Feng Shui for Home Builders

My name is Jessie Kim and I am a 3rd generation, certified Feng Shui expert that primarily works with developers to improve harmony and balance in their projects.

How Can Feng Shui Help Sell More Homes?

Feng Shui may be 3,000 years old, but it is seemingly more helpful to home builders now than ever.

With growing Asian populations and foreign investors looking to establish residency for visa requirements, designing homes and communities the Feng Shui way is now a requirement in many areas.

Here are a few tips to satisfy their needs:

• Are your premium lots now the last to be sold? Minimize or eliminate cul-de-sacs and find creative uses for corner lots.  These are areas where Feng Shui energy called Chi can be overwhelming to homes.
• Are your historically best-selling floor plans now collecting dust? That’s because they may be missing areas of the Bagua or because they have a toilet in the Wealth or Health areas.
• Use water elements, such as fountains or pools, near the front of the community.  These enhance the Career area of the community and its residents.
• Ensure that front doors don’t open to stairs and don’t line up with a door at the back of the home.  These are very bad for the energy flow.

As a Feng Shui expert and real estate investor myself, I provide Feng Shui services to Fortune 500 real estate developers, home builders, hotel chains and architectural firms (see recent projects).  I have experience with large and small projects, in-growth, senior housing, and affordable housing.

I can help your organization, big or boutique, build a community of harmony and balance for all of its residents, not just Asian buyers.

About Ms. Feng Shui

I am a certified Feng Shui consultant and experienced real estate investor. Through my firm, Ms. Feng Shui, I provide personalized, professional, in-person and virtual Feng Shui consultations and seminars. I specialize in working with real estate, primarily consulting to home builders on new residential development projects.

References from my regular clients are available upon request.  See a list of my recent development projects here.

Confidentiality
I hold all discussions, plans, drawings, and information regarding your business and development in the strictest of confidentiality.

Insurance
My firm is more than adequately insured for most projects.

Feng Shui Certification of Property
Dependent upon the degree of Feng Shui implementation based upon my consultations, I can provide an official Feng Shui certification of the community.  This certification will highlight the various aspects of the property and homes that will provide harmony and balance through Feng Shui.  This can be used as a selling tool and can be put on display in sales offices and model homes.

What’s Included?
I can provide any or all of the following Feng Shui consultation services for new home communities:

Pre-Build Phase

Site Acquisition Consulting
Some home builders involve me as early as the site acquisition process to ensure that the land they look to acquire has positive Feng Shui. I look at the energy flow of a property and particularly focus on its energy flow in the streets, rivers, electrical lines, etc.  I also look at the prior use of the land and the use of the surrounding lots. Though I can virtually always provide cures and remedies in the Feng Shui of bad properties, I will recommend against purchasing a property if it is in the home builder’s best interest. return to top

Naming and Numbering Review
Some names and numbers can have a particularly negative or positive connotation to those familiar with Feng Shui and certain Asian languages. Numbers, in particular, could mean anything from “death” to “infinite prosperity.” Naming is an excellent way to compensate for unavoidable Feng Shui problems in site designs and home designs. To make sure that particular names and numbers used in the project provide for positive Feng Shui for the home builder and future residents, I can remotely review community names, home design names, street names and street numbers. return to top

Architect Training
In order to provide a more efficient solution for the home builder, I can provide training for site, home and landscaping architects. This will minimize the amount of time required in the later design stages in modification of designs without Feng Shui in mind. return to top

Site Design Review
The layout of buildings along streets and the use of open space is quite important to Feng Shui. Often-referenced concerns include corner lots and T-intersections. To make sure that the overall community designs provide for positive Feng Shui for the home builder and future residents, I can provide on-site and remote consultation services to site planners to discuss Feng Shui and its application in building arrangement, open space, hardscaping, streetscaping, etc. I can also provide alternative design suggestions and/or remedies for hazardous elements and can review final site designs. return to top

Home Design Review
Home designs that are auspicious for Feng Shui can be quite complex to achieve. Commonly-known designs that are hazardous include front doors that open to stairs, door alignment, and spiral staircases. To ensure that the individual home designs and layouts offer positive Feng Shui, I can provide on-site and remote consultation services to architects and planners on individual home designs, ensuring that Feng Shui guidelines are met while also being considerate of traffic flow, orientation, height, volume, etc. I can also provide alternative design suggestions and/or remedies for hazardous elements and can review final home designs and layouts. return to top

Landscaping Design Review
Landscaping is an overlooked area to Feng Shui in many new communities. The use of Feng Shui principles can ensure proper flow of energy through the property, but it is also useful to remedy and compensate for unavoidable hazardous elements in the site plan. To make sure that Feng Shui standards are met in general landscaping of the community, I can provide on-site and remote consultation services to landscape architects on general landscaping design to include hardscaping and softscaping, review final landscaping designs, and can perform site visits to make sure implementation is followed. return to top

Site Blessing / Space Clearing
Depending on prior use of a property, lingering energy could be quite negative. A Feng Shui site blessing will clear out potentially negative energy. This is beneficial not only for would-be homeowners, but also to streamline construction. Moreover, this is a phenomenal opportunity to generate some positive public relations and human interest regarding the project. return to top

Post-Build Phase

Model Home Review
Model homes are an opportunity to showcase the attention that the home builder has given to Feng Shui. To ensure model homes are staged to attract customers knowledgeable of Feng Shui, I will provide on-site and remote consultation services on interior paint colors, appliances, etc.  I will also provide on-site and remote consultation services to staging companies on furniture and decorations. Crystals and wind chimes are not required, as more can be accomplished with contemporary designs. The ultimate goal is to ensure homes are appealing to those with knowledge of Feng Shui while not impeding traffic flow, orientation, height, or volume and without making the models look like Chinese restaurants. return to top

Sales Team Training
More important to a home buyer knowledgeable of Feng Shui than the square footage is proper energy flow. To ensure that those working with potential buyers are knowledgeable of Feng Shui, I will provide an on-site training program to include a customized presentation for the home builder’s sales representatives with respect to the community. The goal is to ensure that the sales team can address customers with respect to potentially unavoidable Feng Shui concerns and to also help them upsell upgrades that will benefit Feng Shui buyers. return to top

Opening Blessing / Space Clearing
Much can happen during the build phase of a project. A Feng Shui site blessing can clear out potentially negative energy that lingers prior to opening. This is beneficial not only for would-be homeowners, but also to improve sales. The blessing ceremony is another great opportunity to generate positive media attention, particularly to attract Feng Shui buyers. return to top

Feng Shui Seminars for Prospective Home Buyers
I am available for builder-hosted events where prospective home buyers will be provided a presentation and tour to highlight the Feng Shui aspects of the community and homes. Seminars are available in English, Korean or Chinese. return to top

Public Relations
I can be available for interviews or to walk reporters or public relations staff through the project, as needed.
