\u201cWomen at Click n\u2019 Close go out of their way to champion one another, whether that means nominating a colleague for industry recognition or building a team that gives other women room to grow,\u201d said Delores Lopez, chief operating officer of Click n\u2019 Close. \u201cThat culture was one of the first things I noticed when I joined the company, and I\u2019m proud to see Mortgage Women Magazine recognize it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Women make up nearly 64% of the Click n\u2019 Close workforce of 336 employees and hold two of the company\u2019s six C-suite positions, serving as chief operating officer and chief compliance officer. Women also lead teams in correspondent lending and sales.<\/p>\n

Much of that leadership has been developed internally. The COO position has primarily been filled by women for the past 15 years. A former COO spent nine years building a national support and training function before her promotion. A third woman began in an entry-level shipping role and, over 25 years, rose to manage the company\u2019s platform team. When Click n\u2019 Close expanded its underwriting department in 2021, the COO at the time assembled a five-person leadership team made up entirely of women. The company also sponsored the Texas Mortgage Bankers Association Certified Mortgage Leaders class for women for the past three years.<\/p>\n

Female executives at Click n\u2019 Close designed the company\u2019s eMortgage and eNote strategy, which helped make it one of the industry\u2019s largest sources of digitally closed loans as early as 2018 and was later featured in a national eMortgage case study. Company leaders have presented at national and state Mortgage Bankers Association conferences and the MERS eMortgage Boot Camp and serve on boards and advisory councils of state and national mortgage associations.<\/p>\n

Click n\u2019 Close offered remote work options before the pandemic, moved its entire workforce remote in 2020 and has remained remote-friendly since. The company provides up to four weeks of paid parental leave following the birth, adoption or foster placement of a child, private space for nursing mothers and on-site yoga and Pilates classes five days a week. When the company moves into its new headquarters, those classes will expand to include an on-site fitness facility that offers high-intensity interval training.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the most consequential decisions in our company\u2019s history were made by women, including our early move into eClosings and eNotes,\u201d said Ian Kimball, president of Click n\u2019 Close. \u201cThis recognition belongs to the people who run so much of this business, and we intend to keep promoting from within, so the next generation has a clear path to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n
