their $200 E-BOOK. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYMORE MONEY. YOU WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL, NO MATTER WHAT THEY OFFER, OR WHAT HELP YOU GET!!! THEY ALSO WILL NOT PROVIDE YOU A REFUND EVEN THOUGH THEY CLAIM TO HAVE A MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE.

I gave them $10,000 of my hard earned money with the promise of a money back guarantee, "if I made contact with at least 100 homeowners IN 6 months who said no, and therefore didn't close a deal."

Well, despite my VA (virtual assistant) and I making over 10,000 calls in 6 months, we got about 250 'no' answers from actual homeowners. See the caveat in their legal language is “actual homeowners”. Whereby many of these properties are being foreclosed due to homeowners dying. So relatives don’t count towards your quota.

The calls are supposed to be recorded in the CRM *(customer relationship management). however, for some reason & conveniently they didn't record, so the company was unwilling to give me credit for making all 10,000 calls without closing a deal. They claimed I had about 50 “no” answers from actual homeowners when it was actually appx 250.

Reading through other REAL reviews here, it's Clear that FORECLOSURE ACADEMY will make up whatever story they need to in order to not refund people their money, despite their money-back guarantees. They are manipulative and predatory.

These guys are a serious legit scam! no fake scam here. real deal scam artists. They pretend to be offering people support in helping them to be successful with a home business, but the chances of success are way less than 1%.
Unclaimed Funds from a Foreclosure are a minefield of legal issues for people who are not actual lawyers. I couldn't find one lawyer in any state willing to work with me to help people reclaim their funds.

In fact in my homestate of NC, I reached out to a lawyer who is working with clients in these cases, but he refused to work with me as a 3rd party, and highly discouraged me from pursuing this venture myself, due to potential legal issues. He did offer me a $1000 commission, if I Brought him homeowners who are due overage funds.

The legal issues are rampant because the nature of the reclaim funds industry has become so predatory that now most county court systems warn homeowner who receives foreclosure documents of programs like F.A. looking to charge a fee, whereby homeowners can gain access to these funds directly from the court systems/banks involved without any out of pocket expenses to themselves.

Unto itself - this wouldn't be an issue. So technically what Foreclosure Academy is teaching people is not impossible *(though so improbable that in 6 months, I never met anyone who retrieved funds for a client, and received a fee check.

I did meet a lot of people wanting to believe in the program, and hoping to be successful if they just focused on the positive.

In this case, I would call that toxic positivity. I can’t wait to see what BS Foreclosure Academy comes up with in response to my post here. I promise it will be 100% BS protecting their image, and attempting to continue swindling people out of their hard earned money.

If they take accountability for scamming folks, then maybe they would be less of a narcissist, but they will absolutely not take accountability for scamming me through their legal fake news loopholes, nor any other poor schmuck on here, thus confirming that they are full blown narcissist scam artist.

Oh, and to be clear, I did ask for a refund, and was denied, due to them not seeing all the hoops I jumped through. i.e. their software glitching, etc.

Hi Micah,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We would like to start by addressing your concerns regarding the reclaim funds industry. As you can imagine, every state has different regulations; and subsequently, every county may as well. Within our course we provide a breakdown of each state and their current regulations to help our members navigate the best path to success. North Carolina is not a recommended state for surplus recovery as they do have loopholes for third party claimants. Nevertheless, this lawyer's proposition for you to earn commission illustrates viability in this industry.

You are correct, it can be hard to find lawyers to work with; for this reason, we provide attorney referrals. It is hard to find lawyers well versed in foreclosure surplus and many will only work with you on retainer or with a previous client list.

Anyone is welcome to buy our Ebook or Foreclosure Secrets course. Our Fast Track coaching program is available for those who want mentorship. You paid us to teach you how the foreclosure surplus recapture business works. You share that you made 10,000 calls in our CRM with the help of a VA, that we trained and provided for you. The CRM, VA, attorney referrals are just 3 examples of services available to you as a result of joining our program.

We are sorry to hear you were not able to get a "yes" in the calls you attempted during the 6 months you were in our program. You are correct in saying our refund policy is conditional upon calls made and recorded in your CRM account. It is standard for any CRM software to record calls. We do not have the ability, nor would we ever, alter your CRM settings, as you have implied, to not record calls made. Further, all connected calls have an automated prompt announcing that the call is recorded. Many of our members listen to their VA call recordings to provide feedback and manage their business. We understand your disappointment in having your refund request denied however we hope you can understand the need to have calls recorded in order to verify their validity. If you have any screenshots or emails regarding you experiencing a software glitch as mentioned, please email it to [email protected] and we can look into this further.

If you have any further questions or need clarification, feel free to reach out to our support team at [email protected]. We’re always here to help.

Please do your research before making investments people

Upon seeing the advertisements for this "program" I quickly became interested in further investigating it's potential as an investment or side gig. The promise that there is no initial investment (repeated over and over) in its initial advertisement is extremly misleading. OK... you get a 60 min promo video free... than can decide to invest. This is true. But, want your money back? If you change your mind? It's not as easy as a email or phone call(which users state the phone goes unawnsered) They do state in certain programs you can get your money back BUT...It is CONDITIONAL. - I have also noticed over time through thoroughly reading reviews and complaints on BBB (which I highly recommend you do ..and will comment on that later in this review)
that they have changed the wording over time, in the money back gaurentee... initially starting with.. you must make 100 call ... this seems fair... you should put in the work and be able to prove that you tried and the program just didn't work for you right? ... OK... than it changes to 100 conversations. Lol.. than it turns to "In order to qualify, you must have at least 100 conversations with the correct person (claimant/potential client) and not close any deals from those conversations." Speaking to 100 people from a list updated weekly -- i found myself thinking ... but that tons of other people hoping to make it big are calling from... how do you get 100 convos in before the gaurentee time ends? ..well im sure its POSSIBLE......And they recommend 100 calls per day. -not a side gig any longer... The lead list goes to everyone in your "class" You do not get a unique list to call from just for you. This means there are A LOT of other people calling the same people you are...who are probably sick of getting these unsolicited calls xyz times per day. The pricing for buying into their training program is HUNDREDS to THOUSANDS of dollars. Based on reviews I read .. their sales teams intentionally misleads and encourages investment gaurenteeing and promising things that cannot/ should not be gaurenteed. ----see better business bureau website..I've seen reviews where they pull video call transcripts and email from "coaches" but blatantly ignore multiple complaints by CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE PAID THOUDANDS OF DOLLARS - about promised made by sales teams. Which, any reputable company can and does record customer sevice/sales call and should have access to those... (but why pull those???hm.) I highly recommend you check out their better business account if by reading these reviews you still somehow are interested in investing money (before making a decison to invest. The tones in these reviews gives, - you can't touch me haha, snarky passive agressive responses. -Just wait till you see BBB. They use the 30 day gaurentee time to their full advantage or their "if you recieve our on-boarding email before you cancel" line - litterally hours difference from when it was sent to cancelation and they declined thousands. Even though people are saying they had to go bankrupt because of the initial investments into this company and they are saying " we believe we upheld our part of the contract" yeah. OK maybe. But highly unethical ... Praying on vulnerable people who have little hoping to get a small piece of the pie. A business monopolizing on peoples worst nightmare -becoming homeless and loosing their houses and blaming it all on the government. (Maybe the only truth peice to this company imo) They sneak in that the advertisements are not typical and that most people don't make as much- or anything but people are already starting eyed by the "potential" to get rich they don't read that tiny little line. but it's your fault for not reading it tho Come on guys if it seems to good to be true. It is. Do your research get a time for how a company operated by its reviews and their responses. It's buyer beware. In my opinion, the only people getting rich on this is Foreclosure Accademy. But for me, it is the tone of their responses. Oh and further, a lot of people mentions smaller (in the hundreds- not really small but small for this company's withdrawal amounts) being withdrawn from account, conviently these seem to be returned without incident ...but how many people don't notice or complain about these little charges being deducted thay they keep? Hold your children close and your credit card closer. Be safe out there people! This is my experience in reviewing this company through review thoroughly and why i have decided not to invest in this company. I fully intend to hear a snarky full of excuses response. Which will go unread. I just want consumers to be educated,to do their research before making any final investment decision. I hope this helps another vulnerable person from loosing thousand

Hi unnamed customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Anyone who wants to join our coaching program is welcome to. We do record calls which is standard business practice and is a benefit to our members and ourselves as a company. Recording calls also puts the earnest on us to not make egregious claims, as you have implied. We are always happy to share any call recordings to be transparent with our members.

Furthermore, any one who joins our program signs a membership agreement. This document clearly lays out what the program offers "deliverables" in addition to what our refund policy is. Our 30-day refund policy is no questions asked for our Foreclosure Secrets course. There is no onboarding email involved in this. Anyone who requests a refund within 30 days for the Foreclosure Secrets course is granted one. In searching our reviews you can see this refund policy upheld through and through.

Our operations team always upholds the deliverables in the membership agreement. We understand this business, and our company and services are not for you. We respect that and wish you well on whatever endeavor you explore.
