Feng Shui and Real Estate: A Realtor DISCOURAGING a Purchase in New York?

Hello Carole,
I'm betting all the good information you have been providing plays into the decision of the Realtor to call you.

I have had clients pass over a home due to principles of feng shui... sometimes, things can be changed and it is great.. other times it is good to move on... I think it would be great to have someone like you help buyers evaluate a particular home.

Carole..i like your philosophy..It is so fasinating..I learn so much from you..Thank you

...and that's what I like about you Carole! The belief that there is very little that the power of positive thinking and intention cannot overcome. I appreciate the fact that you do not allow negativity to sway you to the negative side.  Darkness is simply the absence of light. Once light is shown on darkness, there is nothing to fear! GREAT post, and I can see why the agent called on you for assistance!

Carole:  intruiguing post Since we and things are all energy anyway, it would make sense that rearrange the atoms as in a room, using the principles of Feng Shui, could improve any situation. Namaste

Carole,

thanks for sharing this refreshing story....it replenishes my spirit when I hear about people in my business who genuinely care for the best interests of their clients..

Hi Carole, Jeff just told a couple earlier this summer his thoughts about why they should not buy a home (had to do with market comps) they were also surprised we would say that in this market...as we were not their 1st set of REALTORS. In the long run, a few months later they got a better home (condition) that was bigger (sf) for less $ than the 1st.

If you are in it for the long run and you have reservations yourself, for whatever reason - our due diligence is to share that information as we are to represent the best interests of our clients.

Great post

Sincerely,

Grace

Hi Carole, There is little a positive attitude cannot overcome.  I love to hear that a property with negative energy can be turned around with the new client's love of the property and a space clearing.  Interesting - but it makes complete sense.

There's a Realtor with integrity who's puting her client's best interests above her own.

Keep working with that one!

Carole--There are times when I must bite my tongue when a client loves a home but it is not what I think is a good fit. It is their home and choice. I can offer suggestions on where problems could arise but if a client has their heart set on a home, I doubt I would talk them out of the property based on what I believe. As you said, love of a home can transform and overcome many short comings. Did you do the consult? What was the result?

Carole - After nearly 28 years in the business, I've come to believe that certain houses do have a certain energy about them.  And it affects the way we feel and exist in them.  I also have a little superstitious belief about houses which are "6" houses.  That's where the house numbers all add up to 6 using numerology.  I've seen some of the most difficult of circumstances come to people who have lived within these homes.  I also know that asian clients sometimes love houses that are "8"s.

I'm confused.

Don't these two say the same thing except in different words:

She wanted to have a Feng Shui Consultant on hand, she told me, because a prospective buyer had looked at a home on Long Island in the town of Old Westbury in the famed Gold Coast of Long Island and she felt the home would have a negative effect on her particular client.

This is a total reversal from what I hear from most Real Estate Agents who dread the thought of calling in a Feng Shui Consultant for fear they will be told the home or business they are interested in would not be a beneficial move for them.

Hi Carole-I think realtors are missing out if they don't work with a feng-shui consultant. There is so much positive benefit. <SMILE>

Hi Carole: This is a very important subject, from my perspective. A couple of weeks ago, I had clients, a young couple, who were seriously thinking of purchasing a home where the previous owner had become despondent and had committed suicide. I did not feel it would have been in the client's best interest to purchase the home, but they were insistent they wanted it UNTIL they got home and developed the pictures they took inside and saw ORBS. I was so happy, for their sake, that they saw the orbs, only because it discouraged them. I did not think this would be a happy home and did not wish to be part of a transaction that I felt would be ill advised, but I would have written up the offer if they had INSISTED because people have free will and can make their own decisions.

Hi Carole, we will work with you anytime. We are not afraid to tell our clients what we think. Eileen and I work together and sometimes her Chinese buyers/sellers are very feng shui oriented, so I think I can get the ideas of it often.

Carole, why wasn't this post featured? :)

There is NO downside with FS application.

[I have seen the most depressed and "sad" properties turn completely around based on two things-Space Clearings and a Client's LOVE of their new home or business and a positive attitude.]

Exactly.
