Persian (Farsi)-speaking loan officers in California

As of 2026-10-26, LenDb lists 11 loan officers licensed in or based in California whose lender pages say they speak Persian (Farsi). The top-ranked are Maryam Sehrgosha (CMG Home Loans, San Ramon), Orly Hakimi (Lendwise Mortgage, Inc., Woodland Hills) and Sia Salimitari (Loan Factory). Ranking is lender-neutral: a license in CA, 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.

How this list is ranked

A loan officer is listed when their own lender page lists Persian (Farsi). Loan officers are included when a CA license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), CA is listed on their lender page, or they work at a bank or credit union (likely federally registered; verify at NMLS). Then branch location, experience and profile completeness. No paid placement. Methodology.
