Before you choose

Few lenders make share loans, and the co-op board sets its own financing and debt-to-income rules on top of the lender's.

  • Do you lend on co-op shares in this building, or have you before?
  • How do you coordinate with the co-op board package and recognition agreement?
  • What maximum financing does this building allow?

How this list is ranked

Specialty evidence carries the most weight (production data, then lender page, then self-reported). Loan officers are listed when a SC license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), SC is listed on their lender page, or they work at a bank or credit union (likely federally registered; verify at NMLS). Then branch location, experience (the earliest state license record in the regulator rosters we hold, or years the loan officer states) and profile completeness. Disciplinary history is not yet checked by LenDb; verify at NMLS Consumer Access. No paid placement. Methodology.
