Meet Peter
Peter Aurich is an Area Manager and Loan Officer with Fairway Home Mortgage, based in Monument and leading branches serving the Front Range from Colorado Springs to the Denver metro. His clients say the same things over and over: constant communication, fast answers, and a process that stays calm even when a deal gets complicated.
From VA loans for the region's military families to first homes, new builds, and move-up purchases, Peter's job is simple: show you your real options in plain English, and get you to the closing table on time.
Serving those who serve
Fort Carson, Peterson, Schriever, the Academy — the Pikes Peak region is one of the biggest military communities in the country, and the VA loan is very likely the strongest mortgage you can get. Here's the path:
Text Peter your situation — PCS timeline, BAH, entitlement questions, all of it.
Peter helps pull your Certificate of Eligibility and gets you a real pre-approval.
No down payment, no monthly mortgage insurance, and limits on what you can be charged.
Your entitlement is reusable — this benefit works as hard as you did to earn it.

Peter and his team were in constant communication with me through the whole process; from first purchasing my home to over a year later working with me to refinance, I never wondered where things were at or was caught off guard.
