“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.”

“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. He was extremely responsive, caring and knew his stuff! He made my home purchase experience a breeze and took care of me from start to finish. David will forever be my go-to realtor as long as he’s in this business. If you are looking for an excellent realtor who you can trust to get the job done, look no further! Call him now! 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.”

“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 bought. 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.”

“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 lottery win for this decade.”

“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 way to answer or get answers to even the littlest question. He also has a strong list of contractor and suppliers, which came in handy several times, including when our lender was slow to help. We closed yesterday and cannot be happier. We attribute the speed and success of our purchase to David, and recommend him without reservation.”

"This may not be everyone’s opinion, but when you’re choosing a surgeon, the one who’s “Insta-famous” for funny posts is not the one I want operating on me. I want the one who’s focused on their craft, not their follower count. Same goes for realtors IMHO. There are realtors—the sales reps —and there are REALTORS—the ones who actually care, think, and do the work. John is a REALTOR. The kind of … Read MoreRead Less

"John was recommended to us when we started the journey of buying a house, and we are very grateful that he was. We found that having John as your agent is to benefit from his ability to not only break down every step of what is a very intimidating process but to also benefit from his ability to guide you through those steps with patience, attention to detail, and with clear dedication to you as hi… Read MoreRead Less

"John went above and beyond for my partner and I as we were buying our first home. He took us through each step of the process, so we clearly understood what we needed and answered all of our questions along the way. He made sure that the home we were buying fit our current and future needs. He even came and picked us up for closing in the snowstorm so we wouldn't lose our parking.

"We recently purchased a home in Baltimore while living in Texas, and we cannot thank John Maranto enough for making this process seamless and stress-free. From our first conversation, it was clear that John is deeply knowledgeable about the Baltimore market, pointing out nuances in neighborhoods that we never would have known from afar. He is incredibly attuned to the needs of his clients; he lis… Read MoreRead Less

His suggestions for minor improvements were spot-on and directly contributed to generating strong interest and a fast sale. He oversaw the recommended updates and managed the process seamlessly, which made everythin… Read MoreRead Less

"John Maranto was absolutely stellar to work with. He invested a lot of time in both my wife and I to ensure that not only did we buy the house we wanted, but also bought the house we *needed*. John made the home-buying process easy for us and as first time home-buyers, he made sure to educate us along the way. John is incredibly knowledgeable and answered questions before we had them.

"Working with John was great. He’s a straight up and straightforward agent. Really took care of me and got me into a home that was right for me.

We set expectations and goals and I think that meeting went a long way to easing my anxieties a… Read MoreRead Less

"In my book, Kelly Wise was the best realtor I’ve ever worked with. She knew the market and helped us successfully sell our father’s house. Kelly supported us at every decision point with expert guidance - making recommendations but providing the space to ask questions, which enabled us to get to the right decision. We lived at a distance during the entire process, and Kelly consistently stepped in… Read MoreRead Less

"Our home buying experience with Kelly could not have been better! Even with it being the start of a seemingly endless seller's market, Kelly kept us extremely motivated while the houses that we liked were going under contract in what felt like seconds after listing! Then we found the perfect home.. Kelly could tell by our faces that this was the one we loved. She was able to help us come up with t… Read MoreRead Less

"My husband and I bought a house early this year. We are so happy we crossed paths with Kelly. Kelly accommodated for the evening showings which were what fit our schedule at the time. We had her driving up and down but she always had a smile! When we found the home for us, we were closing within a month. Kelly made sure she was on top of everything and made it happen even though there were some hu… Read MoreRead Less

I highly recommend Jenn as an agent to either sell or buy. She will be there for you - answer calls and texts immediately. You really feel… Read MoreRead Less

"The housing market is insane these days. Jenn was an asset that helped get us the house that we loved. We had to beat out a large number of offers to get our house. Without her, I don't believe that would have been possible. She is extremely responsive, and was able to answer the many questions we had as first time homeowners. We were incredibly comfortable with the process with her at our side. W… Read MoreRead Less

"I can’t say enough good things about what it is like to work with Jenn. She helped us purchase our first home a few years ago and made that entire process painless and so exciting for us. Now almost 3 years later, she helped us sell our house after 3 days on the market for WAY over asking, giving us tons of advice that helped our house show as amazing as possible and find the perfect buyers.

He kept me very informed throughout the process, was always available by text and call to ans… Read MoreRead Less

He also showed me a lot of things to consider when we toured p… Read MoreRead Less
