Feng Shui This - House For Sale in Lexington - The Neighborhood

If you are thinking of putting your  house  up for sale in Lexington or anywhere else, you're probably ready to pull out all the stops and get it sold!  Selling a house in this market can take all your skill, all the skill of your realtor and his/her minions, and if you add a bit of Feng Shui to the mix it might just help them make that sale and take it to closing.  Feng Shui is a whole lot about common sense and making things look nice.

So, lets begin.  We need to do some imagining now, and drive within a quarter mile of your house.  Start looking at the neighborhood as if you have never seen it before now.  Look around.  Are your neighbors slobs?  or do they keep their lawns and homes looking nice?  Are there any old piles of junk or old cars?  Many cities have ordinances against that sort of thing and you might have to call the proper government offices to have the city take care of the mess.  Your neighbors will thank you.  (well, maybe not the ones you report)  At any rate, it will help clean up your neighborhood, and that will help you sell your house.

Now lets continue down the road.  As we get closer, lets look over your own lawn and house.  Are the hedges clipped neatly?  Does the lawn look neat and trimmed?  How about your gutters and woodwork?  Everything painted and clean?  I can't stress how important this is.  A first impression can be just that, or it can be the last impression.  If you want to sell your home, it needs to look as good as possible.  Sometimes you can make it look better by just adding a little color.  Flowers are not expensive, and it takes very little to maintain them.

Check out these examples:

Nice.  The lawn is clipped, manicured, even landscaped.  We even notice that there's a privacy fence out back.  This house looks good.

Now, lets take the same house (actually the same photo) and pop in some flowers.  A little color makes a big difference.

Feng Shui is about making the most of what you have.  Add a little sparkle.  It's simple, it's inexpensive, and it really can make a big difference when you have a House For Sale in Lexington.

And, if your neighbors aren't keeping up their lawns, maybe you could offer to help them out a bit.  It will do everyone some good.  It could be that their mower doesn't work, their back's been giving them trouble...whatever the reason, you might make a friend while making the whole neighborhood look better.
