   It is the faith that makes this work… not the superstition about which way the statue has to face. This is not voodoo or magic.

   Prayers to St. Joseph have helped many of my sellers. I’m a believer.

   I heard about this activity a long time ago. When I put my house on the market two years ago, I made a promise to St. Joseph that I would never do this to him and would discourage others from doing it. My sign went up Friday afternoon, a knock on the door Saturday, and papers were signed Monday. God bless St. Joe

   I find this all quite humorous yet disturbing. The agnostic part of me finds this to be superstitious hocus pocus. The Christian part of me finds this to be idolatry that has been forbidden since the Old Testament. Either way, sounds kind of stupid.

   What if you don’t have a For Sale sign? They are not allowed in our development.

   I HAVE READ TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS, ONE FOR ST JOSEPH TO BE FACING THE STRET, ANOTHR FOR HIM TO BE FACING THE HOME TO BE SOLD, WHICH IS CORRECT

    My mom told me to put the statue in the ground, just seems wrong to me but I did it.

    I agree with the gent who said, “The agnostic part of me finds this to be superstitious hocus pocus. The Christian part of me finds this to be idolatry that has been forbidden since the Old Testament. Either way, sounds kind of stupid.”

    Anyway, been buried in my yard for over a year. Still haven’t sold my house. She tells me to look up the prayer and say it. I read this bit:

    Saint Joseph, I am going to place you
    in a difficult position
    with your head in darkness
    and you will suffer as our Lord suffered,
    until this [house/property] is sold.

    And I have to say, WTF? For real? St Joseph should be one pissed off saint. “O HAI, Imma torture a statue of you until you do as I say!”

    I have been in the real estate bussiness for 35 years. I have used the Saint JoJoseph Statue more than a dozen times and it has never failed me. I built a home for my mother back in 2001. Mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. My mom was not able to move into the home that I had built for her. I built the home with many ADA features. To my suprise after signing a contract with the new buyer for moms home they explained that they are cancer survivor’s and needed a home built for special needs. He moves in mysterious ways.

    My Sister burried this Saint, and two days later, her neighbor’s, whose house was not listed for sale, sold their house. When the Surveyors came to put in the markers for the property line, she found out she had burried the Statue in the next yard!
    What ever YOU believe, is true.

    I as an Italian, once catholic, non-catholic now. Placed Saint Joseph upside down a few feet from my for sale sign a few years ago(2007) when we had a horrible market and were selling. I had said no prayer. We had two interests in 2 days after burying, being on the market for 5 months, with no luck. One couple took their time before St. Joe. We buried after we planned open house, another couple that visited open house requested an immediate appointment for a private showing the enxt day, and we had our full offer and sold, we made 50% on what we put in (of couse sweat equity had a play. But after we were already under contract, the other couple wanted to make an offer We found another home two weeks later that wasn’t even on the market for one day! Made an offer and we got it!
    I dug up St. Joe, and place him in our new front lawn face up near the street at he end of our driveway. The job market, and unemployment has cause us to face foreclosure on our new home after 3 years but after 6 months we have our home and we have not yet to fight the bank to work with us. I also as tradition place a small cross on the top of the inner door of each entrance and exit visitors enter and exit. But they must exit the door the entered. The cross has a red ribbon over it symbolizing Jesus’ sacrifice.
    There is a Catholic tradition that this keeps evil from entering your home.
    Perhaps St. Joe is a tradition but I do believe it sold our home and found us this home which still is being protected. And if perhaps in this phase, if it stands out to a special buyer and an offers comes in, I’d be willing to sell in a minute! And update those who are skeptics.

    I bought a statue tonight to bury in my yard for a quick sale on my house. I already found the home I want but have to sell this one before I can put an offer in it. I am sweating it out that it waits for me. I know this work. I have read too many testimonials on this tonight.

    I see the question I have, but no response. I do not have a for sale sign up – where do I bury the statue?
