Yes, a lien can be placed against real estate for unpaid debt. Generally, this results in no loss of the real estate, rather impedes the title by having additional liens which need to be cleared by payment prior to sale or transfer by some other means (like a will). Consult a real estate attorney for more specific information.

I would add that it would be a good idea for homeowners to check how their property is titled. And also to be informed of the laws of the resident state concerning such matters. For example, a state which recognizes "tenancy by the entirety" is quite different in real property, than a commnity property state.
