Craig went above and beyond for us. Made us feel comfortable and at ease through one of the most stressful times of our lives. I cannot thank him enough!
Response from Owner
Danielle, thank you so much for this. Buying your first home is a lot to carry, and knowing you and your family felt comfortable through it means everything to me. Congratulations again on your new home in New Jersey — I'm always here if you need anything down the road! — Craig
Craig LaBruno made getting a mortgage fast and easy. He found us a great rate and kept us updated every step of the way. We could not have asked for a better experience
Response from Lender
Carlos, thank you. Buying from a distance adds a layer most people don't expect, and you handled it like a pro — every doc, every call, right on time. That's why we closed on schedule. Being able to help families purchase in North Carolina as well as here in New Jersey is one of the best parts of this job. A 30-year fixed purchase loan should feel this straightforward for everybody, and my whole thing is keeping people updated so there's never a week where you're sitting there wondering what's happening.
Working with Craig LaBruno was one of the best decisions I made during my home-buying journey. From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and always available to answer my questions. Purchasing my first home came with its share of challenges, but Craig remained calm, reassuring, and committed every step of the way. What impressed me most was how tirelessly Craig worked behind the scenes with his team to keep my loan moving forward. There were moments when the process felt overwhelming, but I always knew he was advocating for me and doing everything possible to help make this deal happen. Craig’s professionalism, dedication, and genuine commitment to me made all the difference. Thanks to his hard work and the support of his team, I am now a homeowner. I am incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Craig to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor who truly goes above and beyond.

Today, I am a proud homeowner, and I couldn’t be more grateful for Craig’s guidance, expertise, and unwavering support throughout the entire process. What once felt like an overwhelming goal became a reality because of his dedication and commitment. If you’re looking for a mortgage advisor who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cares about his clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Craig LaBruno. Thank you, Craig, for helping me achieve one of the most meaningful milestones of my life
Response from Lender
Marcia, this one got me. "What once felt like an overwhelming goal" — that's exactly how most first-time homebuyers in New Jersey describe it before we start, and it's exactly what I want to take off people's shoulders. You did the work. You asked good questions, you stayed patient through the FHA process, and you didn't let the noise talk you out of it. All I did was make sure you understood every step before you took it. Bridgewater's lucky to have you. Congratulations, homeowner. — Craig LaBruno, NMLS #242811 | Guaranteed Rate, Inc. | Equal Housing Lender

Response from Owner
Thanks for the awesome review Nicholas. I am glad to have helped!
Mr LaBruno has extraordinary communications skills and explains things thoroughly with assurance that all is understood. He has a great understanding of the finance world and a wealth of knowledge unsurprised by any other person that I have encountered in my past experiences. He always returned my calls and texts in a timely manner even on week ends or past office hours. He was totally committed to get me where I needed to be and never faltered along the way even when unbelievable circumstances arose. He kept me in the ballgame even when I got very discouraged and upset. He is a superb asset to your company and was the best part of my experience through 4 months of homelessness. If you think this is a strong evaluation of Mr LaBruno; it is meant to be. He is truly one of a kind.
From the first time I talked to Craig on the phone he and his team have been lights out. Whenever you need something or have a question, they are on it. They are a one stop shop and I would recommend them to anyone that wants an experience that most deserve but never get from competitors.
Craig and his team were extremely helpful and knowledgeable in guiding us through the process of our home purchase. We would definitely recommend them if you’re in need of a home loan.
It was great working with Craig. Him and his team were amazing at helping me get the house that I wanted and when I needed to get it done. They were flexible and very helpful and responsive.
Craig LaBruno and his team helped me with my first home purchase! He is very knowledgeable, concise, and informative with the entire mortgage process!
Craig was extremely professional and knowledgeable! He always answered all my questions in a timely manner and although I know I’m not his only client I always felt like a priority. It’s not easy to find someone you can trust with all your finances and Craig is the best!
Working with Craig has been amazing! He is always there for you and will take your needs into consideration. He goes the extra mile to ensure your needs are met.
Craig was extremely helpful throughout the whole home-buying process. He was able to answer all of our questions, even within the late-night whenever we had thought of something last minute. He advised us to lock-in our rate at a great time given the market uncertainty. Craig is knowledgeable and keeps up to date with how the market is day by day and will go the extra mile to look into specific programs that best fit your needs. We will definitely be recommending Craig to all of our friends and family who are also looking to buy a home! Thanks for all of your help! -Romany Botros & Tina Said
Many thanks to Craig we were able to purchase our first home successfully. We applied for DCU earlier because of lucrative rates but DCU could not close the loan on time and we almost lost the house. I contacted craig as we had received pre approval from him earlier. He stepped in at almost last minute and helped us getting closing done smoothly in 3 weeks!!! All kudos to Craig and his team who diligently worked on our file to get closing on time. I will definitely recommend Craig to anyone looking for their house dream to come true.
This comfortable and good standard of living I now enjoy with my family, is all thanks to you ma'am Emilia Williams before now I had a low income and did a lot of online trade which no profit, but you can like an angle and change all of that in just one week, you turned my $600 to $8,450 with your intelligence as an expert and from that day I had made more profit each week investing more, no amount of thanks will be enough for what you have done for me and my family, but I promise ma'am I will speak of your honesty, handwork, and trust to the world, this is dream come true for me for finding a legit account manager like you, I advise the entire public to invest with MRS EMILIA WILLIAMS Contact her now WhatsApp: +1 814 822 4004 Email: emiliawilliams247@gmail.com
Craig and his team made the entire process so simple. I would not have gone with any other lender. Craig made sure i had everything was in place from start to finish.
It was a pleasure working with Mr. LaBruno and his team. What made this experience worthwhile was the professionalism and expertise each person in their respective field bought to the table. After an initial deal fell through, I feared not being able to find a group of people that would work well together. The real estate agent made a request of Craig, and then my fears began to grow. Lo and behold, Craig responded in a timely manner and from there on it was history in the making. We are appreciative of the dedication Mr. LaBruno and his team displayed all throughout the underwriting process. Years of searching for our first home was not easy, to say the least, but having a knowledgeable and genuine person like Craig on your team, is a sure win. Thank you Craig LaBruno and we look forward to working with you in the soon to near future.
Craig is the best to ever do it honestly. I spoke to about 10 different lenders - and wasn’t really happy with anyone. I was referred to Craig by a family member who used his services and WOW, what an amazing recommendation! Answers every single question you could ask, and always available if you have any questions. Must use!
This was the smoothest, stress free closing I’ve ever had! Craig was attentive, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. He responded quickly to any questions or concerns I had during the mortgage application process.
