This is a video post about Judicial and Non-Judicial foreclosures in Maryland. Take a moment to watch and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me!
Jonathan, great post. It’s important that consumers (and Realtors alike, I’m shocked at how many don’t know the difference) understand the difference between judicial and non-judicial as it can have severe effects on the title/process.
I think the reason that most real estate agents don’t understand the difference is that they are not attorneys. It really is important to refer clients to a lawyer for advice in a situation like this… I guess just throwing the word ‘judicial” around should be enough of a red flag for folks to understand that this is a “legal” kind of thing.
I have an attorney in Northern Virginia who I refer people to when it is prudent for me to do so and I’m sure you do too, so I recommend that people contact you for the best Maryland referral!
