My clients are trying to sell their house.
If my mechanical Lein is active can they sell their house without paying me?

If you have a valid and enforceable lien, and it has not expired or otherwise, then the short and simple answer is no. They have two options: 1) Seek to discharge the lien; or 2) Pay you. Hope this helps.

Any buyer of the property will insist that the mechanic's lien be discharged. Certainly, if the buyer is using a lender or title company, either one would insist that it be discharged by paying you what is owed and obtaining a satisfaction piece from you that will be recorded.
