Returning Clients — Move-Up Purchase in Kent
Lindsay and Tyler had worked with Rhonda before. When it was time to move up to their next home, they came back — a pattern that says everything about the experience they had the first time around. Their move-up purchase used a conventional loan and closed smoothly.
★★★★★“Rhonda and Janette were a great team working with us on every step. So thankful for their guidance and help through the process!”

Refinance in Kent — Closed Early
Chelsea found Rhonda through Yelp and Google reviews, and what she experienced exceeded her expectations — personalized video explanations throughout the process, responsive communication, and a closing that came in nearly a week ahead of schedule.
★★★★★“Rhonda and Janette at Mortgage Masters were amazing to work with on our recent refinance! They were extremely friendly, fast, responsive, and knowledgeable. They went above and beyond in every way by responding to every question in a clear and surprisingly quick way, and by sending personalized videos throughout the process, which was really helpful. We closed almost a week earlier than what was initially estimated. I definitely recommend using their service!”
