Durango Mortgage Lender for Real Estate Agents

I’m Peter Pritchard. I’ve been originating mortgages for 28 years, most of them here in Durango and La Plata County. I shop multiple lenders for each buyer, and I close and fund in Animas Mountain Mortgage’s name.

For you, that means one local person who answers the phone and keeps your closing date.

What you can count on

On every loan, for every agent.

Pre-approvals that hold up

I review income, assets and credit before I write a letter, so your sellers can trust it.

Updates at every milestone

You hear from me at each step below, without having to chase me.

You and your buyers reach me directly at 970-828-1610.

Meet buyers who are looking for an agent

Some buyers find me through my own ads before they have an agent.

How introductions work

If a buyer tells my site they aren’t working with an agent, it shows three local agents in rotation and the buyer chooses. Agents pay nothing, sign nothing and owe me nothing; there is no referral exchange either way.

Your clients stay your clients

When you send buyers to my site, they won’t be offered other agents. Agent introductions only go to buyers who come in through my own ads, and only after they say they don’t already have an agent.

Financing that fits Southwest Colorado deals

Local properties don’t always fit a big bank’s checklist. With access to 200+ wholesale lenders, I can usually find a program that fits the buyer and the property.

Tools you can send your buyers

Send these to buyers before they write an offer.

Questions agents ask

How quickly can you pre-approve my buyer?

Same day, once I have the buyer’s income and asset documents. It starts with a short call, and I review income, assets and credit before I write the letter, so it holds up.

Can you help a buyer who lives out of state?

Yes. I’m licensed throughout Colorado, so the property needs to be in Colorado, but the buyer can live anywhere. Many second home buyers come from other states.

Will you talk to the listing agent about my buyer’s financing?

Yes. With the buyer’s permission, I’m happy to call the listing agent to explain the loan and the timeline, which can help an offer stand out.

Do you pay or accept anything for referrals?

No. I don’t pay for referrals or accept anything for them, and agents owe me nothing for buyers I introduce. That keeps both of us in line with RESPA.
