Seller consultation
An in-depth meeting focused on educating you about the selling process and determining the strategy best suited to sell your home.
1
Passing the torch
It can be tempting to cut corners when selling – put a sign in your yard, snap some photos, and hope your home will sell. But I believe anything worth doing is worth doing right. I know what it takes to meticulously prepare your home for the market and put you in a position to maximize your investment. It’s not just about selling, but selling right.
What’s your home worth?
For most people their homes are their largest asset. I take meticulous care when someone asks me to help them find a new steward for their home.
The steps
Prepare your home
It takes proper planning and sometimes a little elbow grease to get the most out of your investment when you sell. My team and I will walk you through our recommendations that make the most sense in your situation.

List and market

Seller FAQ
Is now a good time to sell?
We have a very cyclical market in the Twin Cities. Year over year we see times of year where homes sell quickly and times of year where they may take a bit more time. At the end of the day the right time isn't as much about the market as it is about your life, but if we can optimize for both we certainly will.
What’s my home worth?
The only way to have an accurate idea of your home's value is to have a local, qualified professional do an analysis for you. Be careful with online estimators. Occasionally they are close, but often they are way off. I'd be happy to evaluate your home for you, obligation free.
What do I need to do to prepare my home?
Every home benefits from some level of preparation. Sometimes it's little tweaks and other times it's a bit more that will net you a large return. My team and I will work with you to determine what makes sense in your case to net you the most for your home.
Should I renovate “XYZ” before I sell?
Everyone's favorite answer: "maybe". It's going to depend on a lot of different factors, but I will walk you through the numbers to understand what it looks like if you do the project and if you don't.
I’m not ready to sell yet, but I’d like to start preparing – can I reach out?
Of course! Making a transition like this takes timing, planning, and a sound strategy. I'd love to sit down and figure out what makes the most sense for your situation. Let's talk!
I own a home, how do I buy & sell at the same time?
There are a number of ways to make this transition. Determining the strategy that makes sense for you is dependent on your situation, and picking the wrong strategy can have big consequences. Let's sit down and chat through it together.

What my clients say

Cole would always go above and beyond.
Greg & Aimee
We couldn’t have been happier with our experience with Cole. He’s personable and we felt extremely comfortable with him from the get-go. We were new to the Twin Cities and unfamiliar with neighborhoods and house styles in the area. Cole introduced us to several neighborhoods and showed us a wide variety of houses in our broad price range. Along the way, he talked us through the differences in neighborhoods and helped us understand the advantages and disadvantages of each location so that we’d feel comfortable with our decision when we were ready to make an offer.Cole would always go above and beyond. On several occasions, he rushed over to a house to do a video walkthrough for us when we were unable to get to the Cities for a house we were particularly interested in. When we asked for advice on several items once we purchased our house, he stepped up again.
He even recommended a flooring company that we ended up going with when we struggled to find one on our own. 5 stars, two thumbs up, and a gold star to Cole for all he did for us in our house search!

It was a great experience throughout the whole process and I highly recommend reaching out to him.

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.

His enthusiasm for this business is encouraging and comforting.
Tim
Cole is an amazing advocate for his clients. It's not just that he is personable in a way that immediately puts you at ease during what can at times be a stressful process--his enthusiasm for this business is encouraging and comforting--but he is the most knowledgeable and communicative realtor I have worked with, and I've worked with more than a few as a buyer, seller and landlord. Patient, optimistic, realistic, and he really seeks to understand what you need. He follows up and follows through, even after closing. I cannot recommend him enough.Miranda
Cole is completely committed to his clients and truly goes above and beyond to get the job done.
Miranda
Cole was so great throughout the whole process. All I knew going into our first meeting was that I was ready to be a homeowner. I was referred to Cole but really didn’t know much about the process or what kind of house I wanted. He educated me about what to expect, gave excellent advice and asked the right questions to help me narrow down what was important to me in a house and location. I was nervous I’d become overwhelmed by everything, but it all went so smoothly and I’m sure that’s because of him. Cole is completely committed to his clients and truly goes above and beyond to get the job done. He wrote my offer letter from the airport while on vacation! Couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor.Request an evaluation
