RALEIGH, N.C. -- (Business Wire)
The
North Carolina Lien Agent System (LiensNC), https://apps.liensnc.com,
was recently honored with an Outstanding Achievement Award by the
Interactive Media Council, Inc. LiensNC
was specifically recognized for excellence in Real Estate websites. The
honor is presented to entries that excel in design, usability, content,
standards compliance and innovation in technical features.
“With all the work so many people have contributed to this project, I’m
not surprised LiensNC
received this recognition,” said Executive Board President of LiensNC,
LLC Steve Brown during a recent meeting. Brown is also Vice President
and Title Attorney with Investors Title Insurance Company. “We’re
beginning to paint a clearer picture of the tremendous value this
ground-breaking technology brings to North Carolina and to the
industries affected by potential mechanics’ and materialmen’s claims.”
Established by changes to the lien law in North Carolina by the NC
General Assembly in 2012, the LiensNC
website is a collaborative effort of the major title insurance
underwriters in the state, created specifically to facilitate the filing
of appointments and notices to the North Carolina mechanics’ lien
agents. The legislation was enacted to address the so-called 'hidden
lien' problem associated with construction projects. Existing mechanics'
lien law had no mechanism for potential lien claimants to make known
their participation in a project. Consequently, purchasers, lenders and
closing attorneys would be unable to determine who had worked on a
construction project and were entitled to be paid – often until long
after closing. LiensNC
allows potential lien claimants to give notice they are working on a
project, thus giving closing attorneys, lenders and purchasers the
ability to address those known potential lien claimants at closing.
“NIC is honored to accept this prestigious award,” said LiensNC Director
of Operations Kim Tanner. “Since launching the North
Carolina Lien Agent system, we’ve received priceless feedback from
users with varied technical experience, which has improved our ability
to provide a transparent platform for our various consumers. Listening
to our users’ needs, we are committed to providing new technologies that
reduce costs and improve consumer services.”
