This is a real review and a real 5-star ranking. We were first time home buyers with very little knowledge on the process and Anthony Casa and Jacob Snow walked us through the whole system and provided automated checklists of what they needed, documents to provide, lawyers to call and what to expect. If you are a first timer or a experienced veteran home buyer I would recommend Garden State Home Loans. Highlights in order - 1) Best rates around with paying the lowest points - truly unmatched and we shopped 10 different mortgage brokers and lenders 2) Nothing was hidden or unexpected in closing - we knew every cost that was on our closing statement and on our closing day our lawyer mentioned that of the 5 closing statements they had that day, we had the best rate and best (least) closing charges 3) Ease of their online web portal for documentation requirements, document providing and messaging directly with the GSHL team 4) Closed in 45 days (or less) - Garden State told us after 3 weeks that we were ready to close 5) Customer service & Responsiveness of the GSHL team - We never waited longer than 30 minutes for an online message response and never had to wait when calling directly. So when you do a search on Bankrate or any other mortgage search I would advise you to put GSHL to the top of the list. It truly was easy and we had no issues throughout the process.

We recently purchased our home and Garden State loans were our lenders. I am very pleased and happy with their service. We shopped around different lenders and Garden State offered the best mortgage package. There was no hidden charges or complicated numbers to understand in their mortgage package. As easy as it can be. The process went very smooth and when I have any issues or concerns I reached out to Anthony Casa for help. I had to reach out to Anthony at some odd hours a few times and Anthony was always happy to help me even at those odd hours. We infact had all the approvals and commitments ready to close in less than 20 days. We did have a unique closing situation and the sellers made it a little difficult for us to close. Anthony and his team patiently worked through the process and were very knowledgeable of the situation and helped as along the way. In short, the experience was Fantastic ! Highly recommended !

The best lending experience any home owner/ borrower can ask for. Not only Anthony, the president of the company, provides the lowest interest rate but also provides a top notch customer service. Most importantly, Anthony can deliver what he promises in contrast with other big lenders who play a bait-and-switch game with borrowers. When I worked with Garden State home loans, I directly work with two people assigned to my case file. However, when I worked with a nationwide lending company, I had to communicate with at least five different people and each one of them only knew a small segment of my case file which could be very stressful and hard for borrowers to have effective communications. As a third time homeowner, It was definitely a much better lending experience when I directly worked with local lender like Garden State Home loans. I can proudly call Garden State Home Loans as my go-to lender!

When we started our home search, we called various different banks, brokers, credit unions to see who could offer us the best rate. GSL not only offered us THE best rate on the market, but also a smooth transaction and close. We’ve all heard the saying “If it sounds too good to be true it probably is”, not the case here. Anthony Casa and his team are fast but not at the cost of efficiency. We received our mortgage commitment within 2 weeks and closed within 5 weeks, insane! We even received a refund check in the mail they had promised, for a mix-up that happened at the very beginning. Honestly I can’t rave enough about them, they are simply THE broker of choice! From my family to you- thank you GSL! We love our new home!

We recently purchased a new home and chose GSHL for our mortgage. They offered the best rates we could find, by far, and the process for getting started was very easy. We worked with Susan Colella, who was always helpful to answer questions. Our only minor issue was that our own Real Estate Agent seemed never to be able to reach GSHL with her questions -- but going through us it would be fine. The online application process and the way GSHL has an online submission portal for answering mortgage conditions was great. It was easy, quick, and made sure we always knew the status of our loan. In the end I would highly recommend GSHL to friends & family if they are in the market for a loan.

being a first time home buyer my fiance and I am very happy with Garden State Home Loans, they were quick to answer any questions and provide any information that we needed. they were very good with explaining the process of everything and also teaching us about everything along the way. they worked very well with our realtor and lawyer and made sure we understood everything. one thing that we enjoyed was when the president Anthony Casa reached out to talk to us and made sure we were happy with everything the day of signing. i was recommended to them from my brother in law and i will be recommending them to anyone we know that is looking for a home loan

I would highly recommend Garden State Home Loans for a mortgage, their service, responsiveness and attentiveness to my needs and concerns were unprecedented. I remember calling and regularly speaking with Anthony Casa late at night throughout the entire process, furthermore, I felt as though I was constantly kept in the loop regarding everything that was happening. Anthony was incredibly responsive and willing to help educate me and answer all of my questions. Overall, Garden State Home Loans had great rates, no fees and they closed my loan in less than 1 week. My biggest regret is that I did not work with Anthony and his team sooner.

Anthony Casa and his team at Garden State Home Loans provided a no nonsense straight forward product with the highest level of customer service and expertise. I shopped around and no other bank, lender or broker was able to even match the rate and terms Garden State provided. Most of the lenders told me to go with Garden State because they could not figure out how Anthony could provide that low of a rate and with favorable terms, but cautioned me to read the fine print for hidden or masked fees. There was no fine print or hidden fees just great communication and service throughout the process. Thank you Garden State Home Loans.

I was referred to Garden State Home Loans via a colleague at work. He had used Anthony Casa and his team two times to refinance his home. Upon his recommendation, I reached out to Anthony regarding a 15 year refinance for my home. I am so grateful I did! Anthony and Brandi were amazing! From my first call to inquire about a refi to the closing, everything was seamless. Every question I had was responded to immediately and professionally. The rate was very competitive! I will definitely use this team again because they made the entire process incredibly easy and efficient.

I highly recommend Garden State Home Loans. We worked with Justin DeJoseph and the entire staff was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and most importantly Justin delivered on every single thing that he promised us. My wife and I tried to refinance with other companies several times over the last few years, but every time there was a problem. There were no issues at all with GSHL, it was only a few weeks from my first phone call speaking with Justin, until we were signing the final paperwork. My wife and I cannot thank them enough.

I initially locked in with another lender but when my new construction was delayed and the lock expired, I gave Garden state home loans a shot. They were able to give me a very competitive rate and credit AND close in time, which was not easy since my deadline was very tight and underwriting had a lot of things to verify. Nevertheless Christopher and Michael kept me informed and went above and beyond to make sure I was able to close before my lease was up. I would definitely recommend them!

For the 3rd time now, we have received incredible rates and service from the team at Garden State Home Loans (2 refinances and 1 purchase). They made the process as simple as possible by accepting all of our documentation electronically, responding very quickly to any questions or concerns (even nights and weekends), and meeting all our contractual requirements on time. They were such a pleasure to work and we would certainly use them again. Highly recommended!

We recently closed on our second refinance with Garden State Home Loans. From start to finish, Anthony and his dedicated team provided excellent service and support. The loan process can often be difficult and tedious, but Anthony was able to see us through to closing with minimal bumps along the way. I greatly appreciate his responsiveness and industry knowledge and would highly recommend GSHL to anyone looking for a new mortgage or refinance!

GSL did a fantastic job wrapping up my entire loan process in less than 10 days given there was an urgent need to get it done that fast. The whole process end-to-end could not have gone smoother and there was always someone ready to help at any given point with just about anything. Super friendly, hyper-proactive and getting it done come to mind when I think of GSL. And oh, Justin DeJoseph is the man! he should make his middle name "iron man".

Anthony and team go out of their way to make all of the steps in the process as easy as possible. They offer great rates and are always looking out their clients best interest. I have completed several deals with Anthony and we are constantly looking at other opportunities. My current rate is always on his radar and he keeps me up to date with changes in the market and potential gains. He never forgets a client after the deal is closed.

Anthony and his team at Garden State Loans are nothing short of amazing! We were deceived by 2 other brokers and we thought we would have to push back our closing date but Anthony and his team pulled together our mortgage in a week! He managed to turn a very stressful situation into a great first time home buying experience. We will definitely be using GSL for all of our future mortgage needs. Thank you again Anthony!!!

I cannot recommend Garden State highly enough. As a first time home buyer, I had many questions and sometimes utter confusion about the whole process. Max and his team always returned my calls and emails promptly and patiently answered and explained all my questions. They made the process as smooth as possible and got me a great rate as well. These people are consummate professionals who are extremely customer focused.

We recently had another excellent experience with Garden State Home Loans. After closing on our first home in January of this year, Justin DeJoseph at GSHL proactively reached out to us to let us know that mortgage rates had dropped and he could save us some money. He and his team walked us through the refi process, picked up our closing costs, and substantially lowered our monthly payment. Thanks again!

Garden State Home did a great job in getting us set up with a mortgage. The mortgage we required was not a straight forward loan application, and GSHL worked to clear every hurdle and get us the loan we needed. Chris did a fantastic job handling this more complex loan application. I highly recommend Garden State Home loans, they have competitive rates and great service.

Truly an A+ operation! Anthony Casa and his team made the refinance of our primary residence a piece of cake. They walked us through every step of the process and then answered all of our questions very timely and thoroughly. I am very impressed with their service and the incredibly low rates they were able to find me. I would use them again without hesitation.

This place is the Real deal. Amazing customer service with the most affordable lending options. They were up front with everything and very responsive to all of my questions and needs. They really made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process, from the agreement of sale, to final closing. They earned my trust and completely earned this 5 star rating!

Closed a refinance with them in a short amount of time - and it was pretty painless. They are super knowledgeable and happy to spend an hour+ on the phone answering *numerous* questions I had for them -- and that was before I actually decided I would go with them. I was impressed with the time and detail they paid to me on the first phone call. Nice job guys!

Garden State Home Loans was fabulous! They helped me get a mortgage during a tricky situation and for the best possible rate. Lots of financing options to meet your particular need. Closing went very smoothly. No issues at all along the way. Sue was wonderful and really took the time to get to know me and my situation and set me up with a great mortgage.
