CLOSE-AT-YOUR-HOME - A Better Way to Settle is Heading Your Way

Whether you're buying, selling or refinancing, we know what you're going through on closing day - the last-minute packing and loading, the cleaning up and clearing out. No matter how organized you are, things can become chaotic. Who needs the additional stress of sitting in traffic to make a trip across town to a title company? Signing the settlement papers should be the simplest and most relaxed part of the move. And now it can be - when Settlements on Site brings it to you. During the walk-through, sellers, buyers and agents are often in the same place at the same time. It just makes sense to bring in a closing rep, while you're on site, to wrap everything up. You can close on your property then and there and still pay less than you would in a title office.

ST. JOSEPH STATUES
According to a somewhat urban legend, St. Joseph Can Help You Sell Your Home! It is said that if a person takes a small statue of St. Joseph and buries it upside-down, facing the street and near the for sale sign, that a much faster sales transaction will occur. Who says this? Well, thousands of homeowners and real estate agents have utilized their statues as a marketing aide. The phenomena have been publicized in the Washington Post, New York Times and The Lincoln Journal-Star, to name a few. The St. Joseph Kit comes complete with a 3 1/2" plastic figurine, a special prayer to read while burying the statue and a set of instructions! Please see our ORDER FORM for rates and to place order
