Do you have liens on your Commack NY house and need to sell?
Liens are never fun.  They can come in many forms including a tax lien, a medical lien or even a mechanical lien for work that contractors did on your home.  If you're planning to live in your house for a while, the lien doesn't effect you.
 
But, as soon as you want to sell, or even refinance, you need to pay that lien off before you sell.  And, of course, the cost of the lien increases over time with interest and other fees (and yes, sometimes the rates can be high and are certainly higher than regular interest rates.
 
As I mentioned when it comes time to sell your house, you need to have those liens paid off...otherwise title won't clear...and your house won't sell (even if you have a buyer and a written contract).
 
Of course when most people have liens on their home, there are other issues (e.g. behind on mortgage payments or house needs other repair).
 
So what does one do if they have a lien they can't pay...and they want to sell the house...but can't sell the house until the lien is paid...and they won't have the money until the house sells (sounds like a chicken and egg scenario, right?).
 
Well one ... more
