Helping Washington State homeowners learn more about their mortgage options.
You may or may not know that one of my hobbies is painting. I especially enjoy painting on black velvet and recently completed a painting of our Federal Reserve Board Chair, Janet Yellen.
Because it’s Friday… I thought I’d share it with you just for fun.
Ms. Yellen is now hanging in my office at Mortgage Master Service Corporation.

WARNING: this post has NOTHING to do with mortgages… unless you’re considering buying a new home with a large fenced yard for your puppy. 🙂
Today is National Pet Day so I thought I’d take a moment to share a couple photos of our family’s four legged furry kids, Rocko and Hitch. If we’re friends on Facebook, you’re probably already quite familiar with them.
Our office, Mortgage Master Service Corporation recently moved to Center Point office park. As the name implies, it’s a very central location just south of Southcenter, off of West Valley Highway. Our new space is beautiful and includes a great conference room for home buyer classes, loan applications and mortgage consultations.
I encourage anyone who is considering buying a home to start the preapproval process as soon as possible. Regardless of if you’re not planning on buying for a year or you think your credit, income and assets are prefect – you never know what underwriters may find lurking in your application.

I can’t remember the last time I shared a “Friday funny”… I’m sure it was well before HUD-1’s awful attempt of the 2010 Good Faith Estimate, Dodd-Frank or HVCC regulations. This was circling around our office and I just had to share this!

Happy Friday!
Just for fun I thought I’d share one of my recent paintings that I did of my in-laws, Bob and Ruth Porter posing as Bonnie and Clyde.
Bob Porter actually founded Mortgage Master Service Corporation in 1976. Two of Bob and Ruth’s children, Marilyn and John, are still at Mortgage Master today.
This painting is currently entered in an online art competition for Daniel Smith’s 11th Annual Customer Art Contest.
If you’d like to vote for my painting, you can click here. You’ll need to search “rhonda” to find the painting…and vote often! 🙂 Enjoy your weekend!
PS: If you’re interested, here’s more of my artwork.
You can remodel your bathroom without having to get permission from the owner.
My husband is in the process of remodeling our basement bathroom. You can see a glimpse of the salvaged “ship’s door” that will be the door to the commode.
I’ll be sure to share more photos of the progress!
