St. Joseph’s – The Patron Saint of Home Sellers

It’s said that if you plant a statue of St. Joseph upside down in your front yard it will make your house sell.  I’m not sure why the statue has to go in upside down. Maybe so it can suck your yard’s bad energy in through the top of its head. Or push good the energy out. 

At our last sales meeting we passed around at least half a dozen anecdotes about how placement of the statue made seemingly hopeless properties sell. I’ve actually never heard a story about somebody burying a statue and then NOT having the house sell. Our St. Joseph’s tales are rarely heard about outside of immediate real estate circles—probably because good-news real estate stories are never as interesting as the bad ones.  

I’m not sure where you place a St. Joseph’s statue in a condo or house with no front yard. Maybe in one of those potted plants the stagers bring in.  And then compensate for the lack of a front yard by making sure the plant is placed near the front door, perhaps in your home’s entry.

DiscountCatholicProducts.com and BurySt.Joseph.com both sell St. Joseph Home Sale Kits. The base model, which costs about six dollars includes the statue, directions and prayers.  For a couple of dollars more, they’ll throw in the cloth tote and protective plastic burial bag.

   Hey, Cece

   I’ve heard of this and even have a friend in Washington, DC who tried it. He had this house with a bright kelly-green paint job and his agent kept telling him to repaint it. He just planted the statue instead and got an offer in a week.
