Feng Shui & Real Estate

The Art of Feng Shui Can Improve Your Well Being, Wealth, and Property Value

Is Austin Feng Shui?

Austin became the capitol of Texas in 1839 and, in 1845, Texas became part of the United States. After 2 elections, Austin retained the title of the State Capital and, throughout the years, has been voted as the one of the most desirable cities to live in. So desirable, in fact, that many high-tech companies open branch offices or even move their entire company to Austin. Is this a coincidence or is this fate? From a Feng Shui viewpoint, this is definitely not a coincidence.

During a recent interview with Real Estate Consultant at Realty Austin and Feng Shui Specialist, Ms. Rosalia Chiu, she gave an overview of Real Estate trends in Austin, and what…

Things to Do in Austin for Austinites

Austin is paradise, or as Patton Oswalt put it, a “weird, magical, fairy-bubble of sanity.” We don’t think he’s too far off either. Inevitably, all Austinites run into the same dilemma: You’ve been to every bar on Rainey St. and East 6th more times than you’re comfortable admitting. You love Torchy’s Tacos but your taste buds are thirstin' for a little more adventure. Waterloo is great but it’s probably time to branch out. You even went on a tour of the Capitol that one time when your friend from out of town visited. Been there, done that. So what is there left to do in Austin now? We understand how you feel, so we made it our mission to put together a niche AToX list of things to do in Austin specifically for Austinites. (Don’t know what an Austinite is?…

Things to Do in Austin for Austin Newbies

Living in Austin is hard work. There’s so much to do and only so many hours on the clock. This magical city offers everything from tailgating college football fanatics and popular corporate headquarters to tatted-up hipsters and niche ma-and-pa shops and restaurants. Simply put, there is quite literally something for everyone in Austin. We decided to make it our job to put together a list to prove this theory, thus the creation of our AToX list of things to do in Austin. But after creating our intial list, we felt like something was wrong; local Austinites would think some things were too touristy and newbies would think some things were too niche. Our solution: Create two AToX lists of things to do in Austin; one for the newbies and one for the…
