West Virginia is a non-judicial foreclosure state. A trustee's sale under a deed of trust commonly completes in roughly 60 to 90 days, with no court involvement. West Virginia provides no statutory post-sale redemption; the trustee's deed is final. Because a lender absorbs carrying cost and risk for that entire period, a cash note sale today often beats carrying the credit through foreclosure.
West Virginia lending runs on deeds of trust with a power of sale: after default, the trustee publishes the notice of sale (commonly two to four weeks, per the instrument), mails notice to the borrower and junior lienholders at least 20 days before the sale, and sells at the courthouse. Publication and cure mechanics are largely governed by the deed of trust itself, so the instrument's specific terms should be reviewed on each file. Speed and finality keep carry minimal.

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.
