Meet Jerome
"Sarge" Whalen
Jerome moved to the
Roaring Fork Valley in 1983 from Evanston, Illinois and has been a
resident of Carbondale since that day. He graduated in 1977 from
Western Illinois University with a Bachelor of Science degree in
Parks & Recreation Administration. After having completed a
study in mountaineering, conservation and backpacking under the
instruction of Paul Petzold, Jerome received an accreditation as a
Certified Outdoor Leader and is a charter member of the Wilderness
Education Association. Prior to starting his real estate career
with Mason & Morse Real Estate in 1987, Jerome spent the
previous ten years in residential construction.
Since starting his
career in real estate, Jerome has achieved the designations of
Graduate of Realtor Institute (GRI) and Certified Residential
Specialist (CRS). The CRS designation is the highest designation
awarded by the National Association of Realtors. Of the more than
two million people with real estate licenses in the country, less
than two percent have been awarded the designation of a CRS.
Jerome acquired these designations because he strives to be the
best at his chosen profession, and to better serve his customers
and clients.
What people say
about Sarge…
"As you know I
am now settled in my new home. I couldn’t have been more
fortunate to find you to help in this process. With Bob having
died just a few months ago, I was very concerned about buying a
house on my own. Jerome, you were such a careful listener, asking
just the right questions, that we found the perfect spot for me
very quickly. During the days leading up to closing you were such
a help, right there to answer any questions I might have,
contacting people for me, going back out to the location and
remeasuring things for me, and just making things happen without
any problems. Jerome thank you for being so sensitive and caring
during the whole process. How lucky I was to have you for my
realtor. I feel I’ve made a new friend."
-Sharon Owens
"Working with Sarge was a successful and enjoyable
experience. He kept me fully informed during the sale of my house,
which due to Sarges efforts, was accomplished in an
extraordinarily short time. Not only was he professional he was
extremely patient with my questions and anxieties. After he found
a buyer for my home at the sale price I wanted, he helped me find
a wonderful Realtor in the state to which I relocated. I would
whole-heartedly recommend Sarge to anyone selling or buying a
home. He was great!"
-Mary Ellen Lives
"The process of selling a home can be time-consuming and
complicated. Thanks to the efforts of Sarge Whalen, our sale was
simple, timely, and efficient. Sarge helped us price our home to
sell, while still protecting our interests. Our property went
under contract the same day it went on the market, and closed
within 30 days! Sarge was extremely professional, consistent with
follow-up, and never left any detail to chance. He professionally
negotiated with the buyers to create a win-win situation for all.
Thanks to Sarge, the sale of our property was smooth and carefree.
"
-Ba & Jennifer Kalita
"I have dealt
with many realtors in the past and have come to expect the typical
sensationalized, urgent sales pitch with every parcel we were
presented. This is not his style. He remained helpful and never
once exaggerated any feature about the properties we examined
(negotiable price, great location, appreciation potential, etc.)
"
-William R. Slansky
"I had to laugh
out loud when I thought of all those other real estate agents we
have worked with over the years. We would tell them the price
range we wanted to look in and they thought the top end was where
we wanted to start looking. Sarge, thanks for listening to us and
not wasting our time showing us properties out of our price range.
It is refreshing to work with someone who puts our needs
first."
-Jane Moore
"Sarge, thanks
to your hard work and personal contact, you saved our sale. We
couldn't have done it without you. Thanks."
-Dave Baggerman
"Sarge, you are
the personification of a real estate professional. You are caring
and interested in service. Thanks for a job well done!"
-Seth Fordham
