Washington Mortgage & Lending Intelligence

A source-backed view of Washington mortgage-market activity, DFI Consumer Services enforcement with exact NMLS identity, and current WSHFC homebuyer programs. This is not a ranking, recommendation, or Trust Score. There is no current live Washington mortgage-company roster in this snapshot.

Local catalog pages remain at /local-lenders/washington. Those pages are not this official-source intelligence snapshot. No Washington county or city routes are published from this page.

Market findings

  • 2025 HMDA recorded 286,871 applications, 174,653 originations, and 44,562 denials for properties located in Washington (15.53% denial rate). That is not a license count.
  • Purchase applications are 41.80% of the file and refinance applications are 34.44%. Conventional applications are 80.96%. Denial-reason fields are not in this extract.
  • All 39 Washington counties are in this HMDA geography, sorted alphabetically on this page. No Washington county or city routes are published.
  • DFI Consumer Services published a bounded HTML table of 777 recent enforcement rows. 102 carry an exact NMLS ID (152 distinct NMLS values). 675 are name-only and stay at event grain — UNSAFE_FOR_ADVERSE_PROFILE_ATTACH. Order count is not quality.
  • DFI year-end reported entities as of 2025-12-31 include 354 mortgage brokers and 1,104 consumer loan companies. Those are not current live licensed-lender totals. Active MLOs (20,126) are people, not companies, and are not a public person directory.
  • CFPB recorded 10,340 Washington mortgage complaint rows. A complaint is not a violation and is not a company ranking.

2025 Washington mortgage market

HMDA is a mortgage-application filing extract for properties located in Washington. It is not a Washington DFI license roster, not a quality ranking, and the denial rate does not prove discrimination. An HMDA reporter is not a Washington-licensed company. A Washington office or HQ on an HMDA reporter is geography, not licensing.

County is the HMDA property-location county. This table is not a county page and is not a ranking. Washington has 39 counties; this extract includes all 39. A county is market context only.

Who regulates Washington mortgage companies?

Washington DFI Division of Consumer Services licenses Mortgage Brokers, Consumer Loan Companies, and Mortgage Loan Originators. Escrow agents are a separate DFI class. Depository banks and credit unions are chartered separately. CMS-style federal HMDA filing is not a DFI license. An NMLS ID is not current Washington authority by itself.

How to verify a company or MLO

Mortgage brokers, consumer loan companies, and MLOs verify through NMLS Consumer Access. Escrow and some other DFI classes may use the DFI Licensee Database. Neither search was scraped. This page is not an NMLS shadow directory.

DFI Consumer Services enforcement

A DFI order is not a CFPB complaint and is not a quality ranking. NOTICE is not a final order. Statement of Charges is not a final finding. Exact NMLS is required for adverse profile attachment. Name-only rows stay at event grain. This bounded HTML table is recent Consumer Services actions, not a complete historical bulk file. The 2025 year-end aggregate of 91 enforcement actions issued is a dated DFI statistic, not this table's row count.
