“The house attacked my baby - no way will we go there”
This was the comment of a house hunter, who’s child had an encounter with a rose bush on the way down the garden path. Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference.
A Broken Gate and a Thorny tree
When the house in the picture was for sale, it too giving visitors the wrong welcome.
On a first visit, people always come to the front door. The problem here is that when the gate was opened, visitors were suddenly left holding the weight of the gate because the hinge was broken. As this was unexpected, they were caught off balance and thrown into the large thorny bush that was growing right beside the gate.
First impressions are so important
- and this was totally the wrong one to be giving out. The vendors never knew this, because they always used the back door. It was a Feng Shui evaluation that brought it to light.
Feng Shui recommendations
Cut down the thorny tree, and fix the hinge on the gate - among many others.
