Order Judgement and Decree for Sale of Real Property in DC?

I came across a property that met several requirements i have for purchase. In checking it out it became apparent it went into default in 2007. I found the case online at DC Superior Court and last month a judge filed the order approving the lender's request for judgement and decree for sale of real property.

I am under the impression that with that order the lender can proceed to force the auction of the property.

Never having worked this niche before, but having a very high interest in this particular property, I am not sure if there is any ability to reach out to the lender prior to the auction or how I can make sure to track the auction date/time etc. if I decide to attend and bid on the property.  Any local DC insight would be helpful and appreciated, I am also out of the DC area for at least a couple of weeks so will be having to work this remotely until i return.  thanks
