Real Estate Agents Turn To Home Clearers

I ran across this interesting article in The Denver Post about real estate agents turning to “Home Clearers” in an effort to move homes stuck on the market.  No, these home clearers should not be confused with people who stage homes for showing, rather these work more in the spiritual realm.

Home clearers market their abilities to remove negative vibes from a home on the market, allowing potential home buyers to receive good vibes and be more willing to put in an offer.  I can just hear the commercial jingles now in tune with the old Ghostbuster’s anthem, “Who you gonna call? Home clearers!”

The Post article even referenced one such home clearer, David Stevens, who upon entering his client’s property claimed to “feel the resentment seeping in from the older property next door.”  I know it’s a tough market, but that’s a bit of a stretch to me, and envoked visions of Jim Carey as Ace Ventura – “I have exorcised the demons…this house is clear.”

Still, you have to admire Stevens’ entrepreneurial spirit. The day he was contacted for the story he was working on his third “clearing.”  At $100-$200 per home that’s a decent day of earnings.

When real estate agents and homeowners have tried everything under the sun to move the house, perhaps an extra couple hundred dollars to rule out negative vibes is worth it.
