Most foreclosures in California follow a nonjudicial process, meaning they occur outside of court. This speeds up the timeline for lenders but doesn’t eliminate homeowner protections. Understanding each step is critical so you can avoid costly mistakes and explore the best way forward.
Lenders must attempt to contact borrowers at least 30 days before filing a Notice of Default (NOD) to discuss loss mitigation options.
After 90 days of missed payments, the lender records an NOD, officially starting the foreclosure process. Homeowners still have 90 days to reinstate the loan.
If the loan is not reinstated, the lender records a Notice of Trustee’s Sale at least 21 days before the auction date.
The property is sold to the highest bidder or reverts to the lender as an REO (Real Estate Owned) property.
Foreclosure moves quickly, but AB 2424 has introduced new safeguards that could give you more time to act—if you take the right steps now. No two cases are the same, and I’m here to help you explore solutions tailored to your needs. Contact me today for a private, pressure-free consultation.
