I had this happen about six years ago. I just played nice guy and asked the homeowner when he was closing on his nice new house. He replied wednesday of next week. So I replied "well I havent been paid for my final draw, so they'll be a lien waiting for you at the lawyers office instead if closing papers". The customers jaw hit the floor and within a hour the elusive GC was tracking me down to settle up.
