Feng Shui for Realtors
by Teresa Marie Marinelli

 

1. The number 4 in Chinese sounds like death. The Chinese tend not to buy a home with this number.
   
   
2. The number 8 in Chinese sounds like money and is very auspicious.
   Double 8 is even more favorable.
   
   
3. Steps leading up to a house are important as it lifts the chi and
   elevates it prior to entry.
   
   
4. Large trees close to the front door can create obstructions in one’s life path and sometimes health related problems.
   
   
5. Properties that slop down in the back allow chi to run off and escape. This can equate to financial loss.
   
   
6. Angled entries represent unexpected events that are typically not favorable.
   
   
7. Water in the front of the house or a view of water is very favorable as it represents abundance and prosperity.
   
   
8. Water traditionally behind the house can mean financial loss. As in ancient times water could get out of control and unmanageable causing flooding and financial loss.
   
   
9. A mountain or hill behind the house is recommended providing support to the occupants.
   
   
10. A mountain, hill or other large obstruction to the front of the house is not advised as it prevents fortune and opportunities to flow to the occupants as they cannot see the opportunities in advance.
