About Uber Realty

A Real Estate Brokerage Built Around Seller Choice

Uber Realty was established in 2007 around a simple idea: homeowners should understand what they are paying for, what their choices are and why a recommendation is being made.

Selling a home involves too much money to make decisions from a sales pitch alone.

Here is what matters. Here is what the evidence says. Here are your choices. Here is what Jim recommends and why.

You decide.
Why Uber Realty Exists

A Homeowner Should Not Have to Buy One Package at One Price

Different homes require different amounts of work.

Different sellers want different amounts of help.

Uber Realty was built so the fee can fit the work instead of forcing every seller into the same service package.

The Real Estate Work Is Real

Pricing, preparation, professional marketing, MLS exposure, communication, offer analysis, negotiation and contract work still matter.

The Business Model Can Be Lean

A brokerage does not have to build a large office, franchise structure or layers of people into every seller's cost.

Not Every Seller Needs the Same Help

A well-prepared owner living in the home may need less routine in-person property assistance than a seller who has already moved away.

The Seller Should See the Choice

The point is not simply to charge less. The point is to identify the work first, explain the options and let the homeowner decide what fits.

Uber Realty had a choice when the brokerage was built.

Charge based on what the work reasonably requires, or build the same overhead and pricing structure sellers were already being offered.

Uber Realty chose the leaner model.
How We Work

Evidence Before Opinion

Real estate still requires judgment. The homeowner should be able to see what that judgment is based on.

1. Start With the Evidence

Look at the property, relevant sales, current competition, buyer alternatives and the facts that could affect the transaction.

2. Explain the Choices

If more than one reasonable path exists, explain the advantages, disadvantages, costs and risks of each one.

3. Put Money in Dollars

Percentages can hide the size of a decision. When useful, show what the fee, concession, repair or price change means in actual dollars.

4. Give a Recommendation

Jim will tell you what he recommends and why. You should understand the reasoning well enough to decide whether you agree.

The goal is not for you to leave saying, "I trust my Realtor."

The better result is that you understand the decision well enough to explain it yourself.

The Broker-Owner You Work With Directly

Direct Accountability

Jim Whatley is the broker-owner of Uber Realty and has led the brokerage since it was established in 2007.

Your core questions about pricing, preparation, offers, negotiation and the transaction are handled directly with Jim.

Experience Has a Job

Years in real estate matter only when the experience helps make a better decision today.

The job is not to say every problem needs a repair, every seller needs the most expensive option or every offer should be accepted.

Jim's job is to identify what matters, explain the evidence, work through the choices and help move the transaction toward closing.

Public Record

A Florida Company Since 2007

Uber Realty LLC's Florida corporate record shows the company was filed in 2007 and remains active.

The company filed its 2026 annual report in January 2026.

A corporate filing does not tell you whether a brokerage is right for you. It does give you something simple and useful: a public record you can check instead of taking the About page's word for the company's history.

The Uber Realty Model

Seller Choice Includes What You Pay

Uber Realty currently offers Simple Fee, 1% and 2% listing-side choices because not every sale needs the same amount of routine hands-on property involvement.

The Simple Fee and 1% options use the same core professional representation and marketing under the current model.

The 2% option uses the same core representation and marketing with additional hands-on, in-person property involvement when needed.

Start with the lowest-cost option that fits the work.

Buyer-broker compensation is separate, negotiable and seller-decided.

Exact fees, payment terms and service scope are maintained on the Listing Options page and controlled by the current written agreement.

Do Not Take Our Word for It

Read What Clients Say About Working With Uber Realty

An About page is supposed to say good things about the company.

Client experiences give you another source of evidence.

Look for what people say about communication, responsiveness, advice, negotiation and what happened when a transaction became difficult.

Then decide whether that sounds like the kind of representation you want.

Thinking About Selling?

Start With the House and the Decision in Front of You

You do not need a long presentation designed to convince you to sign a listing agreement.

Start with your home, what it is competing against, what may need attention, what selling may cost and how much help your situation actually needs.

Jim will show you what he sees, explain what he thinks the evidence means and tell you what he recommends and why.

You decide whether Uber Realty is the right fit.
