Bio
As a lifelong member of the Hanover community and a proud graduate of South Western High School’s Class of 2016, I’ve always been deeply rooted in the people and places that make this area feel like home. During high school, I served as Class President and competed on the varsity tennis team all four years—experiences that taught me the importance of leadership, discipline, and dedication. I carry those same values into every real estate transaction.
After high school, I attended Stevenson University, where I majored in Accounting and later gained professional experience in accounting and budget roles. This financial background gives me a unique advantage when helping clients navigate one of the biggest investments of their lives.
Real estate is more than just a profession for me—it’s a family legacy. I grew up immersed in the industry: my parents were involved in real estate, my grandfather was a Realtor, my aunt is active in the field, and my cousins have successfully run a real estate business in Hanover for over 30 years. Their example inspired me to follow in their footsteps and continue serving the community through real estate.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and dog, being out on the water fishing, and staying active with family and friends. I’m also passionate about giving back through my involvement at church and with the Hanover Kiwanis Club.
Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, I bring local knowledge, family-driven values, and financial expertise to help you succeed in your real estate journey.

"Hanna helped us sell our old home and purchase a new home and we couldn’t have asked for a better agent to help us through the process. We found our new home and Hanna helped us move quickly and mentored us through the entire process. She goes above and beyond what is expected and is great with communication.

"Maria knew what I was looking for, but also took time to help me consider alternatives along the way. This helped me calibrate and confirm what I really wanted. She was attentive and made me feel like I could always reach out."
Alex P
"We loved how knowledgeable Maria was of the city, right down to the neighborhood that we wanted to live in. She was respectful, ethical, and we never felt pressured to buy something we didn't want or love! She was prompt to respond to our questions, and was great when it came to negotiating for everything that we wanted!"
Frances & Paul
"Maria was a true asset when I decided to sell my condo. She made great suggestions on things to attract buyers. It wasn't a particularly ideal time for selling, and I was out of town, so it was super important for me to have someone that I could trust and put in charge of things. Maria was exactly that person!"

"I usually don’t leave reviews, but I can't recommend David Wheaton highly enough. He was unfailingly knowledgeable, good humored and available for any questions we had. He made the entire process easy and even enjoyable in a very unpredictable market. We love our new home and David played a large part in finding the perfect one."
Vanessa B.
"I’ve had my fair share of realtors in my life and there has never been one that I absolutely loved working with besides David. David by far exceeded all my expectations in a realtor.

Nancy S. - David’s expertise and guidance was invaluable in our search for a home during the recent volatile real estate market. His knowledge of the market, responsiveness, hard work and extensive research helped us navigate, and avoid moves we would have surely regretted. Over the course of our search, David became a trusted friend and advocate with his seemingly unlimited amount of patience, (we admittedly required a lot) and cool, calm demeanor. We recommend him highly. And yes...we like David very much." Read Less

"David was so much more than I expected from a real estate agent. My fiancée and I were first-time home buyers who had reached out to David on a recommendation from a friend. David was prompt to set up a call to walk us through the process and understand our wants and needs. His knowledge and years of experience in the greater Baltimore area were exactly what we needed, having never previously boug… Read Moreht. He was always available for a conversation and was more than happy to address my many questions. If he didn't know the answer, he knew somebody who did. David was especially effective when it came to establishing lines of communication across all parties involved when we began making an offer. He was in lockstep with our lender to ensure we were able to present our best offer in a timely manner. As a younger millennial, many of my friends and colleagues will be entering the market in the near term and I will be eager to recommend David to each of them." Read Less

"If there were 6 stars, he would get six. I have been fortunate to buy several homes in my lifetime and have worked with wonderful real estate agents, but NONE compared to David Wheaton. He is competent, thorough, attentive and seems to be 1 step ahead in all arenas of home purchasing which is rare to find. If I am blessed to buy more property I will be doing so only with David. To me, he was my lo… Read Morettery win for this decade." Read Less

"We tell everyone - we were so lucky to find David! David patiently shepherded us through our journey as we explored properties that fit the broad idea of what we wanted, and as we narrowed our spec to find the perfect fit. Through each phase, David - who’s both an experienced agent and was previously a lawyer (useful for explaining legalese!) - was very accessible and responsible, going out of his… Read More way to answer or get answers to even the littlest question.

"Chelsea made the process of buying our first home seamless in this crazy market. She worked all hours day or night with us to find and close on our perfect home. She negotiated well on our behalf and always had our best interest at heart. She even went above and beyond after the sale securing information for us that helped repair an issue through the manufacturer.

Client
"Chelsea went above and far beyond in her efforts of staging, listing, and marketing our home. Multiple offers in 24hrs. Even when we ran into some trouble and ultimately had to relist, she bent over backwards in an attempt to salvage the deal while simultaneously securing a second buyer. You will not be disappointed working with Chelsea Botley."

"Chelsea was exactly who we needed to sell our home. We lived in the same house for 16 years and were ready to move on but had no clue where to start.

"Shannon assisted us in finding a new home in Westminster. We are moving from Minneapolis so she provided great insight about the market. She guided us in structuring the offer so that it would be as strong as possible. Ultimately, our offer was accepted rather than another offer at a higher price because of the strength of our offer and Shannon’s professionalism.
She then guided us through the in… Read Morespection process and identified inspectors for us and helped coordinate the process. When issues arose with the inspections, she guided us in identifying the corrections and then handled the negotiations with the buyer so they would make the corrections. She then followed up to make sure the corrections were properly completed.
Our offer included a fairly short time to close, so Shannon referred us to a loan officer who she trusted and knew would be able to get financing completed in a timely fashion, which they did.
Finally, we made the offer on the home, without seeing it. Shannon gave us a detailed view using FaceTime before we made the offer. She was our eyes and had learned our tastes, by previously looking at properties together. It was perfect.
I am a retired real estate lawyer, a licensed Minnesota real estate broker and residential real estate developer. I have been involved in the sale of over 2,500 lots in the Twin Cities and in the course of doing so I have worked with more realtors than I can remember. Shannon is by far, the most skilled, competent and capable realtor that I have worked with. Use her, you will not be disappointed." Read Less

"My experience with Carly Lobus was amazing. She explained everything about the home buying process very well. Was patient and very informative especially for a first time home buyer. She continues to support me even after I bought my home. She did a great job and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home or an investment property."
Brianka Enck
"We met Carly Lobus by chance when we had a disaster in our house. We made a request to tour a home and Carly answered. She took to any of the homes we suggested and there were many.

She was relentless in helping us when we shared our story with her. She m… Read Moreight be young but she is very perfessional. I would recommend Carly to any of my friends and family." Read Less
