Brian LaRue


Brian LaRue is the President and founder of Red Oak Mortgage, a residential mortgage lender established in 2005 and now licensed in seven states. Under his leadership, Red Oak has become one of New Jersey’s most respected independent lenders, known for its responsiveness and personal approach.

With nearly $600 million in personally originated volume, Brian brings over two decades of hands-on experience navigating an evolving mortgage landscape. He specializes in non-delegated correspondent lending and is a strong advocate for its client-focused advantages.

His approach has always centered on earning long-term trust — with borrowers, referral partners, and colleagues alike.

Outside the office, Brian is a husband and father of three, holds dual U.S. and Italian citizenship, and is an avid pilot holding a commercial pilot certificate with instrument and multi-engine ratings. Because apparently, mortgages alone aren't exciting enough.
