A bit about me

We all have so many aspects of ourselves spread across a wide array of passions and interests. Real estate surprises me every day with how much of myself I get to pour into it. On any given day I get to be an advisor, an ear to listen, a data analyst, a marketer, a negotiator, and a friend.

I’m fortunate to be able to draw from a diverse background of experiences to serve my clients. It would be a privilege to walk this journey with you!

Here before, here after. Caretakers for a time.

We’re usually not the first owners of our homes. Often these houses of ours are fifty, seventy, or even a hundred years old. I sometimes get a shiver thinking of all the lives lived in these places. Whether you’re the second or the seventh owner, you pick up the mantle where the last person left off. Fill the rooms with your memories and joy, and when it’s time, pass it on to the next steward.

I feel so grateful to be able to walk through these special transitions with my clients.

Thom & Kaitlyn

Cole was an incredible partner in buying our first house. We started with an introductory call where he walked us through the process and answered every simple (and probably stupid) question to make us feel 100% confident. Then in the house-hunting process he was incredibly knowledgeable, reliable, and available. His experience with DIY renovation was super helpful in us seeing past the current state of a house and finding real value. And finally once we found our new home, he stayed close through the entire closing process, helping with inspections, financing, and more. We couldn’t imagine buying a house with anyone else and are constantly recommending him to friends.

Teresa & Derek

Cole is the full package when it comes to realtors. He was attentive, informative, calm and collected while helping us navigate the overwhelming real estate climate. Cole truly advocated for our needs in both the buying and selling processes.

When we had big picture concerns during our home search, he helped us find answers and gave us clarity. When it came time to sell our home, we felt so taken care of by Cole and his process. He built a very impressive strategy to get our house on the market and find the right future owners.

Cole is everything you could ask for in a realtor. Not only did he help us find the perfect home for us and sell our previous home, he helped us feel confident throughout the process.

Isabel & Toby

Cole made our home buying experience so easy. He was friendly, super helpful in answering any (and all!) of my questions, and extremely knowledgeable. He helped us feel confident in our decisions while also making sure I didn't get tunnel vision when I went too ham on a house! I recommend Cole for anyone looking for a trustworthy, easy to reach, approachable professional who's ready to jump in and help you find the right home for you.

Sam & Alex

My husband and I worked with Cole as first-time home buyers in spring of 2023. Cole was so wonderful to work with. He explained everything to us so thoroughly, and answered our million questions. We found the house of our dreams in St. Paul, and Cole handled everything perfectly - so we got the first offer we put in! I know that doesn’t happen every time, but I know we got the house partly because of his realty skills. He was friendly and approachable, and really knows his stuff. Pick Cole! You will be glad you did.
