The Massachusetts Appeals Court has held that nonjudicial foreclosures must be conducted in a fair manner and that the burdens on the party who is foreclosing are greater precisely because the auction sale is not be supervised or conducted by judicial officials. Prop. Acquisition Group, LLC v. Ivester, 2019 Mass. App. LEXIS 44, 2019 WL 1716436 (Mass. App. Ct. 2019) held that the owner cannot be evicted from the property after foreclosure when the mortgagee failed in its duty of good faith and reasonable diligence by taking no steps before foreclosure to determine the fair market value of the property. "The mortgagee must get for the property as much as it can reasonably be made to bring and do what a reasonable person would be expected to do to accomplish that result…Where Massachusetts…allows foreclosure without judicial oversight, it is imperative that the foreclosing mortgagee know or ensure that efforts are taken to ascertain the value of the property prior to sale in order to protect the interests of the mortgagor."
