Lenders based in Ruston are listed first, then lenders elsewhere in Louisiana, 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.

How to Read This List

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.
