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

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.

Attorneys customarily handle closings in Maryland. State transfer tax of 0.5 percent of the price (0.25 percent, paid by the seller, when the buyer is a first time Maryland homebuyer), plus county transfer taxes of 0 to 1.5 percent and county recordation taxes on deeds and mortgages ranging from about $5 to $14 per $1,000, with Montgomery County using tiered rates up to 2.27 percent above $1 million.

How are mortgage lenders in Essex, MD ranked on this page?

Lenders are ranked only by the number of home loans they closed in Essex, Maryland during 2025 as reported under the federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. No lender pays to be listed or to rank higher, and reviews do not change the order. Counts cover first and second lien loans on one to four unit homes for purchase, refinance and home improvement; home equity lines are counted separately.

Methodology and Sources

Lender rankings use the loan level records that lenders file under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, published by the FFIEC and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for the 2025 reporting year. Counts include originated first and subordinate lien loans on one to four unit homes in Essex, Maryland for purchase, refinance and other purposes; home equity lines of credit are counted separately and reverse mortgages and business purpose loans are excluded. Approval share is originations plus approved but not accepted applications divided by all completed applications (withdrawn and incomplete files are excluded). Lender type comes from the lender's federal regulator and the FFIEC National Information Center. City figures use the Census tracts that make up Essex. Health grades are MonitorBankRates data and are current as of the date shown. Lenders below the HMDA reporting thresholds do not appear. MonitorBankRates receives no payment for placement on this page. Last updated October 8, 2026.
