She went above and beyond to help us find the right home. We found our dream home Because Rhonda is always working and managed to get us into a home on July 4th. Since we were able to be the first in the door, we were able to be the first to make an offer and win! I will be recommending Rhonda to all our friends and family!." - Nick N.

★★★★★
"With Rhonda’s expertise in the local market and advice on preparing to sell, we closed on our house 6 weeks after the first open house! This was even over the winter holidays. Rhonda and her team were responsive. They suggested some small fixes to the house to prepare for putting it on the market and connected us with a good contractor with affordable prices. Rhonda allows you to take the lead in pricing and negotiating while providing seasoned advice, tailored to your priorities and circumstances for the sale. We had a fantastic experience as first time sellers with Rhonda!" - Jill S.

About Rhonda
The logo of Mortensen and Young Team

Growing up, I dreamed of two things: to live in Washington, DC, and to become a Realtor. Although I was raised in Redlands, California, I was always drawn to our nation’s capital, a place steeped in such history and splendor. And as a self-described people person, the idea of working closely with clients to help them navigate a momentous life event like buying or selling a home was irresistible. So, after a career in Human Resources — where I learned the invaluable art of listening — and a stint as a small business owner, I decided that it was time to start living the life I had always envisioned for myself. And while my previous experiences prepared me well for the world of real estate, once I made the transition, I never looked back.

Today, I’m proud to say that I turned my vision into reality. Over the past 22 years, I have built a successful real estate business that’s virtually 90% referral-based, a fact that I attribute to the enduring relationships I’ve formed here. When I first moved to the DC area, I didn’t know a single person; now, I have a community of clients that truly feels like a family, like home. I treasure my role as a trusted advisor who helps others find their place in DC just as I have found mine.

Above all, I believe in creating personalized, seamless experiences for my clients that are tailored to their distinct needs and goals. I also believe that when it comes to real estate, honesty is always the best policy. Whether you’re buying your very first home or downsizing, my mission is to arm you with the knowledge you need to make the decision that’s right for you and to have some fun along the way. After all, who said real estate had to be boring?

I’ve moved several times in my life — including my relocation from California — and as a Realtor, I’ve sold close to 1,000 homes to date. It is these personal and professional experiences that help me to relate to those I work with not just as clients, but as people. Real estate is, after all, a uniquely human profession, and I carry that understanding with me day in and day out.

When I’m not hosting open houses and chasing down leads, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my husband and children, and getting involved in the Silver Spring community, where I call home today. I’m also known amongst friends as a wine connoisseur, and can often be found doling out advice on the perfect bottle to buy for any given occasion.
