Most foreclosures in Massachusetts are nonjudicial, which means the lender does not have to go to court to sell your house. It must, however, offer you with specific notifications along the route. If you lose your house in foreclosure, the mortgage lender may bring a second case against you to recover a “deficiency” (the difference between the sale proceeds and what you owe on the mortgage).
