Background

About Peter Labruna

The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent Bank of America's positions, strategies, or opinions. I’m a seasoned mortgage and credit risk professional with 15+ years of experience across residential lending, SBA financing, and special servicing. Throughout my career, I’ve helped clients navigate complex loan processes—from conventional mortgages and HELOCs to SBA funding and distressed debt resolution—while driving improvements in underwriting quality, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction. Currently serving as an Assistant Vice President at Bank of America, I work directly with clients and internal teams to structure eligible loans, optimize documentation, and ensure a smooth lending experience. I’ve successfully led initiatives that improved underwriting first-touch approvals by 40% in the Northeast division and supported federal lending efforts through the program during COVID-19. I bring a deep understanding of credit guidelines, documentation standards, and real estate market trends, especially within the Buffalo/Niagara region. Colleagues know me as a proactive, self-motivated team player who delivers results while building trust and rapport with clients and partners alike. I’m actively exploring remote or hybrid opportunities in credit risk, special servicing, or mortgage operations where I can contribute to loan quality, risk mitigation, and portfolio performance. Let’s connect if you’re hiring or collaborating in this space.
