The biggest problem today is that the loans have been sold to "investors"/dupes around the world. The loan servicer often cannot act to sell the collateral without the specific approval of the loan owner - it depends on the servicing contract. The loan owners rights certainly cannot be restricted retroactively.

The $417k limit for a conforming loan in California is enough to buy a studio apartment, or perhaps a one bedroom in Los Angeles - or maybe a small home in rural California. These foreclosures can be handled by Fannie Mae.

Everything else is a jumbo loan and has been sold to parties who are not likely to feel comfortable relying exclusively on the advice of a real estate salesperson thousands of miles away in a foreign country.

As for the servicing lender, the longer the process runs, the more fees they collect. Delays will not place them in any financial distress.
