Arkansas is a non-judicial foreclosure state. A statutory (non-judicial) trustee's sale can typically complete in roughly four to six months. There is no statutory redemption following a non-judicial sale, and the redemption right that can follow a judicial sale is routinely waived in commercial loan documents. Because a lender absorbs carrying cost and risk for that entire period, a cash note sale today often beats carrying the credit through foreclosure.
Arkansas is a dual-track state; most foreclosures run under the Statutory Foreclosure Act (Ark. Code § 18-50-101 et seq.), which requires a pre-sale appraisal and a minimum bid of two-thirds of appraised value — if the minimum isn't met, the property is re-offered within twelve months with no floor. Judicial foreclosure remains available and is used for complex collateral or title disputes, at the cost of a materially longer timeline.

A note sale transfers the loan to a buyer for cash, removing the timeline, the legal cost, and the risk of ending up as the owner of the property.
