hey peeps hey peeps this is diane and randall bro another wine down another wine down don’t be thrown off by the fact that we’re wearing the same clothes as last time it’s a complete coincidence just pretend like pretend yeah yeah we did it we just had two great ideas and we wanted to get them out there as fast as we could to you guys i still had time to record this exactly so here we are that’s right what are we gonna talk about today today we’re going to talk about something that’s very near and dear to a lot of real estate agents heart they may not always admit to it but we will yeah we have no shame and we have no gain more than shame we have more game than shane um i’m a firm believer being a catholic born and bred in new orleans yeah and um a little bit of real estate real estate yeah let’s call it that yeah real estate and i think some of you realtors out there may know and so all of them in new orleans will know all of them in new orleans but here we go the power of saint joseph’s statue now st joseph is part of the nativity scene he yes that is correct yeah so he’s not the father of jesus no no he’s kind of like the stepfather exactly exactly and the power of the saint joseph statue is saint joseph is the patriarch of family he acts as the patriarchal families he’s someone he’s an intercessor so to speak okay um you can send your thoughts and prayers to him uh help me help me with my family help me protect my family help me sell my abs help me sell my house yeah he is kind of like um i’ll help you out with the family help you out with the house you know and so a lot of realtors will bury the statue in the yard of st joseph yeah and it helps you this is our personal favorite the thing is that they say bury him head down oh yeah you know what i got feet up okay so i googled this no i i did and there was no consensus as to how to be i do it my way my way is head down that’s correct that’s right that we’re going to do so what is your way head down yeah feet up yeah preferably by your for sale sign and say quick prayer to saint joseph bless my family bless this lovely home that we just lived in um thank you for protecting us and send us forward into our new home with happy memories and and help us find it really the key is help us find a good buyer for buyers you know what i mean and so it it really does not fail so if you bury him head down feet up buy your for sale now does he look at the for sale sign and see look out towards you no i prefer looking out because you’re looking forward to your future you’re looking forward to your future carrying all of your family memories with you in the future and he just kind of um is a guiding he can be a guiding force of course alone yeah now you know i played saint joseph in a in a nativity scene when i was in fourth grade did you know that no i didn’t i actually you know what’s so weird i was married you were i was married two different plays two different places i’ve known him for 35 years i never knew i didn’t know you were married i was married it was destined it was destiny and my mom made me a pretty blue a pretty blue dress yeah i had a sack and a rope that’s all right and i had to kneel the whole thing i think she made me married because i had long blonde hair or something i don’t know i just looked really holy it was we were destined to be realtors because you know that’s hilarious so anyway we are a firm believer in it um and nothing everything always helps with a little bit of prayer and a little bit of thoughtful meditation that’s right thoughtful meditation and sending good positive vibes out there and if saint joseph can help us along the way it’s certainly not going to hurt yeah right that’s right there was there was some a story i saw online about a guy who didn’t believe about the saint joseph statue so his wife or the realtor somebody buried the statue so he dug it up and he threw it away and then the next day he’s reading in the paper that the dump like the local dump was sold well for all of you fellow agents or fellow potential clients who are trying to sell their home and maybe hitting some stumbling blocks on amazon prime baby yeah or hit us up we’ll say yeah we’ll send you st joseph’s amazon prime yeah i’m gladly we’ll see what yeah you want i mean we’re doing tongue-in-cheek but you know there’s as i said there’s nothing wrong with a little uh intense prayer and meditation uh on what your future will be and we’re gonna talk about karma too and yeah and blessings on your former home okay anyway amazon prime 10 in a bag not bad this is a real thing people yeah the other thing i’m a very strong believer in is saging your home okay very very important sometimes there’s just negative energy and it’s it’s great if you can find someone who is uh really well-versed and well educated and well connected to the earth mother earth and there is honestly am i right nothing more powerful than watching someone come in and just uh kind of represent mother earth and sage your home and take some of the energy out or or help someone to take mother earth you’re being attacked by i am that’s ridiculous you need to say it so seiji is what is saying it’s like a plant it’s it’s a plant and you light it and you burn it and you kind of go around and yeah someone has some their own personal incantations and and uh and that takes negative energy takes negative energy um and makes everything kind of equal again and whole sometimes it’s important um also to have someone just carry a crystal and go from room to room and discuss positive and happy memories because sometimes a house is blocked from being sold just because of your intense love and attachment to the home because you brought your family up you haven’t let go and so transferring all of those feelings towards a crystal that you can carry with you into the future into your next home enables you to kind of easily let go of that and let someone else come in and say oh i’m ready to make my new attachments here and we learned that from our good friend we did our good friend karma she uh she’s amazing and um she’s very much just an amazing person super super connected to everything she’s like mother nature yeah and uh you know so she will also do say gene if there’s a lot of bad energy and that just cleanses your home of that um it’s also great for blessings when you’re moving into a home it’s really great to start thank you yes thank you karma i’ve never seen anything so touching is when i see her work um it’s a beautiful i think a seller was a little uh a little doubtful but i think he was a believer by the end right it’s a very powerful it’s a very powerful very touching very touching sweet thing to see so we are here to tell you as agents uh not only do we work super hard and try to find new clients but we are always have you in our mind we’re always meditating have a lot of prayer uh we don’t just wing this it’s a lot right a lot of power is coming to bear it’s a lot of powers we try to bring it all to you not only do we do our homework and the regular advertising and the business side of it but there’s also a really powerful spiritual side to it that and i think you know if we can teach our our sellers the same thing um it makes everybody move on peacefully and go on to our next adventure so anyway when in doubt saint joseph yeah here he is some staging some sagey yeah i’m all for do it all it’s realtor’s well-known little secret but we’ll be the only ones who really talk about it but hey i own up to it i’m open to everything in the universe that’s right so anyway it was great seeing you again cheers have a wonderful fantastic week and take care call me if you need anything at 713-300 happy to bring you my pickles as well as a little st joseph if you need one all right guys have a great week talk to you soon bye you

hey peeps hey this is diane bro my better half randall bro that’s me that’s you we are the spouses that sell houses yes we are and you’re the pickle lady and i am also the president pick a lady which i’m kind of tickled to have that little label yeah the pickle thing is really taking off everyone’s really liking the pickle thing but the pickles are really good but you know you as the it was the pickle ladies i’ve embraced everything yeah i’ve totally embraced it yes becoming a real big part of who i am and anyway love sharing my pickles with all of our clients yep but uh we sure have missed you guys it’s been a little bit instead of our weekly wine down it’s become several weeks several weeks several weeks till our winter but we always do a weekly wind down we just don’t always record it correct our daughter graduated from college so we were busy with that congratulations to you adeline we’re very proud of you she finished in three years from asu yep and um worked very hard she did she’s a little sun devil sun devil and also a devil in general but yeah that’s another story for another time she’s a devil at night as well correct but anyway we’re happy to be here today and one of our new exciting things we really want to talk about is what is it to be a good seller be a good seller be a good seller a good seller is someone who is realistic in their pricing when we come in with our comparative market analysis we’ve done our homework yeah we know what you know you can’t change you can’t change the market no you can’t change the market and we know we do our research we know exactly where your home should be priced how much per square foot we just don’t make up a figure so we wish we could i know we wish we could if we could make your home worth a lot of money per square foot that the market wouldn’t that’s right except we would be super real estate agents we would be buying and selling property i think instead so we can’t yeah we have to respond to the market we really appreciate those sellers who are like we respect your opinion and we take that under advisement and uh we don’t expect a million when our home is only worth four hundred thousand yeah and then look at the cops the internet is like we see what you’re saying and why you’re saying it and they’re reasonable about it some people just aren’t yeah and so that is what makes a smooth and easy selling process yeah accept the correct pricing go with it even if you feel like everyone thinks their home is worth way more than what it really is i do too i do too i love it i’m invested in it it’s my home i have a lot of emotion attached to it but if you really take a step back and just look at the market and accept that you will have a smooth and seamless sale that will not drag on forever and ever and ever and you’ll be under a ton of stress trying to show it and run in and out and screaming at the kids and you know or your husband whatever right and trying to get out that’s right so we love people who really are like you know what i get it i get it i accept it and i i respect your opinion yeah and uh we’re gonna go with that and also appreciate that most people do not live in a stage-ready environment no no you know the way that i know the way that we live every day our home is not we are never stage ready yeah we’re never stage ready and in state the reason why it’s called staging is because it’s unrealistic it’s it’s a it’s a theatrical presentation for the benefit of the buyers and so it is unrealistic it is and so sometimes some of the things that we point out may be seen you know everyone knows that you know we have garbage so we’ll have a garbage can yeah but you don’t want to show the garbage can it’s a game we pretend you pretend no one lives here no one has ever lived here no one has created memories here no one has you know it’s all brand new a brand new event in our dream life there is no garbage there is no garbage right garbage but the toilet seat down right yeah ever going to the bathroom exactly that does not happen there put your lids down when we say hey maybe the black room or the hot pink room you might want to change that to a more neutral color don’t be offended just roll with it but that’s so boring yeah it is it is i’m sorry most buyers have to be able to come in and envision their own home yeah they don’t want to say oh i don’t like that color this would never work for me they have to see neutral neutral neutral they can inject their hot colors into a neutral room yes but they can’t inject a neutral into a hot room that’s that’s the thing so for all of you who we’ve listed for and worked with and we’re just delightful to work and and and followed our advice we salute you too we toast you we’ve been very lucky we’ve had some wonderful wonderful people pleasant to work with yes so when you are thinking about listing your home or calling an agent try to work with us be blessed we want to be have fun we want to make you ask well we’ll be pleasant we’ll be blessed even if you’re not we don’t want to be the heavies yeah no agent likes to be the heavy and come in and tell you you know we just be open yeah we’re really not making rules yeah just telling you how it is correct and in the end you know the the seller the the client is the one who makes the decisions and if they say no we’re going to go with the hot pink room there’s really nothing we will respect that but try to listen to mama listen to mama i’m trying to help you and i and we want to make this good for you all right well we do want to
