julesberry Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'm wondering if anyone here has ever resorted to burying a St. Joseph Statue to help sell their home. Well, did it work?My condo has been on the market for almost 3 months and the continual cleaning for showings is driving me insane not to mention my boyfriend.Or if you have any other suggestions, I'm open.Thanks for your help!

TOMMY TUNES Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yes . Me. Worked like a charm. Members of my family do it. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marie Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Some friends of mine resorted to burying a St. Joseph statue in their backyard. Their house sold within two weeks. I say give it a shot. I have never done it but I understand there is a particular way it supposed to be buried, right side up, upside down, I can't recall. I think the statues come with directions. It's kind of funny. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneG Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Does it work if you're not Catholic? Hang in there Julesberry - 3 months is not a long time and you're getting showings.I think saying a prayer and setting a realistic price is a better signal to the market than burying a statue.Best go duck that lightning about to strike..Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneG Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Julesberry - Our house is on the market, as well as a friend's. I'll give this a shot if you do - -could be an interesting experiment if we all try this!Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesberry Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 We're already burning incense and chanting to Ganesha, the Hindu God of Success and Remover of Obstacles. So far the only thing he has told us is to remove the rock n roll art from the walls. Hide the guitar and bring out the sitar.I've called around town trying to find a St. Joseph's statue and everyone is sold out. Hmmmm, lots of people believe in this. So I've placed my order at www.saintjosephstatue.com Anne, it couldn't hurt. Why not, let's go for it.P.S. And if it worked for Tommy............

raspberrywine Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Better go with Joe McCarthy or Joseph Stalin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesberry Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Actually I may bury my boyfriend if he keeps leaving banana peels and his underwear lying around.I believe it's head first, feet to heaven, facing the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneG Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Julesberry - Ordered mine. A good friend also joined us, so it's going to be a lot of fun knowing we're all in this together.I think it's head first, facing the house IF it's buried in the back yard. If it's in the front yard, then it should be facing the street.(I'm sure the statue will come with instructions!)Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesberry Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 I have a good feeling about this, especially in numbers! I'm ready to call 2 Men and a Truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
