Let St. Joseph Help You Sell Your Home!

According to a somewhat urban legend, he can do just that!

It is said that if a person takes a small statue of St. Joseph and buries it upside-down, facing the street and near the for-sale sign, that a much faster sales transaction will occur. Who says this? Well, thousands of homeowners and real estate agents have utilized these statues as a marketing aid. The phenomena has been written up in The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Salt Lake Tribune, the Lincoln Journal-Star, The Chicago Sun-Times and the Patriot Ledger (Quincy MA), to name just a few publications.

Many folks are of the opinion that St. Joseph, who is the Catholic Church's patron saint of carpenters and other manual workers, can help facilitate real estate sales transactions. They claim that burying a St. Joseph statue has helped them sell a house. Many real estate agents keep boxes of such statues on hand to help them in their business. Since it doesn't seem to make a difference what size statue is used, small plastic statues are generally found to be less costly and ever-so-much lighter than the concrete versions found in garden shops.

We are offering a St. Joseph Kit for $12.95 (plus shipping). It includes a 3-1/2" plastic figurine of St. Joseph, a waterproof plastic bag to use when you bury the statue in front of your house, a special prayer to read while burying the statue (over 1900 years old!), and a set of instructions. Since it is a common practice to dig up the statue after the house is sold, so that you can place St. Joseph in a place of honor in your new home, the plastic bag is supplied to keep the statue clean and dry.

Turn this to this

Can we guarantee that St. Joseph will help you sell your house? Certainly not, since there are no guarantees with an act of faith. And that's a very important concept that you should understand. Catholic Archbishop Daniel Sheehan, while discussing the St. Joseph phenomenon, has pointed out that although the Catholic Church encourages devotion to the saints, and does not mind appeals for divine intervention, he believes that the church would frown on having folks try this believing that it was a superstition and not an act of faith.

If you would like to give this act of faith a try, mail us your check or money order for $12.95 plus $3.00 each for postage/handling, and we'll wisk a St. Joseph Kit directly to you. Order 3 or more at one time and we'll pay the shipping charges! Quantity discounts are available for real estate agents or others wishing to purchase the statues in quantities of 12 or more!

And a St. Joseph statue makes a wonderful gift for that friend or family member that is preparing to have an adventure in moving. Include a personal note with your payment and we'll mail a St. Joseph statue directly to the person whose address you provide. They will be pleased and surprised by your thoughtfulness!
