Do you have Asian clients?  Feng Shui is a big deal in Asia.  Even here in the states, it's becoming more and more respected as a serious consideration for home buyers.

Before you pull out your list of houses to show your Feng Shui savy clients, check out a few tips.

First, let's list the biggies.

 

1.  Check the history!  Was there a tragedy here?  Divorce?  Do the people have money problems?  All these things can be a direct effect of a difficult chart.  This doesn't mean they can't be fixed, but be aware...they need fixing.

2.  Location!  Is it near energy we don't want?  Near a cemetary or a fire station?  Busy street?  Can you smell something strange in the air?   

3.   Age!  Yes, old homes are beautiful and some are wonderfully kept.  However, the older home Feng Shui charts can be difficult to live with.  Check the history of the homeowners.  How did they fare?  If they bought it new and stayed til they died...it has old energy.  This needs to be checked to make sure it can support the energy your clients need.

4.  T Junction Homes are a big NO!  You wouldn't want traffic headed at your front door.  Even if it's slow traffic, it still feels dangerous and that kind of energy isn't good.

5.  Is the house on the outside of a curve?  This is compared to being cut by a knife.  (the road is the knife and it's slicing at the house)  Not good at all, and may be a deal breaker.

6.  Dead trees and/or other landscaping.  Dead trees aren't just dangerous, they're spooky and may give ideas of bad energy.   Weeping willows will often be considered disturbing to clients, because of the weeping feature.  

7.  Ugly neighbors!  Not people, silly!  Ugly neighborhood houses.  See, I told you some things are obvious!

8.  Electric transformers and towers.  Not just ugly, but some studies suggest they're dangerous to live near.

9.  Tree at the front door.  When you look at the house, is a tree blocking the door?  Is a light pole directly in front?  This is "heart piercing sha" and can be a deal breaker if the tree/pole can't be removed.

10.  New neighborhood.  Yes...this is a problem.  New neighborhoods  have someone digging basements, hammering, and generally disturbing the energy around the houses that are completed.  It's NEVER a good idea to be the first in a new neighborhood.

If you're stumped, call in an expert.  Most Feng Shui consultants can do a quick check on Google Earth to tell you where the current good energy is located and whether it's worth showing your clients.    

I do those types of checks regularly for a minimal fee.  As well as checking out the roads and forms, I do a quick chart on the house.  With this I can tell if the house will support the needs of your clients.  

Weeding out the obvious rejects will save both the agent and the buyer lots of time, and shows that the agent cares about the welfare of their clients by consulting a Feng Shui Master from the very beginning.

It is amazing how people who are connected can sense these things.  Of course, a little cleansing can fix many issues, but some obstacles are just too big to overcome.

Absolutely!  In fact, just about everyone can sense energy in one form or another.  You could blindfold a member of the general public, walk them into a room where someone had just had a terrible fight...and they would feel it.  Problem is, most of the time people just don't pay attention.
