I’ve Been Nominated for Best Home Mortgage in the PNW!

Seattle Times Best Northwest Lender Rhonda Porter

I have some exciting news to share — I’ve been nominated for Best Home Mortgage in the Seattle Times’ 2026 Best in the PNW contest!

Nearly everything I do in this business grows from relationships — clients who come back, friends who send their family members, real estate agents who trust me with their buyers. Being nominated feels like a reflection of all of you.

What’s Next

Voting closed on June 26th, and the response honestly caught me off guard — so many of you came back day after day to cast a vote. Winners will be announced September 20, 2026, and I’ll update this post with the results as soon as they’re official.

A Little Perspective

I’ve been originating home loans in Washington State since 2000, and before that I spent 14 years in title and escrow. The Seattle market has changed enormously over that time, but one thing hasn’t: the clients and colleagues who make this work worth doing.

If you’ve ever worked with me — on a purchase, a refinance, or just a discovery call to figure out if the timing was right — thank you. This nomination belongs to you as much as it does to me.

Ready to talk about your home loan?

Whether you’re buying, refinancing, or just exploring your options, I’d love to connect. Discovery calls are free, pressure-free, and a great place to start.
