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.

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.

So helpful and such a smooth process.Cole was able to make this process extremely effective and as easy as it can be. His knowledge and way he explained the process was extremely helpful. He also was willing to re-explain things to me as many times as I needed it, which was a lot.
His knowledge of the process, negotiating made buying and selling work. It’s such a huge process and his knowledge and care was evident. There were many times we freaked out and he kept us grounded and explained the reality and the nuances of situation in a way that helped.

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.
Cindy & Garrett
Cole went above and beyond what we thought an agent would do.
Cindy & Garrett
My husband Garrett and I hired Cole Hooey to help us sell my mother's lifelong home in Richfield based on a flyer that came in the mail, and we consider it our good fortune that we contacted him! Cole went above and beyond what we thought an agent would do by scheduling and coordinating everything that had to be done to the house to get it ready for sale. He is an upstanding young man who is knowledgeable and very personable and kind. This really made a big difference since this was a very emotional process for us. We highly recommend Cole Hooey as a realtor!Matt & Alex
Cole was amazing to work with!
Matt & Alex
Cole was amazing to work with! He was available for any and all of my first-time home-buyer questions even there to answer questions that I had about the financing of my house loan for a second opinion. I would recommend Cole to anyone looking to buy a house. He did all of the planning and made the whole process easy for me and also super enjoyable.Request an evaluation
