Saint Joseph, Sell my house. Please


For those of you that don't know Barb and I are trying to become fulltime RV'ers. We are now at the last piece of the puzzle. Selling the house. Its been on the market for 3 months now and still not sold. We fired our agent last week and hired a new agent on Oct. 1st.

Already we've had three showings. But I'm already thinking about getting a new agent. Why after just five days, you ask? Well, a few weeks ago I was on one of the many RV forum clubs I belong to on Facebook complaining about my house not selling. 
Several people suggested we bury a Saint Joseph statue in the yard. Not sure how to respond I simply said Huh? Everybody said just goggle it. So I did.

Seems if you bury a statue of Saint Joseph in your yard your house will sell very quickly. I did a little research and I mean very little research and sure enough you can get these Saint Joseph selling your house kits on line. Not only can you get them on line but, Hold on to your hat, you can buy them at Christian Book stores. Really, now I'm willing to try just about anything to get on with my life and get this house sold but I'm not to sure about burying Saint Joseph in my yard.

Especially after I told my mom about it. This is the lady that goes to church on Wednesday and twice on Sunday. She came about as close as you can get to saying if you do this you aren’t my son. Not to mention all the rules you need to follow when putting Joe in the ground. And who knows what the right rules are.

I took these from several sites.

Upside down, near the 'For Sale' sign in the front yard. (An upside down St. Joseph is said to work extra hard to get out of the ground and onto someone's mantel.)

Right side up

In the rear yard, possibly in a flower bed

Lying on its back and pointing towards the house “like an arrow”

Three feet from the back of the house

Facing the house

Facing away from the house

Exactly 12 inches deep

So, my question to you fulltimer's that did bury Saint Joseph in your yard. How quickly did your house sell? Now I haven't run out and bought my Saint Joseph yet, and by the way you can actually buy one from Amazon. Prices range from $6.69 to $24.88. I guess if you buy the $24.88 kit your house will sell faster then if you only spend $6.69.

So if I come back here in a couple of weeks and tell everybody we're moving into a new RV because the house sold please don't say anything to my mom, she doesn't need to know how we did it and I still need to be able to get a nice dinner on Thanksgiving day.
