Erik Petersen, President

Answer Home Loans

Over the last 30 years I built a business that helps Clients and Realtors make great mortgage decisions. As an Army intelligence officer, I was held to the highest standards and I have transferred that discipline to my business. I believe in Karma which means I do everything in my power to add maximum value so you get the right loan at the right price, closed on time.

For my Clients: Having funded thousands of loans, I know what expect and have system based on pro-active communication to eliminate surprises. This is likely the largest transaction of your life and not to be taken lightly.

For my Realtor Partners: My disciplined systems-based approach to closing loan transactions means that you can focus on what you do best, serving your clients.  The biggest part of my business is helping buyers get in contract in the first place. If that never happens nothing else matters. I deliver on my commitments which means 90% of my business comes from referral. 

You are linked to each of your clients forever so when they come back, you win. My team actively refers buyers to Realtor partners every month from our database and digital lead platform.
