About

Longs Peak Lending

What Sets Us Apart

Let's Work Together

LOAN PROGRAMS

We're Mike and Pat Ziegler — brothers, Colorado natives, and the team behind Longs Peak Lending.

We grew up here. We know these mountains, these neighborhoods, and what it means to put down roots in Colorado. From the Front Range to the Western Slope, this state isn't just where we work — it's home.

After years in the mortgage industry, we decided to build something together: a lending company rooted in the same values we were raised with — honesty, hard work, and genuinely caring about the people we serve. We named it after one of Colorado's most iconic peaks because, like the mountain, we believe in standing tall and showing up for our clients every step of the way.

What drives us is simple: helping people.

Whether you're a first-time buyer nervously navigating your first offer, a growing family looking to upgrade, or a homeowner ready to refinance and save, we take the time to understand your situation — not just your credit score. We walk you through your options clearly, answer your questions honestly, and make sure you feel confident at every stage of the process.

There's no hand-off to a faceless underwriter. No disappearing after you sign. When you work with Longs Peak Lending, you work with Mike and Pat — start to finish.

We're proud to be your local Parker mortgage team and to serve clients across all of Colorado. If you're ready to make a move, we'd love to be part of your story.
