Overview

Sage Mortgage is a relatively new mortgage lender that can fund your new home purchase or mortgage refinance quickly. The application process takes place entirely online, and you can pre-qualify for a loan in just a few minutes. Sage Mortgage also lets you connect your bank account to automate the process of supplying supporting documentation for your loan application. In most cases, mortgages and refinance loans through Sage Mortgage close in less than 28 days.

Suitable For?

Sage Mortgage is most suitable for new home buyers or current homeowners who want a do-it-yourself mortgage or refinancing option. The online application process is simple to navigate and makes it easy to add all the documentation you need for your loan by linking directly with your bank account.
