It happened again! I was at the closing table yesterday when a client shared with me that part of the secret to the quick sale ( aside from my marketing savvy!, he said) was St. Joseph. He had buried a St. Joseph stature upside down and it had brought the buyer to his home. This certainly wasn't the first time that this St. Joseph had came to the rescue. This was the fourth time that his family had shared this statue with an 100% success rate. This particular statue had been purchased by a family member at the National Shrine Our Lady of Snows in Il . It has now assisted in closings in 3 different states. On a side note, the buyer had wanted to purchase the home 10 years ago, but lost out to the current owner. The buyer "happened" down the street just days after the for sale sign went up.....
Bobbie Bolain, Waco Title said that she had heard this before. Careful removal of the statue after the sale is recommended. One client accidently broke of the head. Not recommended!
The tradition of burying St. Joesph goes back thousands of years. It is believed that because he is the parton saint of the home and family if you pray to him for help when you are selling your home, he will help by sending buyers to your home.
Where do you bury the Statue? All seems to agree that upside down is best. Backyard flower beds, and near the "For Sale Signs" are popular places.

What is the right spot to bury a St. Joseph statue in order to help your home sell faster? There are a lot of theories. One thing that all of the versions of this tradition agree on is that the statue should be buried upside down. If the statue is buried upside down then the statue will work extra hard to get out of the ground and back into a safe, comfortable home which will make the house sell more quickly. So make sure that you bury the statue of St. Joseph upside down, and once the house has been sold make sure that you dig up the statue and take it with you to your new home so that you can put it in a place of honor to thank St. Joseph for his help in selling your home.
