Hiya, most of you would have bought or sold your house some time in the past. Was wondering if any of you can share some experience what you encounter that buyers or sellers will go through before buying or selling the property? I will start the ball rolling by sharing some of my own experience.
1) The supernatural factor : Of all this is the most odd for me. Was selling off my old unit in Yishun way back in the 90s. 1 buyer brought a young baby to see the house. At first I thought nothing of it maybe he could not find a babysitter or just wants to bring his kid along. All was as per normal until the baby started crying and suddenly he poped this question " Is your house haunted ? " . I was taken aback usually buyers would ask about the price, any facilities nearby like MRT, school, market etc..... I looked at him with the ARE YOU SERIOUS expression and he did not blink I mean come on this is a 3 room pigeon hole what ghost? So I told him no but somehow he was not convince. After he left my wife told me that that baby is used as a ghost detector
.
2) The Feng Shua factor : 1 time this buyer brought this Feng Shua master to see my house. Some of the stuff he say kind of makes me think is he really telling the truth. Let me share with you some of the comments.
a) Standard HDB window grills look like prison bars must remove and change to the flowery type if not you will feel like you are trapped in your own home and forever want to leave.
b) Remove the false ceiling because it will put a put an invisible force on your shoulders and you will feel forever tired and stress.
c) TV too close to the door and window the electro energy will draw roaming spirits and bad luck. Shift the TV and HIfi to the dinning area and move the dinning area to the kitchen.
d) Bathroom tiles all white like a morgue must change to other color.
Finally 3) The Ask Everybody Factor : After 1 month suddenly I got neighbors from upstairs, next door and a few floors down asking me if I had sold my unit. I mean I didn't even tell anybody how the heck did everybody find out. Later 1 of them told me that people have been knocking at their doors and asking them if my house got any problem like loanshark, structure, crappy neighbors etc.....
