There IS nothing nicer then getting a call or email from anyone you are working with to thank you and let you know that what you did helped them. It's even nicer when it's from an Activerain Realtorwho had found me and contacted me about Feng Shui. I am not going to reveal who this person is, that would be entirely up to them but I did get a contact from Activerain from someone who had stumbled on one of my posts on Feng Shui and we spoke on the phone.
She had already taken Suzee Miller's online course on Feng Shui and she is also a home stager. But it was her home she was most interested in selling and despite the changes she had made, nothing had worked. She contacted me for some thoughts and ideas and I wanted to help her. I can't comment on Suzee's Miller's course because I have never seen it so I don't know what it entails. I do know that it's very expensive and did not charge her because she had already paid for a course.
My first question to her was if the Blessings were included. Since I believe so much in them I was curious to know and she replied that they weren't. Since they are considered "sacred" because they are so old, I made the unusual decision to work with her and include the blessings. We spoke on the phone, I received emails and, more importantly pictures and we worked together to change some things in her home that had already been changed. There was nothing difficult or expensive that needed to be done, just some things I felt were out of balance.
I got a phone call within two weeks and while she didn't yet sell HER house, she sold one of her listings! Which she had blessed. She had not expected to sell this because it was only on the market less then two months but a deal was reached and we were both thrilled. We have spoken and emailed back and forth and while she found a neighborhood she liked, she had not found a HOME she LOVED. I felt that it was key to selling HER home and then she walked into one and, you guessed it, fell in love! She was home. She wrote to tell me she'd found a home that she finally loved and was worried about making an offer on it without her home being sold. And on that I won't advise. If her home did NOT sell, that would be a big financial risk.....I left it to her to make the decision.
And today I got my "happy email." The first four words? "I SOLD my home." The inspector is coming tomorrow and she will put in an offer for a new, loved home! I am thrilled for her (as she knew I would be!) and am waiting to hear whether her inspection AND her offer go through.
It would be nice hearing it from her and maybe someday you will....but perhaps she is just not comfortable posting anything because of the controversy on whether Feng Shui WORKS. It does---learn even some of it, put it into use and you'll also be helping your clients as well as yourself! Another happy Activerain story.
