A homeowner in Bellevue, Washington defaults on his loan. His lender wants to foreclose using Washington's standard foreclosure process. Which of the following best describes what will happen?

Correct Answer

D) The trustee will conduct a non-judicial trustee's sale under the Deed of Trust Act

Washington uses non-judicial foreclosure through a trustee's sale as its standard process under RCW Chapter 61.24. Because deeds of trust are used instead of mortgages, the trustee — not a court — conducts the foreclosure sale. This process does not require court involvement, making it faster and less expensive than judicial foreclosure.

Answer Options
A
The lender will file a deficiency judgment first, then proceed to a sheriff's sale
B
The county sheriff will conduct a public auction after a court judgment is entered
C
The lender will file a lawsuit in superior court to obtain a judicial foreclosure decree
D
The trustee will conduct a non-judicial trustee's sale under the Deed of Trust Act
