“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.”

"We used Barbara about 2 years ago to find our first home in Harford County. We worked with Barbara and she showed us quite a few houses all within our budget and wants in a home. Being new to the process, Barbara was great. At times, when we needed it, she held our hand sort to speak through the process and gave us information so we learned the process too. We would definitely recommend working wiRead MoreRead Less

"David sold us our first home in 35 days. This second time around it took us only 30 days. Going with him again was an easy decision because he is less interested in a commission and more interested in helping you find the right place for the right price.

THANK YOU to Cindy and the whole team! It wouldn't have happened without you!"

"I came into the home buying process not knowing much at all but expecting it to be very difficult and a long process. Shannon made it very simple and stress free. What stood out is that she was helping me find a home and not just selling me on a house. Besides the knowledge and help she provided she also outbid 40-something offers to help me purchase my #1 choice. Thanks Shannon for making this exRead MoreRead Less
"All I can say is trust Shannon Smith with the sale of your home. It is not often that someone delivers on every promise but that is what happened with Shannon. We needed a quick sale due to a contingency on the purchase of a new home. Shannon coached us on exactly what and how to do it and delivered results within 24 hours of being on the market. Not only did we sell quickly, but we went under conRead MoreRead Less
"Shannon is someone I would describe as “born for real estate.” From our initial phone call, my fiancé and I, who are first-time MD home buyers, knew she was the right agent for us. Shannon not only knows the MD housing market, she also has practical, real-world knowledge about what to look for in a home itself. She understood our wants and needs and was honest with us throughout the process (“I knRead MoreRead Less
"My wife and I first met RJ 4 years ago. We attended a cancelled first time home buyers seminar, and hit the jackpot when we met RJ. RJ took the time to educate us on the home buying process. 4 years later RJ helped us buy or second house, and is now selling our other house. RJ has a wealth of knowledge on the market, and has a team in place that is second to none when it comes to making the largesRead MoreRead Less
