Washington Order Directing Sale of Real Property is an order issued by a court in the state of Washington that orders the sale of a parcel of real property. This order is typically issued when a property owner fails to pay the mortgage loan on a piece of real estate. The order is also known as a Writ of Execution, and it typically directs a county sheriff or other law enforcement officer to conduct a public auction of the subject property in order to satisfy the loan debt. There are two types of Washington Order Directing Sale of Real Property: Judicial Foreclosure Order and Nonjudicial Foreclosure Order. Judicial Foreclosure Order is a court-ordered sale of a property that typically occurs when a homeowner fails to make mortgage payments and the lender takes legal action to recover its losses. Nonjudicial Foreclosure Order is a court-ordered sale of a property that typically occurs when a homeowner fails to make mortgage payments and the lender takes legal action to recover its losses without going through the court system.
