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