How does Mechanics Lien work?

MinnesotaConstruction Contract

Our company has a signed contract, first and second payments were made per contract. Final payment of $5500 when work was complete was not and she has not responded to email, calls or texts. Can we add court fees to amount we make the lien for? Do we have to wait for her to sell before we get our money?

You should consult with an attorney such as me as it depends on if you have lien rights, and if so you can get legal fees and foreclose on the real estate. If not you many have to wait until she sells but you could get a judgment and an attorney could garnish wages or a bank account.
