Foreclosure in Maryland is a court-driven, judicial process. Once a lender files in Prince George's County Circuit Court, the clock begins to tick on your right to respond, request mediation, or pursue a foreclosure alternative.
When you're served with an Order to Docket and Complaint to Foreclose, your response window in Maryland is tight. Missing it can lead to a default judgment and a faster foreclosure sale.
Maryland offers foreclosure mediation as a chance to work out a loan modification, repayment plan or other resolution before the case moves toward a sale.
A foreclosure sale rarely captures the full value of your home. Acting early can help you preserve equity and explore options that a rushed process often closes off.
If you've received any foreclosure notice in Prince George's County, don't wait — the earlier you act, the more options you typically have.

Missing payments triggers a default. The lender may begin servicing actions and send collection or loss-mitigation correspondence before any formal foreclosure filing.
The lender must comply with Notice of Intent to Foreclose requirements and other pre-filing steps before filing a foreclosure action in Maryland Circuit Court.
The lender files an Order to Docket and a Complaint to Foreclose in Prince George's County Circuit Court. You'll be served with these court papers.
You have a limited window to respond and can request foreclosure mediation — a structured chance to pursue a loan modification, repayment plan or other foreclosure alternative.
If the case proceeds, a foreclosure sale is scheduled and noticed. The sale transfers the property, subject to court approval and later ratification.
