🏡 What homeowners wish they knew BEFORE buying…

A recent article from Florida Realtors shared that about 85% of homeowners say they didn’t have key information before starting the homebuying process — especially when it comes to financing, down payments, and loan options.

One of the biggest misconceptions?
👉 Thinking you need 20% down
👉 Not knowing about down payment assistance
👉 Not understanding what loan programs you actually qualify for

This is exactly why having the right Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO) matters just as much as having the right Realtor.

The difference between a good lender and a great one can literally mean:
✔️ thousands saved
✔️ better loan options
✔️ actually getting to the closing table

When I connect my clients with lending partners, I’m looking for a few key things:

🔹 Knowledgeable about all available loan products & programs
🔹 Honest about what you truly qualify for (not just what you want to hear)
🔹 Responsive & available throughout the process
🔹 Willing to put in the extra work and paperwork to get you across the finish line

Because the truth is… the right guidance upfront prevents a lot of those “I wish I knew” moments later.

If you’re thinking about buying and want to make sure you’re set up the right way from day one, I’ve got some great lender referrals I trust.

Hi everyone, I'm Bryce Jones and I'm with Charles Rutenberg Realty.
If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home, I’d love the opportunity to connect. I’m currently offering a buyer credit at closing for clients who enter into a written buyer broker agreement with me.*
I work with both buyers and sellers, and I especially enjoy helping first-time homebuyers navigate the process with confidence. Real estate transactions aren’t always straightforward, and my goal is to serve as a consultant and advisor not a salesperson.
I take the time to explain each step, answer questions, and make sure you feel comfortable with your decisions. Whether you’re brand new or have experience, I tailor everything to your level of knowledge. If it takes seeing 30 homes to find the right one, that’s exactly what we’ll do.
I also offer a free first-time homebuyer course to help break down the process and make it less overwhelming.
If you’re considering making a move, I’d be happy to schedule a no-pressure meet & greet or consultation to learn more about your goals and see how I can help. Feel free to message me directly or comment below to get started.
* Credit at closing is subject to lender approval, transaction terms, and a signed buyer broker agreement. All incentives will be disclosed and applied in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and brokerage policies. This is not a guarantee of services or outcomes.

Did you know you can have different markets within a Geographic area?

Take this snap shot of unincorporated Winter Park. $300-399K price point had 33% of sales as cash sales and only 1.7 months of supply. That is a highly competitive market for buyers. Same zip-code in the $400-600K had 25% cash sales and a more balanced 4.1 months of supply. Buyers at these different price points will have different strategies.

Its important to know your specific market! Reach out if you want to discuss my solutions for all your real estate hurdles, I even have a way for you to compete with cash buyers and win!
