The direct answer
How this program works.
Click n’ Close publishes SmartBuy assistance variants through its wholesale channel. The exact variant’s second-lien terms and first-mortgage eligibility govern; RedZone consumer origination remains Texas-only.

Compare the selected SmartBuy structure with assistance alternatives and a standard mortgage.
Illustrative example
Two offers with the same assistance amount can produce different sale/refinance obligations if one has a repayment lien and another shares appreciation.
Important boundaries
- A wholesale program listing does not guarantee RedZone availability.
- Forgivable, repayable and shared-appreciation terms should not be conflated.
