I’m sure that got your attention.
My brother in law is a priest. Have I ever mentioned that before? Before you lecture me on it ironic statement of “priest” and”brother in law” in the same sentence, I know that. Actually, 1 in 3 Catholic priests are married.
Moving on.
So while at Charlotte’s party, I remembered I had picked up a Saint Josephs 
doll from Marie Laveaus voodoo house when we were in New Orleans. Saint Joseph, among other things, is the Patron Saint of Real Estate. There is an old wives tale that says if you bury a St. Josephs doll under your real estate sign when you sell your house, upside down, it will sell.
Considering our house has been on the market for like 9 months, I’m willing to try anything. This mama is ready to get back to Florida!
I thought it would be funny to have my dad, who is my Realtor, bury it for us as some sort of symbol. Then my brother in law spoke up and said,
“You know, I could bless that for you first”
BRILLIANCE.
We are trying to convince my dad to keep a shelf of them in his office as a promo.
“We come with a Saint Josephs Guarantee and our own Priest!”
What….that could work!

Thanks again Trish for letting us feature your dealings with St. Joe on our HousingWatch website. Let us know when you sell! Here’s a link to the article:

I’ve never heard of under the sign but in the back yard. We’re going to need to sell our house sometime in the near future I suspect and I’m going to be doing the same thing! Good Luck!
That’s awesome! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. I still can’t play any of your videos for some reason
SEVEN friends and family, including ourselves, put st joseph upside down in ground, EVERY house sold within 7 weeks, all had had NO nibbles in 11-17 months…..
don’t fight it, folks, it works!
Well, our house has been up for sale for over a year. So if this works, I am shipping your brother in law, your dad and that voodoo doll to Indiana!
Too funny! And I learned something new. I’m married to a Catholic and I didn’t know priests could marry.
Good luck!
Oh that video is great. I hope the house sells soon for you guys.
