Featured Client Stories
“Rhonda and everyone at NAF was so helpful and knowledgeable through our whole home buying process!”
Jackie
· First-Time Homebuyer · Puyallup, WA · Google Review
From renters to homeowners in 33 days. Jackie and her husband found Rhonda through Google, scheduled a discovery call, and closed on their first home in Puyallup — after 6.5 years of apartment living.
“Rhonda was very helpful from the beginning to the end as expected. This was my third loan with Rhonda… Things got a little tight at the end but Rhonda helped us guide through the process and got the loan closed on time… we will reach out to her again for a refinance.”
KC & Carrie
· Returning Client · Jumbo Purchase · Green Lake, Seattle, WA
A third transaction with a returning client — this time a jumbo loan on their dream home in Green Lake. Closed in 15 days despite a last-minute appraisal challenge. Their fully pre-underwritten Buyers Pass gave the transaction the foundation to close on time.
“Rhonda was the best! Throughout the process of finding our first home, Rhonda was always readily available to answer any questions we had. When we had questions about interest rates, she sent us lots of different scenarios tailored towards our desired neighborhood and financial circumstances, as well as videos where she explained what we were looking at. She made our first home buying experience extremely straightforward, and we’re looking forward to continuing to work with her in the future.”
Raven
· First-Time Homebuyer · North Seattle, WA · Google Review
First-time buyers who wanted to understand their options before committing. Rhonda provided personalized rate scenarios and video explanations tailored to their neighborhood and financial situation.
“Rhonda was very professional, 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 to purchase a home. She is the best!”

“Rhonda Porter is the most honest and thorough mortgage lender I have ever worked with. She analyzed our finances and provided us with a bullet list of things that we needed to work on in order for us to successfully purchase a home. She provided us with numerous options and was readily available to us when we had questions. I highly recommend working with her.”
