Most borrowers overpay for their home loan and never know it. As an independent mortgage broker in Phoenix, I shop dozens of wholesale lenders to find the best fit for your specific situation — then I handle every detail myself so your loan closes fast, clean, and at the lowest possible cost.

I'm Peter Seroter — independent mortgage broker, Army veteran, husband, father, and 25-year student of this industry.
I got into mortgage in 2001 after serving in the U.S. Army, and what drew me in was simple: this is one of the most important financial decisions a person ever makes, and most people navigate it without anyone truly in their corner.
I built Optimized Home Loans to change that.
As a broker with Barrett Financial Group — the largest mortgage brokerage in the country — I have access to over 180 wholesale lenders. That means I'm never limited to one set of products or guidelines. When a borrower has a complicated scenario, a unique financial picture, or has been turned down somewhere else, I don't just say no. I find the path forward.
What I'm most proud of isn't the volume I've closed or the years I've been doing this. It's the clients who call me years later to say thank you. It's the realtors who trust me with their most valuable relationships. It's the deals that should have fallen apart — and didn't — because someone was paying attention.
That's what 25 years buys you. And it's what you get when you work with Optimized Home Loans.
