Derek Cole

Derek Cole grew up in the real estate business. As the son of two agents, one of whom has over 30 years in the industry, Derek started working with his parents and learning the ropes at an early age. Since 2014, he's been carving out a reputation for himself as a top-producing agent and is highly-regarded for his integrity and ethics. Derek has built his real estate business on referrals and repeat clientele. He is as well-liked by his colleagues as he is by his clients -- an asset that plays well for buyers and sellers alike. He's consistently able to secure contracts for buyers during multiple-offer scenarios or tricky negotiations. His hyper-targeted marketing techniques attract the right buyers, so his sellers reach their sales goals in record times. Long before becoming an agent, Derek had been honing a skill set that would later serve his real estate clients. After earning a B.A. in History and an M.S. in Sports Business, he founded several companies, including a social media marketing and design firm. He also worked for the United Way as Cam Newton's NFL Player Promoter, and the Rose Bowl during its renovation. As a result, Derek can deliver exceptional marketing, social media, and video tools to his clients. The real estate business can be volatile with shifting markets, new gimmicks, and ever-changing technology. Because of this, Derek stays focused on the future. He's committed to providing his clients with the best service and the most value. Much of real estate happens behind the scenes, and he uses systems, technology, and data to give his clients the highest chances of success. When you work with Derek, he puts a lifetime of expertise to work for you. Derek lives in the East Bay and spends off-the-clock time with his family and their Goldendoodle, Nana.
