Finance your home with SWE Homes
Our mission is to create housing opportunities for every family and build wealth for businesses by providing properties and easy access to financing, considering the ability to pay and not past credit history. We strive to promote and enrich our communities.
With owner financing you purchase a property directly from SWE Homes instead of through a conventional mortgage lender.

SWE Homes Owner Financing Program
Our owner financing program is designed to help people with different financial situations find the home for sale they want. Our in-house financing program offers flexibility in qualification, unlike other banks or financial institutions. Your credit score is not a factor, and best of all you can take possession in as little as 14 days.
How to qualifiy for Owner Financing:
Owner financing is available for our homes, townhomes, and other residential properties. A down payment is required for our owner financing program.

The Layaway Program
We don’t stop by just offering owner financed homes for sale, but we go a step further and make it easy for buyers to come up with the down payment for the home they want. Our layaway program does just that; it allows home buyers to secure a property with a portion of the down payment while giving them more time to complete it.
Our Layaway Program is available for our residential, commercial, and land property listings with no credit needed and no application fees.
How does the program work?
- Pay 35% of the required down-payment of the home you want
- Make weekly payments for the balance of the down-payment over a six-week period
- A minimum payment of $275.00 / week is required
