Rick Scherer and Rich Clayton embarked on a remarkable journey when they co-founded OnTo Mortgage in 2019. Drawing from their extensive expertise, the duo fused their skills and vision to establish a company dedicated to helping families attain their dreams of homeownership or improve their mortgage terms.

With a collective experience of over 45 years, Scherer and Clayton have consistently delivered unparalleled service. “We give our clients a five-star experience,” Scherer affirms, emphasizing their commitment to transparency and comprehensive client support. Clayton echoes this sentiment, noting their unwavering dedication to integrity and prioritizing client needs above all else. “I will never suggest a program unless it truly benefits our clients,” he asserts, underscoring their client-centric approach.

This dedication to excellence has not gone unnoticed, with Scotsman’s Guide recognizing Scherer and Clayton as among the top 1% of originators in the country for over a decade. However, their impact extends beyond professional accolades, as they are deeply invested in giving back to the communities in which they serve, including helping nonprofits such as HomeStart, Habitat for Humanity and Operation Welcome Home, among others.

In 2022, Scherer and Clayton made the strategic move to team up with LeaderOne Financial Corporation. They are incredibly proud and excited that OnTo Mortgage has joined forces with this industry powerhouse. With this dynamic partnership, OnTo Mortgage is positioned to grow and successfully navigate the challenging mortgage landscape, both now and in the future, and continue to be the leading lending platform not only in their present markets but across 47 states.
