Act Early in Redlands

Why Timing Matters for Redlands Homeowners

Most California foreclosures are non-judicial and move through recorded notices rather than a court lawsuit. Acting early gives you the most room to pursue loss mitigation, loan modification, or a civil challenge before a trustee sale is scheduled.

Notice of Default (NOD)

The NOD is recorded with the San Bernardino County Recorder and marks the formal start of the non-judicial foreclosure process under California Civil Code § 2924. It is a public record stating the amount needed to cure the default.

  • Typically follows approximately 120 days of delinquency
  • Starts a 90-day reinstatement period
  • Check: Is the amount accurate? Is the entity filing authorized?

Notice of Trustee Sale (NTS)

The NTS sets the date, time, and location of the foreclosure auction. It is recorded, posted at the property and a public place, and mailed to the homeowner under California Civil Code § 2924f.

  • Must be recorded at least 90 days after the NOD
  • Sale date is typically at least 21 days after NTS is recorded
  • This is your final warning before the auction

Approximate only: The ~120-day delinquency-to-NOD and ~200+ day overall figures are general approximations and vary by loan and servicer. The binding deadlines are the 90-day reinstatement period after the NOD and the minimum 90-day NOD-to-NTS and 21-day NTS-to-sale minimums under California law. In most cases a trustee sale is a non-judicial event at the location designated in the Notice of Trustee Sale, not a court hearing.

California Non-Judicial Process

How the California Trustee-Sale Process Works

Most California foreclosures are non-judicial under a deed of trust. The trustee conducts the sale without a foreclosure lawsuit. The process is governed by California Civil Code § 2924 and related provisions.

  1. 1

    Delinquency & Breach

    Missed payments accrue under the mortgage or deed of trust. Many deeds of trust require a breach letter before a Notice of Default is recorded.

  2. 2

    Notice of Default (NOD)

    Recorded with the San Bernardino County Recorder. Starts a 90-day reinstatement period under Civil Code § 2924c during which the homeowner may cure the default amount.

  3. 3

    Notice of Trustee Sale (NTS)

    Recorded at least 90 days after the NOD. The NTS sets the sale date, ~21 days after recording, and designates the sale venue.

  4. 4

    Trustee Sale (Auction)

    Held at the location designated in the NTS. Winning bidder receives a trustee's deed. In the ordinary non-judicial path there is no statutory right of redemption after the sale.

Homeowner Bill of Rights

  • HBOR § 2923.6 — no dual tracking while a complete loss-mitigation application is under review
  • HBOR § 2923.7 — single point of contact with your servicer
  • HBOR § 2924.17 — accurate documentation and records

Your Options

  • Loss mitigation and loan modification review
  • Civil lawsuit filed separately in court (a filing by itself does not automatically stop a sale)
  • Temporary restraining order / preliminary injunction filed separately

The judicial Answer/summons path applies only if you are named in a court lawsuit. Consult a licensed California attorney about your specific situation.

Local Resources & Assistance

Redlands & San Bernardino County Local Resources

Most Redlands trustee-sale foreclosures are non-judicial and proceed through recorded notices rather than a court case. The county recorder is where the NOD and NTS are recorded, and the San Bernardino County Superior Court serves homeowners throughout the county.

San Bernardino County Superior Court

  • 247 W 3rd St, San Bernardino, CA 92415
  • (909) 708-8600
  • Mon-Fri 8AM-4PM

This is the San Bernardino County Superior Court in the City of San Bernardino, not a Redlands courthouse. The court does not conduct typical trustee-sale auctions. Court matters arise if you receive a summons, complaint, unlawful-detainer filing, or other court document.
