Peter Dittmar
Partner, Granite Creek Valuation; Certified General Real Estate Appraiser
Pete specializes in the appraisal of ranch land, conservation easements, and other partial interests in the Mountain West. After working for the Jackson Hole Land Trust for years, Pete recognized the lack of conservation easement appraisers in western Wyoming as an opportunity to start a new profession in the appraisal field. He has been a partner at Granite Creek Valuation since 2010. Throughout his appraisal career, he has worked on a wide range of appraisal types, from commercial to residential. He has worked on numerous estate planning projects, complex valuation assignments, and has served as an expert witness. Today, Pete is available for a wide range of appraisal assignments, but uses his wealth of knowledge of conservation easements to focus on appraisals of ranch land and conservation easements.
The beauty of the Tetons drew Pete to Jackson in the 90s after graduating from Middlebury College. He and his wife Barbara Allen enjoy their time with their daughter Maren, son Sam, and dogs Clark and Huey.
