Selling a house? Some extra LUCK may help!<br />
Everyone knows that success in selling your property depends on many factors,<br />
including choosing the right Real Estate Broker, the condition and location of the<br />
property, and the current market conditions. How your property is presented to<br />
potential buyers is, of course of paramount importance, so how and WHERE your<br />
property is advertised is not to be overlooked!<br />

Some homeowners look for divine intervention to increase their "luck", asking St.<br />
Joseph to assist them in attracting a qualified buyer to their property. This<br />
practice involves "planting" a small St. Joseph statue, upside down, in the front<br />
yard of the home (or in a pot of soil if you live in a condo) while simultaneously<br />
asking for some divine intervention. The statue must also be dug up once the<br />
house sells, and taken with the owner to their new residence where it will be kept<br />
in a place of honor.<br />
Known for his work with wood, St. Joseph is rumored to bring good luck to<br />
anyone who wants to sell their home quickly (and for a good price!) The<br />
tradition goes back to the Middle Ages, when an order of European<br />
nuns supposedly buried a medal of the carpenter-turned-saint on a piece of land<br />
they hoped to acquire. The nuns asked St. Joseph to intervene, and soon<br />
thereafter the land owner agreed to sell them the property. Other stories claim<br />
that German carpenters would bury a statue of St. Joseph in the foundation of<br />
buildings they built, asking the saint to protect the structure.<br />
The tradition of burying a St. Joseph statue to speed up the sale of a home<br />
became popular in the mid-1980's. Many homeowners have credited the success<br />
of their home sale to St. Joseph, and this luck-attracting tradition remains popular<br />
today among Catholics and non-Catholics alike.<br />
Does it work? Many swear by it, including the Catholic priests that I sold a local<br />
rectory for years ago. The home wasn't selling, so one of the priests buried a St.<br />
Joseph statue in the front yard of the home, and within 3 weeks I had the home in<br />
escrow at the asking price. Since then, I always have a statue on hand for any<br />
client that wishes to give it a try!<br />
