Let's get you home

stephsellsseattle This time of year is so special to me. 🌿 The freshly sprouted chartreuse leaves in the treetops, the truly warm breezes that call for open windows & doors, the brightness in the blue skies which feels like a shot of caffeine in my blood… and the evening sunlight streaming into my home office, as I power through the Spring market. ☀️I did a lot of research today for a client whom finalized their new construction home preferences ☀️I connected a buyer looking outside of my service area with a referral to a trusted broker ☀️I prepped for a consultation with a different buyer that was referred *to* me and connected them with a trusted lender partner ☀️Mailed a package to one of my seller clients who moved and had a few random deliveries slip through the address change ☀️Collaborated with my operations manager on a couple of marketing pieces I’m looking forward to After wrapping up at my desk, I decided to lie down on the couch in my office to enjoy the warm sunshine and Honey jumped on my stomach to cuddle. She is solar powered, just like me, and such a loving friend to keep me company. During one of my breaks today, we sat in the rose garden together, and I looked at all of the buds ready to bloom in just a few short weeks. I cannot wait! The next 6 months are my favorite stretch of the year, and the best is yet to come 💕

stephsellsseattle [DUMAS BAY CENTRE, FEDERAL WAY WASHINGTON STATE] This is one spot that I feel like many locals don’t know about… tucked along a quiet coastal area of Federal Way. Not only are the grounds beautiful, they have a rotary Phone of the Wind, which made me tear up: “This phone will never ring. It is connected by love to nowhere and everywhere. It is for those who have an empty place in their heart left by a loved one. Say hello, say goodbye. Talk to the past, the present, the future. The wind will carry your message. Dedicated by the Federal Way Parks Commission” ———- From DumasBayCentre.com website: Set on 12 acres, Dumas Bay Centre offers a setting that embraces nature and beauty — a place where your guests can relax amid the panoramic splendor of the surroundings.
