Marcus purchased a home in Las Vegas using a deed of trust. He has fallen behind on payments, and the lender has initiated a non-judicial foreclosure under NRS Chapter 107. Which of the following statements about Marcus's rights and the foreclosure process is NOT accurate under Nevada law?

Correct Answer

A) Marcus retains a statutory right to redeem the property for up to six months after the trustee's sale is completed by paying the full sale price

Option B is NOT accurate under Nevada law. Nevada does not provide borrowers with a post-sale statutory redemption right after a non-judicial trustee's sale under NRS Chapter 107. Once the trustee's sale is completed and the trustee's deed is delivered to the purchaser, the sale is final and the former homeowner has no right to redeem the property by paying the sale price or the debt. This is one of Nevada's most heavily tested and frequently misunderstood rules — candidates familiar with judicial foreclosure states often incorrectly assume a redemption period exists after the sale.

Answer Options
A
Marcus retains a statutory right to redeem the property for up to six months after the trustee's sale is completed by paying the full sale price
B
After the Notice of Trustee's Sale is recorded, the sale must be publicly advertised and conducted as a public auction open to third-party bidders
C
Marcus has the right to reinstate the loan by paying all overdue amounts, fees, and costs before the reinstatement deadline established under NRS 107.080
D
The lender must record a Notice of Default with the county recorder before the non-judicial foreclosure process can formally begin
