< Back to Florida Buyer's Agent Team

Hello, my name is Joni Snyder and I'm a Buyer's Agent with New Homes Realty here in Florida. It is my great pleasure to serve the home buyers of Alachua and Marion Counties (including Alachua, Belleview, Dunnellon, Fort McCoy, Gainesville, Hague, Haile, Hawthorne, High Springs, Jonesville, Lake Weir, Micanopy, Newberry, Ocala, Oklawaha, Silver Springs, and Summerfield). Let me put my knowledge and experience to work for you today!

I am a licensed Florida Real Estate Agent and an experienced investor. As a New Homes Realty Buyer's Agent I will work for you, the homebuyer, safeguarding your interests, negotiating prices, arranging financing, and managing the closing. New Homes Realty has always stayed true to the vision upon which we were founded and the unique blend of services our clients require. Every member of our company understands our service commitment, our unique vision and their own role in making it reality.

I am familiar with military moves as well; my husband Butch is proud veteran who served in the Army for 20 years, so I know how difficult transferring your family every three or four years can be. I have a lot of experience making such moves go smoother, so I'm ready to help members of our Armed Forces relocate throughout this area.

And now for the best news: My Buyer Agent's services are free to you, the prospective buyer! There are no hidden charges or obligations. How is this accomplished? All fees are paid by the sellers in the form of previously negotiated co-broker and listing agreements. With New Homes Realty there is no risk to you at all!

Relocation Guide

Gainesville is home to the University of Florida (our state's largest and oldest university) and one of the best public school systems in the state. The University of Florida and Shands Hospital at UF are the leading employers in the area and provide jobs for many residents in surrounding counties. Gainesville is also renowned for its preservation of historic buildings and the beauty of its natural surroundings; the city's numerous parks, museums, and lakes provide entertainment to thousands of visitors. National Geographic Adventure magazine even rated our city one of the "50 Best Places to Live and Play"!

Ocala is also distinctly beautiful, thanks to acres of rolling pastureland and Grand Daddy Oaks with trailing Spanish Moss. This city in Marion County has even been ranked one of Forbes magazine's "Top Twenty Best Small Towns in Which to Live". Ocala sits in the middle of Florida horse country and is home to more than 600 farms, many of which are dedicated to Thoroughbred breeding and training. This is also a popular area for retirees, with plenty of 55+ active adult communities, Florida retirement communities, and golf retirement communities. Florida retirement living is at its best in Ocala! Some nearby attractions include Silver Springs, Ocala National Forest, the Appleton Museum of Art, and Don Garlits' Museum of Drag Racing. Ocala is centrally located and is only a short drive to either the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, and just over an hour north of the attractions in Orlando.
