Central Florida's 100 largest residential mortgage lenders for purchase and refinance activity
on July 30, 2026 at 6:50 pm
The 100 largest residential mortgage lenders in Central Florida originated $16 billion in home purchase loans in 2025. The online version of this ranking expands beyond what appears in print; another 80 residential mortgage lenders are included in our digital rankings, in addition to the 20 featured in this week's print edition. This week's List continues a shift in our research methodology and philosophy, one that emphasizes more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 40-plus sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. This effort identified thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ's footprint — last year alone. Information was analyzed by ACBJ from mortgage loan records released through the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HDMA) platform. This analysis only includes loans reported to the HMDA. For more details, read the List's full methodology here. Figures include purchase loans originated in 2025 for residential properties — defined as buildings with four or fewer units — in the Central Florida area. The local area includes Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia counties. Only mortgages used for property purchases are included; refinance, home improvement, cash-out refinancing and other purposes are not included. OBJ could not independently verify information on the List. For information about this and other Orlando Business Journal Lists, please contact Researcher Logan Dragone at ld******@*********ls.com
