One of the world's most prominent property moguls, Donald Trump, is conspicuous not only for his outspoken nature and no-nonsense approach to life, but he is well known for his savvy business deals as well.
But what is not widely known, is that he applies Feng Shui principles to business deals as well. Trump was once quoted as saying, "Feng Shui is another element in which you can have the advantage over your competitors. I do not have to believe in Feng Shui. I do it because it makes me money".
Over the past decades, the property industry has developed tremendously. Nowadays, transactions are no longer confined to a properties purchased for one's own dwelling needs.
The real estate scene is booming with all kinds of property investments and transactions that impact the lives of many people.
As a realtor, you can benefit by knowing Feng Shui applications, not only in the home but also in the office or other types of buildings as well.
As more property buyers and sellers discover Feng Shui, it is beneficial for realtors to learn what it is and how it is used. Not only can Feng Shui techniques help realtors provide possible solutions to any concerns that may arise, you can achieve a quicker closing, receive more referrals, increase income and most importantly, have an edge over your competitors.
When a realtor understands the distinct connection between real estate - involving purchasing, selling and developing - and the philosophy of Feng Shui, he will embrace the fact that our living environment can manifest a powerful force that can have an impact on the balance of elements in our lives.
This will then strengthen your understanding of a property's Feng Shui, relating to its Qi or "energy" surrounding that particular property. This knowledge will not only help you in understanding how to "garner" and sustain the energy of the entire property, it will help you identify the property's advantageous features and weaknesses, thus, leading you to possible solutions.
While the nature of Yin and Yang energy in an environment is constantly changing, every realtor should know that there is no such thing as perfect Feng Shui, therefore, this very knowledge will prepare you for the fact that in order to maintain good Feng Shui, you also need to maintain your own energy and thoughts to be of a balanced and positive nature as well.
In real estate, a property's most significant factor is always location, location, location! You can change a home but can you change your environment? The answer is no. While the interior structure can be transformed, the same can't be said for the exterior. It may have limitations or restrictions when it comes to changes but fear not, that's not the end of the world.
With your Feng Shui knowledge, not only do you get to identify the property's imperfections, you can also advise your clients on how best to counter flaws by applying Feng Shui measures.
Another important point is the water feature on a property. Water is considered auspicious. The harmonious flow of water is believed to mirror the invisible Qi currents that swirl around the earth. Bear in mind that the Qi element created by water can either bring an abundance of wealth or it can cause wealth to be drained.
For water to remain pure, it must be constantly flowing and circulating. Moving, changing and flowing is what life is all about. Knowledge is indeed power.
The rule is simple. Acquire properties with good Feng Shui with the following measures:
- identify strengths and weaknesses
- improve existing real estate "value"
- remedy poor Feng Shui conditions
- enhance the Qi
- capitalise on auspicious energy
- create spatial harmony and balance
- attract blessings and good fortune for the right buyer
All that can be achieved with an edge over your competitors with Feng Shui knowledge.
