Mortgage Lenders near East Orange, NJ

“Went into the branch after unsuccessfully trying to withdraw from one of their ATMs. The Bank Teller Alex and Banker Jose were trying to assist me in no time and without complaint. An older, middle-aged, female employee came out of nowhere and started telling him out loud to focus on what he was doing before and helping me is a waste of time. Then she told me "it really is not easier for us to help you" and "you can change your PIN on your phone, I can show you" in an irritated tone. Mind you, changing a PIN (especially online) takes over three days to get mailed. I needed to withdraw immediately. Then she took my IDs from Jose as he was asking me questions. She gave them to Alex. Alex was able to help me withdraw at the counter. The unpleasant experience was the unprofessional nature of the older female employee telling a customer (me) that a request is not easier for them and informing another employee that it is wasting his time. That location is the closest one, and I've been living in the area for decades. It was my first time going inside. I thank Alex and Jose for doing their job, being patient, knowledgeable, and understanding.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Kathia on a recent transaction, and I must say her professionalism and dedication were truly impressive. From start to finish, Kathia demonstrated exceptional communication skills, efficiency, and a proactive approach that made the entire process smooth for all parties involved.

She was always responsive, well prepared, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure our mutual clients were well informed and comfortable throughout each stage of the loan process. Her attention to detail and ability to navigate challenges with ease reflect her strong expertise in the mortgage industry.
As a real estate broker, I truly appreciate working with professionals like Kathia who share the same commitment to excellence and client satisfaction. I look forward to collaborating with her again in the future.,”

“I had the pleasure of working with Abed Elkhatibe at HQM. He was very professional, knowledgeable and answered all my questions. The loan was processed quickly and there was great communication. I would definitely recommend Abed and HQM for any mortgage or refinance.”

“Marcos was extremely helpful and professional. I left the office with clear goals and a solid plan moving forward. I highly recommend his office to anyone looking for knowledgeable and trustworthy guidance.”

“We recently purchased a home and Mark’s team provided the funding, special shout out to Nico who went above and beyond in every aspect of the mortgage application process, would highly recommend them if you are looking to purchase a property and need financing!”

“Vinny and his team were absolute lifesavers when buying my first home. They came through last minute when my previous lender set me up with an adjustable rate instead of fixed. Vinny was able to get me the rate I wanted and was even available late hours to help explain how everything would work. I truly don’t think I would have been able to do this without him. Even after I closed he was still available with any questions I had. Buying a house especially for the first time can be a stressful process but with Vinny and his team they were able to make this an easy process for me and could not recommend him enough.”

“When we first found Joe Grato online, we were extremely early in our house search. We were looking for a pre-approval and decided to see what brokers had the best reviews and called a few. Joe immediately stood out; he was straightforward, honest, and immediately started coaching us about the process we had ahead of us. He did not sugarcoat anything and honestly felt like a family member telling you what you should hear, not what you want to hear. This industry is filled with some shady characters that see you as a dollar sign, and Joe couldn’t be any more different. There were times when this whole process seemed daunting or even impossible and Joe was there to make us laugh or reassure us that everything was going to be okay. You can’t expect this level of character in any business relationship, but this is why Joe is a level above everyone in this industry.

We had so many questions for Joe that at times my wife and I were worried that we were being annoying. Joe answered them all, even questions that weren’t related to our mortgage. I really just believe he is a good person, and he wanted to see us succeed. This process as a first-time buyer is terrifying, and Joe was a guiding light for us the entire time. I think we could have missed out on a great opportunity if we didn’t have Joe Grato in our corner.

So you are probably reading this thinking, “Well, Joe seems nice and all, but mortgages are about the interest rate first and foremost.” The thing is, Joe got us an excellent rate and timed the market perfectly. So perfectly that the rates jumped the next day and haven’t returned to those levels since. You can’t expect anyone to time the market perfectly or know exactly when to strike, but in our case, we are so happy with the way things turned out. I can tell you this: I know he didn’t have to stay late in this office that night to lock in the rate, but he did because he puts his buyers first.

Joe wasn’t recommended to us by anyone; We stumbled upon a review just like this online. So maybe if another first-time buyer finds this, they will go with Joe and have the same amazing experience that we did. I can’t recommend Joe enough, and I’m so happy that I decided to go with AmeriDream Home Loans.”

“Working with Mike Graziano was a pleasure and felt less like hiring a broker and more like having a trusted friend in our corner. Mike's care went beyond just the transaction. While buying a home can be stressful, Mike's guidance and reassurance kept things grounded. Mike listened to our concerns, celebrated our win, and treated our money as if it was his own. We are forever grateful and I would highly recommend Mike to take care of your mortgage needs.”

“To William & Rosa ❤

I’m sure there were moments you probably thought, “Kenia is a handful” but I promise you, this is just the beginning. One closing down, and many more to go.

You both helped make a single mom feel like she won, and that means more than you know.

This process was not easy there were negotiations, questions, back and forth, and plenty of moments where patience was required but through it all, you showed professionalism, understanding, and a true commitment to doing what was best for your client… me.

That kind of dedication doesn’t go unnoticed.

Thank you for your patience, your hard work, and for helping me make this happen.
I’ll be referring you both over and over again because a team like yours is hard to find.

Grateful for you both and this is only the beginning. 🏡✨”

“Skyrock was an amazing mortgage company to work with. From Mark's spot-on guidance and advice on rates, to Rivky's tenacious advocating on our behalf, to Julie's constant availability, patience with answering questions, and going above and beyond, (and working overtime!) to make sure the loan could be issued on a tight schedule, Skyrock was a pleasure to work with from start to finish.”

“Nick Natale made us feel comfortable throughout the entire mortgage process. He kept us up to date and we never had to wonder what was happening as we moved forward. He is professional, friendly, and more importantly, knowledgeable about what he does and the mortgage broker profession. I have already told individuals I know that if they ever want to buy a home I have the person they need to speak with.”

“Isolina, from Luminate Bank was amazing ! I would recommend her to all of my friends and family. She was responsive right from the very 1st day. She became a friend through this transaction. She answered our calls after hours and treated us with respect at all times. We always knew where we stood, at any given time, with our loan. She really was great and extremely personable !”

“An incredibly powerful team built by Niket. As customers, we expect lenders to be communicative, precise, clear, and supportive of our time—and that is exactly what Niket’s team delivers.

I’ve been a customer of Niket’s for a long time, and his rates and total costs consistently beat the market by a wide margin. He and his team always go above and beyond for their customers. Thank you so much.”

“First, we want to thank Eric and his team for their dedication and hardwork. Working with Eric has been an absolute pleasure, from start to finish he’s guided us in the financial process of buying a home. He answered all our questions and concerns along with helping us choose what route to take when trying to decide our loan. Highly recommended!!”

She also has an excellent network of highly skilled professionals. I highly recommend her and wish her continued success.”

“I have had investment properties for nearly 30 years and I've decided to get away from the hassles of the conventional banks for my real estate funding. I chose Stratton Equities based on their top ratings from "Forbes Magazine". Throughout the process Stratton Equities gave me the EXCEPTIONAL service that I expect from a lender and my loan specialist Michael Monetti provided me with the upmost service to meet my needs of an investor. Michael Monetti patiently listened to my ideas and went over and beyond to make my needs happen. They truly helped me throughout the process with no rush or hassles until i was completely satisfied with the results. I would recommend Stratton Equities to anyone needing real estate funding of any kind.”

And would definitely recommend Omega financial services to everyone who plans to purchase a home, you’ll be in good hands.”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Bill Hallick at Aceland Mortgage for my home refinancing, and the experience was absolutely five-star from start to finish. Bill did outstanding work. Not only did he find us the best rate available at the time, but he also took the time to explain the entire process very clearly, ensuring we were comfortable and informed every step of the way. He made what can often be a complicated process feel incredibly smooth.

Once we began, the entire team at Aceland worked super fast and efficiently to get us to closing ahead of the scheduled date. Their professionalism is truly impressive.

I will definitely recommend Bill and Aceland Mortgage to anyone looking for mortgage needs, and I will not hesitate to work with them again in the future. Thank you for such a positive and stress free experience!”

“Stratton Equities was very helpful in the process of finding the right loan. The mortgage process is not easy, but Stratton always made sure to meet my needs. Their loan officers are professional, patient, and caring. They also have informative blogs on their site that gave me answers to questions I had before starting the process. They went above and beyond my expectations and I cannot thank them enough for all of their help.”

“My sister just purchased her first home with the amazing help of Newton Duarte, he truly guided her and her husband all the way until they were able to get her house keys. When she thought it was not happening this year because other companies were not able to see the loan through. I wished I had met this company before so that my house buying process wasn’t such a headache. Recommend them 100%, very professional team !”

“John and Luisa were such an asset to us on buying our home. Luisa worked long hours to help us with our loans and always was there when there were any complications with the closing. I would highly recommend them to anyone to help them buy their homes.”

“We had an awesome experience with MLB Mortgage! From day one, Sal Anello went above and beyond for us. Not only was he incredibly patient and responsive, but he also took the time to teach us throughout the entire loan process. We learned so much from him, as he provided clear guidance, broke everything down in a way that made sense, and made sure we understood every option before moving forward. His knowledge and support gave us real confidence in our decisions.

A big thank you, as well, to Lina Suarez, who was with us every step of the way. She kept everything organised, made the process feel smooth, and was always there to help whenever we needed anything.

Because of Sal, Lina, and the entire MLB Mortgage team, we closed on our home feeling informed, supported, and truly grateful. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless, educational, and genuinely caring mortgage experience! THANK YOU!”

“Regional Home Mortgage was an excellent choice for us to get a mortgage. We shopped around and came back to them. James was very knowledgeable and helpful. The rate they gave me was excellent. The thing that stood out the most for us was the service! James put us in great mortgage that was suitable for us. At first we were so confused about buying our house with the right mortgage, but they really put us in the right situation. They didn't charge any hidden fees and were completely honest. Today we closed on our first house and did so with a mortgage that fits our families budget. Now we get to enjoy our first house and couldn't do it without Regional home mortgage. I would suggest them to anyone and to call them. We are so glad we did!”
