Denver-Area's 100 largest residential mortgage lenders
The 100 largest residential mortgage lenders in the Denver-area originated more than $19 billion in home purchase loans in 2024. Denver-area or local is defined as the seven-county Denver metro (Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties).
The online version of this ranking expands beyond what appears in print; another 75 residential mortgage lenders are included in our digital rankings, in addition to the 25 featured in this week's print edition.
This week's List is part of a shift in our research methodology and philosophy in 2025, one that will emphasize more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 46 sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. We anticipate this effort will identify thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ's footprint — this year alone.
Information on The List was analyzed by ACBJ from HMDA-LAR data published by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. Figures include purchase loans originated in 2024 for residential properties — defined as buildings with four or fewer units — in the seven-counties. Only mortgages used for property purchases are included; refinance, home improvement, cash-out refinancing and other purposes are not included.
Multifamily mortgages also are excluded from this analysis. The Denver Business Journal could not independently verify information on the List. In case of ties, lenders are listed alphabetically.
