Thank you for the opportunity to share my comments. I sold my home in 95 days at full price.
I placed St. Joseph at the front walk way and prayed everyday. I truly feel I was blessed to sell my home; but, I couldn't have asked for a better buyer who really appreciated my home and was very pleasant to do business with.
I still pray to St. Joseph to give him thanks and praise his name.

My husband and I heard about the statue from our neice who was also selling their house. We ordered our statue and then my husband followed the directions and planted the statue. I can't remember the exact date but it was fall 2010. At that time he prayed that we would sell our house in Spring of 2011. When I asked him if he prayed afterwards, he replied yes and then told me that he prayed the house would sell in spring. I was upset at the time because of the poor market. I was wondering why he wouldn't pray just to sell the house as soon as possible. We were in the process of building a home in Beaver Dam and the house would be done in spring of 2011. Well my husbands was right. We sold the house three weeks prior to moving into our new house. We did unbury the statue and he sits proudly on top of our mantle.
Thank you very much.

We buried the St. Joseph statue upon receipt along with a silver St Joseph medallion I had given my husband 51 years ago.
We had a high priced home and it is a very difficult real estate market here in Hawaii. We loved our home but it was just too big for us so I prayed for someone good & special to buy this place we loved so much and for a fair price for all the work we put into the property. We were sent a buyer 2 1/2 months later with all our prayer being answered. His first name was "Joseph".
We were able to buy a Van for our church's Zambia AIDS project and would like to send the Saint Joseph statue to Zambia to be the patron of this van. Would that be permissible? We would buy a larger statue of St. Joseph for our new home in Las Vegas along with our silver medallion. Mahalo Nui Loa...

Our buyers were from the same state that we originated from and are relocating to FL. They have sold their house and have their furniture stored; so when we were sharing stories with them, we confessed that we had buried St. Joseph in our yard. Their response was, “How do you think we sold our house?”
Thank you St. Joseph from both of us!

In 2002 I relocated to Florida from my hometown in Massachusetts due to a serious heart condition which made me unable to handle the cold New England weather. My son took over the house there with the thought of following me to Florida when the time was financially opportune. In January 2009, he listed the house at 27 Bush St, So Dartmouth MA with a realtor but had no sale within the next 6 months. In the meantime, I visited a church in my neighborhood and met a gentleman who told of his experience in selling his home (divine providence I believe). He explained how he had his house for sale for two years with no action until he was told by a friend about the St Joseph network, he called the "underground real estate agent". Because he "believed", he sent for the kit, buried St Joe and sold his house within two months!
I had never heard of the St Joe statue being used in this way; but I was "sold" and immediately sent the kit to my son in Massachusetts and listed the house online at St Joe's on July 22, 2009. The house sold in November 2009; a blessing and a miracle all at the same time!
We have just listed another house in Cape Coral FL with St Joe and expect the same "blessed" results. We "believe" that we will "receive" thanks to our faith in the power of prayer and St Joseph.

My daughter purchased this statue when we decided to sell our home in Texas. We were in the process of purchasing a home in another state and since the home sales were not looking good, I didn't know how things would go but was very optimistic. I buried our St. Joseph Statue and we put our for sale by owner sign in the ground, walked into our house and received a call almost immediately. We sold our house in 10 days and I have been thanking St. Joseph ever since. He now has a special place in our new home.
It just happened that I was given a St. Joseph statue from a realtor and since we didn't use a realtor, I passed it on to our neighbor's in-laws who had been trying to sell their home for quite some time.
Thank you St. Joseph.

I want to thank you for selling the St. Joseph statues; I bought this for our favorite Aunt & Uncle in Philadelphia. They had their home on the market for 6 months and the move-in date on their senior citizen apartment was pressuring them to sell.
Three weeks ago we drove up to visit them and to plant St. Joseph in front of their home which we did. We left him in his plastic sleeve, said the prayer and covered him with dirt. Lo and behold "the very next day" they got an offer from a couple that looked at their place over a month before. Just this week they received the contract and are waiting for the settlement date in September which works perfectly with their move-in date of September 23rd. It's hard to believe, but we certainly and gratefully do!
They are so happy and relieved, all thanks to St. Joseph and you! I just had to tell you and I imagine this will be added to many many other happy ending sales stories.
Irene
Take good care and thanks so very much!

Sold in one day with St. Joseph!
Too good to be true. We listed our house in central Florida on July 11th. I received and buried my St. Joseph near my "For Sale" sign on July 15th. We received a contract on the house on July 16th...the first couple to visit the property, and closed the sale yesterday, August 22, 2011.
I know this must sound like a fairy tale, especially in the Florida market these days but it is true and I am still kind of stunned since the offer was for 97% of our asking price. Anyway, the moving van went up my driveway at 1 pm yesterday and I am more than happy. I must say, we prepared with care, staged the house as well as we could and followed our agents advice but, I give great credit to that little statue that we placed in the ground. When I walked in the house after placing the statue I told my wife that against all odds I felt a great calm that we had done everything we could and we would be successful. I just didn't imagine that it would be one day later.

House sold with St. Joseph!
Last year summer 2010 we listed our home and had many lookers but no offers
and took it off the market. In the Spring of this year we placed our house
back on the market in April. At the time I did not call upon St. Joseph and
we had lookers but nothing and a few negative comments as well.
Houses in our neighborhood were selling, just not ours. I placed St. Joseph Statue in front of our home in our flower bed and began to pray. We received an offer on Monday Aug.1st and the people want the sale to be quick!

I just ordered the statue in case I decide to sell some day. In the middle of June, I sent my brother in law an email about three other people who had used the statue and sold their homes shortly after. My brother in law Harry lives in Lubbock Texas and been trying to sell for 2 yrs and 4 mos. He sent me an email on the 28th of June stating he had planted the Statue on the 21st and sold on the 27th of June. Amazing !!!

Thank you, St. Joseph!
I realize I should have written in sooner to thank St. Joseph for helping us sell our house. After burying the statue and trying to sell the house for 7 months, we took it off the market last December. In March, one week after my husband lost his job and my mother passed away, we sold. It wasn't for the price we needed or to the nicest people, but at least we sold and I am grateful for that.
God is good and He will provide.

For the second time, we have put our trust, and believe in the powers of St. Joseph. Our house went on the market on June 06 2011, on my birthday July 02 less than a month later we received an offer that was very close to our asking price and with a closing date very suitable for all. As you can see from the letter below St. Joseph along with prayer and belief that he would work hard was taken out of the Curio Cabinet and out of his place of Honor in his frame. We buried him next to the new For Sale sign upside down facing the road so he could call the buyers to have a look. I hope my sister and her husband many miles away sell their home quickly I have told her about St. Joseph to Believe is to Receive.
September 17, 2009: Our house had been on the market for a while. There were quite a few houses in the same neighborhood for sale at the same time. They all seemed to be selling but ours wasn’t. We even did a price drop.
After several months on a Monday evening we went downtown and bought a St. Joseph Statue. We took it home and buried it upside down, facing the house, beside the for sale sign in the front yard. When we got home from work on Tuesday the very next day our agent called to say we had an offer, from the very same people that had put in an offer when we first listed, but they had withdrawn as they weren’t sure they really wanted to re-locate to a new town.
The women that sold him to us said “He will sell your house” she was right, our faith in St. Joseph and his powers didn’t let us down. We dug him up and placed him in a frame and he is now in a Curio Cabinet in our temporary apartment until our new home is finished being built...thanks St. Joseph

I am a Catholic woman who attends church regularly at St Ann in Charlotte, North Carolina. In March 2011 I was sexually assaulted in my home by a man who I considered to be a good friend and neighbor. Despite purchasing new furniture and trying to avoid him on daily walks with my dog, I found myself spiraling into a deep depression. My only recourse was to sell my house of 28 years and move away from the neighborhood where I had raised my kids as a single Mom when my ex-husband found another woman to fulfill his dreams. Yes, I had quite a few showings and while people seemed “interested”, no one made an offer. I had ordered the underground realtor kit from your website but had not yet buried it except in a kitchen drawer. Before I took my daughter to the airport on a Sunday, I decided to finally bury my plastic statue outside. I placed him in the bag, upside down with his feet pointing toward the street close to the realtor’s sign and read the prayers included in the kit (as well as adding my own personal thoughts)...
That afternoon, while waiting at the airport for Chrissy to board, my realtor called to tell me that we had our first “drive-by” house showing appointment scheduled for the upcoming Wednesday at 8 pm. She met with them and said that as they walked through my home, they seemed happy, appreciative and surprised that the house was 30 years old. A few days later, they contacted another realtor who arranged a second showing and this time they let us know that they were meeting with their financial advisor to see if they qualified to purchase the home for the husband’s parents who lived in Massachusetts. Then the following week, the couple met with their mortgage lender and this past Saturday, I received a reasonable offer on my home. Listed at $195,000, I sold my home for $187,500 in less than 45 days, in a very tough economic market, to a couple that randomly drove by my house the very day that I placed St. Joseph in my front yard! How can one not know that it was faith, God’s love and St. Joseph’s prayers that brought these special people to my home?
I am closing on my new townhome in the middle of July and hope that I will be able to move on from this nightmare and be the Catholic woman that I want to be….I thank God and his servant St. Joseph for their presence and love during this most difficult time.
Terese R.

My prayers and best wishes are with you as well, always!! Thanks for the underground realtor kit!

A very good friend told me about this and sent the statue to my home that WAS for sale. I returned home to find the package and within hours followed the instructions. This may or may not be a record but within approximately twenty minutes I received a phone call from the listing agent here with the offer that sold our home. We are looking forward to the same results on the home we are looking to purchase in CA.
Thanks,

I am a real estate broker who had a house listed for about a year with very little activity. The seller, a very kind christian woman in her 80's, had bought a home in the city and needed to sell her country property so she could afford to continue living comfortably at her new home.
She often shared with me that she was praying to God to bring a buyer for her home. I had heard about the St. Joseph statue and decided that this was the perfect person to send one to. I went online and found a great site to order from (stjosephstatue.com). I had the statue sent directly to my seller with a short note.
Two days after I ordered the statue, we got a call from a buyer wanting to see the home that weekend. My seller received the St. Joe statue and buried it under the for sale sign the morning of the showing. The following day, the buyers came back and wrote an offer that was accepted. We have a closing date set for mid June and everything is on track for a successful closing.

Thanks for acknowledging the post that I recently left on your St. Joe web site. Actually, the property in question was sold about a year ago but we finally got around to digging up St. Joe just the other day (he was in a self contained plant pot) and ceremoniously installed him in a "place of honor" in our new home, as per the "system." It was then that I realized that I had never actually reported the property as "sold" on the St. Joe web site, so I thought I'd better check it out and when I saw it was still listed I removed it.
For your information, I initially learned of the St. Joe story when I happened to see it detailed by a buyer while watching a cable TV show on Bravo called something like "Million Dollar Home" (I'm sure you probably got a lot of action following the airing of that segment). I then did a web search for further information on the St. Joe thing and found your service....glad I did! That is a wonderful thing you're doing...keep up the good work!
In response to your query regarding the realtor we used, I did mention the St. Joe thing to her at the time, but she was unaware of the ritual and didn't seem to have much interest in it. I can see where not everybody would be inclined to get involved with it...."different strokes for different folks." Anyway, thanks again for making St. Joe available in this way.....much appreciated!

My name is Catherine Connelly and I purchased a St. Joseph Statue kit....My siblings and I lost both of our parents within 5 months of eachother last year and had to sell their beautiful townhouse condo in Southern New Hampshire...we hired a realtor and had a 6 month contract; it was up on March 26, 2011. I listed it with I soldmyhouse.com....nothing.
I returned to my house and within 5 minutes of getting in the door, my phone rang and it was a woman who had been to 2 of my open houses (I did on my own and was a little nervous showing the home alone to perfect strangers)....she wanted to bring her son-in-law to look at it the next day! ........we are closing on our parents property on May 16, 2011.
Thank you St. Joseph. I will dig him up and place him in my home for all to see and honor!
Sincerely, Catherine Connelly

Use this system.....it works!
We not only found the perfect buyer for our hard to sell home, but we simultaneously found the perfect new home for us that exact same day! The statistical probability of that happening is so remote that we have to attribute it to a Higher Intelligence! Trust that the timing will work out to be perfect for your particular situation and don't get discouraged if it takes a little longer than you hoped....it WILL all come together for you at the perfect time, in the perfect way.

Dear folks at St. Joseph Statue,
Thank-you for providing the method, along with God's help, to sell my father's estate condominium, which had been on the market for 2 1/2 YEARS with three different agents. After planting St. Joseph upside-down facing the road under the kitchen sink in a pot of dirt, there were two offers within 24 hours, one for a lease-to-purchase, and another for a cash sale. It was the cash sale that was chosen, and the buyer couldn't get in there fast enough. He was actually moving his belongings in during the closing, which was less than one week after the "planting." This really works! St. Joseph now holds a place of honor "right-side-up" in my breaker front!

This is really a miracle! We ordered our St. Joseph statue after having our home on the market for 3 months without a single offer and very few viewings. The day I received our St. Joseph statue in the mail our realtor called with a viewing. I quickly placed our statue in our front flower pot and said a prayer over it. The next day our realtor called with a second viewing. The third day, we received an offer on our home - without any conditions! Needless to say, we accepted and all the paper work was completed within one month.
We were able to purchase our dream home that we had put an offer on three months prior. We have St. Joseph in a place of honor where we can see, and thank him, everyday for helping us.
We are so grateful to God and St. Joseph for our new home!

We purchased and planted the St. Joseph statue as directed. We also had numerous people praying for us. My bible study group put the sale of our home on the prayer list. In that same week, a lady put in an offer on our home, which exceeded our asking price. Not only that, but her name was Esther (a biblical name). Needless to say, I am very pleased and would recommend this to anyone wanting to sell their home.

2 months to the day after burying my St. Joseph Statue I recieved a serious offer that led to the sale of my house. While I credit the extremely professional work of my real estate agents, I have to believe St. Joseph helped too.

Our home had been on the market for 7 months, lots of lookers, one offer, buyers backed out. Within 24 hours of planting St Joseph in the front yard we received a cash offer and closed within two weeks.

I followed the instructions that came with St. Joseph. However, our Tennessee house did not sell for a couple of months.
I ran into a lovely lady realtor in a doctor's office while visiting my elderly aunt and uncle in Florida. During my time in the doctor's waiting room, I chatted with the retired realtor about selling houses. The topic of St. Joseph came up. She told me that as soon as I returned to Tennessee, I should dig up St. Joseph, clean him up, and place him in a front window looking toward the street. She told me that over her many years as a realtor she found that St. Joseph was more effective when placed in a front window "looking out for you."
When I returned home, I followed her instructions. I noticed him in the window each time I went in and out the front door and he reminded me to pray and release my faith. Within two weeks, after almost 20 showings over the 3 months that the house was on the market, God brought us a buyer... Thanks for letting me share my story.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express my gratitude to St. Joseph Statue, your testimonial stories, and your Web site. We went through a lot to sell our house. We listed our house for sale since last December and had a contract in early April. The buyer's loan was pre-qulaified by a major bank. We thought everything would be ok, until end of May we learned his loan was not approved. He applied FHA loan and a month later, got declined again. The buyer was totally frustrated and backed off. I had to go to a friend for help because she sold her house in two months. She told me about St. Joseph Statue and gave me your Web site. I ordered the statue right the way and as soon as I recieved it, I buried it in our front yard under the "For Sale" sign. I said a prayer to Him everyday to ask his power to sell our house. I also prayed Him to help us get our loan approved for the new house as we planned. It was through his guidance. When I contacted the previous buyer in August, I was surprised he accepted our negotiated offer and was willing to go to a private banking to apply loan as my agent recommended. His loan was approved a month later and we had an escrow closing last week.
I have learned there is little I can do to reverse the situation. I must depend on St. Joseph and God to make it happen. I have to trust God to supply our needs. We moved to the new house on schedule. It is out of state where we have dreamed about for years. Now I have St. Joseph Statue in my room and still thank him and ask his protection to our household everyday.

St Joseph did it for me!
My house went on the market, was shown twice on Friday evening. On Saturday morning St. Joseph was placed according to instructions. My house sold by noon. Which meant I had to find and buy a house with in a month. I did and moved from Maryland to Ohio.
I have a beautiful statue of St. Joseph in my home in a place of honor for selling my home. I tell anyone that will take time to listen to my story.

Thank you for spreading the devotion to St. Joseph. He has always been a saint who speaks to Jesus in our behalf. On Oct 4, 2010 we listed our home for sale. The sign went in the ground the next day, as did St. Joseph. We began the 9 day Novena immediately. Within an hour we got a call for our first showing. They came back a second time, plus two other showings in the first two weeks. (Keep in mind this is a terrible sellers market.) On day 9 of our 9 day novena, we got an offer from that first showing's buyer. We are currently at the end of counter offers and feel the Holy Spirit guiding us, and St. Joseph watching over us as we "make our move."
I want others to know that the statue is not magic. It is the dedication to prayer and belief that St. Joseph will intervene for us to God - that is what brings the buyer - your faith. When we buried St. Joseph at our home back in 2006, we did not commit to prayer and God's will. It took over one year to sell our home. Sure there were other things that made it difficult to sell, but I still believe our faith has helped us this time for a quick sale.
God Bless you in your journey - Trust in God's will,

We needed to sell our parent’s home. When we received an offer and then sold the home, a friend told us that she secretly put a statue on the porch. It sold and we didn’t even know the statue was there. Then, when we wanted to sell our home, My sister reminded me about St. Joseph. I ordered the statue and procrastinated putting him in the yard. Two weeks went by and no buyers.
We found a home that we wanted to buy. However, we needed to sell our home, and fast. I buried the statue and placed a holy card in the window. My husband called one day to tell me that we had an offer on our home. When the call came, I had buried the statue just 30 minutes before that. Within those two weeks, we had sold our home and our new home was in escrow.
Now, we have our new home and St. Joseph is in a place of honor. We are true believers. I will save him in case someone needs a miracle.

I recently purchased a St. Joseph statue and I just had to share my story. I heard about the tradition of St. Joseph several times within a week, so I had to try it for myself. I am amazed at how fast things happened!
My house had been on the market for two weeks with no real activity or interest. I purchased the St. Joseph Real Estate Kit on Friday, September 10. That afternoon, we scheduled a showing. On Sunday, the same people came back again. I received St.Joseph on Monday and buried him. We received an offer on Tuesday, and after some negotiations, we signed the deal today, exactly a week after ordering St. Joseph!
We are so excited and love sharing our story about St. Joseph with everyone!

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the St. Joseph Statue. We had a contract in April, but two months later we were informed that his loan did not get approved. A friend recommended me to order the St. Joseph Statue because it helped selling her house quickly. I ordered it and buried it in my front yard under the "For Sale" sign on July 29. We had a few showings but the deal was not good.
Fortunately, I was able to contact our previous buyer, reduced the house price and sent him to a private mortgage company to get his loan approved. On the other hand, St. Joseph also protected us being able to move to our new home out of the state as planned. We are thankful for these double blessings. I would like to share my story in the St. Joseph Statue Web site.
Thanks.

I read the instructions and followed them explicity. I added a prayer of my own when I "planted" the statue. That afternoon I received a call asking to show the house the next night. A nice couple came to look and the next day we had their offer. We countered and are now accepting the offer and moving on. I buried the statue on Monday and accepted the offer on Thursday. How quick was that. I was shocked and very pleased.

Just a note to let you that within 48 hrs of ordering my St. Joseph statue we received an offer and contract on our house. The statue arrived four days later. We have had the appraisal and inspection, we are looking to close on the 3rd of September. St. Joseph's job here was finished before he was buried. We also have a condo to sell in St Louis. Hopefully he will continue to bring us luck in selling another property.

I just wanted to share that I buried our statue Saturday morning (8/14) and had a call at 1 p.m. to schedule a second showing that day at 1:45 p.m. We met again Sunday afternoon…they made an offer and we accepted!!! We are closing Sept. 30th! Coincidence? Don’t know but thank you for any added boost!! I am a believer!

I have to tell you my story. Thank you St Joseph. The day I ordered my statue 10 minutes later I received my first call for a showing. The day St. Joseph was in my mailbox I received the contract. I sold my home in 5 days thanks to St Joseph.
I could not believe how powerful St Joseph was. I just hope an pray I can soon find another home. Since the sale went to fast I am a week from closing and no home to go to yet. It’s a little scary.
However if you bury St Joseph be prepared to move quickly. Thank you again St. Joseph.

My mother passed away in 2005 and my wife and I had lived with her in her last years to nurse through a prolonged illness. We lived in a beautiful 3000 sq ft home built in 1945 in the hills of Martinez, California. It had a stunning view of the San Francisco bay. Unfortunately my mom never made any improvements to the property and while the home was very attractive, it had outdated plumbing and electrical issues and the foundation was in disrepair. In those days the market was still very hot but after listing the home for six months we couldn't sell it. One of my brothers offered to buy it at a very low price and we told him we would accept his offer as soon as the listing ran out.
In desperation I buried a small statue of St. Joseph, I figured, what have I got to loose? A week later on the last day of the listing we were resigned that my brother was going to get a steal and we were happy for him. That evening at about 8:00 an agent and a couple knocked at our door and asked to view the property. We told them the listing ended in just a few hours and we planned to sell the property to a family member. They were insisted however and we allowed them to tour the home. An hour later they made a full price offer on an "as is basis."
Did St. Joseph carry the day? I don't know. But I'm burying that little statue the next time I sell a home. You can be sure of that.

I ordered my St. Joseph statue, buried it in a large flowerpot on a windowsill and said a prayer. We had to sell our apartment quickly in a bad market.
To the great surprise of all - we had a huge turnout at our first open house and shortly after had 4 people who wanted it. One had the best financials and we accepted her offer.
We close next week! St. Joseph will have a place ofhonor in our new apartment!

Our home has been listed since March 2010 with 2 unacceptable offers. I ordered the statue and when it arrived we buried him as instructed.
While doing that we received a call from our realty company that there was a showing for the next day. 5 days later they took a second look and made an offer that was accepted by us!
Thank you St Joseph!

I am a true believer in the power of the St. Joseph statue. Nine years ago
when my husband got transferred and we couldn't sell our house, we buried
the statue and sold in 9 days! The sale of the house went so smoothly, it
was an awesome experience. That's why, when we decided to downsize and
reduce our expenses because of furlough days and pay cuts we've experienced
with our jobs, we didn't hesitate to put money into the house to update it
so we could sell. Even with the real estate market as bad as it is, there
was no doubt in my mind about being able to sell our house.
I planted one
statue on May 9th and another one a month later. Our realtor has told us we
have more showings than their other listings, almost one everyday, but so
far no offers. I realize that it may take more time to sell, but with our
expenses stretched to the limit, it's getting harder and harder. I also
cannot question God's plan for us. We took a leap of faith and more and more
I find myself doubting our decision.
Please pray for the sale of house...Thank you,
Linda

I stumbled across St. Joseph Statue website via a link from another website inadvertently (or divine intercession) and read about how St. Joseph Statue has helped thousands in the sale of their homes. After reading several testimonials, I decided to order the statue and give it a try.
My husband and I placed our home on the market June 03, 2010. June 15th I ordered St. Joseph, however I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to receive the order and went to a local Christian store and purchased a Statue and buried it in the yard under the For Sale Sign, and said a prayer as instructed. When the St. Joseph arrived in the mail from the order, I placed it in the window facing the front street so St. Joseph could have divine intercession during inspection and appraisal period.
We received an offer June 19, 2010 and had a signed contract June 21, 2010 and we are closing in two weeks! We are also purchasing a new home and scheduled to close both sales on the same day. I am a believer and would recommend to anyone who needs to sell their home and fast...to do the same...it works!

I want to say that the St. Joseph Statue REALLY REALLY works! I want to share my whole story. We put our condo for sale on May 29,2010 in a exclusive listing in order to save money on the real estate commission but it was not working so good, so I went on Internet to read about selling a house fast and I came across the St Joseph Statue so I decided to buy, I ordered on June 02, 2010.
On June 11,2010 we bought a house and we were happy but very stress that our condo was not sold and not even offers yet, and I was still awaiting for the St Joseph Statue to arrive( It took longer because I am in Toronto- Canada) so on Jun 13 I went to to a catholic store and bought another statue. I came home and buried it on a potted plant, but my gut was telling that I also should hire a different Agent, so on June 14 we decided to fire the Agent and hire a new, the same day I got the St. Joseph Statue I ordered from this site, so i ended up having 2 St Josephs.
On June 16( Wednesday) our condo was listed on MLS at 9:30AM by 10:00AM we already had two showings for the evening. I came home I decided to bury the other St Joseph statue on the garden in front of our building , but what I did was to put st Joseph in the bag it came on and inside I put a paper with the number of my unit and wrapped on plastic paper so it won't get dirty and I started praying a Novena to St Joseph. On the sixth day my son and I went down stairs to talk to St Joseph and thanking for all the showing and I asked him to bring me a couple with a child that would love our condo, as we were talking to St Joseph we saw a young couple coming to see apts in our building , the wife was pregnant , I stoop up and open the lobby door for them and I asked them what unit were they going to see . They told me they were looking at 2, suite 205, 2311 and 715, I told them 715 it is mine, so they said let's go see yours first. So I brought them up opened the door for them and I left. On the seventh day my Agent called me to tell that we have received an offer, I knew it was the couple and I asked her who was the selling Agent when she gave the name I could not believe the offer was coming form the couple I mentioned before. The offer was not so good so we sent a counter offer and they sent one back to us with an acceptable price. On the ninth day the offer was signed by both parties. It only took 9 NINE DAYS, all the other listing on my building have been in the market for a least 25 days. Thank you GOD and Thank you St Joseph.

We purchased the St. Joseph statue. So far as of over 60 days. Nothing. A
few drive by lookers but banks aren’t lending any money to anyone. The
buyers are maxed out on credit cards and our economy stinks.
I think we need a prayer for politicans to really understand why little people have no money and effects of what happens when they don’t and won’t spend what little they have.
Our house looks new from the outside, cuz it practically is.. New lifetime siding, new lifetime high impact roof, new lifetime deck, and new garage doors, with a new shed. You'd think someone would at least want to come in and take a look on the inside of it. It may not be the very best in the neighborhood, but it is the best in the neighborhood thats for sale at a price thats more than competitive. No reason it won’t sell other than people can’t get loans.

The Seller had that property listed with two different agents for more than two years without any luck. I listed the property, the owner followed the steps to put the “Big Guy” in the ground, then I added the listing on the St. Joseph website and guess what – I sold it TWO WEEKS after!
You gotta believe in it – it worked for me.

I had my property on the market for over a month with little traffic. I buried the St. Joesph statue in faith on May 7, 2010. I said daily prayers to St. Joseph for the quick and easy sale of my home.
I received a call the following week, to schedule a showing, exactly 7 days after I buried St. Joseph. Three days after the showing, a price was negotiated on. My closing was on June 10, which is also my birthday.
Thank you, St. Joseph, for a wonderful birthday gift.

A friend of ours who is a very devout Catholic recommended burying St. Joseph in our front yard. He even gave us your web site. Now, you need to understand, we are Jewish, but at that point, we decided that Jesus was a Jew, so maybe He would have a soft spot for us.
Our house was on the market for THREE years! My husband, a nice Jewish boy from New York City, buryied St. Joseph, then knelt and said the prayer. It was a sight to see.
But we also need to say THANK YOU, ST. JOSEPH. By the way, my father's birthday was March 19, which I understand was St. Joseph's feast day. Maybe they all had a soft spot! :)

I just wanted to write in and say that my St. Joseph Statue worked
perfectly. The house had been on the market for two months with St. Joseph
buried out front next to the for sale sign. Then I moved St. Joseph to the
backyard on a Saturday and on Monday we received an offer. We close in
June. I am going to get St. Joseph and use him for the next home sale.
Thanks,

I am proud to say we have just sold our home, thanks to the help of St Joseph! We are now getting ready to move, so I went out to find the statue. I buried it near the for sale sign, but I'm afraid the sign must have been moved (during the 2 months the house was on the market). I dug all around the area, but no luck. Any tricks, or advice you have to find the statue?

We'd had our house on the market for a month, and although our traffic and feedback were consistantly good, we watched two houses with the same floorplan in our neighborhood sell right away while our house sat there. We were always at the top of prospective buyers' lists, but were never their first choice.
My husband's start date at his new job was a month and a half away and we knew we'd have to sell the house quickly or we'd be separated across the country from each other--leaving me alone with our 2 and 3 year olds and a house that had to be perfect for showings at all times. When prospective buyers came for a showing--loved everything about the house--and never made an offer, I told a friend about our situation and she suggested getting a St. Joseph statue. She had gotten one when her house was for sale, and said her house had sold in a week.
So that day I ordered a statue of my own and had it rush delivered to me. It arrived on Friday and I put him in the ground next to the for sale sign right away. Two days later the buyers reappeared out of the blue for a second showing. The next day they made us the best inital offer my real estate agent said she'd seen in a year--the offer was competitive, with no contingencies, extra requests, or closing cost assistance requested. Plus, their ability to close was very flexible, so we were able to get the closing date we needed. Not only was it an acceptable offer, it was perfect! Now our entire family will be together and a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. It's proof that God really does answer prayers.

Our home on 1140 Hollywood Ave. Oakland sold within 9 days after the for sale sign went up. Our realtor told us that on the average she sells houses within 12 days. But the miracle was not only that the house sold in such a short time and over the asking price but the buyers I prayed for bought the house.
I asked St. Joseph to send a family to buy the house who can afford to pay over the asking price because we also need to buy our own house. I asked that the family be the one who will flourish in the neighborhood and that they will be the kind of neighbors who will become a wonderful part of the community we are leaving. We received 7 offers. Two of the prospective buyers offered the same amount. One is a family who has 1 son and 1 on the way. They were wondering where the Catholic school is. They didn't know that it is just 2 blocks away and that our children are going there. Not only that, the priest who married them is a close friend of our parish priest. They are the family I was praying for.
you St. Joseph for your intercession !!

Unfortunately, the St. Joseph's statue does not have the power to contradict what is going on here. Everyone loves our home. No one has the money.

Our family was under the gun- we had to sell our house within a month and a half. We lowered the price twice. No offers, no second showings. Had open houses every week for over a month. Our real estate agent and fellow agnostic gave us a St. Joseph when we signed on with her. He wound up in a drawer somewhere until this morning when my husband, daughter and I buried him in the front yard. We don't pray, so we did our best. Within 4 hours we had an offer. Within 6 the deal was closed. My daughter ran out and kissed the ground where St. Joe is buried. Our lives will vastly improve with this move. Maybe he listens to the skeptics, too. ;-)
Thanks, St. Joseph!

My wife and I move to Cape Coral full-time in late January. We've owned our house here for two years as a vacation home and decide we'd like something "bigger and better" as a primary home. We recognize that selling a house in this market, literally the epi-center of the foreclosure world, is sort of a fool's errand, but we decide "What the heck, there's nothing to lose". As we make this decision I'm looking out my window at a For Sale sign that's been there at least for the two years we've owned this house.
So we sign the listing agreement on a Monday, put the sign up on Wednesday, plant St. Joe on Thursday and have a signed contract on Saturday. We're closing May 13th.
Que Sera, Sera.

I had read about St. Joseph in a paper a few years ago and purchased one "just in case". I received a job offer and had 5 months to sell my house, find a new place, and move. I buried St. Joseph and put an ad on line as I had not received official orders and could not list until that time. The first weekend I got 3 inquiries on the house. My orders came the following Tuesday and I signed the contract with the realtor. On Wednesday, I received an offer for the full amount and to close within a month. I am a believer!!!

"Joe - You be The Man, or Saint, as it may be"
After a discouraging year of her Denver home going unsold, my Aunt Chelsia planted a Joe, and a week later had a signed contract. She kindly shared this with me just as I listed my Frisco, Colorado ski home at the height of the Summit County real estate market in spring 2007. But of course, being ever the optimist, yet also a devout realist, I laughed, and cast aside any consideration of any possible validity to this folklore.
It was not until over 18 months later, having by then lowered my price by 20% and having seen the financial and real estate worlds fall apart, that while at Costco I ran into a friend who I had not seen for many years. He proudly boasted of retirement, of moving to Florida...and of how he had just sold his Boulder home. His home had been listlessly on the market for more than a year...until he had a "Joe Epiphany"; a recollection from growing up as a Catholic kid from Brooklyn. For him, online order, burial and five days later...Bingo!
I had now become desperate, as it had been 18 months and not a single offer...not even an embarrassing low-ball salvo. So casting my pragmatism aside, but still holding onto a sense of skepticism, I Google "st. joseph statue real estate". For ten bucks or so, I hit the bid, and a few days later Joe arrives in a tiny bag with simple instructions. I ask a Boulder buddy of mine who is headed to Frisco to stop by my ski house and to bury Joe. This is on a Friday. That next Monday night, my realtor calls with a full-cash, 30 day offer! We closed on Christmas Eve day. Ah, but it gets better.
My final house guests used my ski home on December 18-22, and upon leaving, I had asked them to dig-up Joe and to bring him home. Well, first...they informed me that Joe had not been buried as directed - in the front of house, upside-down, facing the street, but in fact was gracefully hanging out on top of the fireplace mantle. Guess like Elvis...as long as he has not "left the building"...his presence is palpable! Second, they had read the Joe instructions, and asked....did I really want to tempt fate and "against the rules", remove Joe prior to a signed closing? So, as my prior skepticism had now been convincingly replaced by committed belief...per my quick response...they buried him in the front planter box. After an uneventful closing...I quietly snuck up to my old home and respectfully dug him up. He now sits prominently on top of my kitchen microwave.
To add to this amazing story, in early January, while meeting with my "business coach" and sharing the Joe saga with him....I am greeted with an ear-to-ear smile. I smile back and say to him that I see that response often when I tell this crazy-but-true story. He chuckles and responds, "I laugh not because of your good fortune...but because one of my clients (who happens to live in Los Angeles) is the owner of the largest seller of online Joe's in the country". In astonished wonderment, I look up my online receipt....unbelievably...it is from his client’s company...stjosephstatue.com. Too weird and way too small a world! To quote the classic band of the 70’s, The Monkees, Now I'm a Believer. Bob W., Boulder, Colorado

I sold my house just 6 weeks after burying my St. Joseph statue. With the economy the way it is, I am very grateful that our home sold so quickly.
The house next door was for sale, as well as the one across the street, the one behind us, and the one caddy corner from us. They had all been for sale for quite some time, and now 6 months later, they are all still for sale.
Some people laughed when I told them about burying the St. Joseph statue and saying the prayer, but I KNOW that is what brought about the quick sale of our home. Thanks again,

My sister had her property listed since last August and she estimates at least 120 persons viewed the property but no offers were forthcoming and she was getting pretty discouraged. I purchased the St. Joseph statue and without her knowing buried the statute and with the novena provided asking for St. Joseph's assistance for my sister.
One day after I buried St. Joseph, my sister had two different persons wanting to buy her property and she has sold it and will close this week.
Now that is what I call fast work. Thank you, thank you, St. Joseph. As soon as the property has officially closed, I will retrieve St. Joseph and provide a place of honor for him in my household.
