When I hear people describe the day they found their new home, they usually say something like: “I knew when I walked in I was home. It just felt right.” Creating that feeling of “just right” is what feng shui staging is all about.
In today’s “seller’s” market in Denver—low inventory and a plethora of homebuyers—you may not think you’ll need to do anything to prepare your home for sale. However, according to the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA), staged homes sell 72{bcd7a32024365f1dd5b9701ff84b1cb605ceaa8a12bf744ef4b452d2f6b968a0} faster than unstaged homes and often attract multiple offers, usually resulting in a higher sales price.
Let’s assume you’d like to get the most value for your home with the least disruption to your life (e.g., not holding a lot of showings while attracting the right buyers within a set time frame). Feng shui staging can help you achieve that goal, while making the entire selling and moving process a lot less stressful.
Feng Shui teaches us how to enhance our environments to reach our goals. In “Feng Shui Staging for Home Sellers,” you’ll learn how to:
- Prepare your home and your family – mindfully — for the transition.
- See your home through “feng shui eyes” and make adjustments using the “Golden Rule.”
- Use feng shui tools like the Bagua, the Five Elements, and Yin/Yang balance to energize the spaces in your home and help potential buyers experience that “just right” feeling.
- Make your home memorable in the field of competition.
Feng shui staging for home sellers can be done with traditional home staging recommended by your Realtor®. Your Realtor® will help you to set the correct price for the market after you’ve reviewed comparable sales and competition in your neighborhood.
