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.

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

Kjirsten & Max

Cole should be everybody’s go-to guy. All throughout the stressful process of finding our first home, Cole was there to guide us. Whether it was getting us set up with our mortgage broker, scheduling inspections or giving personal insight; Cole handled all our requests quickly and professionally.

As a young couple we were glad to have an agent who possessed excellent communication skills. Cole’s use of technology made our experience effortless as he set up appointments, e-documents, and Zoom calls.

When we made the decision to connect with Cole, everything fell into place. Cole is knowledgeable, hard working, and a joy to be around. We are extremely lucky to have found him, and are blessed to be in a home that we love! If you end up with Cole in your stocking this holiday season… consider yourself lucky!

Claire & Joe

Cole was hands down the perfect fit as a realtor for our needs when searching for our first home. As first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions, concerns, and fears during the process. What we loved about Cole is that he made the process very relaxed but at the same time remained organized and timely. We never felt pressured to make an offer unless we wanted to. He met us where we were at on our house buying journey which we greatly appreciated. Cole is friendly, approachable, adaptable, and very thorough in explaining things. You’ll be in good hands if you decide to work with him as your realtor. We would 10/10 recommend him to anyone searching for a home!

Yana & Ian

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!
Cassie & Vic

He was approachable, off-the-charts knowledgeable in both the local market and the current real estate climate, and super chill.

Cassie & Vic

Cole was approachable, off-the-charts knowledgeable in both the local market and the current real estate climate, and super chill. He helped us sell and buy properties in early 2023 and it was the most stress-free real estate experience either of us have ever had. Cole understood exactly what we were looking for and went out of his way to make sure the best options out there were available to us and really went to bat for us in the negotiating process. If this review hasn't swayed you yet; he's also a master of the dad joke and his ability to weave Seinfeld references into daily conversation is second to none. If you need to buy or sell, Cole is your guy.
