Non-Judicial
In a non-judicial foreclosure state, the lender does not need to go through the court system in order to foreclose on a property. This process can be quicker and less expensive for the lender compared to a judicial foreclosure.
Attorneys and title companies handle closings. Conveyance is by warranty deed. Mortgages are the customary security instruments. Foreclosures are non-judicial. Foreclosure notices are published once a week for three weeks on a county-by-county basis. The foreclosure process takes a minimum of 21 days from the date of first publication. After the sale, there is a one-year redemption period. Alabamans use ALTA policies to insure titles. Buyers and sellers negotiate who is going to pay the closing costs and usually split them equally. Property taxes are due and payable annually on October 1st.

YES. Key components of property management are considered a real estate activity under existing Alabama real estate licensing laws. A real estate broker's license is required for any person or company that, for compensation, engages in the lease or rental of real estate in Alabama, who offers real estate for rent or lease, who negotiates the rental or leasing of Alabama real estate or who lists, offers, attempts or agrees to list real estate for rental or lease. A salesperson working under a broker may engage in such activities.
Yes. For example, a real estate license is not required of persons acting as the manager for an apartment building or complex. However, on-site managers of condominium buildings or complexes must be licensed. In addition, if a licensed real estate company takes on the management of an apartment building or complex, the Alabama Real Estate Commission expects compliance with real estate law and rules, including running security deposits, rent and payments for repairs through a trust account. For more information about these and other Alabama property management requirements and exceptions, please contact the Alabama Real Estate Commission. Before hiring a property manager to manage your Alabama rental property, you should always check that he or she is licensed appropriately. You can check the license status of Alabama property managers at The Association of Real Estate License Law Officials website.
There is no requirement that a community association manager in Alabama hold a real estate broker's license. In 2010 the Alabama Real Estate Commission made some efforts to consider licensing for community association managers, but according to the Commission's legal department, those efforts didn't get anywhere.
