Owner Liens

What is Owner Liens?

Owner liens are recorded against the individual, not just the property. These liens—such as IRS tax liens, child/spousal support liens, or civil judgments—can still impact their ability to refinance, sell, or transfer property because title can’t be cleared without resolving the lien. This creates motivation to sell when cash flow is tight.

The Right Audience

Owners with recorded liens against them, such as federal/state tax liens, judgments, or spousal/child support liens. These sellers often prioritize privacy and speed over maximizing price.

Outreach Channels

Phone outreach is highly effective since these sellers value discretion. Direct mail can work if phrased carefully (avoiding lien references). Email provides a quiet|private way to engage. Avoid public-facing tactics like online ads that risk exposing personal issues.
