And it’s in the judicial foreclosure states that almost universally provide a redemption period to the losing homeowner to get her home back after the foreclosure auction. Generally the mechanism is that the winning bidder at the foreclosure auction doesn’t get marketable title until the redemption period has tolled. Once that point is reached the certificate for title is exchanged for a marketable warranty deed to the property. So prior to having the title to the property I don’t think you could pursue any eviction action to acquire possession since the owner may actually redeem within the time period set.
