Peter Pritchard

President

For 28 years, I have been a mortgage originator closing thousands of unique loans, including FHA, VA, USDA, 203K, Conventional, Jumbo, & Renovation loan programs. Animas Mountain Mortgage is a hybrid lender. As a non-delegated correspondent lender, I fund many loans in our own name and sell them after closing, and I also broker loans to more than 200 wholesale lenders. Either way, I narrow the options down to the few that fit your loan best. On loans I fund, processing, closing and funding happen right here in Durango, and the investor that buys the loan gives the final underwriting approval. Whether you’re purchasing or refinancing a primary residence, vacation home, investment home, or 1-4 unit property, I am confident we can work together to find the loan that fits your situation.

Financial security starts at home, and I am passionate about helping my clients integrate their long and short term financial goals with their mortgage goals. Along with the articles on my blog, you can give me a call anytime and we can discuss ways to help you improve your credit, add to your savings, and feel comfortable about your overall financial situation.

Customer Love

Peter was fantastic to work with and made the home buying process far less stressful than I expected. He was extremely responsive, always took the time to explain things clearly, and kept everything moving forward. As a first-time homebuyer I really appreciated how patient and knowledgeable he was. Highly recommend working with him.
Wes Weichert
Our overall experience was incredible. Could not have asked for a better lender (Peter). From start to finish it took 10 days. Thank you!!
Michelle Blades
Peter went above and beyond what I thought was gonna happen. In the past it was always so hard to get in touch with the finance people. He was always available no matter week day or weekend and always took the time to explain everything, and being 78 years old that was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Peter Pritchard for anyone buying a house.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Peter Pritchard at Animas Mountain Mortgage to finance my new home in La Plata County. When I started looking for a new home, I knew very little about the process of taking out a mortgage, but Peter helped me evaluate my options and guided me through the process so that my loan was competitive and right for my financial situation. He's extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and patient, and I highly recommend him as someone you can trust and count on to help you as he helped me!
