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

A mortgage deal can turn on whether someone picks up the phone when a closing date slips. The mortgage brokers in Philadelphia on this page hold more than 630 Google reviews between them, rated from 4.7 to 5.0, but the list mixes brokerages with loan officers at lenders, and that difference decides whose loan options you can see.

Short answer: UMortgage has the most Google reviews on this page, 4.8 stars from more than 300 reviews. Go Magnum Loans (4.8, more than 140 reviews) and Paramount Mortgage Resources (4.7) describe themselves as brokerages, while Sean Logue at CrossCountry Mortgage and Mike Tavani at Rate are loan officers at lenders. Mortgage costs depend on your loan and lender, so compare written fee and rate quotes.

How the ratings work

The numbers on this page are public Google data from the date shown. Rating is each business’s live Google average, and review volume is how many customers have rated it. Confidence weighs the rating by volume, so a 4.8 backed by hundreds of reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 backed by fewer. Recency reflects how lately people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does a mortgage cost to arrange in Philadelphia?

Google doesn’t show fees or rates for these businesses, so there’s no table here, and costs depend on the loan and the lender. Rates and fees vary with your credit, down payment, loan program and the lender behind the loan, and a broker and a lender can be paid differently. Ask each one for a written breakdown of the rate, closing costs and any broker or origination charges before you commit.

What to ask a mortgage broker or lender

  • Are you a broker who can quote several lenders, or a loan officer at one lender?
  • What are the rate, the closing costs and any origination or broker fees, in writing?
  • Which loan programs fit my situation?
  • How long from application to closing, and who handles my file day to day?
  • How do you communicate if the closing date moves?
