Using Feng Shui to Sell a Home
January 31, 2010
Feng Shui many may believe is a new fangled way to sell a home and that only special realtors understand this secret concept. However, that would be a misconception. Feng Shui has been around for centuries; the only difference is that the concept has now been westernized, so to speak.
Feng Shui is nothing more than living in harmony with the environment. The concept is that once a person is one with the environment, fascinating or magical things happen. The concept is that if all elements are in place or in balance, the outcome will be the creation of harmony, balance, and peace to attract a buyer.
Chi better known as positive energy flows gently when all elements are in accord or harmonious. When elements are out of balance Chi will either stop or disappear completely.
The flow of Chi is very important to the comfort and well-being of those living in the home and potential buyers. These individuals pick up balance and imbalance. The idea behind the concept of Feng Shui is to create an environment that is harmonious to the both the seller and the buyer. This includes the ability to support the health and good fortune in the way in which objects are placed in the home, the colors used the landscape, and the use of the five elements, which include fire, earth, metal, water, and wood.
The idea behind Feng Shui is to use all five elements to welcome the buyer. This means from the very moment a person walks up to the door they should be greeted by all five elements. If you wish to sell your home, you must have things in balance. The best way to put a buyer at ease is to ensure that you are making them comfortable and the Chi is flowing in each and every room and not running out the door when the door is open. This means if the room is bare the chi will more or less escape. You can have all five elements at the front door but with nothing to stop the positive energy when the buyer walks in the Chi will soon be out the next door. Place items strategically in the rooms and especially in long hallways.
Remember, balance is everything. If you have all five elements in each room of the home, you will be balancing the home and your buyers will be more apt to linger and fall in love with the home.

The Feng Shui master was also a staging expert. It makes sense how creating more space makes you feel relaxed and peaceful, while a crowded house makes you feel so constricted.
