Below are Testimonials & Reviews from Buyers that we have had the privilege to work for over the years.  We take great pride in the level of service I provide all buyers. Here is what buyers have to say in their own words about working with us. 

We were looking to buy a condo in OC, Maryland and so reached out to Dave Whittington to represent us as the buyers agent and help us with the search. We selected Dave based on the number of positive reviews he received. Dave set us up with access to this portal and kept us informed of the inventory. Each week, we started to narrow down on our exact wants and Dave would tune the search to tailor to our criteria. 3 or 4 weeks into the search, one Saturday, we saw a property that we absolutely liked. Only problem is, it was not yet a open listing ( rather coming on the market soon..). We called Dave at 7:30 AM to inform him that this was the unit we were interested in and ask for this advice. He told us to be ready to act immediately and if possible get ready to put in a strong offer. He was also going to arrange for a virtual tour of the property by getting in touch with the selling agent (property is not yet an open listing), going down to the property and see he could get into the unit and do a face time or a video call. With Dave's help, we actually ended up putting together an offer within an hour and Dave submitted the offer to the sellers. We had to drive down to OC the same noon as the seller was not comfortable considering the offer without the buyers physically seeing the property. Dave arranged for us to see the property and on the way back home from OC, we were informed that the seller accepted our offer and we were under contract!! We closed approximately 8 weeks after. Dave advised us on when we needed to act and what we needed to do and took care of the details at his end to ensure that we had the best buyers experience in this crazy market. We believe that one cannot go wrong with a Realtor like Dave Whittington on your side.

Bill & Maria - purchased waterfront townhome
Our success in finding the right property in Ocean City is directly attributable to Dave's support throughout the process. His expertise in the market was invaluable.

Walter B. - Purchased 3BR condo
I have been in Commercial Real Estate sales for 18 years, and Dave is one of the top Real Estate Brokers that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He was the first and only Agent I spoke with. I knew instantly that he is the person I wanted working for us. He is a gracious, responsive, honest person, and a local market expert with all the connections to make things happen. He was always patient and responsive with our questions and requests. He would take as much time as was required to explain the market trends and make sure we were comfortable with the nuances of the offers we were submitting. He always put our interests first and would advise and educate when things felt risky. He paid close attention to the details of the deal and made sure we were comfortable with and aware of them. His speed and local connections got us a signed contract on our third offer within 10 days of working together and BEFORE the official listing went active on the MLS. Dave looked after us like we were one of his own, and I will always be grateful to him and his team for making things happen for us.

Rob Ruzza - Purchased in Ocean Pines
Dave was fantastic throughout the whole experience. He always responded very promptly. Purchasing a house is a big deal, but Dave made the process as stress-free as possible to make us comfortable enough to go through with the purchase with no doubts. He did not hesitate to answer all of our questions and even encouraged questions to make sure we felt confident in the purchase. He will do whatever he needs to, including going above and beyond, to ensure you’re completely satisfied with your purchase.
Lance Weiner - Bought Ocean City Condo
I contracted Dave as an agent, during my search for an investment property in Ocean City, MD. Dave knows the area well and was able to direct me to properties in my price point that were appropriate to my needs. He advised me on what renters in different areas would look for as far as location and amenities, so that I could pick a property that had advantages over others. He also gave advice on properties that he felt had issues, such as being close to the road or ones that he had visited and did not show well. When it came time to put in offers, his comps helped me to come up with my own price range. Decisions have to be made quickly in this market, and Dave is readily available with the information and guidance that one needs to be successful.
Dena D. - Purchased Ocean City condo
Dave was amazing to work with! In an extremely unpredictable market with low inventory and high demand he was very responsive to putting our offers in. The condo we ended up settling on was under contract with us within 24 hours of being listed. He was able to do the final walkthrough with us via FaceTime because we are from out of town and that was very much appreciated. I highly recommend Dave and will use him again for any future sales or purchases in ocean city.

Right from the start we could tell that Dave was very knowledgeable about the area. He asked us good questions so that he could provide us with homes we would be interested in - rather then trying to sell us on homes that did not fit. He showed us places and discussed the pros and cons or each. We then found what become an investment opportunity and Dave was good at helping us negotiate the right price to buy the property. dave has also been great at managing with us the process for buying this property. Buying this property was not easy since there were many other aspects that do not come up in a normal sale - but Dave was there to keep everything moving along.

Donna B. - Bought Ocean City townhome
In November 2012 we purchased a vacation home in Ocean City Md. Using David Whittington as our real estate agent. The experience was a good one because of Dave. He was very patient with us since we were unsure of the location of where we wanted to purchase, whether it was on the bay side or the ocean side. We looked for approximately 3 months. David was very knowledgeable about the area and helped us make our decision and kept telling us it is a process and it may take a bit of time. He was very accommodating with us also, I would call him sometimes the night before and ask if he had time to see us, and he always made the time to do so, he was flexible with our schedules. He made us feel comfortable and not intimidated with the search for a vacation home. We asked many questions pertaining to ownership of a condo, and he would almost always have the answers and if not he would get the information that we requested, in a timely manner. When it came time to make an offer he was right on it! We made an offer an within a very short time he was able to follow up with counter offers. It was a bit of an ongoing process, but made easier with David and his professionalism and a positive attitude.

He provided information and reminders after the contract was accepted to help prepare for the settlement date such as providing information on changing the utilities, phone and closing day issues. He had professional contacts on all services that were required such as settlement attorneys, insurance companies and home inspectors and provided multiple contacts to choose from. I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to purchase real estate on the Eastern Shore.

I just purchased a 6 bedroom home on 124th Street in Ocean City and working with Dave made it easy. Dave took great care in understanding my criteria, budget, timeframe; he showed me several options and was very transparent in pros/cons, and offering insight well beyond the obvious. We had some sensitive issues through closing and Dave was extremely engaged and responsive. Even post-closing, Dave continues to make himself available to me. If competence and service are important to you, Dave is your guy.

I never do references, but this is the exception because Dave was EXCEPTIONAL.  From our first contact, he was prompt in his reply, easy to work with, totally knowledgeable and the most patient person on earth.  He showed us many properties till we fine tuned what we were looking for and he found it for us!  I will totally recommend Dave to my friends and family when they, too, are in the hunt.  Thanks again Dave.
Gold family - Purchased Oceanfront condo
In summer 2011 I drove by a condo that was for sale and called the number to inquire about the price. During our conversation Dave agreed to meet me at the unit in 15 minutes to provide me a tour. Although the unit did not fit my needs, Dave gathered information about what I was looking for and arranged to have periodic targeted listings that met my needs sent to my e-mail. The process of receiving e-mails was extermely helpful and not intrusive at all. At no time did Dave ever try to pressure me or push a process that was unwanted.In fall 2012 one of the listings Dave sent was of interest to me. Dave arranged a 1/2 day tour for my wife and I of various properties that were similar to the listing. Dave's expertise and knowledge of the market was extremely high. He was able to provide detailed answers to many questions and offered very thoughtful and professional advice as to potential pluses and minus of each property. By the end of the day my wife and I found a property that we thought best fit our needs.Dave provided an in-depth market analysis of similar properties to aid our understanding of the market. He further provided keen insight into details that would be important to the prospective negotiation that would arise from my offer. Ultimately the seller elected to elongate the negotiation. In response Dave and I agreed to adopt a "patient" response that included seeing other properties that would be of interest should the seller elect not to move toward my offer price. This counsel was critical as it insulated me from following a natural "emotional" approach and chase my own bid. Over time the "patient" approach prevailed and my wife and I purchased the house at the price we targeted at the outset of the purchasing process.Once the contract was signed, Dave was fully engaged to ensure closing was timely and without issue. He provided me a list of professional contacts for all elements of the close. He was attentive and checked in regularly to ensure I was on track with what I needed. All of this lead to a seemless closing.Prior to working with Dave I had never had a truly positive experience with a real estate agent. Quite simply, an agent was just a necessary evil of a real estate transaction. After working with Dave I now know what the "gold" standard is! I can truly say, Dave's effort reduced the risk of my purchase and allowed me to bid in a manner that saved me a significant sum of money.Dave, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have been thinking about purchasing a property in Ocean City, Maryland for several years, but waited until February 2012 to start to look. (Yes, a year ago!) Before we set up an appointment with Dave, we explained that we were just looking.Dave met with us and showed us different types of properties, and spent time explaining some of the ins and outs of the OC market. He was very accommodating, and put us on his property email list for our future reference. I watched listings for 10 months, and in December, found a short sale that looked interesting. I could not get down to OC to tour myself, so Dave went and did a "video" and placed it on YouTube. We placed an offer. Dave handled all of the details, explained each and every step along the way, and monitored the process to make sure it was moving along. A few times, he uncovered roadblocks by the bank, and got things moving again.We went to settlement in record time, and the day before settlement, Dave did the final walkthrough and discovered the owners had removed items that were supposed to stay in this "fully furnished" unit. We were both shocked by this extremely rare behavior, and the listing agent was dumbfounded. The owners were not responsive to requests to return the items, and given it was a short sale, the Bank was not willing to make any concessions in price. Dave negotiated renumeration for us to replace the items that had been taken, and we were able to settle on schedule. Dave knows OC and he certainly is experienced with short sales. This was an overall great experience. We have purchased 4 other homes over the years, and thanks to Dave's efforts, this was one of the best. Without his guidance, I doubt that we would have found this unit, or been willing to try a short sale, or even have settled. I recommend Dave to anyone who wants to find the perfect property in Ocean City, Md.

Dave Whittington is a true professional! We used Dave to help us purchase a condo in Ocean City, MD. I stumbled across his website www.BeachResortRealEstate.com a few years back and continued to use it to search real estate. When I decided to move forward I contacted Dave and he was very responsive, knowledgeable and accommodating. He always went over and above the call of duty to help us. He has alot of local contacts which made our buying experience very smooth. Dave was a great choice for us and we highly recommend him. Thanks Dave!
Woolford Family - Bought condo in oceanfront building
We relied upon the ratings on Zillow when we were looking for a buyer's agent to help us find a condo at the beach in Ocean City. The top agent, based on over 25 ratings, appeared to be Dave Whittington. Are we glad to have found Dave! Quite simply, in over 30 years of working with various real estate agents on both the buying and selling sides, Dave surpasses them all in customer service, knowledge and integrity. The bottom line is that he helped find us a condo that was the perfect fit to what we were hoping for, and he helped us negotiate a price within our budget. During the process he provided accurate information that allowed us to make informed decisions about which units were priced realistically, given today's market, and he pointed out pluses and minuses of the units we saw, many of which we would not have been aware of. When asked for advice, he was direct, straightforward, and backed up his advice with examples and data that showed that he knew what he was talking about. We particularly appreciated that he never steered us towards any property, as some agents do - he truly listened to our reactions and feedback, tailored the search to what we wanted, and then he acted in our best interest. That is a rare quality these days. We can't recommend Dave highly enough - there aren't enough stars in this rating to reflect what it was like to have Dave Whittington on our side. What we found equally remarkable, apart from Dave's knowledge of Ocean City real estate, was his extraordinary customer service: answering emails within minutes, even late at night, early in the morning, and on weekends. And that was for a period of many weeks - not just one time. Dave followed up not only on things he promised to do, but also on things the agent on the other side of our transaction was doing. He even reminded us to contact Delmarva so we wouldn't be without electricity our first day in our new condo. A last comment: we had, on and off over many years, looked into buying a condo at the beach, and had brief experiences with some of the listing agents in the buildings we were interested in. They were clearly more interested in listing units than in helping us find what we were looking for. Fair enough. Not everyone wants to assist buyers. Dave Whittington is more interested in helping his clients than in anything else, and it shows. You can bet that in the future we will be sending our friends to Dave - whether they are buying our selling, we know Dave Whittington will take good care of them. So if, like us, you are looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, honest, patient, and dedicated to providing great customer service, Dave Whittington is the right agent for you. This review is our way of saying thanks to all the people who posted reviews before us, and thus steered us in the right direction. And of course, a way for us to say thanks to Dave, who deserves the recognition.

David is a wonderful, a wonderful realtor. I got to know Dave after I saw many good reviews on Zillow. From the first a few contacts when I was looking for a condo, I could sense his professionalism – he replied email/calls timely, providing tips and his rich insights about OC condominium and, most importantly, he learned your needs and respectfully helping you search around that. With Dave’s help, it did not take long before I and my wife found our condo. During the whole process toward settlement, Dave provided us guidance in every single step with great details -- from inspection, financing, insurance to even our future rental business. Dave is truly a great treasure, I just cannot say enough about him. He truly lives up to good reviews and deserves more great credits. I would rate his work as top 5+ stars. If you are going to buy any property in OC MD, do not look further, Dave is your man. I can guarantee you that you will NOT be disappointed. Dave is a wonderful individual and a true 5+ star pro-realtor.
Michael Wang - Purchased ocean block condo
We worked with Dave to purchase a condo for a vacation home in Ocean City MD. Since we live in NY and it was difficult to get down to MD on a regular basis, we relied on Dave and his expertise to guide us through this purchase. I can not say enough good things about Dave and how smoothly this process went. We had many questions and were constantly locating new properties, Dave was immediate in his responses to our questions and inquiries about properties (he even called us back on a Sunday afternoon while shopping with his kids). He ultimately guided us in the best direction providing us information about specific properties and what we should expect from them in the future. He made sure we were fully informed on all aspects of each place we looked in to. I would recommend anyone work with Dave, he is not pushy and really has your best interest at heart. He is even willing to give you information on where to score a great meal.

Dave has a wealth of local knowledge. He was patient with us and answered all of our questions accurately and quickly. As we were out-of-towners Dave was able to assist us not only in finding a home, but help with the entire process. Dave made time for us on weekends and nights and made great use of electronic technology to speed up the process and get us relevant information quickly.We would certainly work with Dave again should we need professional real estate guidance in the future.
Castaldi Family - Purchased oceanfront townhome
We’ve been working with Dave for over four years. We explained that we weren’t quite ready to buy back in 2017 and Dave was very patient with us, showing us properties each year as we got closer to finding a vacation home. He knows the market well and was a great resource for understanding supply and demand. I appreciate his honesty throughout. Dave is also just nice guy to deal with. He was very professional and helped us through the closing process with proactive suggestions, quick responses, and accurate info. I recommend working with him without hesitation.

I would recommend Dave to any person looking to purchase real estate in Ocean City. He is very knowledgable and he made the process of buying a home an enjoyable experience.I would probably need three pages of text to express how much we appreciated all the time he took to walk us through the process, to show us homes, to explain in detail what to expect so there were never any surprises. Dave was diligent about his communication with us because as you know, home buyers can have multiple questions throughout the process. He was professional, courteous, and kind. I've very grateful for Dave. Thank you Dave!!!!

Gary H. - Purchased bayfront condo
Dave is amazing. If I could give 10 stars, I would. I called him and explained that I was a knowledgeable buyer, told him what I wanted, and when a unit came up, he was all over it. We made an offer immediately, negotiated quite a bit, and got a deal that I was thrilled with. He was there every step of the way. I will strongly recommend Dave to my family and friends.
Tom D - Buyer Canal Front Condo
When we moved here from CA, we looked for a place right on the beach. I came across Dave and he skillfully helped me to acquire our property. It was a tricky as-is purchase and he guided me also to contractors that I could use to fix this place up. Now, we came back to him to buy an investment property in OC. Again, he was terrific. I expect to continue investing in real estate here and Dave is our guy.

We were in the market to buy a home in Ocean Pines , Maryland. Dave Whittington reached out immediately and we connected immediately. Dave is very knowledgeable and on point. He sent us tons of info and a portal of homes we were interested in buying. The first home we wanted fell through and being let down we wanted to make an offer hoping the sale would not go through. Dave talked us in to looking at a home he thought we would like ,so we went to see and ended up buying. Dave made it happen for us . I would recommend Dave and his Team for anyone looking to buy.Hands down the BEST realtor on the East Coast
