About
Chad Whitaker co-founded Whitaker Realty in 2001 alongside his father, Steve, building it into the boutique luxury firm that today leads the market for Fort Lauderdale's most coveted waterfront neighborhoods — Rio Vista, Las Olas Isles, and Harbor Beach. Over more than two decades, the firm has closed over $1.5 billion in sales, with Chad personally handling many of Rio Vista's landmark transactions.
Known for a hands-on, relationship-first approach, Chad pairs deep neighborhood expertise with the discretion and market knowledge that high-end buyers and sellers rely on. Whether guiding a buyer to the perfect waterfront estate or commanding top dollar for a seller, he brings the same care that has made Whitaker Realty a trusted name in South Florida luxury real estate for a generation.
