Where CAROLINA ONE MORTGAGE, LLC stands
Statewide, CAROLINA ONE MORTGAGE, LLC ranks #43 of 327 lenders in South Carolina by 2025 closed loans in this dataset, purchase and refinance combined. Below, its standing in the counties where it closed the most purchase loans in 2025. Loan-count ranks include every lender that reported at least 5 loans in the county; rate and cost ranks compare only lenders with at least 30 closed purchase loans there, so a one-off low median never outranks a lender with real volume.

What these numbers are, and are not
Everything above is computed from the FFIEC's HMDA Modified Loan/Application Register, filtered to originated, first-lien, owner-occupied principal-residence loans that were not business-purpose or reverse mortgages, in county groups of at least 5 loans. These are medians of loans that already closed, not advertised offers, and the public file contains no credit scores. A lender whose customers skew toward larger loans, stronger credit, or paying discount points will show different medians than its neighbors at identical pricing. The methodology page documents every step.
The way to compare actual offers is the Loan Estimate: every lender must give you one within 3 business days of application, on the same standardized form, and its origination charges are binding. If you have one in hand, the checker compares it against your county's figures in your browser.
Common questions
What mortgage rates did CAROLINA ONE MORTGAGE, LLC borrowers get in 2025?
Across the counties where CAROLINA ONE MORTGAGE, LLC closed the most home-purchase loans in 2025, its county median rates ran from 6% to 6.75%. Each figure is a median of closed loans reported under HMDA, not an advertised offer, and the table on this page shows each county next to its all-lender benchmark.
Can I get these rates from CAROLINA ONE MORTGAGE, LLC today?
Not from this page. These are medians of loans that already closed, under those borrowers' credit profiles, loan sizes, discount points, and lock dates. To learn your own number, apply and get a Loan Estimate, which federal rules require within 3 business days and make close to free.
Why might CAROLINA ONE MORTGAGE, LLC's medians differ from the county median?
Partly pricing, partly customer mix. The public HMDA file contains no credit scores, so a lender serving stronger-credit borrowers, larger loans, or borrowers who paid points will show different medians than its neighbors at identical pricing.
Where does this data come from?
The FFIEC's public HMDA Modified Loan/Application Register, the loan-level data nearly every mortgage lender must file each year, filtered to originated, first-lien, owner-occupied, non-business, non-reverse loans, in county groups of at least 5.
