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

Compare at least three lenders and ask each for a written loan estimate before you choose.
