Feng Shui Guide to Selling Properties Part 1 - Jan Cisek

As you know, there are many ways of pronouncing Feng shui and I think there's many ways to do Feng shui. And so what, what I'm going to present is just one way. And my sort of definition of how feng shui works is very simple, is intention plus energy plus ritual. So you're just talking about intention, but really the key aspect, obviously most people are aware of energy, chi and so on, but intention is the key because that's the starting point. If you don't have an intention, it doesn't matter what you're going to do. Yes. So, and the key thing behind intention is your imagination. I love Einstein Albert's quotes and he actually mentioned imagination a lot. He actually said that imagination is more important than knowledge because it comes from imagination. And so this short quote kind of exemplifies what can be done with Feng shui when you start to utilize your imagination, your intuition. There's another good quote, actually, I didn't want to put too many quotes there. There are two ways to live. You can live as if nothing is a miracle and you can live as if everything is a miracle. So it's up to us how we choose. So that's a key thing behind feng shui. I think now we all look for silver bullets to solve problems. And selling houses with Feng shui is actually quite easy. Obviously there are lots of different factors and we are going to cover some of them. But the examples I'm going to give you were just one or two things people did and the property sold very quickly. And these are the houses that had problems with selling. So there are different factors affecting the sell market. Obviously not really in our control location. If you buy a place in the right place, I don't think you have a problem selling. And then price, obviously you've got some control. And then the estate agents and online agencies. So these are sort of things that we might control, might not control, but they're feng shui things that are within our power to control. And over the last, I don't know, been doing it for too long now. For the last 20 odd years, I've looked at probably 10,000 houses and I don't know how many I help to sell. There are three or four things that stand out that make a difference when people try to sell a place. One of them is geopathic stress. If you've got geopathic stress, difficult to sell a place because even if people don't know about geopathic stress, they walk into a place and they feel uneasy because we all pick it up. We're all sensitive to geopathic stress. So sort out geopathic stress. The next thing is ghosts. How many people believe in ghosts? Okay, so for people who don't believe in ghosts or skeptical about the whole subject, you understand what I'm talking about five minutes after you die. And if you don't want to wait that long. If you don't want to wait that long, there are actually a scientist who have proven your soul has been proven scientifically. There's a Russian scientist called Dr. Korotkov. If you go and Google him, I think his website is korotkov.org a long time ago. He's proven because he actually look at people process of dying, how they die. And he's proven that we all have a soul scientifically proven. A lot of the conventional science hasn't noticed. And Rachel was talking about places have souls and so on. But we have a soul, that's why we seek places that have a soul. And if that goes. And my definition of ghost is somebody who died but kind of got stuck. People don't like that word they use entities or spirits. But I like the sort of old fashioned word and they can cause problems. I had lots of stories. This one comes to mind. It was a long time ago and actually there are two people in this audience who are participating in this sale. So I got this call and there was a house on sale in Blackheath in London and it was on sale for a year and nobody actually came to look at it. And they were changing stage. They were paying about 4,000 pounds per advert in big sort of because it was a huge. It was about £2 million house, big sort of adverts in major magazine. Nobody called. So finally we got there and the first thing I noticed was there was eight ghosts. And basically what they were saying is that when we here nobody moves in. Okay. So I thought well that's quite easy. So I've got my team of kind of invisible helpers but also I've got a physical team and there's two guys there, Bogdan and Gay. And I didn't do energy work and Bogdan is going to speak after lunch. I called them just to make sure that I can deal with this. Eight ghosts. But I want to make some money because I put up the price, about 80,000 just to make it. And I'm going to talk about the price, the numbers of the price. So I was kind of justified to ask that if I help to sell this place in a month, which is reasonable because it wasn't selling for years. Now I ask for £8,000 because £1,000 for each ghost. So that was. So we set a meeting on Friday and sorry, on Thursday, sorry on Thursday. And I was going to come and we write a contract that you know, within a month if it sells, they give me £8,000. Good deal. And then I called Gay and Bern and said like once I'm the contract we'll do the work and you know, we'll split the profit. Good. So on Wednesday they phoned and they canceled the meeting. They said sorry, but something has come up, can we move it to Friday? Which is fine with me. And I know that sometimes when you work with a ghost they kind of cause trouble. So I kind of expected, but I didn't took notice. I should have. On Thursday evening they phoned and they cancelled the whole thing because they sold the house on Thursday. And I said how do you sell? Somebody walked from the street and there was no sign and bought the house like this. I said well that's strange. So I called this guy, have you done any clearing? I said no, we're waiting for your call. And then I check we all cleared it subconsciously before we even showed up. So the moment you have the intention it starts to work immediately. So they were not nice people. Didn't give me £8,000 because I didn't have the conscience. But I've got some eight ghosts there that are quite happy now. So probably that will work out. So that's that big part of working with this is the owners big part and especially attachment to the property. People attach to the property, they will do all kinds of things to not sell it. Good example is fear, uncertainty and doubt. You need to deal with those three aspects. You need to clear any fear, any uncertainty, any doubt. It was this lady and her house was on the market for about four years now. That's a long time. Beautiful house, nothing wrong. Feng shui wise. It was in Winslow Green and basically she was downsizing children moved out, traditional normal sort of point of sale. And she wanted to get a new place but she couldn't sell the place because she was sabotaging every sale. I don't know how she's doing but it wasn't selling. So I told her three things to do. The first thing I said is to bake a cake, her favorite cake. That will change the energy. The next thing we sat down literally for 15 minutes and clarified where she going to move, what sort of new house she's going to buy. And the third thing was we Sort out the price it sold next day. So tell me which bit was a critical bit?

Find the new place.

Find the new place. She didn't know where she was going. She was really completely clueless about where she's going. So it just sort out the same area, smaller house, the same kind of position. She felt comfortable that thing next day she sold it immediately. So just that aspect will obviously predecessor Chi and Rachel mentioned already check that that will tell you you can always change it. Sometimes you can't. I've been to maybe a few places that I couldn't change and I suggested to people just move. It was easier to move than. And maybe there are other factors. I don't know how many people feng shui consultants selling places on a regular basis. Do you have any sort of insights? What else matters that stands out for you? One thing. The entrance. The entrance, yeah.

Owners getting divorced and blocking each other.

The corners. Yeah. Owners, yeah.

Blocking divorce.

Divorce, yeah.

People getting fixed on a new place where they have to have a certain amount of money to move in and then they won't negotiate on the sale.

Anybody else? So there. But again, basic things, you know, you sort those out and places sell quite quickly. So I think I've said enough about the intention. But put your house in order. So fix things. You know, Michael mentioned clutter. Just clear clutter. It's one simple thing. Places sell almost immediately. Fix things. So people, when people come in, they give them conference. I mean the success of those programs, you know, the house doctors, they just sort out the most basic things. So places look kind of appealing and attractive. Plan everything. Just the intention of planning your planning will help. Now obviously these tips are for selling the house, but you can also apply them to buying and start looking for the next home. And don't tell everyone about it because sometimes can jeopardize sometimes your intention. If you start to disperse your energy, it might actually work against you. So tell obviously people. You tell neighbors, you know, that's good because they might buy. Actually recently, last week, two weeks ago, I helped to sell one place with very simple. I run through all those things and I mentioned to this lady, oh, make sure that you mention to neighbors. And literally an hour later she bumped into her neighbor and she sold her the place like this. Maybe if she didn't think about it, maybe she wouldn't do it. But it worked. So there's actually a very interesting talk on Ted. Do you watch Ted? Ted.comt-ed.com Check it out. It's one of the best online Kind of places for inspirational talks. And there's a talk about why you shouldn't tell everybody about your goals. And the guy is called Derek Sivers S I V E R S so you need to contain the energy. Again, it's a question of yin and yang balance. Now put a deadline that helps because you need to measure whether actually whatever you're doing is working. You know, don't do everything at once. Do one or two things and see whether it's working. So from management courses, smart purpose, be specific, measurable, achievable and real in time. So, so that if the place has installed within three months and that's a kind of measure of how energy changes because it changes with seasons, something's wrong. Usually places when the. When you do some basic things, you start within two weeks a month. Obviously it depends also on the market. So you need to take that into account. So start to and commit yourself. That's another thing. When people, you mentioned couples, when they commit themselves, it sells. If somebody's doubting, get fears and so on, that can jeopardize the sale. Now price with this simple thing and people love it because usually I encourage people to put up the price. The price. When it's divisible by nine, it's got the vibration of completion. Nine, the last digit has a nice sort of vibration of completion. So if it's divisible and the easiest way to figure out who does sort of calculating is adding up all the digits. So 8, 1 and 9 comes to 9, just adding until comes to 9. But if it's not possible, sometimes not possible, then include nines in the price and dows. If you're not sure in no dowsing, just dows to see whether it's the right price.
