Home / A lien that has to be enforced
How FALCO helps
Abandoned boats, cars and units. Sold by the book.
Marinas, storage operators, mechanics and towing companies end up holding property nobody comes back for. Tennessee lets you sell it to cover what you are owed, but only when notice and sale are done right. We route it to an auctioneer who treats the paperwork as carefully as the bidding.
Is this you?
Who we help here.
We usually hear about these from published lien sale notices, or a call from you.

How it works
Three steps.
Stop after any one of them. Nothing is owed either way.
Tell us what you're holding
What it is, what is owed, and how long it has been sitting.
Notice done right
The auctioneer runs the statutory notice and publication on the timeline the law sets.
Sell and settle
The sale covers what you are owed. Anything left over is handled the way Tennessee law requires.
What it costs
Nothing to you.
- No listing fee and no commission from your side.
- The buyer pays a 10% premium on top of the winning bid.That is how the auction firm and FALCO are paid.
- If it doesn't sell, you owe nobody anything.
Straight talk
What you should know.
- The timeline is the law'sNotice periods and newspaper publication are set by statute. We don't cut corners on timing.
- Low-value units aren't worth itA unit of household goods doesn't need a specialist. We'll tell you so.
- Title that holds upA clean lien sale is what lets the buyer register the boat or the vehicle. That is what brings real bids.
Common questions
Straight answers.
Can you sell a boat with no title?
Often, through the lien sale process. The auctioneer will tell you up front what the state requires for that vessel.
What does it cost us?
Nothing. No listing fee and no commission from your side. The buyer pays a 10% premium on top of the winning bid. If it doesn't sell, you owe nobody anything.
Next step
Ready when you are.
