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

A high approval share with a small median loan usually points to a lender comfortable with first time and FHA borrowers. 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.
An attorney must handle the closing in Louisiana. None at the state level (the Louisiana Constitution bans new real estate transfer taxes); New Orleans charges a flat $325 documentary transaction tax on each sale and on each mortgage of $9,000 or more.
