St. Joseph Performs Miracles for Home Sellers

With home prices dropping by double digits in some markets and inventories of unsold properties rising, desperate sellers are pulling out all the stops to give themselves an edge.  But forget about that fresh coat of paint, stainless steel appliances or baking fresh cookies to fill the house with an inviting aroma.  In these troubled times, help is available from on high in the form of St. Joseph, the patron saint of carpenters, families and home sellers.

For those readers who didn't go to Notre Dame or Georgetown, Joseph was the husband of Mary and foster father to Jesus himself, teaching him the ins and outs of the carpentry biz.  No one knows for sure how Joseph became the go-to guy to help home sellers.  What we do know is that thousands of real estate agents and their clients swear by the results they've seen.

Unfortunately, with so many unsold homes on the market, St. Joseph is very much in demand and offering up just a casual prayer simply won't do.  One must perform the full invocation, which also consists of burying a statuette of the saint on the property.  Since there is no official Vatican-approved ceremony for a speedy St. Joseph-assisted closing, arguments exist regarding important details such as burial in the front lawn vs. back lawn or face-up vs. face-down.

If you're selling a home and could use a little divine intervention, don't fret; you're not without facilitators. Several websites have cropped up to sell you everything you'll need.  So get going today and make it one less for sale sign on your block.

My family still buries St. Joseph...(I believe upside down).

"No one knows for sure how Joseph became the go-to guy to help home sellers."

St. Joseph is the Patron Saint of Families. Many families are split when they are selling a home.

Faithful Catholics pray for St Joseph's intercessions to "reunite" the family with a successful home sale.

There is no official "ceremony" for St. Joseph- just pray for a successful home sale... and have Faith.
