Before you choose

Jumbo guidelines are set by each lender, with stricter reserves, credit and documentation than conforming loans.

  • What reserves and credit score do your jumbo programs require?
  • Do you offer interest-only or ARM jumbo options?
  • Can you do a jumbo with less than 20 percent down?

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 WV license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), WV 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 (licensed since, per the regulator records we hold) and profile completeness. Disciplinary history is not yet checked by LenDb; verify at NMLS Consumer Access. No paid placement. Methodology.
