Collin and Colleen Whelan are full-time real estate professionals with Compass who combine deep Main Line roots, hands-on construction expertise, and a best-in-class marketing approach to help clients buy and sell with confidence.

They live in Wayne, grew up in Radnor Township, and are raising their daughters in the same community they proudly represent. As a husband and wife team, clients benefit from two dedicated agents working seamlessly together with constant availability and clear communication.

What truly sets Collin and Colleen apart is their background in residential construction, design, and staging. Through their company, Poplar Construction + Design, they have built new homes, renovated numerous properties, and guided clients through improvements that meaningfully increase value. This experience allows them to evaluate potential, advise on smart design decisions, and understand the real cost and return of upgrades in a way few agents can.

Collin serves on both the Radnor Township Design Review Board and the Historic and Architectural Review Board, providing firsthand insight into local zoning, architectural trends, and the evolving character of Main Line neighborhoods. This involvement ensures clients receive guidance grounded in practical knowledge, not guesswork.

With Compass, Collin and Colleen leverage industry-leading technology and the Private Exclusive platform to generate demand before a home ever reaches the MLS. Their tailored marketing strategy includes cinematic videos, drone fly-throughs, professional photography, floor plans, and targeted digital campaigns that consistently resonate with buyers.

Whether representing a luxury listing, advising an investor, helping a family relocate, or guiding a first-time buyer, Collin and Colleen bring unmatched local expertise, construction clarity, and a comprehensive understanding of how homes are designed, built, and sold on the Main Line.
