In order to legally lien your house the person must have "something" they can defend in court giving them that right. Most states accept verbal agreements as a contract providing there is enough evidence to support mutually acceptable arrangements. However, generally, a written contract is needed as proof of the debt.
If the person provided materials, labor or services for the improvement and repair of your house then they must (1) meet all state construction lien statute requirements in a timely fashion; (2) show some type of evidence that materials were purchased and either delivered or installed at your house; (3) some type of evidence that labor was provided at your house; (4) that improvement or repair was performed. Construction (or Mechanics) Liens can only be placed for the outstanding balance of work performed. A mechanic's lien has a short statutory life. It must be perfected by a civil suit and if the "mechanic" prevails the court will render a judgment in their favor and then a judgment lien can be recorded against the property.
Any creditor can sue you in court and if successful obtain a judgment lien that can be recorded in the land records. The property cannot be sold or mortgaged until the lien is paid.

If the buyer executed a mortgage in your favor then all you need to do is foreclose on the mortgage and take possession of the property. If the money due to you from the sale is not in the form of a mortgage in your favor then you will have to take your chances suing the new owner in a court of equity for breach of contract.

A contract needs to show the exchange between parties. One person will do work in exchange for money, for example. If the contract merely said that one person will do work, but it makes no mention of what the other person must provide, the contract is probably not valid and not enforceable.

Can I sell a house on contract if I have a loan against it?
Most people have loans against their houses. Such loans are called mortgages. Extremely few people can purchase a house without obtaining a mortgage. You sign a contract to sell a particular house. At that point, after the two of you have agreed to the terms and the money, then that gives the buyer the option to examine the property and check for any loans against the property. When and if the sale goes through, then the mortgage your buyer takes out will pay off the loan you owe. This will happen at closing when you hand over the keys. Closings are usually held in a bank or other business.
