The Whalen Team of Nest Realty

Our family had a fantastic experience working with Desiree and Leigh from The Whalen Team when selling my mother’s home in the Wilmington, NC area. We listed during one of the slowest seasons of the year, but their strategy, communication, and dedication helped us sell the home quickly. Desiree was incredibly warm, patient, and understanding throughout what was an emotional process for my mother. She truly took the time to listen to what mattered most to her and provided thoughtful guidance every step of the way. She walked us through several options and offered helpful services to market and promote the home effectively, all while making sure we never felt pressured. Her assistant Leigh was also wonderful to work with and helped keep everything organized and moving smoothly behind the s

The Whalen Team, our Realtor, Sean Martin was so amazing in selling our elderly mother’s home to relocate her to SC. His professionalism, kindness, due diligence and most importantly patience was by far the best experience we have had with any realtor throughout our time. We truly appreciate him and the team, words cannot express our gratitude we have for this place!

We had about as good of an experience as you possibly can, buying a property. I have been talking with Sean on the phone for probably a couple years, been watching beach houses on their website for probably 10 years. Sean told me about 1031 exchanges, and the benefits of using one, when selling my rental properties. This is the only way we would have been able to go through with the purchasing of our dream / vacation rental. This was a very time sensitive, stressful kind of purchase, that Sean was able to close without a hitch. All the time, effort and knowledge he put in was greatly appreciated. Thanks again Sean, and Leigh too, for all her final closing help.

Sean and Desiree at Whalen Realty were absolutely amazing to work with! From start to finish, they made the entire home-buying process smooth and enjoyable. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication were evident every step of the way. They were always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and ensure everything stayed on track. What truly sets them apart is how much they genuinely care about their clients. I always felt supported and confident knowing I had such a fantastic team by my side. I’m so grateful for their help and highly recommend Sean and Desiree to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

I cannot say enough about Desiree and her team. Going above and beyond is an understatement. I lived out of state whileI was trying to manage the sale if a home. Desiree and Leigh managed a slew of construction projects, recommended trades people to work with, staged the house and so much more. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I was in great hands. They made me feel very comfortable. They are amazing communicators keeping me posted on everything in real time. She negotiated on my behalf and got me a great price for my home. I cannot say enough about how professional and caring they are. They are the ONLY team I would ever recommend - for buying or selling.
