SURPLUSNORTH — SURPLUS LEAD REVIEW CHECKLIST
https://surplusnorth.com/resources

Use one checklist per record. Keep completed reviews in your own secure workspace.

[ ] 1. Official source
    Save the county, clerk or court URL, the source file and the date you checked it.

[ ] 2. Sale and case identity
    Record the sale type, county, state, case number and parcel reference when available.

[ ] 3. Usable owner name
    Resolve ambiguous names and keep co-owners connected to the same case.

[ ] 4. Searchable property street address
    Verify the property location. Keep the mailing address in a separate field.

[ ] 5. Supported surplus amount
    Record the listed amount, its source and whether it is confirmed or still needs review.

[ ] 6. Current record status
    Check the current official record for updates, claims or disbursement information rather than relying only on an old file.

[ ] 7. Current local requirements
    Locate the responsible office’s current instructions. Refer legal eligibility, deadlines and representation questions to qualified counsel when needed.

[ ] 8. Eligible phone
    Confirm an active phone explicitly marked non-DNC. Preserve opt-out, wrong, disconnected and removed-number decisions.

[ ] 9. Duplicate review
    Compare case and parcel identifiers before merging. A matching name alone is not enough.

[ ] 10. Clear next action
    Assign a person, a next step and a follow-up date. Keep unresolved questions visible.
