Feng Shui can help buyers find – and attract – the right home for them.

The first home on which my clients made an offer. Bad Feng Shui for them from the start.

The first home on which my clients made an offer. Bad Feng Shui for them from the start.

Here is a story of a client with whom I recently worked.

A few weeks ago my client called – very excitedly – having found a home they wanted to purchase. They called and left a message telling me they were going to want me to look at the home. It was in Southern California and I’m in Northern California. Not a big deal with air travel easily accessible.

When I finally reached them in person, they had already made an offer on the home. They told me they had written in the offer a contingency that “their Feng Shui Master says the home has good Feng Shui for them.”

They gave me the address and I immediately got on the internet. Knowing the couple, what has happened in their lives and what they wanted for the future, I told them it wasn’t a good home for them. I saw they would be dealing with lawyers and having lots of legal issues with which to contend.

They were shocked! I had nailed it! In the brief time between making the offer and when we had connected and I started the process – about 36 hours – they where in the throws of negotiation with the 8 children who were heirs to their parent’s estate. Some of the children wanted the home for themselves and didn’t really want the home sold. Others didn’t want to keep it, desiring the monetary inheritance instead.

What a mess it was! But my clients heard me and took appropriate action.
