1st Tribal Lending Joins Lender Price Marketplace to Bring the HUD Section 184 and Other Special Programs for Native American Borrowers to the Broker Community

PASADENA, Calif. February 7, 2025

Lender Price, a leading provider of mortgage loan pricing technology, announced today that 1^st Tribal Lending has joined Lender Price Marketplace.

1^st Tribal Lending, a dba of Click n’ Close, Inc., headquartered in Addison Texas, is the number one lender by volume in the HUD Section 184 program.

“The 1^st Tribal Team is pleased to partner with Lender Price,” says Brett Robinson, Managing Director and Founder. “Lender Price’s commitment to focusing attention on Native American Borrowers in this long-underserved community really made Lender Price stand out to 1^st Tribal.” 1^st Tribal is solely focused on lending to Native Americans both on and off their reservations. Many lenders do not realize the Section 184 program is also available for non-reservation (Fee Simple) properties. The benefits are a low down payment, no monthly MI and a small guaranteed fee. For current Click n’ Closer brokers, approval just involves getting added to the HUD list of approved lenders. We also support full and mini-correspondent lenders with underwriting and closing services.

Lender Price provides lenders with enhanced pricing capabilities and simple-to-use technology designed to help mortgage brokers and loan originators find the most competitive loan programs in the industry. 1^st Tribal will be leveraging Marketplace by Lender Price to showcase their products to one of the largest communities of originators in the mortgage industry. The Lender Price Marketplace user base has grown dramatically over the past 12 months, with rapid growth coming from lenders like 1^st Tribal looking to get their loan programs in front of more people, and mortgage brokers looking to cut costs and replace legacy pricing technology with Lender Price.

With Lender Price Marketplace, loan originators can:

• • See pricing across existing lenders and Marketplace lenders inside one place
  • Run rate comparisons and send them to borrowers from anywhere in the world
  • Add rate sheets once and the system automatically updates them moving forward
  • Gain deeper access to non-QM, non-agency, DSCR, and home equity products
  • Create custom rate alerts and be alerted when new opportunities arise
  • Discover and get access to a deeper set of loan programs
  • Find loans that compete with all-cash offers and share them with realtors
  • Eliminate monthly costs to price loans and move away from legacy technology
