Service Options
Sagen offers two types of service for which all products are eligible:
Full Service are applications for which Sagen will complete the collateral adjudication. Such applications will be eligible for auto decision, however in some cases may be referred to a Sagen underwriter for additional review.
If it is necessary to obtain an appraisal, Sagen will manage ordering and administering the report including all costs associated with the evaluation. The report will be evaluated and retained as part of Sagen’s internal underwriting process.
Standard Service are applications for which the Lender has completed an appraisal report. The application will be referred to a Sagen underwriter for review and the Lender can e-mail the appraisal report to:
