St. Joseph Home Sale Practice

We are closing on our house today, so maybe I should wait to write this. :) Anyway, I'm Catholic and I've always believed in the power of the saints to pull a few strings for us. We placed our house on the market six weeks ago. Within a week we had a "verbal offer" which of course means nothing. Those people jerked us around for a few weeks and our realtor kept telling us they would buy. At that point, I didn't even want them to have my house and I started praying to St. Joseph to please help put the right people in our beloved home. I didn't have the statue but placed an order for one. I continued praying and an contract was placed by the couple who had been so obnoxious. At that point, I assumed my prayers had been answered but I still felt uneasy about them. Between the time I signed the contract and my husband did, we GOT ANOTHER CONTRACT. For ten thousand more, waiving a home inspection, closing in four days, PAYING CASH.All of this happened within less than a week of me asking St. Joseph to intervene. Ironically, the statue arrived a day later. I didn't bury him or take him to the property as we are already in our new home. Instead, I put the statue on my kitchen counter.As a Catholic, I feel this is the most important part of my story. I believe in the power of prayer, and I believe in the importance of the saints. The whole St. Joseph concept is not about burying a plastic statue in a yard and hoping hocus-pocus will bring about a miracle. Get your property clean and well-manicured and set a fair price. Believe in the power of prayer. And best wishes to all of you. :)

If this is not working for you, MOVE IT!I received this and buried it in my backyard, upside down facing the house. I prayed every day and even started the Novenas I looked up on Google. I prayed several times a day. The day I buried it I had no showings for 2 days even though I’ve had consistent daily showings. What was going on?! I waited a few days and then just “felt” like I had to bury St Joseph in the front yard instead. This was a Tuesday. So I dug him up and had my husband bury him in the front yard, upside down underneath the for sale sign and facing the house. About 30 minutes later, we had a cancelled showing. Then no showings the next day. When I got another cancellation the day after on Thursday, I immediately jumped up and said “St Joseph does not want to be buried.” We dug him up immediately that morning. I placed him in a side table drawer facing my house. I put him in the “helpful people” section of my house according to feng shui, which is the closest right corner from the front door while looking into the house. About an hour later, we had a request for a showing that day. And 2 days later, we got a cash offer on the house and closed in 2.5 weeks. I kid you not! I read many reviews and it’s the general consensus to bury it in the front yard under the for sale sign but in my instance, St Joseph said no. He wanted to be upright inside my house. So for the people who say it doesn’t work, move St Joseph to another location!It really does work! Thank you St Joseph.

My wife and I had been trying to sell our house by ourselves for months. When we built this upscale large house, near a benign creek on 7 acres. We did our due diligence and made sure we were out of a flood zone. Well things change and FEMA told us in 2010 we are now in a flood zone. Selling the house ourselves was becoming more and more difficult to maneuver around the obstacle, so we decided to hire a professional. The realtor agreed that selling the house because of particular zone would be a challenge. Even though in 15 years we had no flooding near the house. After two months of showing the house and hearing the same thing, "I would buy it if it was not in the flood zone, I cant get a mortgage with this encumbrance". We were both getting discouraged that we would never recoup our money we had invested in this behemoth. As in any truly troubling times we all turn to God. I remembered the story of St Joseph from some bit of trivia I had read years ago. I'm not Catholic, nor belong to any organized religion for that matter. I ordered and read they prayer and ask my wife to pray as well. Over the weekend I buried the statue upside down near the for sale sign in our yard. On the following Tuesday I received an email reply from a woman at the DNR I had asked a question the previous week and she told me she had good news. There had been a new study and the house was no longer in a flood zone.!On Thursday at 1pm we were ask to have the house ready to show. On Friday the people that looked at the house had questions about this complex property and wanted to talk to us personally. We sat on the breezy front porch that overlooked the property and talked for 3 hours. We became friends with this fine Catholic family. By the following week we had a signed agreement. We have not closed yet, still a week away but I have faith in the prayer to St. Joseph that this sale will fly and a win/win for all.
