    About Jim Whatley

    Most People Won't Like This (And That's Exactly the Point) Let me be brutally honest with you: I'm not the right real estate agent for most people. In fact, I'd guess I'm only a perfect fit for maybe 10% of sellers out there. And here's the thing - that's exactly how I want it. What if I told you that being "different" is your biggest advantage? While every other agent is desperately trying to be everything to everyone (spoiler alert: impossible), I've chosen to be something specific. Something better. I don't think like most real estate agents. I think like they should think. And that difference? It's worth tens of thousands of dollars to the right seller. Here's what most agents get wrong:

    I had the pleasure of working with Jim Whatley on a recent home purchase for a veteran client, and I cant say enough about the level of care and dedication he brought to the table. Jim went above and beyond throughout the entire process, navigating some tricky scenarios with patience, professionalism, and creative problem-solving. His commitment to doing right by his client was clear every step of the way. Its not every day you find a realtor who advocates so strongly for veterans and makes the homebuying experience feel smooth even when things get complex. Truly grateful for all he didaEUR"Jim is a true asset to the real estate community!

    I'm Vanessa, and this is the story of how I found a unicornaEUR"and the person who helped me do it. When I first started looking for a lot on Navarre Beach, I had a very specific vision in mind: water views of the Intracoastal, the perfect spot to build a dream home. Ill never forget my agent telling me, aEURoeVanessa, youre looking for a unicorn. It doesnt exist.aEUR? But I knew what I wanted. And a few weeks later, we found it. That unicorn lot became the foundation for a custom home I absolutely loved. So when it was time to sell, there wasnt a doubt in my mind about who Id call. I didnt care about bells and whistlesaEUR"I cared about working with someone I trusted. We had a history. He knew every detail of that home because hed helped me find the land it stood on. He was honest from the beginning. Homes like mine can take time to sell, and he prepared me for that. Even when it felt slow, I never felt alone in it. He always had a plan, always stayed calm, and kept me grounded. At closing, I smiled across the table and said, aEURoeRemember when you told me I was looking for a unicorn?aEUR? We both laughed. Thats what trust looks likeaEUR"someone who might doubt the dream, but still does everything they can to help you chase it. Even if youve got a wild dreamaEUR"and Jim says it probably doesnt existaEUR"hell still help you look for it.

    Jim Whatley of Uber realty wholeheartedly deserves this 5 star rating. His professionalism, knowledge and genuine concern for his clients absolutely relieved the stress and uncertainty that I and my son (as I am sure others) felt while I was selling my home. He was a wonderful support and advisor during the preparation for sale, the listing, showings and finally the closing. His innovative tiered approach to selling and commission worked extremely well. I am an older, single woman and was able to successfully sell my home with a tier that allowed me more profit from the closing costs. He was readily available for questions/concerns and has a retinue of qualified, professionals to address issues along the way. When I am ready to purchase another home, he will be the only call I will make.

    We sold my mom's home using Uber Realty. Jim was a pleasure to work with and was very knowledgeable about the market, local trends and prices. He found competent people to do the repairs needed and was always available to answer questions. I met with several realtors before listing with Uber and I made the right choice. I highly recommend Uber and Jim.
