Primis Mortgage has announced the addition of Pete Zaft, a seasoned mortgage loan officer with more than two decades of industry experience, to its team. Zaft is recognized as one of the top mortgage originators in the country and has been a prominent figure in the Middle Tennessee market. Zaft and his team join Primis following a five-year tenure with Movement Mortgage.
“Pete has set the standard for mortgage professionals in Nashville,” said Belinda Arender, Primis Mortgage Market Leader. “After competing against him for some time now, it’s a thrill to be on the same team working together to serve the homebuyers in our community.”
Zaft was recently named Top Producer of the Year by the Nashville Mortgage Bankers Association and currently holds the distinction of being the top loan officer in Middle Tennessee, as well as the third-ranked loan officer statewide.
“We couldn’t be more excited to join Primis,” Zaft said. “This is an industry that’s ruled by the longstanding giants, and it takes something special to make noise. Working in the same area as Belinda and her team, the company’s commitment to innovation is impossible to overlook. After many talks with leadership, I know this is a perfect fit for my team and clients. Together, we can help many families achieve their home buying dreams in ways that work for them.”
A Nashville resident for over 30 years, Zaft is known for his efficiency and professionalism in a fast-paced, evolving industry. His team has been credited with delivering consistent results over time.
“You only need minutes with Zaft to see why he’s one of the nation’s best,” said Primis Mortgage CEO John Owens. “It comes down to expert knowledge of both products and the industry, a passion to help people, and perhaps the most important, an unwavering hunger for success. He, and his entire team, are a perfect fit here at Primis Mortgage, and I cannot wait to see how he continues to lead and grow.”
