5.0 out of 5 stars This stuff works!, September 6, 2001

By 

Kerry Randall - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sell Your Home Faster with Feng Shui: Ancient Wisdom to Expedite the Sale of Real Estate (Paperback)

I opened this book a very reluctant reader: I just don't go for the feng shui, aromatherapy, crystals, and sychronicity stuff. Don't put much credibility in UFOs or Elvis sightings either. (My wife put me up to reading Sell Your Home FASTER... because she said I would enjoy it and would find it credible. She also said she was going to make some changes around the house and it would be much better for me if I understood why.)
She was right-my attitude has changed. The book is practical, well thought out, well researched, to the point, and a total pleasure to read.
So when I finished the book, Beth and I went about making the changes Holly recommends. (Holly is one of those writers with the gift of making you feel like you know her.) We rearranged a few things, simplified others, and generally, took on a new attitude about how we are inside our house, how we relate to the energy.
Feng shui or no feng shui, it worked. Our house just feels better. There is a difference in the way we feel too. We are more at peace; the house seems more inviting and restful. Our friends notice the difference in the way the house feels. (And most of them aren't kooks!)
Okay, we haven't doubled our income and the Publishers Clearing House van hasn't pulled into our driveway, but, we are more prosperous-we have richer lives. When the day comes to sell our house, I am quite sure we will get another 5-10 percent more than we would have without these feng shui changes (the house looks and feels 15 percent larger).
Great ideas, great book. We bought a second copy and are lending it to others!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bottom Line..., August 27, 2003

By 

Beth deLaney (Calistoga, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sell Your Home Faster with Feng Shui: Ancient Wisdom to Expedite the Sale of Real Estate (Paperback)

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.

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.
