Although the parties are not in a court room, the whole process is a legally and court sanctioned one, and at the point of eviction, after the redemption period runs, the foreclosing party does go to court to execute the eviction in the same way as with the eviction of a renter. It's just not summary process, i.e. not faster than normal.

In most states, foreclosure takes place without the benefit of ANY
court process. In California, it is essentially 3 months (notice of
default) + 3 weeks (before the notice of sale). After the notice of
sale takes place then (in most states) eviction proceedings can be
started if the old owner remains in place.
(Often times, the buyers leave long before the eviction process starts and the house stays empty for a long time - leaving the opportunity of adverse possession.) SR
