“Feng shui”(风水) is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics believed to use the laws of both Heaven (astronomy) and Earth (geography) to help one improve life by receiving positive “Qi” (energy).

This sounds like it has no relationship with our real estate service, but a couple years ago, I helped one young couple buy a condo for their first home, and I realized how important it is to understand “feng shui.” As a real estate agent, you can serve your clients better.

I was helping this young couple, several years ago, to find condos they liked. After several months searching, we finally found one that really fit their wish list. We signed a contract. Very early the next morning, the wife called me and wanted to cancel the contract. I was shocked and asked, “what’s happening? It was very happy yesterday night when you both signed the contract.”

She told me after that, they went home, and right away began drawing the unit layout for their feng shui specialist to check and see if it was fit for their health. The feng shui specialist found that the direction of the entrance of the unit would hurt her husband’s health if they lived there, so they decided to cancel the deal.

So, I began to study the feng shui basic theory. I learned that ancient Chinese feng shui are very concerned about how to make each individual human living area fit the natural environment.

If your living area is a fit nature environment, it can improve your health, getting positive energy. If it is the opposite way, your living area will hurt your health and damage your family’s harmony.

In astronomy, there is nature movement, energy, etc. Some are invisible, but they really exist. Human beings are one of them, so we should respect nature, getting a fit nature-harmony way to live. Then, it will improve your health, your family harmony, and your wealth.

After that, I called the seller’s agent and seller to explain the feng shui, and how import it was to my clients. The unit was very nicely remodeled. My clients liked the unit, and the building as well, but the unit’s entrance direction was not fit for the husband’s health. They would spend a lot of their lifetime living there, and it would cost them in health problems. So, they can only choose to give it up. After my explanation, the seller and seller’s agent began to understand my clients’ cancellation.

After several months researching condos fitting for her husband’s health, we finally found one. They were so happy and gave me a compass as a gift. I know it means I should learn more about feng shui, I can serve the people better.

This feng shui compass is to direct each individual to live in a healthy, harmonious environment

“风水”学是中国古代对天，地，人体在宇宙中相互适应的一门学说，相互的协调生存环境下，人可以得到更多自然的能量，也就是健康长寿，家庭和睦，生意兴隆。这听起来与我们的房产销售工作没有多大的关系。直到几年前我为一对年轻的夫妇购买他们的第一所公寓时，我才真正认识到，懂得一点“风水”知识，对一个房产经纪人是多么的重要，可以向客户提供更好的服务。

那是几年前我为一对年轻的夫妇代理他们的第一套公寓，经过数月的寻找，他们终于看中了一套，当晚他们签订了合约。可是，第二天一早，他的妻子就打电话给我，要求解除合同。我非常茫然地问她“昨天晚上你们不是很高兴签约了吗？”她随即告诉我当晚回家后，他们马上画了公寓的草图并给他们的“风水”先生，让他检验这个公寓是否有利于他们的健康。结果是该公寓的进门方向对他的丈夫健康不利。所以，他们决定解除合约。

我马上着手开始学习有关“风水”的基础理论，我明白了“风水”所说的原理来自人，天，地的关系。在宇宙里的万物万事，都是互相联系，互相依赖，互相排斥的运动，我们人类也是其中的一份子，所以，每一个人生活环境就要适应自然存在，如果你的居住的环境与自然要求的相适应，你就会得到良好的能量，就能使你健康，家庭和睦，事业发达，反之，就会给你的健康带来麻烦，家庭纠纷频繁，等等的恶运。在此之后，我就打电话告诉卖方的经纪人和卖方，我的买方解除合约的原因不是他们的公寓有问题，而是“风水”上，这个公寓只对我的买方带来健康的麻烦。又向他们解释了“风水”的原理，最后他们终于理解了买方的要求，解除了合同。

经过几个月再搜索，我为他们终于找到了适应他们健康的“风水”公寓，他们非常的满意，并且，还送我一个专门用于“风水”的“指南针”。我明白他们是想让我在今后的工作中用“风水”的原理，为客户提供更好的服务。
