Kind Lending welcomes new branch manager, Jenn Stears, to head its latest branch office based in Daytona Beach, Florida. The company anticipates that Stears will play a key role in assisting clients through the mortgage process and make a meaningful impact within Volusia County and the neighboring areas.

She will also continue to serve clients in Connecticut, Arizona, and California.

Kind Lending President of Retail Jim Linanne, “We are delighted to welcome Jenn Stears to the Kind Lending team. Her experience and dedication to exceptional client care align perfectly with our mission. We are confident that Jenn will be a tremendous asset in her new role and will continue to deliver the outstanding service that Kind Lending is known for.”

In her 24-year long career, Stears has held roles as a processor, underwriter, loan officer assistant, loan officer, and branch manager, all within the broker, wholesale, and retail lender space.

Even with her decades of experience, Stears says she remains driven by her passion for helping people. 

“There's nothing more rewarding than seeing someone achieve the dream of homeownership,” Stears said. “I love educating clients and guiding them through the process, ensuring they make informed and sound financial decisions along the way.”

Kind Lending was most recently featured in National Mortgage Professional's "Most Loved Employers" in 2024, nominated anonymously by its own employees for "constant interplay of seasoned wisdom and youthful energy that fuels our passion and keeps us evolving."
