“Rhonda has been the biggest blessing…”

Rhonda has been the biggest blessing. My husband and I were first time home-buyers in Portland, OR, and she answered all of our incessant questions with patience and enthusiasm at all hours of the day. She is spunky, humorous, and so easy to be around. She was eager to help us at the drop of the hat throughout this journey. Her expertise put us at ease, and it was easy to trust her to take care of us and advocate for us. We got an amazing house and with her help, everything went smoothly. I can't recommend her enough! She really is the best of the best, and anyone would be honored to have Rhonda as their agent! :)

--The Casteels

Rhonda Spencer is nothing short of amazing!

"We worked with Rhonda to buy our first home and she was so awesome throughout the entire process. To say she was on top of everything would be an understatement. She was helpful, knowledgeable, organized, and always available. Most importantly, she worked tirelessly to make sure we were getting what we wanted and what was best for us. If you want an agent that will truly go the extra mile for you and make your experience the best it can be, I highly recommend Rhonda Spencer."

--The Engstroms

“Handling every little detail…”

"Rhonda was so great during our buying process. We went through THREE contracts and negotiations before we were successful in purchasing our home. Rhonda worked diligently on each one and never gave up in helping us. She was especially invaluable in the closing process, handling every little detail as we were located in Seattle and couldn't be available for important inspections / meetings. I can't recommend her enough. She truly goes the extra mile for her clients!"

The Good Family

“Rhonda, from start to finish, was beyond amazing…”

"There aren’t enough words to adequately express how much I LOVED working with Rhonda! She made my first home buying experience feel effortless. Rhonda, from start to finish, was beyond amazing — accessible, knowledgeable, and thorough. And she is a power negotiator. You will feel that you have a partner who’s got your back. I just moved into my home days ago. And I think of her every time I walk into my home after a long day at work and think how lucky I was to have worked with her. Thank you, Rhonda, for everything!!"
