If you are a guarantor of a loan obligation secured by the Deed of Trust, please be aware that you may be liable for a deficiency judgment to the extent that the sale price obtained at the trustee's sale is less than the debt secured by the Deed of Trust. A guarantor has the same rights to reinstate the debt, cure the default, or repay the debt as is given to the grantors in order to avoid the trustee's sale. A guarantor has no right to redeem the property after the trustee's sale. Subject to such longer periods as are provided in RCW Chapter 61.24, any action brought to enforce a guaranty must be commenced within one year after the trustee's sale, or the last trustee's sale under any Deed of Trust granted to secure the same debt. In any action for a deficiency, the guarantor will have the right to establish the fair value of the property as of the date of the trustee's sale, less prior liens and encumbrances, and to limit the guarantor's liability for a deficiency to the difference between the debt and the greater of such fair value or the sale price paid at the trustee's sale, plus interest and costs. This is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. DATED this 5th day of April, 2016 TRUSTEE: CARL J.
