The broker‘s lien shall be void and unenforceable if filing does not occur within the time and in the manner required by this chapter. A broker’s lien properly asserted against a seller because the seller was obligated to pay the broker, but not filed until after the deed to the buyer is recorded, shall not be a lien against the property.
