< About Selling Real Estate
To put the best face on a listing and appeal to buyers who follow feng shui
principles, keep these tips in mind.
- Pay special attention to the front door, which is considered the
“mouth of chi” (chi is the “life force” of all things) and one of the most
powerful aspects of the entire property. Abundance, blessings, opportunities,
and good fortune enter through the front door. It’s also the first impression
buyers have of how well the sellers have taken care of the rest of the
property. Make sure the area around the front door is swept clean, free of
cobwebs and clutter. Make sure all lighting is straight and properly hung.
Better yet, light the path leading up to the front door to create an
inviting atmosphere.
- Chi energy can be flushed away wherever there are drains in the home.
To keep the good forces of a home in, always keep the toilet seats down and
close the doors to bathrooms.
- The master bed should be in a place of honor, power, and protection, which
is farthest from and facing toward the entryway of the room. It’s even better
if you can place the bed diagonally in the farthest corner. Paint the room
in colors that promote serenity, relaxation, and romance, such as soft
tones of green, blue, and lavender.
- The dining room symbolizes the energy and power of family togetherness.
Make sure the table is clear and uncluttered during showings. Use an
attractive tablecloth to enhance the look of the table while also softening
sharp corners.
- The windows are considered to be the eyes of the home. Getting the windows
professionally cleaned will make the home sparkle and ensure that the view
will be optimally displayed.
