Ready To Buy Your First Home? We’re Here to Help!

Hi, I’m Scott Swinford, a branch manager with Hancock Mortgage in Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan.

First Time Home Buyer

If you considering the purchase of a new home, you probably have a lot of questions.

     How much down payment do I need?

     How large of a house can I afford?

     What credit score is required?

     What do I need to do first?

Whether you are ready to buy your next home, a second or vacation home, an investment property, or you are ready to downsize because you don’t need as much space, we’re here to help. 

Be sure to check out all of our additional resources in the links near the top of the page and ask lots of questions. We like informed borrowers!

In my past 12 years of home loan lending, I have helped hundreds of families finance their first home and I’m confident that I can help you.

Even if you had some blemishes on your credit report in the past or just started a new job, you may be surprised at the options that are available.

I’d like to invite you to get a free, no-obligation consultation so that you can see just how my team at Hancock Mortgage can help you finance your first dream home.
