About Erik Petersen

As a former Army intelligence officer, I’ve built PETERSEN LOANS on the same principles I lived by in service—precision, accountability, and follow-through. I believe in doing what’s right, not just what’s easy. That means recommending the right mortgage, not the easiest sale. When you work with me, you’ll get straight answers, timely communication, and a loan that fits your life.

Mortgage Advice Grounded in Experience, Integrity, and Real Results

For over 32 years, I’ve been helping people make confident mortgage decisions. I’m Erik Petersen—mortgage advisor, Army veteran, and firm believer that how you do business matters. That’s why I lead with honesty, follow through with discipline, and always put people before paperwork.

From Army Intelligence to Mortgage Precision

Before launching PETERSEN LOANS, I spent 13 years as an Army intelligence officer. In that role, attention to detail wasn’t optional—it was a way of life. That discipline is now the foundation of my mortgage practice. I triple-check timelines, explain every detail, and make sure your loan closes smoothly and on schedule.


But precision is just one piece of the puzzle. I also believe in karma—that doing right by others will always come back around. That belief is what guides how I show up for my clients every day.
