  "summary": "As of 2026-10-26, LenDb lists 37 loan officers licensed in or based in New York whose lender pages say they speak Spanish. The top-ranked are Albert Diaz (Guaranteed Rate Affinity, LLC, New York), Andrea Jimenez Kullman (Homestead Funding, Albany) and Matthew T Konecni (JPMorgan Chase Bank (Chase Home Lending), Valley Cottage). Ranking is lender-neutral: a license in NY, 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.",
