# Russian-speaking loan officers in Florida

As of 2026-10-26, LenDb lists 8 loan officers licensed in or based in Florida whose lender pages say they speak Russian. The top-ranked are JJ Ellong (CrossCountry Mortgage, Orlando), Arthur Starikov (HighTechLending Inc) and Greg Keveyan (Loan Factory). Ranking is lender-neutral: a license in FL, 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.
