Testimonials

When we met Nate Cole we were not just taken by his charisma and vast knowledge of mid-century modern architecture but by his professionalism and understanding of the market for such a unique home. Throughout the process his steadfast integrity and loyalty kept us grounded and faithful. The sale of our home was a very complicated and delicate situation involving a first right of refusal with close friends. His ability to play hardball when needed as well as his compassion and understanding of what we were going through was incredible. He was able to balance delicate legal situations with ease. He knows the market, he knows architecture, and he knows people.

Nate Cole and his team have a clear and deeply heartfelt understanding and appreciation of mid-century architecture and design. This was a critical consideration for us when we listed our Cliff May Rancho Estates home that we had lovingly restored. Nate was not only a consummate professional, but just an overall awesome human being and a pleasure to deal with at every step along the way. We could not have asked for a better agent, a smoother transaction or a better sale price!

He and his team simply crushed it and we are forever grateful.
