Choosing a Mortgage Lender That Aligns With Your Ethics
Some or all of the mortgage lenders featured on our site are advertising partners of NerdWallet, but this does not influence our evaluations, lender star ratings or the order in which lenders are listed on the page. Our opinions are our own. Here is a list of our partners.
Finding the right mortgage lender comes with a ton of considerations, including loan types, interest rates and, of course, how much they'll lend you. And just as you might choose to shop small or buy from Black-owned brands, you can also take your values into account when looking for a home loan. Opting to use this criterion when selecting a lender could direct some of the profits from your loan to communities or causes that are important to you.
That said, voting with your dollars isn't straightforward when it comes to home loans. Here's what makes it so complicated, plus four types of lenders you can look for if you're interested in a more ethical home loan.
