National Mortgage News Advance in Tech Demo
We took the virtual stage recently for a demo of Dara Core – just the second public demo to date! Product pioneers Shane Leonard and Jennifer Johnson showed how using FEMA disaster data, Dara enables servicers to instantly spot disaster-impacted loans and proactively support impacted homeowners with just a few clicks in a unified interface and a single login. Did you miss it? No problem – check it out on demand here.
Built for Servicers, By Servicers
Homeowners need answers. Servicers need agility. Dara by Sagent delivers both – connecting operators and consumers via real-time data, automation, and configurability. Because when technology providers truly understand the servicing experience, everyone wins. Check out Shane Leonard’s (SVP, Product Management) + Monika Peltz’s (SVP, Customer Success) HousingWire interview with Allison LaForgia and hear how Dara was built for servicers by servicers, and why that perspective is driving the next era of mortgage servicing. Read the recap here.

CARE to Dara Consumer
September brought an exciting milestone for our CARE customers: every CARE user is now live on Dara Consumer. While your teams likely noticed refreshed branding and enhanced data filtering and sorting, your borrowers continued to enjoy the same seamless experience—now powered beneath the surface by our unified servicing ecosystem. Dara Consumer seamlessly integrates CARE’s core features and tools into a single, end-to-end platform, streamlining data and workflows for your teams while delivering consistent, high-quality experiences across the entire homeownership journey. We’re energized to see how Dara’s real-time intelligence and automation are helping you reduce costs and build lasting paths to sustainable homeownership for the communities you serve.
A Fast Track to Dara Claims
We recently partnered with IHFA, accelerating their mission with Dara Claims—and completed their implementation in less than 60 days. With Dara Claims, IHFA now streamlines the entire claims process across all investor types, reducing operational costs and complexity, while maximizing recoveries and efficiency. The results: fewer out-of-pocket losses for servicers, increased funding for affordable housing programs, and stronger support for the communities IHFA serves. Faster resolutions. Smarter cost management. Expanded housing possibilities. That’s the Dara difference in action. Read the full release here.
LoanServ
Within mortgage servicing, compliance is more than a mandate—it’s a sign of profound respect for regulations, borrowers, and the communities we serve. This quarter, as the FHA introduced new loss mitigation guidelines, our team responded with urgency and respect for your operational needs, quickly deploying targeted enhancements outside of our standard release schedule so your teams remained aligned with every regulatory expectation.
Our Q3 release reflects that respect in action, marking a milestone for customers leveraging LoanServ and collectively stewarding an impressive $324 trillion in FHA loans—covering about 28% of all loans on our platform.
To deliver real, immediate impact, we introduced updates that streamline the amendment of long-term trial payment plans and provide a unified view of forbearance plan history. These advancements directly support over 130,000 loans currently navigating loss mitigation, empowering our clients with greater clarity and efficiency.
Compliance innovation continues. Watch for further enhancements arriving in our October release—and beyond—to keep your teams ahead in a rapidly evolving environment.
