About Rhonda Porter

I began my mortgage career in 2000, after 14 years in the title and escrow industry. My background in title and escrow was an invaluable experience, giving me a unique understanding and perspective on mortgage lending. With over thirty years in related fields, I'm passionate about educating my clients, offering the best mortgage products for their needs and helping them navigate and understand the entire process. It is important to me that you are happy with my services from start to finish.


I am a state approved Home Buyer Education instructor and author of a nationally recognized blog, The Mortgage Porter. I'm honored to have been recognized by my peers as one of the top Mortgage Originators in Washington state at the WAMP Leadership & Humanitarian  awards for four consecutive years.


I specialize in residential lending for purchase and refinance mortgages. Whether you are buying your first home, self-employed, buying a vacation home or investment property; it gives me great pleasure to help people achieve their goals.


Away from the office, I enjoy painting, gardening, making a mess of our kitchen and of course getting to see our adult kids. 


My business relies on referrals and returning clients. It's my goal to establish relationships that will last beyond the closing of the transaction. I hope I earn the opportunity to work with you!

"Rhonda was very professiona, transparent and detail oriented. She made the entire loan process pain free and efficient. We used a VA loan to purchase the house, and Rhonda was clearly well versed in the process as well! I would recommend Rhonda to anyone else who is trying purchase a home. She is the best!"
