‘buy-me’ scent.
Another route is to bury a statue of St. Joseph somewhere in the lawn. St. Joseph, one-time husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus, is also the patron saint of real estate sales. One site selling St. Joseph statues intimates that you can sell your house faster if you buy the bigger statue size. One wonders why it is necessary to deep-six an effigy of a saint in order for him to take notice of your house selling woes, but there is no explanation forthcoming from history aside from anecdotes.
Feng shui is a Chinese practice rooted in ancient times. Basically, the idea is arranging objects in one’s life to attract positive energy. However, feng shui also attracts money from people who believe that this practice can help them sell homes. 19.95 buys one information about their element at one website. One feng shui consultant who works in real estate charges 0. An hour. On the plus side, feng shui does encourage people to pay attention to their color scheme and the placement of furniture in the home.
The principles of feng shui may actually work in real estate simply because they encourage people to arrange their house in an uncluttered fashion, with an eye for pleasing colors. Magic spells and astrology, though… are these people genuine, or are they simply taking peoples’ money? The truth is that the efficacy of such things has never been proven. It’s one thing to look at your horoscope for fun; another to hand someone hundreds or thousands of dollars, only to be told that your house didn’t sell because the stars weren’t aligned properly.
In the end, I would urge you to put your faith in a Realtor, whose ‘magic’ you can rely on.
