What is LienFinder?
Why You Need LienFinder™ – Because Not Having it is a Risk You Can’t Take
Reduce Your Risk
- Research project and party information – know your customer
- Review mechanic’s lien activity for potential payment issues
- React to red flags timely, through automated project and party activity alerts
A Search with No Results is Still a Result
Breathe easier with no results. If a search for a party or project yields no lien results, it is likely that party or project is not in any financial distress. But don’t look once and never look back! Set that search on docuLERT™ to be notified as soon as liens are filed.
Bank statements and credit reports provide dollars & cents. LienFinder™ provides insight.
What You Can Do With LienFinder™
Search Flexibility: Search by as much or as little criteria as desired. There is immense search flexibility within LienFinder ™. Virtually every field from party name to document type is searchable, with the ability to cross reference party and project fields.
Document Images: View copies of the recorded documents in real time, for free. When document images are available you have access to a level of great detail, which could even include the full legal description of a property. If a document image is not available, you can easily request NCS to obtain a copy for you for a small fee.
65% of the projects in LienFinder™ include a free image of the actual recorded document.
Unlimited Saved Searches: Save time by saving your common, or even uncommon, searches – as many as you want for as long as you want. Why waste your most valuable resource, time, by entering search parameters every time you log in to LienFinder™? Automate the overwhelming task of monitoring mechanic’s lien risks associated with your contractual chain.
Mechanic’s Lien Alert: When managing your projects through NCS Online Services within Account Management, the Mechanic’s Lien Alert button will alert you to potential risks. You can easily view additional projects with the same debtor, to better calculate the potential impact on your claims. There could be other lien filings on your project or your debtor could be involved in lien filings that tie up money that belongs to you! Learn more
My Debtor Alert: When viewing the project detail for a specific LienFinder™ entry, the My Debtor Alert button may appear. The button appears when a party within the ladder of supply of the LienFinder™ entry reasonably matches a debtor in the user’s active Construction Services Group projects in NCS Online Services. The button will appear as long as the user has an active project, with a debtor matching a document filing in LienFinder ™. Learn more
