Here's what my clients are saying...

We worked with Baret to secure a mortgage on our home. Throughout the process Baret was extremely responsive and professional. He has in-depth knowledge of the local market, which is essential when making a decision around what mortgage vehicle would best suit ones needs; especially in the Jersey City / Hoboken area. He customizes loans, while clarifying nuisances, with the lender BEFORE you select a mortgage product to ensure it will approve and close. When working with Baret you can rest assured that he is placing you in the very best for your situation possible. I would strongly recommend him and will use him again in the future.

Aimee S., Hoboken, NJ

Baret is an amazing mortgage consultant and I never hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to get a loan or refinance. He stays ahead of information and products and helps my clients find the right fit for their situation. He is also an easy going person that nothing seems to be a problem for which is so great to work with in any market.

Bea B.

Baret and his team were excellent to work with throughout our condo purchase, in a compressed time period (less than 60 days from initial viewing to close). He knows the market and works well with brokers, attorneys, and other partners, but was also busy behind the scenes so that we could focus on getting the right condo and not worrying about the packet for closing -- we just showed up, reviewed everything (which was perfect) and moved in. Great experience, highly recommend Baret and his team.

Dave W., New York, NY

Got a good rate with no points on a FHA mortgage when we bought our home 2 years ago and refinanced the next year at 3.75% for a few hundred dollars. We tried a few other banks and they either gave us a smaller mortgage, or higher rate, and sometimes with points. Baret actually reached out to us to see if we were interested in the refi, as we weren't in the market to do so at the time.

Hasani B., New York, NY

Baret is simply the BEST in the industry! He has more knowledge & creativity with difficult loans & always comes through with every client. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a mortgage, you will not be disappointed!

Ingrid H.

Baret was recommended by family and friends and he turned out to be a a great resource when I applied for a house mortgage. He was able to answer all our questions and has a great wealth of knowledge. We would do business with him again.

Joe D., New York, NY

Whenever Baret does the loan for a client of mine the process is a smooth one and his knowledge of both the local real estate market and expertise in his field are first class. From pre-approval through to closing he is always available to both the client and the agents involved in the transaction and it is always a pleasure doing business with him. Highly recommended.

Lee W.

Baret helped me with a mortgage and the entire process was painless. He is responsive, honest, reliable and creative - we had hit some red tape along the way and yet due to his persistence, were still able to move forward. I have nothing but good things to say and have since referred a few friends this way. Would definitely work with him again in the future.

Lisa T., NY

As a real estate broker it is important for me to be able to refer great people to make sure my clients get to buy the home they want and Baret is remarkable at what he does in both knowledge and service provided. I can say that he does loan for more then 40 clines of mine every year and he has never not closed on a loan that he said he could do. I promise that once you speak with him you will know that there is a difference in mortgage people.

Michael K.

I've worked with Baret for years. The most important thing he brings to the table is consistency. He always follows through and keeps myself and clients in the loop. I never have to worry if the home will close. Very professional and informed.

Natalie M.

Baret had worked with me in the purchase of my home. He is a great resource and knowledgeable about market trends and forecasting. He was referred to me by a colleague and is by far the best recommendation made to us.

Oliver C., Piscataway, NJ

This is the second time I have used Baret when applying for a mortgage, and the experience keeps getting better and better. Each time, the process was smooth from start to finish, and all my worries were put at ease. I wouldn't trust anyone but Baret with my mortgage needs. Thank you for helping me become a homeowner again!

Sarah M., New York, NY

Baret is truly one of the best. His incredible knowledge of the local real estate market as well as the financial markets and mortgage products is above and beyond any I've ever seen. He always responds in a timely manner and is proactive to find my clients the best product that is going to meet their needs. Not only do I recommend Baret to my clients, he helped me with my personal mortgage as well.

Scott S.

Baret has helped many of my clients get mortgages in the Hoboken and surrounding areas for at least the last 10 years. He has also helped me get a mortgage on my current home. As a Licensed Real Estate Broker. Having a knowledgeable and reliable mortgage broker in your group of trusted associates is essential for the benefit of your clients. Baret is truly one of them. He is knowledgeable right of the gate with current rates and needed qualifications at his fingertips to let myself and my clients know if a mortgage is obtainable in most scenarios. He is accessible when needed and from my experience will not attempt to place a mortgage if he feels the property or the clients will not get approved. He has often stepped in to clean-up and save deals attempted by less competent lenders. Baret is at the top of my recommended mortgage brokers list.

Steve M.

Baret handled my mortgage when I bought my place and used him again when I decided to refinance two years later. The closing both times went smoothly without any surprises. He'll answer any questions that you have.

loanDepot Lifetime Guarantee ("Guarantee")  —  Subject to the conditions and contact requirements outlined below, the Guarantee applies to the refinancing of an outstanding loan originated by loanDepot that is secured by the same property upon which that borrower previously received from loanDepot a loan and “loanDepot Lifetime Guarantee” certificate.  The Guarantee is non-transferable and does not apply to loans obtained to purchase a new property, new loans that result in the creation of a separate lien on the current property (i.e., a “home equity loan”), renovation loans, bond loan programs, down payment assistance programs or personal loans (i.e., loans that are not secured by the property). The Guarantee also does not apply to loans applied for through third parties (e.g., Lending Tree) or originated through loanDepot’s Wholesale division.  The Guarantee may only be used by submitting an application directly to loanDepot.


For Guarantees issued on or after January 1, 2019, the Guarantee may not be redeemed within 12 calendar months of the Date Issued. The ability to redeem the Guarantee in part or in whole also is subject to future changes in Federal or state law, or investor or guarantor restrictions on refinancing the existing loan.  loanDepot cannot guarantee that the borrower will be approved for a future loan, the interest rate for a future loan, or the future appraised value of the home.  The borrower’s ability to qualify for a future loan will be subject to the loan program terms and conditions available at that time.  For future loans meeting the above requirements and which are successfully closed, the appraisal fee will be reimbursed at the closing of the loan transaction and no lender fees will be charged. “Lender fees” do not include discount points associated with the loan transaction.  “Appraisal fee” includes only the fee associated with the first appraisal on the loan transaction and does not include any ancillary appraisal fees that may be charged in connection with the loan transaction (e.g., second appraisal fee, appraisal re-inspection fee, appraisal recertification fee, etc.). Terms and conditions are subject to change without notice.


Future applicants must contact loanDepot directly via the website: www.loandepot.com/MyGuarantee or via telephone (877-395-7381) to qualify for the Guarantee. Applying for a loanDepot loan indirectly through a third party (e.g., LendingTree) makes the borrower ineligible for this Guarantee.
