Yes. However, any lienholder who forecloses needs to make sure that earlier "priority" liens get paid off first. So if for example someone had a purchase mortgage and then another lien against the same property, the second lienholder could force a sale but they'd have to pay off the purchase mortgage first.

While the above is not legal advice I do hope that it helps answer your question.
