Convenience. I am all about it. Getting more things on my "to do" list in less time or finding a way to do them more efficiently. That is one reason why I love Janel Stoneback with Janel Stoneback Homes. She's a sanity saver, a resource, a friend, and a local realtor. Recently Janel helped my husband and I purchase our first home. This is a big deal! We had limited time to move, a budget to stay within, a dream in mind of where we would raise our 2 boys, and making it all happen in one of the craziest markets Washington, and the United States as a whole has seen. You know how insane the market is here in the greater Seattle area. There is limited inventory, and a mass amount of buyers. 

Enter Janel. She has the answers and will fight for what the buyer, or even the seller wants. It's no easy task buying or selling a home, but she is a straight shooter who takes what you want and makes it happen. When I talked to Janel I asked her why should people come to see her and this is what she had to say. "I hope folks will come see me if they are considering buying or selling. Helping folks with their real estate needs is extremely rewarding. Sellers love that they are getting multiple offers on their homes if they are priced right in the market. Buyers although having a tough time in the market, I am happy to say I typically have success within 2 months finding a home for my buyers. I watch the market daily to see what is coming on, so that I stay as up to date as possible. I take the time to sit down and educate my clients on the ever changing current market trends." To contact Janel, email her at janel@windermere.com or call her at 206-478-7773. 

Mane care. I mean hair care. It can make or break most people. I am serious! Think about the last time you had a bad haircut. Didn't it ruin your day, make you less confident, and maybe even cause you to get a little agitated?! I take my hair very seriously, and know many other people do too. Not EVERYONE does, but I would say a majority of you care about your appearance at least a little bit. 

Thank goodness for the folks at Studio 152nd. They are conveniently located in downtown Burien with parking in the front and back at 413 SW 152nd St in Burien. I talked to the owner Tricia recently and she said they celebrated their 20 year anniversary. Love it! This kind of presence is needed in Burien and any small community. Small businesses that stay for the long haul, because this means they take care of their patrons. Studio 152nd has 5 stylists and most weeks are open 7 days a week. They do haircuts, foils and full color and did a total salon remodel a year ago. Trust me, you are in good hands here. Book your appointment today. Call them at 206-431-9151.
