Joe Colella

Joe Colella is a trusted mortgage lender in Washington Township, New Jersey, proudly serving families, first-time homebuyers, and real estate investors across Gloucester County and neighboring towns throughout South Jersey, including Sewell, Turnersville, Glassboro, Deptford, and Pitman. Known for his patient, loyal, and results-driven approach, Joe helps clients turn complex home financing into a clear, confident, and stress-free experience — guiding them from pre-approval to closing with care and precision.

Before joining Embrace Home Loans, Joe built a reputation as the top-producing loan officer at Garden State Home Loans, a division of OceanFirst Bank. When Garden State Home Loans ended its residential lending operations, he saw an opportunity to bring his expertise to a company that truly aligns with his values — one that emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and putting borrowers first.

At Embrace, Joe leverages exclusive programs like the Property Value Certificate (PVC) and Approved to Move, giving buyers a competitive edge in the fast-paced New Jersey housing market. Combined with Embrace’s strong marketing support, personalized loan options, and fast, transparent process, Joe helps borrowers move quickly and confidently toward homeownership.

Born and raised in Washington Township, Joe remains deeply connected to his South Jersey roots. He lives there today with his partner, Christina, and their family — his son Joey and three stepchildren, Nora, Farra, and AJ — along with their two beloved bulldogs, Bubba and Rosie. Outside of work, he’s passionate about Brazilian jiu-jitsu, fitness, and spending quality time with family. His idea of a perfect day? A sunny afternoon on the beach followed by a great steak and seafood dinner with loved ones.

With a strong record of success and a genuine commitment to his clients, Joe is more than a mortgage lender — he’s a trusted local guide helping South Jersey families achieve their homeownership goals and build stronger communities.
