About Clifford Slater
Welcome! With over 20 years of experience in mortgage business, I have developed a sterling reputation as "Handle With Care," loan officer. I love what I do. And I know buying a home is a big deal. It should not be left up to the internet. As a loan officer, my focus is 100% on helping you be confident and comfortable with your finances. Confident buyers win deals! They who hesitate are lost! If you are refinancing for any reason, I will help you make sure your decision is the best short and long term financial one for you and your family. Add in our amazing rates, low closing costs and expert team, and you come out the winner. Don't be a number in a system or a cog in a machine. Come learn with me, a seasoned professional, and experience the difference. A little more about me… When I am not writing loans I try to do interesting things with my three amazing teenage boys. They and family keep me pretty busy. My boys got me into being a volunteer coaching soccer 11 years ago and now I am the (volunteer) President of Newton Youth Soccer, one of the largest non-profit city soccer clubs in Massachusetts. Beyond that I am an avid runner with a marathon under my belt. I love to play tennis, ultimate frisbee and ski too—really playing or watching just about any sport works for me. When I'm not engaged in any of the above, you are invited to come find me on top of Mount Kilimanjaro, sailing the Nile, backpacking in Southeast Asia, diving in the Caribbean, traipsing through Europe or otherwise hiking/enjoying the great outdoors. I believe strongly in work life balance while helping people as much as possible. Come aboard. Let me help you and your family get where you want to be!
We can make it happen!
