[.ca] Sell Your Home Faster with Feng Shui: Ancient Wisdom to ... (ISBN 0971065284)

The Mystical and the Practical:
Ms Ziegler's book is a very smooth and welcoming introduction to the essential principles of Feng Shui and the way they apply to keeping, managing and presenting a home to ourselves and to others. Much of her advice is simply practical - but often ignored. How many of us make sure all the little things work, spaces are well lit and aired? This attention to detail, in combination with the placement of objects so as to make a home harmonious, are the keys to evoking in the buyer that sense of security and longing that triggers the decision to buy. Everyone sells their home one day, but this book reminds us not to wait until that moment to pull things together. Its suggestions for selling are equally good guidance for daily living. Feng Shui practices are meant to add consciousness to our lives in our households - and this is a welcoming presentation of theory, practice and anecdote to make that transition an enjoyable and enlivening one.

The Bottom Line...:
Okay, here's the bottom line: I bought the book. My house had been on the market for four months. I had tried everything (lowered the price twice), fired one agent, hired another, offered incentives, I was about ready to pray to some Catholic saint in charge of selling homes and my real estate agent said, "buy this book." So I did. I did the stuff the quack author recommended (cost me about $$$ and two days of my time) and four days later, the first person to see the house after I made the changes, wrote an offer for full price. I'm not into miracles. Guess that does not matter. The house is now sold. That's the bottom line. Do I recommend this book? Only if you want to sell your house.

Sell Your Home FASTER with FENG SHUI:
As a Feng Shui Consultant, I met Holly Ziegler at a FS conference. I literally purchased one of the first books off the presses. We were planning to put our house on the market. I read the book, followed Ms Ziegler's suggestions, our house sold in HOURS! I now incorporate these practices when working with clients who are selling homes (and businesses) and have had great success. Ms Ziegler is right on the mark. Cheers rhb

McFengshui strikes again.:
Another two-day wonder of the feng shui world writes a book that rehashes the advice realtors normally give to clients (before "feng shui" became a meme). The fact that the author reviewed her own book is particularly remarkable. That Lin Yun wrote something is not remarkable, because his dictum is that all of his students should write books about what his church sells as feng shui. Most realtors are simply waiting for this fad to pass.

A FANTASTIC WAY TO START THE YEAR ...:
I RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT A FEW MONTHS BACK ... BECAUSE I AM INTERESTED IN FENG SHUI I READ IT IMMEDIATELY ... YES I BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD BE INVALUABLE FOR THOSE SELLING THEIR HOME ... BUT ALSO FOR REAL ESTATE AGENTS TO GIVE TO THEIR CLIENTS ... BUT IT IS SUPRISINGLY USEFUL TO EVERYONE TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIVING IN THEIR HOME ... I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND THIS BOOK ...
