Kate Aldinger joined Amalgamated Bank’s Residential Lending Group in February 2015 as a Vice President specializing in first-time home buyer programs such as SONYMA, and Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) grants for first-time home buyers. Kate, who works with various labor unions throughout New York City, including DC-37, has a proven track record of success.
Prior to joining Amalgamated Bank, Kate spent eight years at Bank of America / GMAC and was a branch manager at two boutique New Jersey-based mortgage operations where she promoted, represented and sold mortgage products to a diverse group of customers. While she has found a niche in assisting first-time home buyers, Kate has also provided assistance to customers seeking high-priced luxury homes worth upwards of one million dollars.
Kate understands that a home, at all levels, is a client’s most important luxury. She appreciates the fact that each person she works with comes to her with a unique set of circumstances. She has found throughout her career that listening to a client’s goals and objectives is critical to finding and securing the best customized mortgage solutions. She also believes in providing a high level of hands-on service throughout the entire loan process—a skill that she takes with her from her time as a sales representative at one of the largest volume Jaguar dealerships in the United States.
A native of Cape Cod and an avid horseback rider since her youth, Kate earned a bachelor of science in marketing and business management from Johnson and Wales University in Rhode Island. She is also a graduate of the Xinnix Mortgage Academy of Excellence. Kate maintains three award-winning show horses in Kentucky, and she credits horseback riding for her unparalleled discipline and motivation to succeed.
