  "summary": "As of 2026-10-26, LenDb lists 23 loan officers licensed in or based in South Carolina whose lender pages say they speak Spanish. The top-ranked are Dinky Warr (CrossCountry Mortgage, Lexington), Francisco J Ippoliti (JPMorgan Chase Bank (Chase Home Lending), Columbia) and Jim Duffy (ALCOVA Mortgage, Summerville). Ranking is lender-neutral: a license in SC, 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.",
