About Cliff Saunders

Hey, I'm Clifton Saunders – The Mortgage Mentor!
Helping families find homes, one mortgage at a time.

Buying a home is one of the most significant decisions you'll ever make, and I'm here to ensure you get it right. Over the years, I've had the honor of helping thousands of families achieve homeownership, and I want to help you, too.

As a Texas mortgage lender, I specialize in first-time homebuyer loans, VA loans for veterans, and down payment assistance programs. I believe homeownership should be within everyone's reach.

I know firsthand how important having the right home is. As a father of six, I've seen how a house becomes more than just walls and a roof—it's where life happens. It's where you raise your kids, make memories, and build your future. I also know that buying a home can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. My team and I are here to guide you every step of the way without the stress and confusion.

Let's make homeownership happen for you. No pressure, no stress—just honest advice, real options, and a plan that works for your future.

Pathway to HomeOwnership

Are you Ready?

What is the Pathway to

Homeownership Initiative?


The Pathway to Homeownership offers qualified borrowers in select areas up to $6,000 in assistance. These funds are not a loan that needs to be repaid and are available to first-time homebuyers in designated areas.

This program can also potentially be combined with other down payment assistance programs to offer you even more support as you build the life of your dreams.
