Wanted: Annapolis Area Realtor, Must Perform Miracles
January 31st, 2008 Categories: One Minute Realtor, Real Estate News, Sellers
You’ve probably heard that sales of St. Joseph statues are brisk these days. Lore has it that if you bury a statue of the saint upside down, facing the street, you’ll sell your home quickly.
According to one online source, St. Joseph’s reputation as a real estate deal maker can be traced to St. Teresa of Avila, who – back in the 1500′s – needed land for a new convent. Lacking sufficient funds and a decent mortgage broker who could find her a competitive rate on a 30-year fixed, she prayed to St. Joseph to intercede, burying medals with his likeness all around the desired parcel of land. It worked, and the land was hers.
Today you can find St. Joseph “kits” all over the web, including places like Catholic Supply. Most include a statue, instructions, and a prayer card for the official burying ceremony. A “deluxe” kit includes all that, plus a plastic burial bag and a St. Joseph house key chain. It’s unclear whether the deluxe version is designed for a faster sale, or higher-end homes, or both.
Heck, if the spirit moves you, go ahead and give St. Joseph a try. Meanwhile, The Moss Haedrich Team will continue to give it our earthly best with the homes we sell.
