Ranked by real Google ratings and review volume · How we chose

By Lorian Hartfield, Real Estate and Financial Expert · ✓ Updated November 2026 · 8 min read

We compared 13 mortgage brokers in Baton Rouge on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

A home purchase starts with one phone call, and the mortgage brokers in Baton Rouge that turn up on Google are mostly direct lenders and loan officers rather than brokers. Between them these firms hold more than 2,000 Google reviews, with ratings from 4.4 to a perfect 5, so the star count matters less than who you will work with.

Short answer: Assurance Financial is rated 5.0 from more than 600 Google reviews, and DSLD Mortgage has the most Google reviews on this page at 4.8 from more than 760. Synergy One Lending holds 4.9 and Jamie Taylor, The Mortgage Firm a perfect 5.0. Rates and fees vary by borrower, so none are published here. Ask each firm for a written loan estimate.

Reading the scorecards

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the firm, set against the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. Scorecards describe customer service on Google, not loan terms.
