Click n’ Close Offers Free USDA Lock Extensions, Accepts New Locks During Government Shutdown

Click n’ Close, a multi-state mortgage lender, announced a two-part initiative to support lenders during the federal government shutdown: free lock extensions for USDA loans already in its wholesale pipeline and acceptance of new USDA locks, which will be eligible for the same free extensions through Dec. 31, 2025. The program is designed to help lenders manage rate protection and keep loans moving toward closing while normal operations are paused.

“Government shutdowns add uncertainty and delays that neither lenders nor borrowers can control,” said Jeff Bode, CEO of Click n’ Close. “By extending locks on loans already in process and accepting new locks with free extensions through year-end, we’re helping our partners preserve pricing and keep pipelines prepared for when agencies resume regular processing.”

Click n’ Close is one of the nation’s top USDA wholesale lenders, recognized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a Top Wholesale Lender Champion for two consecutive years. Through innovative programs like its SmartBuy™ proprietary down payment assistance (DPA) offering and its One-Time Close construction program, Click n’ Close has helped thousands of borrowers achieve affordable homeownership.

The company’s experienced USDA team remains available to help lenders navigate the current environment and identify solutions to keep loans moving forward.
