Jim Cole

I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington and graduated from Whitworth College, a small, private college in Spokane. There, for the next four years, I taught in Washington, earned my Master’s Degree, then moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. That is where I first experienced the pleasure of sunshine!! I was hired as one of the original 13 faculty members who started Dublin High School in 1969.

After teaching and coaching in Dublin for nine years, I felt the need for greater challenges. So, I got my real estate license in 1974. I spent 17 years selling real estate for Coldwell Banker in the San Ramon office. That office was the smallest in the company, but had the highest deal per agent ration in the entire company. And I am proud to say that I helped contribute to that success. With my teaching background, I was often asked to speak to other offices about different real estate topics. I even presented a topic on “How to Present Offers” to the entire sales force at a monthly meeting. After “sprinting” hard for those 17 years, I needed a break. Thus, I became a Mortgage Broker in 1992. And, again, my volume has been consistently in the top tier of agents, averaging over $35 million for each of the last 4 years.

During my 30 years in real estate, I’ve seen it all. I truly enjoy applying my hard-earned knowledge to the completion of a wide range of loans, from the “slam-dunk” type to those “square peg in a round hole” problems. Bring me your loan – You won’t be disappointed.

“My goal is to conduct my business in such a manner that your friends will thank you for referring them to me.”

Sincerely,
Jim Cole
