Feng Shui & Your Home

school and after a lot of toing and froing with different teachers, I found the perfect school in Germany.

So it complements your Estate Agency?

Absolutely and I have applied the principles to the office to start with. The flow of energy is important and I have made small adjustments that encourage and welcome people in. The Feng

Shui is there, but it’s subtle, it’s not something you can easily see. I have applied some principles to a beautiful house that just wouldn’t sell. It was a good price, well presented, with two good estate agents, and at a time when the market was going well, but no one put any offers forward. The owners came to me but were skeptical to begin with. They allowed me to make some changes to the feel of the house and it looks like we’re about to sell it this week.

What Feng Shui principals would you recommend to those selling their home?

You don’t need a kit to Feng Shui your home and you should look to Feng Shui every month because things change and it’s very personal. Take a children’s bedroom, for example. If a child is hyperactive, perhaps you want a calming place so that they can read, play or sleep easily. For a child that doesn’t move much, perhaps a more stimulating environment is better.

As a general rule, if you really want to sell your property, see it through the eyes of the buyer, change the things you can change, create an open inviting space that utilises the whole home and gives them a chance to fall in love with the property.
