Judgment creditors prefer to use wage garnishment or bank account levy to execute the judgment writ. If neither of those remedies apply the creditor can seize and liqudate non exempt property belonging to the debtor, or place a lien against real property (jointly owned property can usually be attached by a creditor lien).
