Real People, Not a Call Center
When you work with Whatley Homes, you work directly with us—the owners. No middlemen, no corporate bureaucracy.
Scott Cole
30+ Years in Financial Services
After 30+ years in financial services, I saw families destroyed by foreclosure—losing their homes and their dignity. I watched inherited properties overwhelm grieving children. I saw divorcing couples trapped by houses they couldn't sell. I started Whatley Homes to offer a better option.
When you call our number, you're talking to me. When we visit your property, I'm the one walking through it. This isn't a corporate operation where you're passed between departments. It's a direct relationship with someone who genuinely cares about your situation.
I live in Eastern Pennsylvania with my family. The homes I buy, I improve and return to local families as quality housing. I'm not here to flip and run—I'm invested in these communities for the long term.
“Scott treated me with respect when I felt like I had no options. I walked away with money in my pocket instead of a foreclosure on my record.”

“After my father passed, I inherited a house that needed so much work. Scott made everything easy. He gave me a fair price and let me take my time clearing out dad's belongings. I couldn't have asked for a better experience during such a difficult time.”
James & Linda T.

“We were tired of maintaining our big house and wanted to move closer to our grandkids. Whatley Homes gave us a cash offer the same week we called. No repairs, no open houses. We closed in 3 weeks and moved stress-free.”
Robert M.
