Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you're buying your first home, refinancing, or exploring mortgage options, Sage Home Loans is here to guide you with clarity and care. Explore our most frequently asked questions below to learn more about how we simplify the mortgage process.

What makes Sage different from other lenders?

We blend smart technology with a personal touch. From your quick online application to closing day, every part of the Sage experience is built around transparency, convenience, and care. Plus, our Sage Perks program gives clients ongoing homeowner benefits long after closing.

Is Sage part of a bank?

No. Sage is an independent lender, which gives us the flexibility to serve a variety of loan types and find solutions to fit your institution. That freedom allows us to tailor loans to your needs.

How do I apply for a home loan?

Apply anytime through our secure online application. Once submitted, a Sage loan officer will reach out to guide you through the next steps.

What documents will I need?

Most borrowers will need recent pay stubs, W-2s, bank statements, and a government-issued ID. Your loan officer will clarify exactly what's required for your situation.

Can I get preapproved before finding a home?

Yes! Sage's fast cashier preapproval helps you shop with confidence and feel sellers know you're ready to move quickly.

What does it mean to "lock" my rate?

A rate lock secures your interest rate for a set period (typically 30–60 days), protecting you from market changes before your loan closes.

Still have questions?

Our servicing support team can answer any questions for current clients.
