Ian Bancroft is a Financial Professional with Encore Financial Group in Cheboygan, Michigan. Since 2007, he’s been helping clients make thoughtful, personalized choices around insurance and retirement planning. With a calm, client-centered approach, Ian believes these decisions should offer peace of mind, not pressure. He specializes in supporting individuals as they approach and enter retirement, offering guidance on Medicare options, fixed insurance strategies, and planning tools tailored to this unique life stage.
Ian approaches each conversation with the belief that no one fits neatly into a box, and neither should their insurance. His strength lies in helping people clarify what matters most, then building financial strategies that honor those priorities.
When he’s not working, you’ll likely find Ian deep in Michigan’s forests, exploring with his wife and two children. He’s passionate about conservation, old-growth forests, and the quiet wisdom of nature. Whether foraging, woodworking, or simply walking among the pines, Ian finds in the outdoors the same qualities he brings to his work: patience, perspective, and an eye for the long view.
