St. Joseph In Big Demand For NJ Homeowners

September 26th, 2007 Categories: Seller Secrets


Lately we have been having some beautiful weather so I decided to tag along as Sarah went on a listing appointment in the Monmouth County area. It was a sunny day and I could roam free in the front yard, no big deal, right?….WRONG!

A small stick poking through the earth in the front yard of the house caught my attention. Was there a Bone buried under there? How lucky can a dog be? I vigorously began to dig deeper when I felt a tug on my leash. I had been caught in the act! Sarah and the homeowner chuckled at my dirt filled snout. The bone in mouth had obviously given me away.

The homeowner proceeded to tell Sarah that what I had unearthed was not a bone which I kind of knew after the first bite but anyway, what I had 189785_statueuncovered was a statue of St. Joseph.

The homeowner was preparing her home to sell by seeking help from some divine intervention.

The homeowner had been told by a friend that burying St. Joseph upside down in the yard would help bring a quick offer.

This is not such a far-fetched idea as some may think, although the act of burying a statue of a saint for a home sale would most likely be viewed as superstitious to most, the idea began hundreds of years ago in Europe when Nuns prayed to St. Joseph when land to build convents was scarce. They would bury their St. Joseph medals in the ground which in today’s age have turned into statue’s.

Real Estate agents often hear of this tradition but whether it works or doesn’t only home sellers can say. As for this client, she has a spot of honor waiting for St. Joseph in her new home.

    Tyler is such a cuttie.

    St. Joseph or whatever…anything to help sell a house is A-OK in my book!! I’ve used him.

    I have never used him but I think I might give him a try.

    It seems as though everyone knew about this but me : )

    I agree though, anything that will help, right?

    Thanks for visiting.
