Rhonda was outstanding throughout our whole process. She handled so many details long distance for me, and coordinated so much. She was always available for questions and so courteous and knowledgeable. If she didn't know something, she found the answer for us. Wonderful. Thanks for everything, Rhonda!

Rhonda was knowageable about the area and the process. Though I disagreeded with some parts of the process she explained the reasoning and discussed with me the options. She was a very strong advocate for me during the entire ordeal.

Rhonda Patnode helped my wife and I purchase our first house. We wanted a broker who was living in the area and had a good track record of home sales in our price range. When we started working with Rhonda, she quickly impressed us with her knowledge of the areas where we were looking to buy, and helped us to narrow our search to best meet our needs. It was also a great help that as a full-time realtor, Rhonda was readily available to schedule showings and answer questions, sometimes on short notice due to the rapid market turnover in the Tri-Cities. Once we were ready to make an offer, Rhonda drew up the paperwork and gave us frequent updates and reminders about paperwork and next steps to take to ensure a smooth closing during what otherwise would have been a stressful time.
