About Kendra Lamanna

Kendra Lamanna is a Senior Loan Originator with New American Funding who is passionate about helping clients turn homeownership goals into reality. Originally from Rochester, New York, Kendra relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina in 2019 and proudly calls it home.

 

As a devoted mom to her daughter, Kendra brings heart, empathy, and purpose into everything she does. She believes mortgage lending should be more than a transaction—it should be a relationship built on trust, education, and genuine care. Her goal is to turn every client interaction into a personal, supportive experience.

 

Creativity plays a central role in who Kendra is. Outside of lending, she enjoys photography, art, and hands-on crafts, as well as skiing and golfing. Her creative mindset extends into her work, where strategic thinking and problem-solving help her structure home loan solutions and find the best possible product for each client.

 

Licensed in multiple states, Kendra has the ability to help clients across the country—whether they’re purchasing a home, refinancing, or simply seeking guidance. She is committed to being a trusted financial advocate throughout every step of the journey.

 

You find the home — Kendra will find the loan.
