Having a hard time selling your home? No showings? No offers? Open Houses not working? Many people think that St. Joseph may be your answer! St. Joseph is said to be the patron saint of real estate and burying a statue of him in your yard may help sell your home.
How its done: Wrap a statue of St. Joseph in a cloth, bury it upside down in your front yard, say a prayer. When your home sells, dig up the statue and place it in your new home.
Does it work? According to this article it does! It says that the House of Hansen in Chicago sells about 30-50 statues a week. According to CNN, Dawn H. had an amazing experience with St. Joseph. She had her home on the market with no luck, buried a statue of St. Joseph, and the next week had 3 offers. According to the same article, ‘Underground Real Estate Agent’ kit sales have grown by 100%.
Why St. Joseph? This article sites St. Joseph as the patron saint of works, but that’s about it. He was a carpenter, and that was about it. I guess the assumption is that he built homes and therefore can help sell them!
How it all started? According to this web site, European nuns would bury St. Joseph metals in the ground of locations they hoped to acquire for convents. Eventually the practice shifted from buying to selling and voila! The St. Joseph statue became folklore in the real estate community.
