About Peter Ryu
His father instilled in him to never settle and to always give it his all, which is what Peter Ryu did after receiving his economics degree from the University of Washington and accepting a position as a full-time loan officer. “I developed a passion for helping people achieve the American Dream,” he recalls. “Now, as a mortgage banker, I love working with people and being a part of their journey.”
The branch manager and Mortgage Advisor with New American Funding, Ryu is focusing on growing their Bellevue branch. In the industry for 21 years, he credits his success to his ability to provide a perspective that will set clients up for success. “I look at the big picture and offer solutions that my competition wouldn’t even think about,” he says.
Named to the President’s Club and awarded Top 1% honors by Scotsman Guide and Top Originator Magazine, Ryu is known for being attentive, ethical and compassionate toward his clients. A board member of the Asian Real Estate Association of America, Ryu recently co-chaired the organization’s second-annual golf tournament, doubling their donation from last year to Northwest Hope and Healing, a local nonprofit that provides financial assistance to female cancer patients.
Ryu spends free time with his two sons, who he also coaches in basketball. They enjoy playing baseball, fishing, crabbing and snowboarding together. “We have aspirations to start a band, so we just started taking guitar and drums lessons,” he adds. “Family is my No. 1 priority, and my boys are the reason I strive to be the best.”

"Peter was an exceptional lender throughout our home-buying process. He was always on time, highly responsive, and kept everything moving smoothly. What set him apart was his ability to offer a financing product that very few others could. While other lenders will consider RSUs as income only if you have a proven history, Peter’s approach allowed us to include RSUs and a signing bonus from Amazon even without a tech-sector income history. This flexibility was critical in enabling us to move into homeownership years earlier than we otherwise could have. Peter made what can be a stressful process feel manageable and straightforward. His professionalism, responsiveness, and creative approach to lending make him someone I would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a lender who goes above and beyond to make homeownership possible."

Are you Ready?
At New American Funding, we believe that every person deserves a clear path to achieving their dream of homeownership. So, we created the Pathway to Homeownership initiative to alleviate some of your financial worries.
What is the Pathway to
Homeownership Initiative?
The Pathway to Homeownership offers qualified borrowers in select areas up to $6,000 in assistance. These funds are not a loan that needs to be repaid and are available to first-time homebuyers in designated areas.
This program can also potentially be combined with other down payment assistance programs to offer you even more support as you build the life of your dreams.
