Peter Ryu’s father taught him to never settle and to work to be his best — and this has been Ryu’s mentality since he became a mortgage professional 20 years ago. After receiving an economics degree from the University of Washington, he directly entered the mortgage industry and has loved his profession since.

At Guaranteed Rate, Ryu focuses on building generational wealth for his clients and helping Realtor partners level up their business. He is also a branch manager and vice president of mortgage lending.
