Ca civil code amended section 2924f states that 10 days prior to an auction sale offers can be made and accepted = SALE REVOKED

You need to read the entire paragraph 2924f(c)(4) carefully. Particularly this language: "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." Borrowers do not have redemption rights in a non-judicial foreclosure in CA. Borrowers can tender the amount demanded to cure the default 5 days before the sale and reinstate the loan. In practice, most lenders will accept a tender and reinstatement up until the day before the sale. The quoted language allows the lender and borrower to agree in writing to a sale or conveyance of the property to a third party and if they have agreed, requires the trustee to postpone the sale or conveyance so it can be consummated according to its terms. It is not a sale or conveyance without notice to the borrower because the borrower must agree to it in writing. The sale is only revoked, by additional language in the statute, once there has been an offer, acceptance, and conveyance.

Transferring title to your property to a third party in an effort to stop the trustee sale will not work. If the lender has properly noticed the sale, it can legally go forward regardless of who you cloud title with. Some lenders, however, will postpone the sale to try to determine what is going on. Good luck.
