Review for Member: Jim Whatley
ZillowVERIFIEDJim Whatley recently sold our house in Niceville. We are a military family and have bought and sold five homes on the Emerald Coast over the last several decades. We have never had a better realter than Jim - but could have spent a much higher commission elsewhere. Jim's no-nonsense, common-sense approach takes the emotion and drama out of listing/selling a home. We will absolutely use him again if we buy/sell and highly recommend him. Thanks, Jim!

ZillowVERIFIEDI 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!

ZillowVERIFIEDI'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.

ZillowVERIFIEDJim 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.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe 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.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have had a lot of real estate transactions in many states. Jim W was by far, one of the easiest broker/agents we have worked with. We explored many different properties for many different needs. He encouraged us to look at all we wanted, offered opinions when asked and, when we pulled the trigger on something, walked beside us throughout the process. I highly recommend his services. When we have a real estate need, he will be our first call.

ZillowVERIFIEDJims knowledge and experience was greatly appreciated. Sold my home quickly in a draggy market. Provided great tips during the sale process, communication throughout was perfect. His 1% realtor fee was worth much more. Why would anyone pay more? Thank you Jim!

ZillowVERIFIEDJim went above and beyond to bring in great offers and to close the deal. Not only does Jim have excellent knowledge of the area, contacts with contractors who I needed to prepare for selling, but his personal attention sets him apart from other realtors I have done business with in the past.

Review for Member: Jim Whatley
ZillowVERIFIEDI am immensely grateful that I found Jim Whatley to be my Realtor aEUR" I am confident that the only reason I am in such an amazing home is because of him. If you are looking for expertise, excellent communication, proactivity, a genuinely good person, and someone that cares about you (and what you want) aEUR" look no further. Give Jim a call! His authenticity as a person and knowledge make him a rare find, and he took the stress out of the homebuying experience in a tough/competitive market. He is hands down the best Realtor I've worked with. Working with Jim Whatley to buy a home in the Fort Walton Beach area was one of the best things that could have happened to me. To say he went aEUR~above and beyond would be an understatement, and his professional expertise in the area was top notch! I was an out of state buyer and not only did Jim ensure he was available the entire time I was in town, but he also diligently and pro-actively continued the search after I left town. He made sure he knew what was important to me and without a doubt he had my best interest in mind aEUR" it was important to him that I was happy. Based on this I trusted him enough to put a house under contract sight unseen. This is one of the many things that makes him a one-of-a-kind find as a professional. After we were under contract, he remained highly communicative, ensuring I knew the important timelines as well as bringing state of the art camera equipment into the home so I could see a 3D tour and have precise measurements. He expertly navigated every aspect of the process and represented my interests in my absence for every step.

Review for Member: Jim Whatley
ZillowVERIFIEDReading reviews for Jim I noticed quotes saying that he not only was a great realtor but became a friend . I have to say that is exactly how it turned out for me as well. Jim assisted in selling my home in Fort Walton Beach and my mothers home Pensacola. Mine went under contract in 3 days and my Mothers in 5. He also assisted in a friends sale in Pace which also went under contract in 3 days. Jim was always asking what he could do to assist us above his duties as the selling agent, and when my movers left me in a bind on moving day, while I was en route to central Florida, Jim contacted a specialty mover for my motorcycle and had it shipped for me. Talk about above and beyond. I only give Jim 5 stars because more are not offered on the review site!!! Way to go Jim, a true professional and all around great guy!!!

Review for Member: Jim Whatley
ZillowVERIFIEDJim is not your average realtor. He truly has a passion for what he does, and it shows. He not only sold our home quickly, but also helped us secure a top offer. Since we live in Alabama, Jim went out of his way countless times to check on the house as repairs were being completed and kept us on target to close as soon as possible. Jim used state of the art photography equipment that capitalized on the aerial view and the interior pictures were amazing! Jim was highly recommended to us by a good friend. He has changed our view on realtors. He is an honest person who takes pride in what he does and works to please his clients. His commission was considerably lower than other realtors and we couldn't have walked away with as much profit if we went with anyone else. We were so thankful to find Jim and we WILL look him up when we move back to Florida!

ZillowVERIFIEDJim has helped me with multiple sales/purchases over the years. He always gives a lot of service for a reasonable price. In our most recent purchase (after he had helped us sell our house in 6 days), he really guided us through a crazy market, with multiple offers, and people paying way over asking price, to get us the perfect house. I highly recommend Jim for your realty needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDOutstanding overall experience through and through! Working with Jim at Uber Realty on the sale of our home in Navarre was a great decision. His way of selling and style worked very well and matched what we needed at the time. Uber Realty is a unique company and model but it delivers and can save you some serious money over the course of the transaction, just like Jim mentions directly on his website. Jim was very attentive to our needs, walking us through the steps as we were navigating the sale of our home. We had a very busy timeline with making everything work, but he was there for us each time we needed help and it all worked out well. Highly recommend Uber Realty!

ZillowVERIFIEDI have known Jim Whatley for several years. He helped us with the purchase of a home in the Orlando and to sell a property in the Niceville areas. As a matter of fact, he traveled to Orlando to show us property and he worked directly with the listing agent instead of turning us over as a referral. Although 500 miles from his home base that transaction was flawless. Jim knows the real estate business, Period. I say this from a buyer's perspective and from a seller's perspective. His knowledge and negotiation skills are second to none. Our latest sell was under contract within two weeks of listing. We had a clean contract with the terms discussed before listing--there was no need for any counter offers. We got what we asked, and the house closed within 45 days. Plus, we only paid a 4 percent commission. That was a savings of $4,000. Will always trust Jim to handle our real estate needs. Will always recommend to others Andy and Carol Coleman

ZillowVERIFIEDJim made the process of selling my moms house much easier than I expected. He is very knowledgeable, responsive, reasonable, and personable. I was so pleased with the entire process; he takes the time to explain things and options to consider during the negotiations. The professional photography of the home highlighted all the best features and it looked great online. I know that his expertise and calm reassurance helped me through the emotional part of letting go of moms house. Highly recommend Jim Whatley, he is a great realtor with a fantastic business model.

ZillowVERIFIEDJim made selling our home seamless. He worked very hard to sell our home in a very timely manner. He hired the best photographer and videographer to capture every aspect of the property. He got the information about our house out on great websites. He followed through from start to finish with offers and contracts. Above all that, Jim was kind and helpful throughout the entire process. He was always responsive and easy to get in touch with. Oh, and by the way, Jim did all of this for less money than most real estate agencies. We definately made the right choice with Jim Whatley and Uber Realty.

He was willing to do any and everything, large or small...volunteering to help with our move, monitoring progress of estate sale, sending requested paperwork/photos, running personal errands for us, and immediately responding to our texts 24/7. We were absent sellers and it meant a lot to know our home was in good hands...thanks to Jim, our house sold quickly and profitably! Check out Uber Reality and learn more about how qualified Jim Whatley is to list your home...its all good!

Review for Member: Jim Whatley
ZillowVERIFIEDI contacted Jim because he had sent me three advertisements as a discount real estate broker. I had never used a discount broker before. He came to my house and sat at my kitchen table and discussed how he would manage the sale of my house. I became convinced that he would do anything I would expect from a full fee broker. He provided me with a detailed estimate of the current sales prices for similar homes in my neighborhood. Jim did a beautiful job of taking pictures of the house and neighborhood. Once the house was advertised he was totally responsive to any and all issues that arose. I needed to make a few small repairs to the house but because of recent hurricane damage to a town near by repairmen were hard to find. I called Jim and immediately he sent professional people over and got the work completed. All kinds of questions came up during the advertisement period and Jim was always available at all times of the night and day to assist in the responses. I always felt comfortable with his guidance. Last but not least Jim filled in for me when I had to depart for my new home before the movers finished packing my household goods. He stayed with the movers until everything was packed. I was very happy with the sales price of the house and the over and above performance by Jim.

ZillowVERIFIEDChoose Jim Whatley! Agent Jim (James) Whatley did an excellent job for my family move and provided unexpected services after move-in day. Jim represented the sellers of our new home, however, he treated us like his own clients. Whenever we moved in he did a number of things to make us feel welcome and prepared for Florida home ownership. Specifically, he showed me how to properly tend to the HVAC unit, outdoor air conditioning fan, sprinkler system controls, and the electrical brick. Also he gave us a wall plug that tells you if the electrical outlets are working and ensured all of our wall jacks around water were set to protect against electrical incidents. The biggest thing Jim did for our family occurred when our dishwasher would not start immediately after closing on the house and moving in. In spite of the position I was in, having already signed ownership of the house, Jim offered to write me a check out of his own commission for $270 because he knew the harsh truth to owning a home - sometimes you draw the short end of the stick. With this monetary gift, my wife and I were able to purchase a mid range dishwasher that should last us 8-10 years. I cannot say enough about Jim Whatley and hope this review encourages you to choose him for your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDI was very impressed at how Jim runs his business. He got things taken care of quickly, responded almost immediately to any emails or texts I sent him and he always keeping me in the loop of what was going on in the sales process. The closing ended up being delayed on the part of the buyer and because of the date change, Jim had to be out of town during the closing. He made sure an associate of his was there at the closing with me in case I had any questions or something unforeseen occurred. I would recommend Jim to anyone who is in the market to buy or sell a house.

ZillowVERIFIEDJim Whatley was the listing realtor for the sale of our house and the listing agent for the new home we just purchased. For the sale of our house he provided services I've never seen from a realtor before including, at his cost, a very thorough home inspection, a professional photographer to take photos of the inside and outside, and a 3D photo tour of the house. All of this was provided at a commission of only 4% when the normal commission for our area is 6%. I highly recommend Aoeber realty to any and all homeowners that want to sell their house.

ZillowVERIFIEDI was referred to Uber Realty by a friend who highly recommended them, and he was right...Jim is awesome. The whole process of selling our house was handled so smoothly and efficiently. We started trying to sell on our own, but decided to go with Uber after a month on the market. Jim's knowledge, expertise, and communication with us allowed us to feel confident in the selling process. He was always available and responded immediately to any questions we had. Jim helped us sell our home for a great price. We are very happy with the job he did, and highly recommend him. All of the services he provides and fee structure cannot be beat!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe sold our condo in Navarre, FL In 7 days from the time we listed our condo to having a signed contract. We closed the deal a month later. Jim was very honest and always responded quickly to any questions we had. We didn't spend much time with him since our transaction occurred so quickly but from the contact we did have, we were impressed. We also appreciated the lower commission rate.

ZillowVERIFIEDI am looking at a condo on Navarre Beach. Mr. Whatley is the listing agent. I asked him for a considerable amount of information in that I am 300 miles away. He was prompt with reply emails with all of the information that I had requested. I feel that he will be as professional as he has been if I become serious about this property.

ZillowVERIFIEDJim Whatley with Uber Realty was perfect for my wife and me. He quickly understood our needs; assessed the inventory available and literally reduced our choices into an ideal array of homes. His common sense approach to buying inspired us in making sure we stayed focused on our primary goal of buying what was going to e best for us. If there's such a term as "absolute reductionist" --- Jim is it. He cut through the clutter all the while offering us professional and --- affordable real estate expertise.

ZillowVERIFIEDUber Realty put our Shalimar townhouse on the market on June 2. We had a sales contract on June 11. The sale closed on July 10. Jim Whatley was absolutely indispensable to making this happen. He was present for the appraisal and for every inspection. When repairs were needed, he made all the arrangements. When an HOA-related issue arose, Jim quickly resolved it. Though the entire process, Jim was collected, resourceful, and responsive. If you need to buy or sell a home in Okaloosa or Walton counties, you should use Uber Realty. Jim Whatleys business model is simple and effective: keep the sales commission affordable and leave nothing to chance.
