Click n’ Close Expands Whole Loan Trading Division
Click n’ Close, a multi-state mortgage lender, announced the strategic engagement of Christy Soukhamneut and Launch Point Advisory Group to support the expansion of its Whole Loan Trading division. The move is part of a broader initiative to grow Click n’ Close’s secondary market presence and offer whole loan trading opportunities across its government and specialty loan programs.
Click n’ Close has built a secondary market platform supported by direct relationships with Ginnie Mae and private investors, in-house servicing and a diversified product mix that includes FHA, VA, USDA, One-Time Close construction and Section 184 loans. The Whole Loan Trading expansion is designed to deepen those capabilities, broaden the company’s institutional and correspondent investor network and create more consistent execution options for its partners.
“Growing our Whole Loan Trading business is an important component to the future growth of Click n’ Close,” said Ian Kimball, president of Click n’ Close. “We have the loan programs, the investor relationships and the operational infrastructure to support meaningful volume. This engagement is about putting the right expertise in place to accelerate that growth and make Click n’ Close a go-to whole loan trading partner in the government market.”
Soukhamneut will work directly with Click n’ Close’s leadership team to drive the whole loan trading initiative, focusing on expanding correspondent relationships, identifying whole loan execution opportunities across CNC’s product mix and developing the infrastructure needed to scale volume. Launch Point Advisory Group will support the broader strategic effort by bringing additional resources and secondary-market expertise to the engagement.
“Click n’ Close has the right pieces in place to build a strong whole loan trading business,” Soukhamneut said. “The product breadth, investor access and operational foundation are there. The opportunity is in connecting those assets with the right buyers and creating a consistent, scalable execution process. That’s where I’m focused.”

She has held senior leadership roles at Flagstar Bank, Texas Capital Bank, Certainty Home Loans and Bank of America and has provided advisory and board-level service to STRATMOR Group, Freddie Mac, Voxtur and TRAiNED.
