About Mortgage Lending in South Florida
This page ranks the most active mortgage lenders in Miami-Dade and Broward counties by the number of recorded mortgage instruments in public property records. Data is sourced from county clerk recordings and updated weekly.
South Florida's real estate market is one of the most active in the nation, attracting domestic and international buyers alike. Major national banks, credit unions, and private lenders compete for market share across residential, commercial, and investment property financing. Understanding which lenders dominate the market can help buyers identify competitive mortgage options and help industry professionals track lending trends.
The total volume column reflects the sum of all recorded mortgage amounts for each lender. Average mortgage size can indicate whether a lender focuses on residential loans (typically under $1M) or commercial and luxury lending (often exceeding $1M). Mortgage data is extracted from recorded instruments filed with the county and may include refinances, purchase money mortgages, and home equity lines of credit.
