Act Early

Virginia Foreclosure Timing & Notices

Understanding the timing of a non-judicial trustee sale matters. The earlier you review your notices, the more room you may have to explore your options.

Review Default & Servicer Notices Early

The process typically begins with default-related correspondence from your lender or servicer. Reviewing those early notices can help you understand where things stand and what documents to prepare.

14-Day Sale-Notice Marker

Dream Legal's current Virginia saved sources use a 14-day foreclosure-sale notice marker in the state's non-judicial trustee-sale framework. This is a notice marker, not a cure period or an Answer deadline.

Loss Mitigation & Servicer Review

Loan modification, forbearance, repayment plans, and other foreclosure alternatives may be available through your servicer or a housing counselor. No outcome is guaranteed, but exploring these options early can help.

The Process

Virginia's Non-Judicial Trustee-Sale Process

Virginia foreclosure is non-judicial. It proceeds under the deed of trust and the trustee's power of sale, not through an ordinary court foreclosure lawsuit.

01

Default / Servicer Notices

The lender or servicer typically begins with default-related notices and communications.

02

Deed of Trust & Trustee Process

The trustee or substitute trustee administers the sale under the deed of trust and the power of sale.

03

14-Day Sale-Notice Marker

Dream Legal's current Virginia saved sources use a 14-day foreclosure-sale notice marker before the trustee sale.

04

Trustee Sale

The property is sold at the location designated for the trustee sale unless resolved beforehand.

A Separate Court Path Exists for Homeowner Challenges

A homeowner may bring a separate civil/equitable action in Circuit Court to challenge a trustee sale and request TRO/injunction relief where appropriate. This is a separate homeowner challenge path — filing does not automatically stop foreclosure, and an injunction is not guaranteed. Ordinary Virginia trustee-sale foreclosure is not a foreclosure lawsuit.
