Kansas is a judicial foreclosure state. Foreclosure is judicial — commonly around 6 to 12 months from petition to sheriff's sale, plus any redemption period that follows. A statutory redemption period of up to twelve months follows the sale (three months where less than one-third of the debt was paid), but K.S.A. 60-2414 lets commercial borrowers waive or shorten redemption in the mortgage itself — a waiver unavailable for agricultural land and owner-occupied one- to two-family homes. Because a lender absorbs carrying cost and risk for that entire period, a cash note sale today often beats carrying the credit through foreclosure.
All Kansas foreclosures run through the courts to a sheriff's sale with judicial confirmation, and the borrower retains possession during any redemption period, so redemption terms drive the real carry. Whether the loan documents contain a redemption waiver is therefore the single biggest timeline variable on a Kansas commercial credit; deficiency judgments are available.

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.
