Whit Harvey

Office: 410-235-4100; Whit: 443-286-5808
A legend in Baltimore real estate circles, WHIT HARVEY’s career spans 35 years and counting. “Anyone who knows Baltimore has seen some dramatic changes over that time. It’s a different, and I think, a more interesting place than it was,” he says.
The value of Whit’s deep understanding of the Baltimore market is immeasurable when deciding when and where to buy and how to most accurately price, present, and sell a home. Added to this is a vast network of relationships, “which is really what this business is about — it’s how I hear
about listings and get information.”
“At the same time, my firm’s success requires teamwork; engaging other experts in different aspects of the business is absolutely key to our success, and partnering with Coldwell Banker has played a decisive role. Simply put, Coldwell Banker dramatically extends our reach in marketing your home.”
Whit’s son Carter has recently come on board, and with a background that resonates strongly with the millennial market, he is already expanding the team’s range of expertise.
“People come to us for real, practical advice. If it involves finding a window washer, a skilled roofer, or painter at reasonable rates — we are there. Whatever it takes. At the end of the day, your family’s hap- piness really is our number-one priority — it’s why I’m still in the business and working with second- and third-generation clients.”

KIM ROBERTS is that rare salesperson who both loves and excels in the trans- actional side of real estate. Detail oriented, “I love spreadsheets,” she laughs. Her ability to keep things on track is a major factor in the unique strength of this team. A licensed agent for more than 10 years, she has also recently taken on the role of transaction manager for the Whit Harvey Group.
Once a sale is made, Kim is the link between the client and all the moving parts. “Real estate is very time sensitive. My job is to get everything done on time. In that way, I’m a bulldog.”
What she likes about being on the Whit Harvey team is “our genuine commitment to going that extra mile to provide service. There are so many things that a buyer — particularly a first-time buyer — may not be aware of. Just yesterday, by tracking down a seller’s title insurance policy, I was able to get our buyer a significantly reduced rate on their own policy. Not every realtor will get that involved. That’s the kind of thing I mean.”
WITH COLDWELL BANKER RESIDENTIAL BROKERAGE
When not at work, Kim is very involved with her church. She and her husband have just downsized to a homestead in rural Pennsylvania, where she has a vegetable garden and raises chickens and ducks, while aspiring to bees, goats, and sheep.
