Sierra-built AI agent that re-engages stalled home-equity applicants
Figure said its Sierra AI agent lifted funded-loan conversion 143% for stalled home-equity applicants
Problem
Many home equity applications stall before closing. Figure cited a Mortgage Bankers Association figure of 49% average pull-through for HELOCs in 2024.
Approach
Figure trained an agent on Sierra's Horizon platform to work inside its loan origination system. The agent contacts stalled applicants by voice and SMS over several days. It helps with steps such as credit check permissions, ID verification and bank account linking, then hands the borrower to a loan officer. Figure planned to offer the integration to network partners over the following months.
Results
Takeaway
Figure used the agent for follow-up on stalled applications and left the close to loan officers. The results were early and came from Figure's own July 2026 analysis.
