Does burying a Saint Joseph Statue really HELP you sell your home?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Godzyk Real Estate Services NH License 033394

Do you want a FAST Home Sale? A lot of Home Sellers will tell you to bury a SAINT JOSEPH HOME SELLER KIT in your yard. Now as a Listing Agent, I always want to think it is my assistance that helps sell a home. Pricing the home right, educating the seller what to expect, setting up a incredible marketing program and of course my experience attracting buyers.

 

I recently sold a home in less than a week. I did all the things I usually do. Mrs. Seller at the closing, who said she is not overly religious, listened to the ladies at the hair salon. First in hiring me and then in purchasing the SAINT JOSEPH HOME SELLER KIT

 

 

She was not sure if it would work. She purchased it for $5.40 and got it with free 2 day shipping from Prime. She followed the directions in the attached card and sure enough we sold the house.

 

The Buyer Agent on this Manchester NH. area home, laughed. But the Buyer quickly hushed her saying they used this to sell their home in order to move to New Hampshire.

 

The seller went on to say using the statue was part of a well thought out plan on who they chose to list (ME), on their faith in the statue and you better believe they would use the same recipe again.

 

 

I leave you with my infamous saying. There is a difference from agent to agent.  That a Buyer or Seller should not choose just any agent, choose the BEST agent for the job. Choose a better agent for better results.

 

My philosophy is simple, provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. Those that hire me, find a dedication like no other.

Hi Scott Godzyk .  Whatever makes them feel good.  But using the St. Joseph statue without you as the agent would be like a peanut butter sandwich without jelly.  It just doesn't work!

Every once in awhile I work with a seller who has heard this story, and buried one.  I have been amazed at the number of successful sales that have come in those instances.  Sometimes they do seem like small miracles.

Hi Scott Godzyk, back in 2004, when the market wasn't doing that well in my area, one of my seller clients wanted me to get her the St Joseph statue, couldn't find it online, they were back ordered, church store didn't have any, drove about an hour to another church to get it. Did it work? Well, the house sold.

HI Scott Godzyk - I admit to burying one for my own home and it sold back when homes were not selling.  I would not arbitrarily do it for any seller. That is up to them!

BTW - I dug it up and cleaned it off and brought it to Sedona! It sits on a display shelf!

Hi Scott... I have a couple of clients who swear it was what sold their home when it wasn't moving.

Hi Scott

Great story about the St. Joseph statue, but of course we know the real reason was you, your recommendations, and everyone done right to make it happen.

I did have one seller a few years back who buried a statue months after listing when the home was not selling...and it was a quiet market...and a week later we were in escrow!
