Federal Way, WA

Yes, here we are! From my Grandma down to my Granddaughter - 5 generations, this was quite a moment as you might expect.

My Gram passed this last year, but she certainly would have been thrilled that I took my 31 years of experience in real estate and opened Booth Escrow, LLC.

You see, she loved small business. My mother owned her own small business in Silverdale, Washington while I was growing up and my Gram worked for Mom as her receptionist for many years. It was during this time that she got her driver's license and became a truly independent woman.

Yes, she loved small business. I thought that working for large corporations was the way to go - you know the benefits packages and paid vacations. Who could argue with that? Well this economy has allowed me to dive in and take my passion for closing escrows to this community.

Please call me if you have any real estate related questions that I might be able to assist you with. Or perhaps you might find what you need on my Facebook Fan Page by clicking here. I have some pretty terrific links that you might find very helpful whether you are in the great State of Washington or not.

If you are in Washington State and would like to set up an escrow, feel free to upload your Purchase & Sale Agreement to my website by clicking here. You will not be disappointed!

Thanks & have an enjoyable day!

As I was getting ready for work on Tuesday, I glanced out the window and was lucky enough to catch this rainbow as it was gathering strength.

I have read a number of blogs about the expensive real estate in the Puget Sound area, but you cannot deny the beauty provided throughout the Great Pacific Northwest.

The land just to the left of this rainbow is Vashon Island.

Too beautiful not to share! Enjoy your Friday.
