Desiree Whalen works hard to find what you the customer is looking for. She talks with you and takes notes as you review key items that are important. We were relocating to NC from NJ and Desiree helped steer us to areas that would be very good for us to live. During the time we looked at homes three to four-month period Desiree was always willing to show us different homes or to just talk by phone to help us narrow down our list. Desiree took the time to review the home buying process prior to us making offers which really helped when in the process to be calm and understand it better. I really liked that. Desiree truly knows the area of New Hanover and Pender County and I feel really try to ensure we understand the home/community we are buying. This was great.I would highly recommend Desiree to anyone who is looking for a home in this area.

Desiree was so wonderful to work with and the whole Whalen team made my first home buying experience so easy and enjoyable. I was able to stick to my timeline and found the perfect house before Christmas. Desiree was so accommodating with my work schedule and always happy to answer the thousands of questions I had. I highly recommend the Whalen team to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. They go above and beyond to help you find the perfect home and price. Thank you so much Desiree, you are awesome!!

My name is Bob Rider. I purchased a beautiful home in North Topsail Beach, N.C. Several years ago and contracted with Deborah Whelan and her team to find me my dream home. Not only did she find me my dream home but negotiated a price that was tremendously affordable. Unfortunately, a couple of years later, I suffered a stroke and was forced to sell my dream home. I contacted Deborah Whelan once again and she came up with a wonderful and compelling sales strategy, along with incredible marketing strategies. Long story short; very short, my home sold in just 3 days, with the offer coming in at above the asking price. Needless to say I was thrilled with Deborahs excellent work and personable service.

Working with Jennifer Cox and the Whalen team has been a great experience. Jennifer was able to answer all my questions and help us with snafus that came up with our lender. She and her team are very pleasant and patient and offer a no-pressure experience with lots of helpful advice. Whenever I had a question, Jennifer got back to me right away and kept me informed of what would be happening next. Jennifer really went above and beyond what I would have expected from a realtor when she searched out properties with handicap-accessible features, to provide me with a detailed listing of properties which fit my needs. It probably would have taken me hours to look through the properties myself. She was a tremendous help and I'm very glad that I selected Jennifer Cox and the Whalen Team for my home-buying experience.

We worked with Desiree to find a second home in the greater Wilmington area. She knew all the areas and provided needed guidance to help us zero in on what we really wanted. Desiree is honest, hardworking, responsive and knowledgeable. We looked at many houses both on the internet and in person. When we found our house, she made sure we didn't loose it. Once we had a deal, I was amazed at the service her office staff, especially Jeanette, provided. I am a lawyer and have bought 10 houses and have never seen the back-up after the contract as in this case. Her office walked us through everything, arranged for everything and provided constant reminders as to what was needed. Just a totally pleasurable experience!

Desiree was amazing for me. I was selling a rental home while living out of state and she was able to get a contract before the home hit the market and although it was a bluff we were in contract nearly a week afterward. The home spent nearly no time on the market. A previous realtor told me to list for 50K lower because her comps were off. Desiree was amazing; I'd give her 10 stars if I could.

Desiree is the absolute best realtor I have ever worked with. She went above and beyond to get our home sold as quick as possible. She is reliable, professional, honest and a true go getter. She worked so hard with marketing, advertising, open houses and kept on top of everything. She really made my experience selling a home wonderful. I highly recommend her if you want to get the your home sold or if you want to buy a home!! Either way she is A+ a top pick for sure!!

Desiree is an excellent realtor and always goes the extra mile. She is the first choice for our family real estate needs. We are repeat customer and have purchased two homes including a beach home and condo. The condo was used for our younger son who was attending UNCW. She later helped us with the sale of our beach house. Most recently she helped with a lot purchase. Desiree is now helping us pick a builder to build our home for retirement. She has also helped our oldest sons family purchase their first home. Desiree has helped us through a lot of life changes.

I can't say enough good things about Aleisha. She helped my husband and I buy a home in Wilmington NC and she was there for us all the way. This was my 6th time buying a home and she was the best agent I've ever had. She had so much patience with us-we wanted to look at everything-and she showed it to us-even when we all knew a home wasn't really for us-she took the time. She's very savvy with helping a buyer make an offer that gets the sale. Her office is the most efficient real estate office I've ever done business with. It was a fun adventure finding a home with Aleisha's help and now we are so happy one month later in our home. Thanks Aleisha!
