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

A large median loan with conventional and jumbo programs points to a move up and jumbo specialist. The health grade says whether a bank or credit union is financially sound; it says nothing about service, which is what the reviews below are for.

Attorneys customarily handle closings in Kentucky. State deed transfer tax of $0.50 per $500 of value (0.1 percent), paid by the seller (KRS 142.050); no mortgage recording tax.
