“Jim has outperformed any other real estate agent we have ever done business with. He went above and beyond what we expected in helping us sell our home. He was always quick to respond to any questions we had, extremely helpful , very professional, great sense of humor, and extremely resourceful . We could not have asked for a better experience and would highly highly recommend to anyone looking for a real estate agent for buying or selling needs. Hands down.

He was “Johnny on the spot” for my 90 year old mom. He guided her from beginning to end through things. He was there for her like a long lost son.”

“An absolute pleasure from start to finish. Jim Whatley went above and beyond to keep us informed throughout the entire selling/closing process. We cannot say enough great things about him and his company. Jim was always there…be it in person, phone, or email with a quick response to any and all questions asked.

An overall amazing & smooth home-purchasing experience. Highly recommended!”

“This is the second time I’ve used Jim as a relator. I am happy I called him when it was time to sell the house he helped us purchase several years ago. Jim was hands on from the get go. Often times going over and above by making sure that I was kept informed and working to find contractors and getting several bids to address inspection items. He was easy to work with and very professional. The professional pictures taken of my home looked fantastic. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to sell or buy.”

“We have moved many times in our military and civilian careers and have used Realtors in all those moves. I select which Realtor to use very carefully, always looking for a Realtor that puts us and our needs above all else, and who will actually represent us at inspections, surveys, repairs, and more. In Jim Whatley, we found the best of the best. Not only is he the best full service Realtor, but his pricing is fair - fairer that all the others. I would use him without reservation. He keeps clients informed fully and insures all deadlines are met. We recommend him to all sellers and buyers. You will be very happy you used him.”

“I highly recommend Jim Whatley as your next real estate agent. He has different plans to meet your needs and budget, Jim is very responsive and personable!! Jim didn’t waste anytime helping us get our home ready and on the market. We had a full price offer in just one day and the whole process was seamless. He kept us on track and gave reminders as to what needed to be done and when. If we needed him he was always available by text, email, or phone. Jim is very knowledgeable and he has a good heart:) We were very satisfied from start to finish!!”

“Uber 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 Whatley’s business model is simple and effective: keep the sales commission affordable and leave nothing to chance.

‐‐Larry and Sheryl Griggs”

“Out of the blue one day we received the Uber Realty card in the mail. A quick comparison between Uber and other realtors easily showed Uber services were by far superior. A couple of months later after decluttering the house and staging it we contacted Jim Whatley to sell our home. Jim knows how to sell a home and we were not disappointed. He came prepared with comps from our surrounding area of similar homes like ours. Jim listened to our concerns and put a plan in action even going the extra mile by hiring a professional photographer to take proper photos of every room, helping us stage the home and listing in the MLS immediately. His plan worked very well for we SOLD our home in just 3 days!
Jim didn’t just stop there and wait for the closing day. He was right there with us during the home inspection, appraisal and a myriad of other issues which always come up when selling a home. We never had to wonder what was going on because Jim was on top of any issue working it first hand to ensure all parties were satisfied. Jim was so thorough he and his wife even helped us clean the house so the new owners could move in a few days early! This small gesture meant so much to us especially at a time we were physically worn out. This just reflects upon the professional character of Jim as a realtor and a friend.
Jim also helped us find another home to buy. Even though we decided to buy 50 miles outside the Fort Walton Beach area Jim jumped right on it finding the perfect house for us. He also had to deal with the most obnoxious homeowner in the process and gave up a portion of his commission to ensure the sell went through!
Jim is a professional, honest, and hard-working realtor always going the extra mile to ensure you are satisfied. We appreciate his honest and tell it like it is approach in both selling our home and finding us another. In working with Jim we have made a friend for life. We wouldn’t hesitate in using Jim again and highly recommend him as your realtor. Thanks Jim for all you’ve done!
”

“I want to thank Jim Whatley for a great experience in selling our house. His innovative process is completely different from any other I have seen:
-He has a very economical rate structure that beats all the competition
-He helped us set the right price for our house by having a pre-appraisal done
-He had a phenomenal professional photographer take the pictures of our house and made a beautiful photo album to sit on the coffee table for buyers to see.
-He arranged to have a pre-inspection done so we would know if there were any glitches that needed fixing and to give the buyers more confidence
And then when we had multiple offers come in, he came up with another innovation to get to a sale quickly.
Many thanks to Jim and his creative muse, Donna. If you don’t have Uber, you are going unter!”

“Jim Whatley defines Full Service Realtor.  When health issues raised the possibility of the sale of my mother’s home in Ft. Walton Beach, Jim Whatley stepped in and not only prepared the home for sale but managed the home while my brother’s and I were unavailable.  We all live at least 1000 miles away and having Jim as our representative in Florida was invaluable.  He set up maintainers to fix daily problems when necessary, forwarded mail, organized an Estate sale through a trusted source and numerous services not offered by Realtors.  He provided everything I needed to sell my mother’s home from half way across the country….all for a 4% commission!  Jim is the ultimate “Can-do” Realtor.  You do not have to ask twice nor follow up.  He gets things done ASAP.  He has a set of service providers that guarantee their work and I found that Jim himself rolled up his sleeves at times and did needed work if they were not available.  Jim was extremely timely with any correspondence and responded immediately even after normal hours.  He handled difficult negotiations and gave profound advise on counter proposals and useful insight to  potential buyers that may not have been good risks.  In the end, the house sold for my asking price to an excellent buyer and closed in only two weeks!  I highly recommend Jim  and thank him for his help in a difficult circumstance.  Jim really cares.

“When we decided to sell our townhouse in Navarre Beach, there was no doubt which realtor we would trust most...Jim at Uber Realty. The Uber philosophy is like no other we know of. Read his web page and know that we found each to be true. We were initially impressed by his sincerity and honesty. He spoke to us at length about the economy, the right pricing, and how he would market it. He had interested parties ready to show before we signed with him. Within weeks he had a qualified buyer and the process of all the details were in his hands. Emails and phone calls always returned promptly and any questions answered...and if he didn’t know the answer he quickly found out. Because of how very fair commission rates were structured we also ended up with more money in our pockets. We thoroughly enjoyed his sense of humor and many meaningful conversations we had with him. He taught us a few lessons we still live by and indeed now call him a treasured friend besides a business associate. Take a look at Jim’s philosophies and know that is how the Uber way really is.”

“Choose 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.”

“Jim at Uber Realty was great to work with, very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs during the sale of our home, can’t say enough good things about the process and everything was priced just like Jim lists on his website. I highly recommend Jim at Uber Realty!

“Jim worked with us for over 3 years on our relocation from Cleveland to the Florida Panhandle. We wound up building a home in Freeport and Jim was there every step of the way with his time and resources. Highly recommend Uber to buyers and sellers!”

“Jim is the best! Has your interest at the fore front and is willing to be there for all the must do walk through and inspection etc. We’ve sold two house in 3 years with his help.

Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value”

“Can’t say enough good things about Jim @ Uber Realty. He helped us sell a home & buy a new one. He’s very helpful & helped guide us through the process. He even drove neighborhoods & checked out houses for us & we were in another state, he’d take videos & give us his thoughts. He’s sharp, personable and consider him a good friend. Can’t go wrong with Jim.”

“Jim is a fantastic realtor, who goes above and beyond in every category. He is extremely knowledgeable and offers fantastic advice throughout the entire process. Would absolutely recommend.”

“Jim was efficient, straight-forward, hands-on, and made the process of selling our property easy. I highly recommend him.”

“If you just want your house listed, hire a realtor. If you want your house SOLD, hire Jim. He is the most professional, knowledgeable, and hardworking realtor we have ever met. It was a pleasure working with him.”

“Jim is a top tier professional. I complete many real estate transactions per year, and he is my go to guy.”

“Reading 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!!!”

“I am immensely grateful that I found Jim Whatley to be my Realtor – 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) – 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 ‘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 – 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.”

“We had an excellent experience Uber Realty - professional, responsive and provided fair, honest and much needed insight into buying out first home. Would highly, highly recommend”

“Jim went above and beyond to bring me a great offers, and worked overtime to close the deal.”

“Great experience! Highly recommend... Very responsive to all of my communications!”

“Jim’s 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!”

“This is the second time we’ve worked with Jim to sell our house, and he has done an awesome job both times despite very different market conditions between 2017 and 2024. Jim is very straightforward and timely in getting things rolling and keep the proverbial train on the tracks. I highly recommend Uber Realty!”

“We 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.”

“To Whom It May Concern:
Jim Whatley’s website for Uber Realty says he’s different. I know first hand that this is true.
What is different about Uber Realty? Jim knows what it takes to sell the house!! I have been trying to sell my mother’s house for 8 months. Listing my house with Jim brought MORE
VIEWERS in three weeks during the dead of Winter, over the holidays in than I had in the “prime selling season” for six months with another national chain realtor. In fact the HOUSE SOLD IN THREE WEEKS!
Jim knew that most potential buyers first screen their choice online and Jim made the website pop With modern staging, professional photography, and enticing wording. I am convinced that the online presentation made all the difference in the world to generate interest in this house and it worked!

Jim is the broker, the owner, and the decision maker for Uber Realty. So when you’re dealing With Jim, you are dealing with the boss, so you’ll never hear “this is the way we’ve always done things”. He is flexible, open to suggestion, amenable,and modern. Jim was always available and made sure all details were covered.I heartily recommend Jim Whatley of Uber Realty for any realtor needs.”

“Thank You for the successful sale of our Florida home. The Lord blessed us through you with this sale. We chose Uber Realty because of a postcard we received in the mail. Upon talking with you, we knew we had made the right phone call. We were impressed with your ethics and fair business practices. Your fees were below others in the area and that was important to us In my adult life I have sold 11 homes. This sale was by far the most favorable one. The following items, in our eyes, made you stand out in the real estate field:
You kept us promptly informed every step of the way. You went beyond our expectations by painting a repair when the handyman fell ill, and coordinated all the work that needed to be done and very importantly day or night and even weekends you answered our calls or returned them promptly when we had questions or concerns
You also honored your written and verbal promises to us We will recommend you and have done so with my sister. She has decided to list her home with you as well. ”

“The first thing we wanted from a realtor was honesty. Jim was honest with us in his assessment of our home and the home we were buying. We spent 3 years looking for that perfect home on the water and Jim helped us find it and was patient the whole time. But, when we finally found what we were looking for, he made it happen quickly, even on a difficult short sale. Jim got right to work selling our former home, creating plenty of traffic right away. Within a few weeks, we were set to close on our new home and had a contract on the home we sold.
And he paid attention to the details: Working with the selling realtor, Jim facilitated an estate sale that guaranteed our new home would be vacant at closing, which was no small task. Our dog had been injured and Jim took care of him for several showings so our dog wouldn’t be frightened by strangers. His personalized service included meeting contractors when we couldn’t and even helping us to change locks at closing.
All this and we received a top price on our sale and an excellent deal on the house we purchased, in no small part due to Jim’s assistance and advice. We recommend Jim to anyone thinking about buying or selling a home in our area!

“
With Jim@UberRealty.com there was
NO PRESSURE.

Our family looked for property on 30A for more than three years. Although we vacationed there many years, our home is a seven hour drive from the 30A area. We made many, many trips to the region and met with countless realtors, but until we met Jim Whatley with Uber Realty, we never really felt like our interests were first and foremost. The other realtors made us feel like we were simply “bargain hunters” surveying the area post-crisis. Jim’s guidance and interest in our needs was so overwhelmingly personal that my family and I wondered why there are other methods used by agents and brokers.
With Jim there was no pressure and no stress. He made countless visits; set up numerous viewings, and met us on more occasions than he probably deserved. His advice was reasonable, his communications were clear and precise, and he never failed to meet with us whenever we needed him; whether by phone, texts, emails, or in-person.
Jim removed every distracting variable from our transaction: the other party, the other realtor, the price, and the paperwork. Until he was comfortable that WE were getting what we wanted, he didn’t allow the other variables to influence us.
Our advice to anyone who wants to buy or sell a home: use Jim with Uber Realty. Like we were, you will be entirely confident you made the right choice.
