Which professionals are specifically permitted to seek a mechanic's lien?

  1. Real estate agents

  2. Design professionals such as architects

  3. General contractors only

  4. Landscaping professionals

The correct answer is: Design professionals such as architects

Certain states permit design professionals, such as architects, to seek a mechanic's lien if they have provided professional services for the construction or improvement of a property, and the property owner has not paid for those services. Real estate agents and landscaping professionals are generally not permitted to file a mechanic's lien. Though general contractors may also file a mechanic's lien, they are not the only professionals granted this right. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
