Korean-speaking loan officers in Washington

As of 2026-10-26, LenDb lists 11 loan officers licensed in or based in Washington whose lender pages say they speak Korean. The top-ranked are Jennifer Kim (CrossCountry Mortgage, Seattle), Martin Seungkook Oh (Loan Factory, Las Vegas) and Rachel Lee (JPMorgan Chase Bank (Chase Home Lending), Bellevue). Ranking is lender-neutral: a license in WA, 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 Korean. Loan officers are included when a WA license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), WA 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.
