Skeptics may wonder, but I started using St. Joseph statues on my listings about 15 years ago. It has become common practice for my husband, Bob, when he is putting up my signs to bury the statue. We can't tell you for sure that if we'd forgotten the statue the house wouldn't sell, but it certainly seems like the positive thoughts and intention don't hurt.
When I first started buying them, they were hard to locate. Now there are three or four sources. Since I have become a green advocate, I can't tell you how excited I am to put in my order for EcoJoe!

What is EcoJoe? The original (and only) eco-friendly home selling kit!
About six months (or more) ago I had dinner with Cindy Lin of Staged4More.com. While talking about work and other things, she shared her newest project with me. EcoJoe. I had to keep quiet about it all this time. Any guesses how easy that was?!
Cindy’s Mission:
-Change the way real estate industry uses plastic
-Reduce plastic usage
-Reduce amount of plastic being buried into landfills or your backyard!
-Promote green practices
Cindy’s Description:
The practice of burying a St. Joseph statue dates back thousands of years, when he was first called upon to help sell real estate. Today, home sellers and real estate agents continue the tradition to enlist the saint’s assistance in finding a buyer. Sadly, most of the home selling kits on the market are made of plastic and other content that are harmful to the environment. As an eco-conscious real estate home staging professional, I saw this as an opportunity to create a greener alternative. Our sourcing, production, packaging, materials and distribution support green initiatives and social responsibility.
Cindy will be bringing EcoJoe with her to the StagersLIST Expo in Dublin, California on July 15, 2009. Please register and join us at the expo, we have some great sponsors and speakers this year, it is a completely different expo from last year.
I think EcoJoe is a great idea and I'm glad I can finally spread the word about this new product. Great job Cindy Lin!
