How to Sell Your House Faster, Feng Shui Tips
From a Feng Shui perspective, selling a home quickly is all about creating a space that feels fresh, open, and welcoming, so potential buyers connect with it the moment they step inside. Here’s how to prepare your home energetically and physically for a speedy sale:
1. Clear Old Energy
Before listing your home, perform a simple energy cleanse:
• Open all windows and the main door for at least 30 minutes to allow fresh air and new energy to flow in.
• Mop the floors with salt water, then rinse thoroughly with clean water to avoid stickiness.
• Burn sage to remove lingering negative emotions or stale energy, but avoid doing this right before a viewing, as some people dislike the smell.
2. Manage Mirrors Carefully
Mirrors can disrupt the energy flow of a home, especially near the entrance. Remove or cover mirrors that face the main door. (Read my full guide here: https://tcfengshui.com/mirrors-and-feng-shui/)
3. Make the Main Door Inviting
The main entrance is the “mouth of energy” for the house. Ensure it feels warm and welcoming:
• Keep it clean, bright, and in good repair.
• Oil squeaky hinges, repaint if necessary.
• Place two healthy plants (avoid cactus or thorny plants) on either side of the door to attract positive energy.
4. Use Light to Attract Buyers
Light energizes a space and makes it more appealing:
• Let in as much natural light as possible.
• Use warm lamps to brighten dim corners.
• Keep curtains and blinds fully open during viewings.
5. Mind the Smells
Scents influence how people feel in a space:
• If you still live in the house, change bedsheets regularly—musty smells are an instant turn-off.
• Avoid cooking strong-smelling foods (like garlic or fish) before viewings.
• Open doors and windows beforehand to circulate fresh air.

6. Declutter, Declutter, Declutter
A cluttered home blocks energy and feels heavy:
• Remove excess furniture and personal items.
• Keep surfaces clean and clear.
• Store away anything overly personal so buyers can imagine themselves living there.
7. Create a Pleasant Viewing Experience
Help potential buyers feel comfortable:
• Play soft background music.
• Display fresh flowers for a welcoming scent and look.
• Keep the home cool with fans or air conditioning.
• Offer guests a drink, especially on hot days—it makes a big impression.
8. Thank Your Guardian
In Feng Shui tradition, every home has a guardian:
• Offer incense paper to the Earth God.
• Thank him for protecting your family.
• Inform him you are selling the home and ask for his blessing in finding the right buyer.
A home with good Feng Shui feels balanced and uplifting the moment someone steps inside. When your space is clean, bright, and energetically fresh, the right buyer will be drawn to it and often much sooner than you expect.
