Who We Are

In July of 2017, "Upshaw Real Estate Group" at Whittington Realty was formed. Team members include John Upshaw, Toni Bobek, Jorge Legarda, and Cathy Caprenter. Our mission is to Serve Others Through Real Estate.

John Upshaw

In just a short period of time, John has become one of the hottest real estate agents in the OKC metro area. A former school teacher/coach (and the son of his late parents who were Realtors in the 70s & 80s), John put his previous experiences into the real estate world where he "serves others through real estate".

Named by his colleagues as “Realtor of the Year” in 2017 & “Top Producer” in 405 Magazine, John loves helping others make their dreams come true.

Our Big WHY

Serve Others Through Real Estate

Toni Bobek

I believe it is important to have any agent who is truly committed to helping you buy or sell your home with the highest level of expertise in your local market. That's why I focus on helping you understand each step of the buying or selling process.

Nothing is more gratifying than the feeling I get from helping people meet their real estate needs. You can count on me to always do what's in your best interest.

I pride myself on being honest, trustworthy, and knowledgeable in the real estate market. I know how important it is to find your dream home or get the best offer for your property. Therefore, I will make it my responsibility to help you achieve those goals. Whether you are an experienced investor or a first-time buyer, I can help you in finding the property of your dreams.

Toni Bobek – Toni was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She received her Bachelor of Science from the University of Oklahoma. After being a stay-at-home mom for 20+ years she taught school at Victory Academy in Oklahoma City. She and her husband helped to create student outreach at inner city schools, Toni was part of providing food programs along with college and career readiness advice for graduating seniors. She has since earned her real estate license and now works the Oklahoma City metro and surrounding areas.

Jorge Legarda

Hello, my name is Jorge Legarda. As a multi-million dollar producer, I strive to proactively meet customers' expectations while always putting you first. I firmly believe in going above and beyond for each and every one of my clients. Connecting, understanding and listening are integral parts of my approach to building a strong relationship.

Purchasing real estate is one of the largest investments in most people’s lives. For this reason, I continuously keep up to date on all aspects of the business so that I am ready to serve you with the level of expertise you deserve.

Real estate has always been a big interest of mine. When not fulfilling my passion, I love to immerse myself in nature's beauty as well as travel and experience what the world has to offer. I also love to cook and explore new types of cuisine.

With motivation and determination, I am ready to walk you through your next great experience!

I have a heart for military families and helping them with navigating through the real estate process. It does not matter if they are new to the area or have been here for a while, it is my pleasure to serve those who are serving our country.
