SMOOTH SAILIN' WITH
ED WHALEN
A blog covering topics from Real Estate and Personal Finance to Fitness and Nutrition.
Welcome!
These are three major pillars of my life. I have taken deep interest in them over the years and have worked hard to gain an understanding each. This website primarily serves as a blog where I can share what I have learned and hopefully help some people along the way. I am no expert, but whenever I do write a blog post I do a great amount of research into the topic so I can make sure to get things right.
Real Estate
Buying or selling your home can seem like a stressful and complicated endeavor. I’m here to help you through the process and make it as easy as possible, while making sure you get the most out of the deal. It is critical you choose a competent Realtor who has your best interests in mind, and trust me when I say there are a lot of them out there that go 0/2 in those categories. Why should you trust me? Don’t ask me, ask my past clients! Check out my client testimonials via my Google Reviews. If you are considering moving, or know somebody who is, please get in touch with me via the ‘Contact Me’ page! I will also be focusing on writing blog posts about all things real estate, including topics about the home buying/selling process, upkeep, investment properties, etc.
Finance
With financial literacy being left out of formal education, it falls on us to teach ourselves. I think it’s one of those mystified subjects that seems a lot harder than it actually is, and for that reason, many people feel intimidated and never cross the start line. It does not have to be this way. A few basic stratagies and some discipline can be the difference between working into your 70’s or retiring in your 40’s. Now I should note, I am no financial expert. I do not offer financial services. I have no financial degrees or professional financial experience. What I do have, however, is a small mountain of personal finance books I’ve read, thousands of hours reading through sites like Investopedia or listening to financial podcasts, and 11+ years of investing / financial tracking. Check out the blog to learn more.
Fitness & Nutrition
Your health is arguably the most important factor in life. It’s something that cannot be ignored without long-term consequences. Fitness and nutrition is the cornerstone of living a healthy life. What I offer in regards to fitness and nutrition comes mostly in the form of blog posts explaining various workout styles, supplements, recovery methods, diet advice, and so on. I have been training since my college years and have learned a great amount about all of the above. Along the way I have researched a myriad of topics, creating my own convoluted documentation in the form of a long messy word doc. It is my goal to summarize these topics and put them into easily understood articles for you to read, comprehend, and implement into your lifestyle.
