A licensed direct lender with almost no public record either way, which is its own kind of unknown.
By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief. Rates last checked September 9, 2026.
Our verdict
Sage is a direct lender, so the company you apply to is the one you deal with, and no adverse federal record was found. It also has no complaint record under this name, which isn't the same as a good one, and its 4.0 Trustpilot score on 169 reviews is the weakest in its group. Compare its Loan Estimate with two or three others.
Skip it if you want published rates before you apply, or a longer public record to lean on.
