(b) (1) Except as provided in subdivision (c), before any sale
of property can be made under the power of sale contained in any
deed of trust or mortgage, or any resale resulting from a rescission
for a failure of consideration pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section
2924h, notice of the sale thereof shall be given by posting a written
notice of the time of sale and of the street address and the specific
place at the street address where the sale will be held, and
describing the property to be sold, at least 20 days before the date
of sale in one public place in the city where the property is to be

once a week for three consecutive calendar weeks.

(2) The first publication to be at least 20 days before the date

in which the property or some part thereof is situated, if any part

the most recent federal decennial census published by the Bureau
of the Census. begin insert For the purposes of this section, publication of
notice in a public notice district is governed by Chapter 1.1
(commencing with Section 6080) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the
Government Code. end insert

(3) A copy of the notice of sale shall also be posted in a
conspicuous place on the property to be sold at least 20 days before
the date of sale, where possible and where not restricted for any
reason. If the property is a single-family residence the posting shall
be on a door of the residence, but, if not possible or restricted, then
the notice shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the property;
however, if access is denied because a common entrance to the
property is restricted by a guard gate or similar impediment, the
property may be posted at that guard gate or similar impediment
to any development community.

(4) The notice of sale shall conform to the minimum
requirements of Section 6043 of the Government Code and be
recorded with the county recorder of the county in which the
property or some part thereof is situated at least 20 days prior to
the date of sale.

(5) The notice of sale shall contain the name, street address in
this state, which may reflect an agent of the trustee, and either a
toll-free telephone number or telephone number in this state of the
trustee, and the name of the original trustor, and also shall contain
the statement required by paragraph (3) of subdivision (c). In
addition to any other description of the property, the notice shall
describe the property by giving its street address, if any, or other
common designation, if any, and a county assessor’s parcel

designation, the notice shall contain a legal description of the
property, the name and address of the beneficiary at whose request
the sale is to be conducted, and a statement that directions may be
obtained pursuant to a written request submitted to the beneficiary
within 10 days from the first publication of the notice. Directions
shall be deemed reasonably sufficient to locate the property if
information as to the location of the property is given by reference
to the direction and approximate distance from the nearest
crossroads, frontage road, or access road. If a legal description or
a county assessor’s parcel number and either a street address or
another common designation of the property is given, the validity
of the notice and the validity of the sale shall not be affected by
the fact that the street address, other common designation, name
and address of the beneficiary, or the directions obtained therefrom
are erroneous or that the street address, other common designation,
name and address of the beneficiary, or directions obtained
therefrom are omitted.

(6) The term “newspaper of general circulation,” as used in this
section, has the same meaning as defined in Article 1 (commencing
with Section 6000) of Chapter 1 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the
Government Code.

(7) The notice of sale shall contain a statement of the total
amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the
property to be sold and reasonably estimated costs, expenses,
advances at the time of the initial publication of the notice of sale,
and, if republished pursuant to a cancellation of a cash equivalent
pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 2924h, a reference of that
fact; provided, that the trustee shall incur no liability for any good
faith error in stating the proper amount, including any amount
provided in good faith by or on behalf of the beneficiary. An
inaccurate statement of this amount shall not affect the validity of
any sale to a bona fide purchaser for value, nor shall the failure to
post the notice of sale on a door as provided by this subdivision
affect the validity of any sale to a bona fide purchaser for value.

(8) (A) On and after April 1, 2012, if the deed of trust or
mortgage containing a power of sale is secured by real property
containing from one to four single-family residences, the notice
of sale shall contain substantially the following language, in
addition to the language required pursuant to paragraphs (1) to (7),
inclusive:

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering
bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are
risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding
on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear
ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien
being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest
bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate
the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist
on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a
title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of these resources, you
should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on
this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that
information about trustee sale postponements be made available
to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the
sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been
postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for
the sale of this property, you may call [telephone number for
information regarding the trustee’s sale] or visit this Internet Web
site [Internet Web site address for information regarding the sale
of this property], using the file number assigned to this case [case
file number]. Information about postponements that are very short
in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may
not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on
the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement
information is to attend the scheduled sale.

(B) A mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or authorized agent shall
make a good faith effort to provide up-to-date information
regarding sale dates and postponements to persons who wish this
information. This information shall be made available free of
charge. It may be made available via an Internet Web site, a
telephone recording that is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days
a week, or through any other means that allows 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, no-cost access to updated information. A
disruption of any of these methods of providing sale date and
postponement information to allow for reasonable maintenance or
due to a service outage shall not be deemed to be a violation of
the good faith standard.

(C) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), nothing in the
wording of the notices required by subparagraph (A) is intended
to modify or create any substantive rights or obligations for any
person providing, or specified in, either of the required notices.
Failure to comply with subparagraph (A) or (B) shall not invalidate
any sale that would otherwise be valid under Section 2924f.

(D) Information provided pursuant to subparagraph (A) does
not constitute the public declaration required by subdivision (d)
of Section 2924g.

(9) If the sale of the property is to be a unified sale as provided
in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section
9604 of the Commercial Code, the notice of sale shall also contain
a description of the personal property or fixtures to be sold. In the
case where it is contemplated that all of the personal property or
fixtures are to be sold, the description in the notice of the personal
property or fixtures shall be sufficient if it is the same as the
description of the personal property or fixtures contained in the
agreement creating the security interest in or encumbrance on the
personal property or fixtures or the filed financing statement
relating to the personal property or fixtures. In all other cases, the
description in the notice shall be sufficient if it would be a
sufficient description of the personal property or fixtures under
Section 9108 of the Commercial Code. Inclusion of a reference to
or a description of personal property or fixtures in a notice of sale
hereunder shall not constitute an election by the secured party to
conduct a unified sale pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph
(1) of subdivision (a) of Section 9604 of the Commercial Code,
shall not obligate the secured party to conduct a unified sale
pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (a)
of Section 9604 of the Commercial Code, and in no way shall
render defective or noncomplying either that notice or a sale
pursuant to that notice by reason of the fact that the sale includes
none or less than all of the personal property or fixtures referred
to or described in the notice. This paragraph shall not otherwise
affect the obligations or duties of a secured party under the
Commercial Code.

(c) (1) This subdivision applies only to deeds of trust or
mortgages which contain a power of sale and which are secured
by real property containing a single-family, owner-occupied
residence, where the obligation secured by the deed of trust or
mortgage is contained in a contract for goods or services subject
to the provisions of the Unruh Act (Chapter 1 (commencing with
Section 1801) of Title 2 of Part 4 of Division 3).

(2) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this subdivision,
all other provisions of law relating to the exercise of a power of
sale shall govern the exercise of a power of sale contained in a
deed of trust or mortgage described in paragraph (1).

(3) If any default of the obligation secured by a deed of trust or
mortgage described in paragraph (1) has not been cured within 30
days after the recordation of the notice of default, the trustee or
mortgagee shall mail to the trustor or mortgagor, at his or her last
known address, a copy of the following statement:

 

YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A
,
(Deed of trust or mortgage)
DATED ____. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER.

 

(4) All sales of real property pursuant to a power of sale
contained in any deed of trust or mortgage described in paragraph
(1) shall be held in the county where the residence is located and
shall be made to the person making the highest offer. The trustee
may receive offers during the 10-day period immediately prior to
the date of sale and if any offer is accepted in writing by both the
trustor or mortgagor and the beneficiary or mortgagee prior to the
time set for sale, the sale shall be postponed to a date certain and
prior to which the property may be conveyed by the trustor to the
person making the offer according to its terms. The offer is
revocable until accepted. The performance of the offer, following
acceptance, according to its terms, by a conveyance of the property
to the offeror, shall operate to terminate any further proceeding
under the notice of sale and it shall be deemed revoked.

(5) In addition to the trustee fee pursuant to Section 2924c, the
trustee or mortgagee pursuant to a deed of trust or mortgage subject
to this subdivision shall be entitled to charge an additional fee of
fifty dollars ($50).

(6) This subdivision applies only to property on which notices
of default were filed on or after the effective date of this
subdivision.

(d) With respect to residential real property containing no more
than four dwelling units, a separate document containing a
summary of the notice of sale information in English and the
languages described in Section 1632 shall be attached to the notice
of sale provided to the mortgagor or trustor pursuant to Section
2923.3.
