There are not enough words of praise for Courtney. I’ll start with the most important thing: the results. I am absolutely in love with my house. And considering this wild housing market, I’m here because of Courtney. She is the perfect combination of advisors that you want when searching for a home: equal parts savvy and quick real estate expert plus an emotionally intelligent friend and confidant throughout the process. From Day 1, even though I was only ‘casually looking,’ Courtney made me feel like she was delighted to go see houses with me, and every single time, it felt like I was browsing with a close friend – no “seller” tactics, no trying to...

We loved working with Courtney! We were first-time home buyers and had no idea how to do this process. We knew what we wanted in a home and the general location or area but when it came to all the official things and paperwork we were clueless. Courtney made it so simple and easy and consistently communicated how the process works, what was needed from us to stay on track, the next steps, etc. We were never left confused or unsure of what to do next. She gave great advice on how to negotiate, and how to craft our offer, and was always organized and on top of everything. I would recommend Courtney to anyone and if we ever want to move again I would g...

My husband and I relocated from New York to North Carolina which, in itself, is very stressful. We were fortunate to have Courtney as our agent. She was very knowledgeable, and always available seven days a week to answer questions and provide resources. We bought our house online (without a physical visit) so it was essential that we trust Courtney to represent us and understand our needs which she did. She connected us with other contacts who helped with the purchase. When we met Courtney on closing day, she was as gracious and wonderful as she had been over the phone and the internet. The closing was easy and we are delighted with our new home. W...

Courtney is warm, knowledgeable, and professional all qualities you absolutely want in an agent! She was great and showed us options with our wishlist in mind and was receptive when we altered our list. She was a blessing when it came to wading through all the red tape of buying a new build from reviewing the endless contract pages to doing several walkthroughs through the build at different stages her book and practical knowledge and expertise were exactly what we needed to feel good and confident about our purchase. 10/10 recommend her to anyone who needs a buyer's agent.

I bought a condo in 2020 and Courtney was amazing! Due to the pandemic, we had our initial meeting via zoom. After our meeting, she quickly sent me information. Courtney walked me through the processes and all documents that needed to be signed. She was always available for questions. Courtney always wore a mask and had sanitizer during this pandemic. She is very professional and hardworking. I liked her so much that my parents also used Courtney to buy their new home and sell their old one. I would highly recommend Courtney and will use her for any future business.

We worked with Courtney for almost a year to find our new home. We had a specific area we wanted to be in and Courtney was very helpful and patient with us in our search. We never felt stressed or pressured. We had such fun working with her. We did finally find our new home and are enjoying it! We can't thank Courtney enough for hanging in there with us and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a home. Courtney also helped us sell our current home. Thanks, Courtney!

Courtney was amazing to work with. My husband and I looked for months for the perfect home. We had a few hiccups along the way and some disappointments. Courtney helped with all of our questions, and concerns and was available all the time. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and personable. We could not have had a better experience with her. If we ever need another Realtor®, it will be Courtney.

I am a first-time home buyer and I was grateful to work with Courtney who helped me every step of the way.

Through every little bump in the road, Courtney made the process as stress-free as possible and she helped me buy the house I wanted! I highly recommend Courtney!

Courtney was wonderful in getting my parent's house sold. She oversaw getting key upgrades to the house, which not only increased the value of the property but helped it sell on the first day of listing. The entire family really appreciated her knowledge, patience, and kindness. She was there every step of the way and we knew that she could get the job done. Thank you, Courtney!

Courtney helped us find the perfect house in the midst of the crazy market. We gave her some very particular criteria for what we were looking for and she found us the perfect house. She had some good advice on making a competitive offer that I would have never thought of. 6 months later and we could not be happier with the house.

We had such a great experience working with Courtney! She was really committed to finding the perfect house for us. We were looking for a fixer-upper and she helped to find one that was just right. She was super helpful with helping to find contractors and repair people. She is really enthusiastic and easy to work with!

Courtney is by far the best Realtor® I have ever worked with. She was very quick to respond and always professional. She had knowledge of the development of the area and was able to provide potential issues that may affect the home value in the future. Five stars are not enough for Courtney!

Courtney really knows the local real estate market and was able direct us to the right home for us, on the very first try! She was with us every step of the way. We really benefitted from her knowledge and experience and we feel she had our best interests at heart the whole way.

Thanks to Courtney Whalen we are now living in our dream home and we actually enjoyed the purchasing process. Courtney always gave us honest and accurate advice.

Courtney was first my neighbor, and then my agent! She is an asset in our community and has her finger on the pulse of growth, community spirit, and neighborhood vibes. She is very knowledgeable and kind in her communication.

I was a first-time home buyer and she made the process extremely easy and enjoyable! She was very communicative and always available when needed regardless of the hour or day! I would highly recommend her!

What a great agent to work with! She made the buying experience as easy as can be for me. Highly recommend! Would work with her again at any time. She took care of everything.

Simply put, Katie is awesome. She is an exceptional real estate agent and person. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in purchasing our first home. Her positive attitude and professionalism made a potentially stressful process go smoothly. Katie is incredibly diligent and always went above and beyond to find any answers we needed. Additionally, her team proved to be a valuable asset, providing support and expertise when needed. We cannot recommend her enough!" - Justin C.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Katie through my home buying process! She was so responsive, enthusiastic and always encouraging when things didn’t work out as we hoped. She was so helpful with all my questions and was available any time I needed her. I would definitely recommend Katie and would absolutely use her again!

We had a great experience selling our house with Courtney Whalen at Compass Realty. From the first meeting through the final steps of closing, she was enthusiastic and communicative. She and her staff were particularly considerate about looking after the property which was empty for three months of harsh winter weather. We appreciated her suggestions for marketing the home, and also that she didn't insist on changes we weren't prepared to make. I would definitely recommend Courtney to anyone considering selling a property in Raleigh.

Working with Courtney on both selling my home and buying a new one was a really great experience. She listened carefully, offered thoughtful guidance, and made the entire process feel manageable. I always felt well supported by Courtney and her team. Courtney's suggestion to use an exclusive listing ended up being a great decision, and I felt confident trusting her throughout. She referred me to other professionals who were immensely helpful with advisement on financials, repairs, and interior design. Courtney is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely caring. She is well networked in the community which is so important. I’m very grateful for her ...
