5.0 star review received on Experience.com for Jay Bowry by Levi B - Jay provided all the information for multiple different loan products which allowed me to weigh my options and pick the best product for my circumstances. Great availability and responsiveness when I reached out for questions. All of my questions were answered thoroughly, directly, and with an explanation how things worked and why. I appreciated his empathy and candor when sharing bad news like being ineligible for certain grants or minor delays in closing. Overall, great experience and I couldn't ask for more

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for Jay Bowry by Lorenzo C - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Experience with Jay Bowry, Movement Mortgage, and Dee & Dwayne Bennett
I cannot say enough great things about Jay Bowry, the team at Movement Mortgage, and Realtors Dee & Dwayne Bennett. They all played a huge role in helping my family achieve our dream of becoming homeowners, and I am incredibly grateful for their guidance and support throughout the entire process.
My relationship with Jay actually started back in 2020. At that time, I wasn’t financially ready to purchase a home. Instead of simply telling me to come back later, Jay took the time to educate me on what I needed to do to put myself in a position to buy a home in the future. He gave me practical steps, encouraged me to stay focused, and helped me understand that homeownership was an achievable goal if I stayed committed to the process.
Fast forward to this year, and I reached back out to Jay when I was finally ready. From day one, he made the mortgage process smooth, straightforward, and stress-free. He was always available to answer questions, explain things clearly, and keep me informed every step of the way. His professionalism and knowledge gave me confidence throughout the entire journey.
I also want to recognize Dee & Dwayne Bennett. As our realtors, they were absolutely outstanding. They were patient, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home rather than just making a sale. They listened to what we wanted, provided honest advice, and worked tirelessly on our behalf. Their experience and attention to detail made the home-buying process much easier than I ever expected.
What impressed me most was how smoothly everyone worked together as a team. From the day we viewed the home to the day we sat at the closing table, the entire process took exactly 30 days. That’s a testament to the communication, organization, and dedication of everyone involved.
As a first-time homebuyer, I expected the process to be overwhelming, but Jay, Dee, and Dwayne made it an enjoyable experience. They treated us like family, not just clients, and always made us feel like our goals mattered.
If you’re looking for a lender and real estate team that truly cares about their clients, I highly recommend Jay Bowry, Movement Mortgage, and Dee & Dwayne Bennett. Their expertise, integrity, and commitment to excellence made all the difference for my family. Thanks to them, we are now proud homeowners, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

FINANCE FRIDAY TIP

Mortgage Tip:
👉
Don’t shop for a home based on the
price—shop based on the
monthly payment.

A home’s list price doesn’t tell the full story. Monthly payments can change based on:
Interest rate
Taxes and insurance
Down payment amount
Understanding your
comfortable monthly payment
before house hunting can help you:
Avoid stretching your budget
Make more confident decisions
Enjoy homeownership long‑term
A little clarity upfront can save a lot of stress later.

The best time to prepare for buying a home is
before you find “the house.” When you start with financing clarity, a realistic timeline, and a solid plan, everything feels more manageable—decisions are easier, stress is lower, and confidence is higher. Preparation doesn’t take the excitement out of buying—it protects it.

✨

Preparation creates confidence.

If you’re renting, you’ve probably heard, “Just keep renting until you’re ready.”
🤔
But ready looks different for everyone.
Renting can make sense for certain seasons of life—but for many first‑time buyers, homeownership can better support long‑term goals.
🏡
Buying may offer more stability, the chance to build ownership, and a clearer plan for the future.
You don’t have to have everything figured out to start. Most buyers begin by understanding their options and what steps could make sense next.

My role as a loan officer isn’t to push—it’s to help you decide if homeownership fits your situation now, or what could help it fit in the
future.

If you’re renting and wondering whether waiting is the right move, I’m always happy to talk it through.
💬
Sometimes clarity starts with a
simple conversation.

Requests from the underwriter....
Just don’t do it if you’re buying a house, help them help you 😊

🚨 Realtors, buyers & sellers — don’t make this mistake 🚨Including personal property (furniture, TVs, cars, etc.) in a real estate contract can put the LOAN at risk 👀
Lenders only finance the HOUSE 🏡 — not the couch, PlayStation, or dining room table.

Adding personal items can:
❌ Create underwriting issues
❌ Cause appraisal problems
❌ Delay closing
❌ Jeopardize financing altogether

Keep personal property OUT of the contract.

Keep the deal CLEAN. ✅

How Fast Communication Saves Deals Right Now
In today’s market, speed matters—but
clear communication matters more
Quick responses can:
Keep offers competitive
Prevent small issues from becoming big problems
Keep everyone aligned from contract to closing

When buyers, agents, and lenders stay in close contact, deals move forward with less stress and fewer surprises.

If you’re buying right now, make sure your team communicates quickly, clearly, and consistently. It makes a bigger difference than most people realize.
