# Tagalog-speaking loan officers in California

As of 2026-10-24, LenDb lists 12 loan officers licensed in or based in California whose lender pages say they speak Tagalog. The top-ranked are Charito Mcdougald (JPMorgan Chase Bank (Chase Home Lending), Daly City), Maria Cara (JPMorgan Chase Bank (Chase Home Lending), Cerritos) and Ehmir R Mora (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.
