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.

I had the pleasure of working with Cole to sell our home in St. Louis Park. Cole is an excellent realtor and professional in every way. He is very knowledgeable about the real estate market in the Twin Cities. Cole was very helpful during the entire process and was great at guiding us through the process step by step. He made himself available to help answer any questions, even outside normal business hours. He worked very hard to make sure we got the best deal possible on our home. He went through our home with us and worked with us to stage it to sell well. Cole suggested a pricing strategy that resulted in a quick sale as we had over-asking offers on the first day of showings. He provided frank advice without any pressure and helped navigate the negotiations with patience and professionalism so that we were able to close on time.

I would highly recommend Cole to anyone who is interested in buying or selling a home. It was a great experience throughout the whole process and I highly recommend reaching out to him.

My partner and I had such a great experience working with Cole! Right off the bat he felt like an old friend; personable, trustworthy, humorous, honest, compassionate… with our best interests in mind.

He is also extremely knowledgeable in his field and has honed the skill of communication; being able to talk real-estate and made everything easy-to-understand.

We went into this experience with differing levels of knowledge and Cole was able to easily communicate with of us.

Cole was also very inclusive. He made sure to include us both in all the conversations. All too often women are still overlooked and excluded from big discussions regarding money and business, but Cole made me feel heard the entire time and made sure we were all on the same page.

I went into the process of buying a home pretty hesitantly, but Cole made it approachable and enjoyable.

If you want to drive around town, listen to good tunes, have funny conversations about sitcoms and find your dream home with the help of a trusted, knowledgeable friend… Cole is your guy!

Brittani & Dave

From the beginning, Cole was dedicated to helping us have as smooth a process as possible as first time homebuyers. He helped us fight hard and win in a tough market. We also appreciated his ability and willingness to help us learn throughout the process. He was super responsive and communicative. Cole takes the job seriously but makes it fun along the way - if you are looking for your agent to not just help you buy (or sell!) your home, but also catch all your Office/Modern Family/Parks & Rec/Ted Lasso/00s emo music references, work with Cole!
