    Should you become a Real Estate Agent? 5 Steps.

    January 18, 2023 /

    Thinking about becoming a real estate agent? It's a great career for many reasons: the ability to work from home and make a schedule that works for you, working with people to help reach their housing goals, relatively low start-up costs, and the ability to make a good living. Some people come to a real estate career fresh out of school, but the majority of people make real estate their second career and have come from different professional backgrounds and in different stages of life.

    What a GOOD agent really does and what it’s worth.

    September 23, 2022 /

    What do you think of when you think of a Realtor? A lot of people think of the slick salesman, with tacky clothes and pasted on smile trying to sell you any house they can stuff you into. Or the ones you see on the reality house hunter shows who are ditzy and lazy. And sure. Some of them are like that. Stereotypes exist because theres always a small nugget of truth there. But in reality, the vast majority of Realtors I know, are just folks who have come to this job because they really deeply believe that owning your own home can change the course of your life. For…

    Why single women should buy their first home… solo.

    September 7, 2022 /

    My first home purchase was as a single woman in 1997. I remember being in the Title Company office on closing day, the Title Officer laughing a little nervously as she handed me the official papers to sign. "Rhonda Spencer, Spinster" read my description. "SPINSTER??" I laughed. "Yeah. They'll get around to changing that when they've figured out that we no longer wear bloomers and need smelling salts" she laughed. I signed the papers and was then legally a "Spinster", and the proud owner of my very first home. Since that time I have gone on to purchase two more homes on my own, and finally another couple after my…

“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! :)

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."

“Her guidance for making a strong offer in a tough market was stellar.”

"Rhonda is fantastic- not only is she responsive to my multiple texts/emails about properties, but she is extremely knowledgeable about Portland, properties, various home characteristics (foundation material, electric, etc etc). Her knowledge helped guide me to a quality home. Additionally, her guidance for making a strong offer in a tough market was stellar. If you’re looking to buy a home, you need Rhonda! As a bonus, she’s a charming, sweet and lovable person who is always cheerful and smiling. Who doesn’t want that when under the stress of buying a new home?!"
