St Joseph got his act together at last!

I never thought it would take this long! When I took this listing in my development at Big Elk I thought this beautiful home would fly away.  But, last year was weird, with many listings just sitting. When I sold another listing in three days and the owner told me she had buried a St. Joseph figurine I felt I had to try the same for this client. Well, it didn't happen the way I had hoped, it still took a while longer, but we did get increased showings, and very positive feedback. And at last we went under contract, nothing came up on the inspections so we are now Pending with settlement set for the end of the month.
