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.

Amanda & Pete

We can't recommend Cole enough! This was our first home buying experience, and he did everything possible to make sure that we felt confident and prepared. In our first meeting, Cole made sure to get a sense of who we were and what we were looking for (even though we didn't have a full sense of what we wanted in our first meeting). As we looked at houses, Cole helped educate us on the lay of the land, what types of projects different houses would entail, and how to evaluate the work that had already been put into a house. Throughout the entire process, Cole made it clear that he was genuinely interested in us finding a house we wanted and understanding what we were getting into.

Buying a home can be stressful, but it can also be a lot of fun. We are thankful that Cole could balance both parts as we were looking for our first home. Thanks again, Cole!

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.

Cole is a knowledgeable and attentive buyer's and seller's agent. He practices excellence in everything he does. I especially appreciated his tour of highs and lows in my price range for a good snapshot of the recent market as a buyer's agent. As a seller's agent he goes above and beyond--what really impressed me is how he arranged a requested repair and followed up again and again with the contractor to make sure it was done on time. Do not hesitate to work with Cole as a first-time homeowner or someone who has bought or sold before. He is a delightful person to get to know and is great at what he does.

Brian & Kelsey

We came to Cole with a lot of questions about how to start the home-buying process in such a hot market. He was more than ready with answers to everything, essential local insights, and a method that worked so well that we closed on a home in just a few weeks. He's professional, proactive, and proof that a great realtor makes all the difference. Thanks, Cole!
