About Us

Company Profile     

MBT Homes was founded by Marcus Truett, a broker who realized that the person overlooked by most agents in Orlando's vacation home or condo hotel market was the buyer. With many different investment and vacation home opportunities cropping up in the Orlando resort area, most agents and brokers base their property choices on a commission basis, regardless of the buyer's best interests. Many buyers over the years have called Marcus with little or no Real Estate background and were told the brutal truth. Often this is not what the prospective buyer wants to hear. If you want breakeven from the first 6 months, do not buy a vacation home in Orlando.

Will you find Realtors who will sell you property with little or no money down who promise you everything you want to hear? Yes.

Will Marcus sell it to you with unrealistic expectations? No.

MBT Homes will not sell every community in Orlando. If you do not see the property on our website there is a reason. We need all of the ingredients necessary for a property to be successful for us to stamp it with the MBT Homes seal of approval. 

1. Location, location, location. This golden rule of Real Estate applies to vacation homes and condo hotels as well as it does to your primary home.

2. Amenities. As builders of condo hotels and vacation homes realize that they have to build the biggest and the best communities, vacationers become more and more discerning with their business. 10 years ago a pool and 2 TVs was all that was needed, now if you do not have a gated resort community with clubhouse, gym, spa and restaurant you are passé.

3. Builder integrity. This is a huge investment, we will not sell a property unless the builder has a proven track record. We like Vegas gambling, we just don't like to gamble our vacation home or condo hotel.

4. Management. With a vacation home you have the luxury of changing management company, with a condo hotel you are essentially bound to the management company in place. Without bookings and good maintenance protocols you are in a hole before you start.

That said can we guarantee success? No, but we can give you the best opportunity to realize your vacation home / condo hotel dreams.

 Marcus Truett was born in England, and emigrated to the Orlando in 1991. His parents had already moved to Florida in the late 70's, and own The Little White Wedding Chapel in Kissimmee. Some of you may know Marcus from his swimming pool business Ever Clean Pools Inc., which he sold a while ago.  Living in Kissimmee, Florida for over 10 years, and working closely with Property Management companies has taught Marcus a valuable insight into how to market your vacation home to families staying in the Disney Resort area. As Field Service Manager for a premier management company in the area, he nurtured close contacts with builders, warranty departments, and furniture companies, which are vital in preconstruction. After leaving property management, Marcus put his license with Ronald P Bressan, a Real Estate leader with over 40 years of experience. Ronald took him under his wing and taught him the "ins and outs" of vacation home Real Estate in Orlando, advice which has been invaluable, and they remain close friends to this day. All of this ensures your buying process will be hassle and worry free, and your second home in Florida will be as profitable as possible.

Our Mission

As Orlando's leading buyers agent and preconstruction specialists in the area surrounding the Walt Disney World Resort®, we  strive to maintain our stature by offering our clients the location, quality, value and exceptional service we have always offered. With the rapid increase in single family home prices it has become clear to several of the leading brokerages in the area that condo hotels are becoming the wave of the future for central Florida. As such we have invested our resources into finding the best possible condo hotel opportunities in the Disney area of Orlando.

A Note to Our Clients

Florida State law and Federal Securities law prohibits any Real Estate agent from selling property as an investment. I know that many of our competitors are giving projections as to future earnings and calling themselves investment Realtors, but this is highly illegal. We cannot hazard guesses as to what your property will rent for in the future or what your property will be worth in the future. Please understand that this is to protect you, not us. If you think about it, no-one can predict the future, and you should be wary of someone that attempts to!

While some of our competitors sell every community available, without regard to it's location, quality or rental potential, we handpick select communities so you, our client, benefit. Ask yourself how a site offering 30 different communities in central Florida can say that everything they offer is "the best".  We are not attempting to compete with the discount brokerages, as we believe that if the product is excellent, the client will recognize how much effort has gone into choosing your holiday / vacation home, and how we help you accomplish your second home ownership goals. We stay with you throughout the whole process, keeping you updated with pictures of your property's construction, contacting the builder for you, ensuring your interests are being preserved, and even setting up a FREE virtual tour for your home after closing, so you can market your property at home to friends, family and co-workers. Should you wish to sell your property we will list your property and ensure you gain the most from the equity your second home.
