Homeownership & Lifestyle

Homeownership is more than a mortgage — it’s about community, lifestyle, and long-term planning.

This section includes personal insights, community involvement, and home-related topics that reflect the broader experience of owning and living in the great Pacific Northwest.

Happy Thanksgiving

November 27, 2008 by Rhonda Porter 2 Comments

There are so many things to be thankful for in this world. For starters, I have a wonderful family. At this time, I would also like to thank my many clients, friends and those of you who are reading this blog. I truly appreciate all of you. I hope you are surrounded with loved ones this holiday.

Mortgage Master is closed today and tomorrow in observance of Thanksgiving. We will reopen for business as usual on Monday, December 1, 2008. Soon I’ll be working on the appetizers that we’re bringing over to my sister’s home…today I’ll be enjoying the company of family. Although my office is closed tomorrow, I will be working on Good Faith Estimates for clients who are interested in our current low rates.

Happy Thanksgiving!

As you may know, I was in San Francisco last month for the Inman Connect real estate conference. I decided to add a few days to my trip and make the most of my air fare expenses by visiting Sonoma…specifically Healdsburg. I know this isn’t quite a “neighborhood tour” like I’ve been promoting at Mortgage Porter…I’m hoping you’ll enjoy this post all the same. [Read more…]
