In very broad terms, the judgment creditor can apply to the court for a writ of sale and have the sheriff sell the property at a public auction.

If a deficiency judgment is not available or the creditor waives the right to get a deficiency judgment, then the sheriff gives 120 days notice of levy and 20 days notice of sale. if there is the right to have a deficiency judgment, the sale occurs after 30 days but the owner has a 90-day right of redemption.

Is California a non deficiency state?
My understanding is that you are right and the deficiency judgment cannot be persued after the foreclosure action by the lender that did the foreclosure in California "IF THE LOAN is a PURCHASE MONEY loan (which means the loan was used to purchase the property). However, if the loan is a refinance or a HELOC than the No Deficiency Judgment Rule does not apply. However, if a Short Sale is done instead of a Foreclosure - then the foreclosure action no longer exists and the lenders (non-purchase or purchase) can persue a deficiency judgment. Also - if I understand this correctly - even if the second lender is purchase money - if the 1st forecloses, the second did not - and therefore may be entitled to persue a deficiency judgment.
