Evergreen Chooses Sagent

Evergreen Home Loans just made a back-office bet most borrowers will never see: it picked a new servicing system from Sagent to run the part of the mortgage business that sends statements, tracks escrow, and handles payments after closing. The announcement came on April 9, 2026. (prnewswire.com) That matters because “mortgage servicing” is the long middle of a home loan, not the flashy beginning. It covers monthly billing, tax and insurance escrow, customer service, and the ugly edge cases like delinquency, bankruptcy, and foreclosure. (sagent.com) A lot of lenders still run that work on old software stitched together over years, with one system for core records, another for borrower websites, and more tools for default, claims, and document handling. Sagent says Dara replaces that patchwork with one cloud-based platform and real-time data flows. (sagent.com) Evergreen framed the switch as a move away from “legacy systems” toward a “modern, production-grade” platform. Sagent said the rollout will cover end-to-end servicing, which means Evergreen is not just buying a borrower portal but the operating system behind the loan after origination. (prnewswire.com) Sagent has been pushing Dara as its flagship product since February 2024, when it launched the platform and said it could lower servicing costs by up to 40 percent. The pitch is simple: fewer handoffs between systems means fewer manual fixes, fewer compliance gaps, and fewer borrower headaches during transfers or hardship cases. (tmcnet.com) Evergreen is not a tiny test customer. The lender says it has been in business since 1987, and its public site says it both originates and services loans, which means this software touches a core part of its business rather than a side project. (discoverehl.com) (evergreenhomeloans.com) The timing fits a wider push by lenders to replace brittle servicing stacks without taking on the risk of building their own. In March 2026, Land Home Financial Services also said it would deploy Dara for end-to-end servicing, giving Sagent another fresh customer in the same modernization wave. (prnewswire.com) Sagent has also been staffing up around the rollout. On February 11, 2026, the company named Sridhar Sharma president and said Dara was going live for United States mortgage servicers, a sign that the product has moved from launch deck to live deployments. (prnewswire.com) For Evergreen borrowers, the change will probably show up in small ways first: cleaner account access, faster updates, and fewer moments where the website, the call center, and the loan record disagree. For Evergreen itself, the bigger prize is one servicing stack instead of a pile of connected parts. (sagent.com) (prnewswire.com)
