We sold our house to the first person to walk in the door after we put St. Joseph in the ground! Thanks so much!

I listed this home and did not have any customers look at the home, the next week I buried the statue under the sign and the next day a customer called to see the home one month later it is sold. We lived out in Tucson Arizona last year and had two homes for sale, on one investment home was for sale for three months, then I bought the St. Joseph statue and buried it while my wife said the prayer. The next day we had a cash offer and it closed in two weeks.Our other home we did the same thing, and it sold in two months. I am a Realtor and firmly believe in the power of St. Joseph. It also helps to make sure it is priced right and is clean and show ready.

To all -- we sold our home within two months of purchasing the ST. JOSEPH statue and putting it in the ground in front of our home, that was two months ago and all the other homes that were for sale around us are still there with for sale signs on them. We followed the instructions that came with the statue and prayed that ST. JOSEPH would help us and it worked.
THANK YOU

We received our St. Joseph statue on Wednesday and followed the directions to bury it that very moment. The following Friday, a couple came to see our home and bought it! They saw it one time and loved it. This was after our home had been listed for almost six months. Our agent’s listing was due to expire in one week. We truly believe the St. Joseph statue brought us our good fortune and we tell everyone who is trying to sell their home to get that statue. It sure worked for us!

I really have to believe that it was St. Joseph's assistance that brought us the buyer. In a depressed real estate market, when there were near 100 units for sale in the same area, it was a true miracle that a buyer came along interested in our unit. Granted it was top floor with views of the ocean and the intracoastal, and golf course, but there were so many for sale, why ours. I did not question, I just sold. And, because we were pre-construction investors, we sold in the "Green". Not too much, but we weren't in the "Red". I do believe................... I bought 8 more St. Joseph statues. I'm a realtor. Thank you St. Joseph, and God Bless all those who need you as did we..

St. Joseph DOES work !!! We listed our home in early December and I immediately got the St. Joseph Real Estate kit and followed the instructions to the "T". While I was burying the Saint by the "for sale" sign, two people pulled over and was observing my home - unbelievable!! Within a short 5 weeks and during the Holiday/New Year season, I received four separate offers with the final one being acceptable within my price range. Considering the housing market conditions, I truly believe that St. Joseph did intercede for us on Long Island, New York. Thank you very much St. Joseph!!!

Our home in Phoenix was on the market for approximately 2 months without an offer. We had showings but no offers. My husband buried St. Joseph on Friday afternoon and Monday morning we had an offer and it will be closing on 3/26/08. Thank you St. Joseph and THANK GOD!!!!

It was God and our 2nd realtor James that sold our house...St Joseph didn't have anything to do with it, we did everything it said to do...in fact he didn't seem to help at all...we buried him in 10/07...got a new realtor in 02/08 and 3 weeks later our house sold...sorry, wish I could say St Joseph worked like everyone else said he did!

My elderly aunt's home in AZ was on the market since May '07 with absolutely no prospects of selling. She told me about the legend of St. Joseph and how much she wanted a statue to plant under her home's For Sale sign. I searched the internet and bought the home seller's kit from this web site and had it shipped to her. In mid-February she buried St. Joseph under her For Sale sign and within two weeks received an offer and final papers were signed this week! She is a believer and told me to pass the word!!
Thank you.

Wahooo! We actually don't need to list our home on the site, b/c a week after burying St. Joseph, we got a contract! We're looking forward to digging him up and placing him on the mantle of our new home ...

After a little over a month on the market, our condo sold within two days of our contingent contract on a home we love being voided. My wife and I prayed about whether it was God's will or not for us to be in the new house or whether we should just give up and search elsewhere at a later time. God answered our prayers with a speedy sale with absolutely no hang-ups! It could not have worked out better. Thank you St. Joseph and praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!

The same day I burried St. Joseph I got a showing. This was the person that loved our place, brought his fiance the following weekend and put an offer right away. WOW! St Joseph is in a special place in my new house.

Our house was on the market for several months, with quite a few lookers, but no serious offers. I read an article in the newspaper about burying St. Joseph, and we decided to try it. Within a couple weeks, showings picked up and we had a solid offer, very near the asking price. Given the market, we were thrilled.

Gentlemen,
Thanks for your confirmation follow-up. I wanted you to know that last year, we used your St. Joseph statutue for the sale of our Reno home. Wow. Talk about a dead market! No offers at all for the first two months (noting that some houses had been on the market for almost a year). We received your statue, planted it, and got a full price offer within two weeks.
Happy doesn't begin to cover it. How about ecstatic?! Thanks so much for this awesome sales tool.
Relocated and Happy,
David

Divine intervention! We listed our home around Thanksgiving, against common knowledge that everyone, even the few homebuyers out there, have better things to do over the holidays than shop for a house. We buried St. Joseph shortly after listing the house. Some traffic but no bidding wars, then a couple came, saw, loved it, made an offer that was actually fair, the appraisal came in at $1k over the sales price, the home inspection turned up nothing, the termite inspection turned up nothing, and the buyers asked us if they could CLOSE EARLY. We turned over the keys to the buyers on February 21st. No one should try to sell a house without St. Joseph!

I just wanted to tell you my incredible story. Our house had been on
the market since October 2007. We had our St. Joseph statue in our
house and everyone kept telling me I needed to bury it. We all know
this is one of the toughest markets in recent years, but I refused to
bury my statue. Although we had many showings, we had no firm
offers. Finally in January I said, "If we don't get any movement
within the week I'll go ahead and bury my St. Joseph statue." We
didn't get any offers, so I buried St. Joseph and offered to pray a
novena. I also told St. Joseph, "We really need to sell our house
quick. Our new house will be ready in late February. A quick sale
would be very good for us. Please help us sell our house quick!"
That day we had an open house and a record nine groups of people
visiting. We also got an offer the next day for the price we were
asking! (I quickly un-buried St. Joseph...I don't think he liked the
cold.) We closed on our house yesterday and will close on our new
house today. Oh! By the way, the name of the family who purchased
our house? Their name is "Quick". The power of prayer!! THank you
St. Joseph. I will be visiting the church with your namesake to
offer an additional thanks!

I just saw Bill Cates on CNN. Nice marketing and I applaud you for taking advantage of vulnerable people in a vulnerable housing market and getting rich off it.
However, you should allow ALL interviews of ALL customers so to not distort the truth. Especially go to Michigan. Then go on CNN.
I purchased a St. Joseph statue from you and followed the procedure. It took two years to sell our house at $100,000 less than we paid for it. Oh, we purchased it brand new built and invested $75,000 more into it after we moved in. A net lose, including realtor commissions, nearly $200,000.
Please post this to your web site ...
Sincerely,
Mark Werner
Ed: Just a couple of clarifications. We have been providing St. Joseph Statue kits for almost 20 years. We've seen a number of up and down housing cycles. We actually started in a rising market. It's sad that you got caught in a falling market. Secondly, CNN interviewed us. It was not our marketing, it was their news story. They chose who to interview, what to film and created the final edit. We had no say in the story.
Best wishes to you.
PS: A last clarification, it's 'Phil' Cates.

Just to let you know that I just sold my house with the help of St. Joseph. My house is on the market for 3 weeks with a very good traffic average of almost 1 showing in a day but with no offers. After my realtor advised me on burying St Joseph, I immediately bought the kit. Buried St. Joseph on a Thursday and the next showing day which was a Saturday I got an offer. This really works! Just have faith in HIM.

I just received the reminder to list our house. However, the house has already
sold. The option period just ended and we are set to close. I felt compelled
to let you know our story. Our house was listed over the holidays and we had
gotten traffic but no offers, my dad called to remind me that he had buried a
St. Joseph statue at their last house and sold it a week later. I ordered my
St. Joseph Statue from your site that day. When I received the package I drove
out to the house later that day, despite the fact that it was freezing and pitch
dark, buried St. Joseph according to the directions and said the prayer. That
was on a Thursday night. Monday morning I had two offers, one of which we
accepted and will close on before March 14th.

We tried for 6 months to sell our home. Not a single offer. We burried St. Joseph and within 4 days we had a SOLD sign on the property. Because we had already left the area we had a friend bury it for us. He too is now a believer. We have sold several homes but had forgotten about St Joseph because he was packed away. Our daughter reminded us about our St Joseph belief and we immediately had him burried at the home. We had to buy another because our orignal was still packed.

I ordered the St. Joseph Statue ... It arrived on Thursday. On Friday, we had a couple view our house, then come back three times. On Sunday, I asked my husband and son to bury St. Joseph, since he had been sitting on our desk since Thursday. They buried him early Sunday morning. We had an open house starting at noon. We have had at least four other open houses. Usually no one showed, sometimes one person. This day, five different people came to see the house. One was a young couple, newly weds. They loved the house and placed an offer on it. With the offer, they sent a note that said that they never went to open houses. They were with their realtor, noticed the sign and came to visit. As soon as they saw the house, they knew it was a place they could raise their children. They felt that God had sent them to this house. Sure gave me goose bumps. Will close by the end of next weeki.

We had this house for l5 months... the house empty, paying the utilities every month. Listing was for lease, rental or purchase. A few low ball offers. We did reduce the price 25,000 dollars. Still not a decent offer. We found St. Joe and buried him in the front next to the for sale sign. Five days later we had a decent offer. This offer was the one that sold. Thank you St. Joe. In this market we were still upside down for $23,700. At last we are free of all the monthly payments.

the asking price! Thank you, St. Joseph!

I just wanted to let you know that I had previously purchased 2 of the kits and gave them to a friend and to my son. Believe it or not, in my son's subdivision, about 1/4 of the houses were for sale, and his was the only one to sell! My friend had a condo with all sorts of restrictions and even a lawsuit against the association, but a week after she buried St. Joseph, she had an offer and sold her condo! I believe in St. Joseph and his blessings!!
This latest one is for my daughter who is selling some property in Birmingham and needs his help.
Thanks,
Betty S.

We listed our rental home in CA at the worst time in
the summer - August 07 when the sub-prime fallout
escalated and the credit crunch started. We ordered
the statues in September as all the odds were against
us with selling the rental in a fast declining area.
Within a few days of our listing expiring in late
November, we received an offer. We closed escrow in
mid-January. Thank you St. Joseph. We're now sending
our statues to our North Carolina agent where we've had
a rental listing since March 07.

Nothing has sold in our subdivision in months so when we told our neighbors we were selling they could not believe it. We put our house up for sale the weekend of Thanksgiving and had St. Joseph at the house that first day. We sold in 6 weeks! Thank you St. Joseph!

Thanks for the reminder, but I am happy to report that I won't need to use your listing service! Two weeks after receiving our statue and following the instructions, we have a firm contract on our home. This after six months of no activity whatsoever. I am a grateful believer....

in our building were for sale, including several that were less expensive than our unit. We listed the apartment at the end of October, planted St. Joseph in a pot on our terrace, and closed today. We had a solid contract, almost hitting our asking price, the week of Christmas. No trauma, no drama. This is the third time St. Joseph has worked for us.

Just wanted to let you know that I purchased a st. joseph statute from you in 2007. I finally got my husband to reluctantly agree to help me bury the statute by digging the hole for me. This happened in late november or early december. I received a contract last week for full asking price of my house $320,000.00. In this very bad real estate market, this type of offer is unheard of. My real estate agent was floored!! Anyway, I have told everyone of the work of my st. joseph statute.

I ordered the St. Joseph statue about eight months ago to assist my husband and I in selling our home. Every day I would go out to the "for sale" sign, and say a little prayer to give me insight and hope. I would attend church regularly asking for more strength in keeping my head up, and to look for hope. In December 2007, our home sold on the day I felt like giving up. My husband and I were going to take our home off the market, and just rent it out. On the day we decided to call our realtor to remove the sale sign, the home sold at our asking price.

Our home was listed with a real estate agent in August. It was a beautiful home and sparked a lot of interest. There were many showings, a number of open houses and we received numerous compliments on what a wonderful home it was. But we did not receive any offers. Due to an employment relocation we no longer lived in the home and were making double house payments. Nearly four months after listing it we received an offer considerably less than our asking price. We decided not to accept the offer. Our daughter was home from college for Thanksgiving break and reminded us that we had sold a former home 10 years earlier only after burying Saint Joseph in the yard. With that reminder we ordered a Saint Joseph kit and had it mailed to a former neighbor. He read the instructions and did exactly as directed. Within a week we had a reasonable offer on our home Our former neighbor called to say he was now a true believer and would dig up our blessed treasure and return it to us after the closing. We closed on the home on December 31st barely a month after burying St. Joseph. If we ever sell another home we will remember that St. Joseph has answered our prayers in the past.
With thanks,
Jan and Doug

Thank you so much for making St. Joseph available to everyone...Although we are Jewish, I thought I'd give him a try in trying to sell our house in this terrible market. This was the 2nd statue I purchased ...you see, we followed directions to a tee in burying the statue and even said the prayer. A few days before we were to move to our new house, I mentioned to my husband that if St. Joseph wanted to come to our new home with us he needed to get busy and help us get this house sold. Several days later and 2 days before we moved we got a contract!!!!!... A month later, during the walkthru the day before the closing, we went to the house early to dig up the statue so we could take him home with us...but we couldnt find him!!! My husband, my real estate agent, and the buyers real estate agent all dug up the whole flower bed where we put him ...but no St. Joseph....I felt so guilty that we couldnt find him I ordered this last one and placed him in a spot of honor in our new home.
I am now ordering one for my step-son who is trying to sell his house in Florida.
Thanks again!!
