Tim Peterson
Tim Peterson brings nearly three decades of experience and a no-nonsense, numbers first approach to residential lending. A seasoned mortgage professional since 1996, Tim’s journey into home financing began after a successful run as a general manager in the high-end fitness industry. When a close friend from UW-Eau Claire introduced him to the world of mortgage lending, he made a bold leap—selling his home in Green Bay and relocating to Minneapolis to start a new chapter.
Tim has since worked in every corner of the mortgage business—from owning a mortgage company to roles in processing, underwriting, and compliance. His deep industry knowledge and practical mindset give his clients a transparent, straightforward experience that’s focused on clarity, affordability, and long-term financial comfort.
Known for his availability (yes, he really works 7 days a week), Tim ensures his clients understand every detail of their loan—no fluff, just the facts. He specializes in residential lending across the board, helping everyone from first-time buyers to seasoned homeowners navigate the mortgage process with confidence.
Outside of work, Tim trains in his home gym, hangs with his dogs and close-knit adoptive family, and enjoys downtime at favorite local spots like Fireside Foundry and the Pool & Yacht Club. A longtime advocate for veterans, Tim previously dedicated years to nonprofit work supporting service members and still carries that passion in his heart.
His motto? “Never take advice from the skinny guy in the gym.” In other words—trust the professionals who’ve lived it.

I was introduced to the incredible team at Granite Bank about a year ago. The entire Granite Bank team from the tellers all the way to the mortgage and commercial lending officers have definitely provided a small town bank feel with big bank benefits and resources. You will never be just an account number with this bank. They have made every transaction I have had with them from a simple deposit to a new home construction loan and Mortgage as seamless and smooth as one would hope for. This is the way banking should be. Thank you Granite Bank for all you have done !!!
