We compared 19 mortgage brokers in Denver on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

A broker shops your loan across several lenders, while a lender funds it in-house, and the mortgage brokers in Denver on this page are a mix of both. Together they hold more than 1,100 Google reviews, and none is rated below 4.9, so the useful question is which kind of professional fits your purchase.

Short answer: Dave Cook, Denver Mortgage Lounge, a division of Luminate Bank and so a lender, has the most Google reviews here, more than 280, at a 5.0 rating. Mortgage Maestro Group and Milestone Home Mortgage describe themselves as brokers, American Liberty Mortgage - Denver as a lender, and Google lists Jennifer Fairfield at Rate (NMLS #224189) as both a mortgage broker and a mortgage lender. Rates and fees depend on your credit, down payment and loan type, so ask each for a written loan estimate.

How the scores work

Every figure on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many clients have rated the business, ranked against the other businesses here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from hundreds of people counts for more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently clients still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What drives mortgage costs in Denver (2026)

Mortgage rates and closing costs depend on your credit, down payment, loan type and the lender’s fees, and they change often, so this page gives no figures. A broker can compare offers from several lenders, while a lender quotes its own. Whichever you choose, ask for a written loan estimate and compare the total cost of the loan, not just the rate. Nothing here is financial advice, and no outcome is guaranteed.
