Lenders are ranked only by the number of home loans they closed in Ellendale, Delaware in 2025, as reported under the federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. No lender pays for a higher spot. Lenders based in Ellendale are listed first, then lenders elsewhere in Delaware, then lenders from other states that closed loans there.

Mortgage companies have no deposits to rate, so compare their loan programs, median loan and borrower reviews instead. Compare at least three lenders and ask each for a written loan estimate before you choose.
