In most cases a judgment holder can encumber a primary residence with a lien to the extent of the amount of the lien and/or non exempted amount of the property.

Generally the homestead exemption protects the property from a forced sale for the debt owed. In addition there are several US states that do not allow the forced sale of a primary residence to satisfy a judgment creditor.

Please do not confuse a judgment lien with foreclosure procedures, they are two entirely different matters.

Can a debt collector have the right to harass you at work?

A debt collector has no right to "harass" you at all. They do have the right (not withstanding some state's specific laws) to contact you at your place of employment in an attempt to collect the debt. You do have the right to request they do not call your place of employment and they have to abide by the law. Research the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) for further information.
