Dave Whittington

I didn’t know who to call for a real estate agent in Ocean City, Maryland. The first realtor I tried, Vinny Steo, his secretary answered the phone, and she just couldn’t be bothered. In contrast, Dave Whittington, answered his phone, and made me feel my condo would get the proper attention for a sale. It took us 1.5 years to sell because the siding and roofing were more than 40 years and was just starting to show their age. The roof began leaking during down pours. Dave who lives locally in Ocean City, has the ability to check on the property as needed. Through the first year, Dave stopped by every time it rained or the temperature dropped very low. And thank God he did. He went in my home and placed towels on the hardwood, sun-room, floor to sop up water which had leaked from the roof. Another time he stopped by after a snow storm and discovered that my HVAC system wasn't working at all and a leak was coming from under the sink! He told me the indoor temperature had dropped to 40 degrees. He instinctively turned off the water to prevent further water damage, and called me right away. I was able to get the HVAC company in real time and they had me purchase a brand-new $1000 HVAC motor (it had just passed the 10-year coverage!) After 1 year, I decided to replace the roofing and siding and the home sold within 2 days after the first showing. I’m very pleased with Dave’s service. He advised me about the market and pricing and looked out for me during the closing. He has even told me to call him if I receive any bills and he would take care of it. Thank you Dave for your sincere and dedicated efforts to sell my home at a good price.

Working with Dave was a great experience. Even though our transaction was relatively straightforward and didn’t require a lot of heavy lifting, he was professional, responsive, and kept everything moving smoothly from start to finish. His communication was excellent, and he made sure the process stayed on track and closed quickly. It was reassuring to have someone knowledgeable overseeing the details and making everything feel effortless. I will definitely be using Dave again in the future as I continue my search for another investment property, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient real estate agent.

We had a great experience working with Dave. His experience and insight were essential to making our purchase go smoothly. Communication was helpful and not overwhelming.

I was going through one of the most stressful and uncertain periods of my life. Financial pressure was building, I was falling behind, and there was a real possibility I could lose my home before I had a chance to recover. This wasn’t a normal sale—this was a race against time. Dave stepped in and immediately brought clarity and control to the situation. He didn’t sugarcoat anything. He gave me real, strategic advice on what needed to change—pricing, positioning, and expectations—and made sure I understood exactly what it would take to get the deal done before it was too late. Looking back, I can honestly say I wish I had listened to him sooner. What separates Dave from everyone else is what he did beyond the contract. When things got tight at closing and I was dealing with logistics, timing, and access to funds, he didn’t disappear like most would—he stepped up. He made sure I had a solution. He even allowed me to temporarily store my belongings so I could transition without everything falling apart while waiting for funds to clear. That level of support is rare, especially in real estate. He treated my situation like it mattered—because it did. This wasn’t just business for him. He understood the stakes and showed up when it counted the most. If you want someone who will: • Tell you the truth, not what you want to hear • Strategize under pressure • Actually fight to get your deal closed • Stand by you when things get difficult Dave is that person. He didn’t just gain a client—he gained a lifelong customer and friend. I would recommend him 100 times over, without hesitation

I am a salesman and I rate others. Dave was a true professional by answering all my questions and never acted bothered. Would HIGHLY recommend him for his knowledge and sincerity.

Dave was great! From day one he was attentive, asked us all the right questions and really listened to the answers, and was able to help us focus in on what we wanted. This saved us a lot of time, because we only had to look at a couple of his suggested properties before we found the right one for us. In six weeks, we went from looking at every possible property on the market to settling on the property of our dreams. Dave offered a wealth of knowledge in a professional manner and helped us to achieve our goal. Thanks Dave!
