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!

(Cash purchase defined when a Property Sold record does not have a Mortgage Balance.) Data coverage is limited by available MLS coverage. Certain geographies like Georgia (especially Central GA) and Vermont were impacted by this data availability. Land sales and manufactured (MFR) home sales are excluded from the dataset.

"To begin, we were moving across country with short notice and the seller required a 30-day closing. I haven’t experienced getting a mortgage in over 30-years…OMG it’s changed a lot! I am not even exaggerating when I say that we would not have accomplished this without the exceptional experience that Rhonda brought! After we signed and locked the 2023 high interest rate, days later there was a significant dip in the rates and Rhonda relocked us at the lower rate! What an unexpected gift. I don’t know anyone else who would go out of their way to do that for a client. Not only is she a Pro, but she’s a joy to work with and also guided us through with lots of patience. 5-STARS all the way!"
