Lenders based in Rockford are listed first, then lenders elsewhere in Illinois, then lenders from other states that closed loans there. Banks and credit unions carry a MonitorBankRates health grade, star rating and Texas Ratio, so you can judge how financially sound they are. 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.
