Home Staging with Feng Shui - Helpful People Are Waiting

In staging a home with Feng Shui, one of the most important areas is the 'Helpful People' corner.  This corner represents the ability of the homeowner to allow the Realtor, Mortgagor, Inspector, Appraiser, etc - help the Buyer be able to easily purchase the home.  It is important that this area of the house be clutter free, and it is a GREAT area to set specific intentions of selling the house quickly!

To find it, walk in the front door, and go the far right hand corner of the home - on the same side as the front door.  It may be your garage - that is OK - it still counts!  I like to have clients set affirmations in this area, and we follow up with a sacred mantra or prayer to ensure success.
Want to expedite the sale of a home?  Find this corner and allow it to work for you!

Home Staging with Feng Shui Hits the Banking News



I was a banker - a Vice Priesident with Chase Manhattan Bank for 13 years.  During that time, I was actually a Commercial Real Estate Appraiser for the bank - we estimated value for construction loans.  For people like Donald Trump, among many.  While I considered myself a banker at the time, the other 1/2 of my life, I considered myself a Yogi.  Never did I realize how the two would meet until I met Feng Shui. Feng Shui combined both of these loves of mine into one.  Reading the energy, feeling harmony, in real estate!  I've been a Feng Shui consultant for 17 years now, and, from early on, I began helping people to get their homes ready to sell, quickly - with Feng Shui. It was only recently that I realized what I was doing was helping them stage their homes - thus, the birth of Staging with Feng Shui.
While certainly staging helps immensely with selling a home (who wants to buy a home with no style, clutter all over, and horrible colors on the walls?)....I have found that the addition of Feng Shui is like turning the magic key.  Many times a complete re-design doesn't even occur - but the energy work is.
Clear Space
People feel most at home, most natural, when they are at peace and have a sense of being one with nature.  Feng Shui helps to bring that essence into the environment.

Happy Client's Words

Frank McKinney: Testimonial for Carol Cannon

I met Carol in the mid ‘90’s, when I had one of my early oceanfront spec homes on the market. It had been on the market for longer than usual. 

Always open to new marketing initiatives, I learned of Carol and called and asked her to come to see if there was anything that might be hindering a sale. 

Honestly, I was not sure what I was getting into and was even a bit apprehensive, to my delight, Carol provided a detailed list of easily accomplishable changes to make.  I followed through with her recommendations, and a short time later the house was sold! 

This started my wife Nilsa’s and my relationship with Carol who consulted with us on several of our oceanfront creations afterwards, including our personal home.  

Carol is a professional who makes the Feng Shui process clear to understand, with simple steps to adjust the surroundings, which results in a more peaceful, harmonious and success filled environment.  

I highly recommend anyone contact Carol for an analysis of their real estate – she’ll help you set the stage to accomplish your goals.

Seeing the Light

Our 'Higher Power' reaches out for us and often we don't 'see'. A couple months ago, I was 'disappointed' that my condo association provided 'light' at the dark side of my condo. This morning, while reading about the Enneagram, in Maurice Nicolle's V. 1 Commentaries on Gurdjieff & Oespensky...he commented that our higher self will reach a point where 'the light' comes on, and it is up to us to recognize this opening. He cross references this to the Bible, in Genesis, where 'God' said 'let there be light.' Most, says Nicoll, will not recognize it.

Soon after the light behind my condo came on, and, my condo President insisted that it had been there before (and I didn't see it), I watched the 2 trees that I love outside my screened porch, lose all their leaves and, I thought, they were 'dying'. A few weeks later, I noticed little buds on them, and yet, still 'worried' about the tree - as I live in FL and haven't watched trees losing their leaves and regenerating so quickly.  So, I didn't trust this death and re-birth process.  A week later, I was meditating on the porch one morning.  There had been a heavy thunder and rain shower the night before.  When I opened my eyes, I witnessed 'a miracle' - both trees were in full bloom, as strong and beautiful as ever.



It was at this point I realized how life can take us into darkness, where one might feel there is no escape.  Yet...it is not the nature of nature to leave us in the darkness.  We are always being shown 'the light' - we just have to slow down and recognize it.  Our higher power - whatever we call it and recorded in many esoteric books for centuries, always is waiting, hopeful, that we will 'see the light'.

How have you 'seen the light'?

3- years on the market - a little Feng Shui - and SOLD

I'm very excited as a past client from long ago called me a few months ago for help in selling her condo on the beach in South Florida.  She had it listed for 3+ years - and nothing happened!!!!  The home was beautiful, really, not much wrong from a staging point of view.  However...several things were 'out of balance' from a Feng Shui point of view!  We implemented the shifts, placed some specific objects that I use to sell homes quickly (based on my training from Chinese masters), set intentions for a rapid sale - with furnishings - and I then advised her to let go of any attachment to her home (now called 'house'). 

We had numerous contacts, I kept advising her to stay calm, centered, trusting and know that the condo would sell soon.  Suddenly, she received an offer, quickly negotiated to contract, and within 3 months of our consultation, the condo was closed.  It happened so fast that she and her husband are now living in rented temporary space until the renovation of their new, downsized condo (which I am helping them with) is complete.  They did lose almost all of their initial investment, but, walked away with $50,000 in their pocket after all expenses - and this was on an original purchase of almost $2 million at the height of the market.  They are ecstatic, as their carrying costs were overwhelming, the market has been horrible for this price range, and all along, I encouraged them to focus on selling without losing any further money.

Feng Shui works.  It works even better with a home that is staged.  Most important is the Seller's attitude.  What they think, will materialize.  Now on to meet with other clients in Palm Beach County who just put their home on the market this week and already have an offer!

One Happy Feng Shui Client

Feng Shui is all about proper placement to direct energy to it's highest and best use.  Many times I am approached in public places by people asking me if they should put a fountain here, or add some wind chimes there.  I often feel like the doctor who is at an event and someone comes up to him/her asking how to heal their foot!  As you might guess, it is not possible for me to answer your questions in the moment, without focusing on you and your surroundings and/or reviewing pictures/floor plans, or, ideally, physically being at your space to see what is going on in your home or office.

With that said....it is always a great idea to schedule a follow up appointment with me to verify that what you have actually placed in your environment, is correctly done.  It's only human nature, that we hear one thing, when something slightly different was actually meant.

Here is an example of a happy client, whose store I just happened to drive by one afternoon.  I immediately saw that they had followed through with my Feng Shui suggestions for a 'cure'.  The physical objects were there, but....they were in the wrong place!  This video will show you that sometimes just a slight movement will create an enormous difference!


If things seem slightly off, make sure you have your adjustments in the precisely proper place! For more information about how you can receive your own complimentary 15 minute telephone consultation, Click here.
