Feng Shui Tips – Part 4 – Curb Appeal

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

In Part 4 of Madonna’s Feng Shui Tips Madonna shares some Feng Shui Tips regarding how you may use Feng Shui to improve the “curb appeal” of your home and/or make your home more attractive, more comfortable and more balanced:

Here is a exercise that may be very revealing and make you see your home in a new light.

Take photos of the front of your home. (photos are very important you will see thing in photos that you do not normally see).

Start at the curb and take pictures as if you are a potential buyer.

We all view our homes with our emotions and it is hard to see it the same way a stranger would.

By doing this exercise you will be able to make the improvement that are needed. Not only for the sale of your home if you are wanting to do so …

But also for feng shui, it is very important to keep the front of your home clean and in good repair.

The placement of the front door is of extreme importance in feng shui.

The positions of the front door and the stove are the most important aspects in feng shui.

The size of your front door should be in keeping with the size of your house.

If the front door is overly large compared with the size of the house your fortunes will suffer.

If it is too small, ch’i is constricted and there will be disagreements in the family.

REMEDY Any shars that may be afflicting your front door.

This is the most important single aspect of feng shui.

Look for angled roof lings of neighboring houses, straight lines, streetlight poles, a single tall tree, and anything sharp, angled, pointed  or straight.

For instance, if your home is facing a T-junction you will need to make the road that heads towards your front door “disappear.”

A pa-kua mirror above the front door will do this.

Fences and trees can also create an effective remedy.

For those of you out there that are starting to get your home more attractive, more comfortable and more balanced, I hope my Feng Shui tips will help!

Testimonial – Real Estate Staging

Sunday, June 7th, 2009
Real Estate Owned (REO)

The Testimonial for Real Estate Staging on the sale of the home in Palm Bay.

For those of you that do not know this …

I just sold my own home! :)

This is a great story because it is a perfect example that Staging works.

My home that sold was a villa.

It was not in foreclosure and it was not a short sale.

We just wanted to move closer to my husbands work.

Being a villia it had two other one on the same street for sale that was just like it.

and …

The other two were well under my asking price.

The Realtor had wanted us to lower the price, but we said no!

So I asked my husband if he really wanted to move. Now I mean REALLY !!!!!!!!.

He looked at me and like I was crazy and said “Yes”.

So …

I told him them I was going to get serious about selling it.

So …

I started Staging it.

I walked through it with the eyes I use if I were at work on a clients home.

I staged the home and I made a Real Estate Marketing Flyer (that you can also get from me for your home).

And …

In just three weeks the house was sold! :)

My realtor and the buyers realtor could not believe it!

But both now see Staging in a new light! ;)

By the way I did not lower my price!
