1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Work with an experienced, local Realtor because that local agent will be able to provide you with knowledge of the area and properties that you can't find online or that an out of area agent would be able to provide.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
It's best to hire an agent based off of their experience, strength of market plan knowledge and level of service. Do not hire an agent simply because they are telling you the highest asking price. A thorough agent will provide you a pricing strategy and why they are recommending that particular asking price strategy. Also, use a an agent that is local to the area you are selling because a local agent knows the market the best.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
I have represented both sellers and buyers. Being in a 2nd home/vacation home market, most of the sellers and buyers I have worked with do not live here at the Beach. So I am well versed with serving the needs of our out of town sellers and buyers.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
Sold an Ocean City condo for an elderly seller who lived over 1000 miles away. I was glad I was able to assist the seller so they did not have to come back to OC at all. I was able to completely handle the sell, which gave the seller great comfort.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
After graduation from college in 1994 with a degree in Physical Education, I moved to the beach. I soon decided that teaching was not going to be for me. So, I started bartending and waiting tables, trying to find my way in life and find a career that I wanted to pursue. In 1998 I started taking real estate classes and became a licensed Realtor in February 1999 and have been a full-time Realtor since.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
Resort & Second Home Property Specialist (RSPS), Associate Broker, e-Pro Certified, Garduate Realtor Institute (GRI). Take real estate continuing education classes yearly.

Dave Whittington checked all of the boxes of Knowledge, Communication and Professionalism. . We just purchased a condo in Ocean City, Maryland on 11/17/25. Dave provided us with excellence service. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I contacted him in September about real estate in Ocean City and gave him the property criteria that we wanted and the location. He set up a profile on the Real Estate MLS for us and we received notifications on all listed and upcoming properties that met our criteria. His communication was excellent and he was always very informative and always answered any questions that I had very promptly. Dave is very knowledgeable and has many years of experience in his business which makes him one of the best realtors out there. He is very professional, but also friendly. He made our buying a condo experience so enjoyable. We never felt pressured or rushed to have to make a decision on a property. He always emphasized that we had plenty of time and new property listings will be posted all of the time. Working with Dave was a very enjoyable and exciting experience. Dave answered all of our questions promptly, scheduled appointments to look at properties, gave us updates from the Seller when we wrote a contract, communicated and helped us with the ratified contract, communicated and provided information from the Seller's agent on the condo's HOA, prepared us for settlement, sent us emails with check lists of what we had to do prior to settlement, scheduled our walk through on the day of settlement and lastly settlement at the title company was fast and went smoothly. Dave Whittington is definitely the best realtor out there and we would rate him 100 Stars!!! We highly recommend him to everyone looking to purchase real estate in or around Ocean City, Maryland.

We had a fantastic experience working with Dave Whittington as our real estate broker in Ocean City, MD. Being from out of state, we relied heavily on Daves deep knowledge of the area and the local market, and he did not disappoint. He was honest, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Dave connected us with a great lender and attorney, and even when we hit a few hiccups with the mortgage, he stayed by our side every step of the way. His guidance and support made our first Ocean City purchase a smooth and successful one. We highly recommend Dave to anyone looking to buy or sell in Ocean City. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients!

Working with Dave during the selling process was having peace of mind. Communication is key when living a different state and trying to sell. Dave was there every step of the way and made the process extremely easy. We worked with Dave when we first bought the place and worked with him again when we sold it. His excellent professionalism made both transactions seamless. I highly recommend Dave.
