How much does it cost? Are Trustee Fees regulated by statute?
A maximum fee of 1% of the principal amount due on the loan (plus costs) is allowed by statute. However, our fees are negotiable. Please contact us for a quote. We typically require a deposit of 1/3 of the amount on recording the Notice of Default, 1/3 on recording the Notice of Trustee Sale and the final 1/3 on conducting the Trustee Sale. In addition, there are costs incurred of title, mailing, posting the property and publication of notices. These fees vary and are typically between $500 - $1,500, depending on the amount of the note and required mailings. These fees are all chargeable to the borrower. If they reinstate the loan or payoff the loan our fees are included so you are reimbursed.
