How foreclosure works in Maryland
- Type
- Court-supervised. Foreclosures are filed in circuit court even under a power of sale, and the court must ratify the sale; owner-occupied homes can ask for mediation.
- Redemption
- The owner can redeem until the certificate holder gets a court judgment; the holder can usually file to foreclose the right of redemption after six months.
General information, not legal advice. Check the court and the sheriff's office for the sale terms.
Working the list
Check the sale date first. Contact owners before the sale, when they still have choices and equity to protect. After the sale the options shrink. Be clear and respectful; many owners are under stress.
