I assume you mean that the defendant is trying to sell his house in Florida for purposes of this answer.A judgment lien does not attach to the homestead real property of the defendant. However, if the defendant has moved out of state then the house may no longer be his homestead real property and the judgment lien would therefore attach to the property. A certified copy of the judgment lien containing your mailing address must be recorded in the county where the property is located. Your lien is subordinate to any existing mortgages or other liens which have been already filed of record.
