  "summary": "As of 2026-10-26, LenDb lists 21 loan officers licensed in or based in District of Columbia whose lender pages say they speak Spanish. The top-ranked are Francoise Gonzales (CrossCountry Mortgage, Columbia), Jorge Posada (The Mortgage Link, Inc., Rockville) and Gina Myers (CrossCountry Mortgage, Fairfax). Ranking is lender-neutral: a license in DC, branch location, experience and profile completeness. Nobody pays for placement. Languages come only from loan officers' own lender pages, and most lender pages do not list languages. A loan officer missing from this list may still speak it: not listed means not stated, not that they do not speak it.",
