[Premiere]

Our home sold in one month. That is, after watching many television shows on how to stage one's home using contemporary furniture, taking our own pictures of the home and insisting the real estate agent use them on the internet MLS site :-)

I have two important pieces of advice from folks on this forum.

We took them both to heart and our home sold in nine days with a bidding war!!

The first was from Bill n Brillo who said.."Price it as low as you can stomach".

The second was from Swimdawg who said " Ask Father Baker to help you sell your house, (Father Baker who is now enjoying his rewards in heaven was instrumental in having the Basilica built in Buffalo, New York.)

I don't know which was more helpful..

We have slept in our new Villages home three nights now.

My thoughts and prayers are coming your way for a quick sale.

Pat and Bill, and Tainsley,

Got my fingers and toes crossed for you. Quick sale. Please, please, please.

[Jhooman]

Positive thoughts are being sent your way.

We just sold our after ten months. We will be in The Villages in November.

Good luck.

I meant to say- our home. Duh!!!

Our first showing is tomorrow ... here's hoping! Prayers and positive thoughts appreciated.

I definitely have fingers crossed........and as Gracie said, I will put in a good word to Fr. Baker. Can't hurt....might help!

The mere fact that we will be living in ST. JAMES will put a smile on his face, right? Who is St. James anyway? I know St. Patrick.....and a few others....but St. Jim????

Looking forward to seeing you two.....sooner rather than later.

to all of you. This has been valuable information to everyone who will be selling their home in the future as well.

Thanks all!

Is there a Saint Tamarind Grove to pray to? I Will! We will be moving into TV in Dec. if the house sells or not. Sure would be nice if it sells. It would take a load off our minds.

I so wish it for you!

Thank you! Good luck to everyone trying to sell their homes. Maybe we'll all sell them on the same day and have a big party in TV

Our home has been on the market for 7 weeks now. We have lowered the price and it is uncluttered staged, etc. We have an awesome Realtor, and am hoping it sells soon. In some ways it is hard to sell it, as I designed and built it myself.

Here it is if anyone wants to see it;

My wife says that weather it sells or not, we ARE spending this winter in our Florida home.....so regardless we hopefully get the privilege of meeting many of you good folks soon. I'm still believing it will be sold soon and that we will be down there for good before the close of the year...

With all of us who are doing the same thing, we should all "think good thoughts", "Pray for each others sale", etc, etc.....

We bought down there 5 years ago.....seems like just yesterday. I'm praying this last chapter goes fast and our new life starts soon.....

How awesome would THAT be.....!!

The saint who helps in home selling is St. Joseph! Google him! I did and we are closing this Thursday! Might sound crazy, but all I know is it sold!

[CarGuys]

I had the St buried as per instructions next to the for sale sign facing towards TV.

Four years later and over 150 feet away from where he was planted I was mulching the gardens in front of the porch, heard a clunk saw the head of a figure. Pulled it out and it was St Joseph!

Is that weird or what?

Gave him a bath put him on our sink window sill and the house sold.

He's hanging out slightly chipped in our rental and coming to TV
