Our Approach

At NAR Solutions, Inc. (formerly known as Nebraska Alliance Realty Company), our philosophy is to establish long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with our clients: the local government officials involved in the sale of tax liens assets.  We understand that our clients are faced with a variety of issues related to the disposition and management of tax lien assets including: concerned property owners; adverse press and public relations; foreclosure and property disposition matters; reconciliations of account status and property records; and more.

Of further importance, a core value of NAR Solutions is that all homeowners are treated with respect and dignity.  Our experience has proven that being courteous and completely transparent with the homeowner regarding the tax lien process, status, redemption amounts, and payment options available is simply the best way to do business.
