The Cole Team is comprised of Brenda, Brooke and Scoop Cole and a team of caring, diligent, technology advanced professionals that are dedicated to earn a client for life! They specialize in residential and commercial real estate, short sales, foreclosures, vacant land, and new construction. Both Brenda and Scoop are certified specialists in short sales as well as foreclosures, relocation, elderly assisted moves including estate sales, new home buyers, builder inventory, and just about any aspect of real estate with both having over 40 years in the real estate business.
Scoop Cole was licensed as a Florida real estate agent in 1978, and was taught the art of real estate from his father Harmon, who opened Cole Realty Group in 1970 in Cape Coral. Scoop’s father was President of the Cape Coral Association of Realtors, & Realtor of the Year in 1975; the 1st father and son team to accomplish both! Brenda sold real estate in Columbus, OH and surrounding areas until 1984 when she moved to Cape Coral.
In 1989, Brenda and Scoop joined forces and franchised with Prudential Real Estate. They bought the building at 1515 Cape Coral Parkway, and operated their business there for the next 16 years. They were the first Prudential real estate affiliate in Southwest Florida, from 1989 through 2011.
When Prudential announced their decision to sell Prudential Real Estate and Relocation Services in 2011, The Coles decided to move on and look for a firm matching their level of professionalism and goals.
Even though they still own the “Prudential” building at 1515 Cape Coral Parkway, they now have a new, more prominent location at RE/MAX Realty Group, with multiple locations in both Cape Coral and Ft. Myers. The Cole Team is located in the heart of the city with the only public parking lot in the rear and downtown street parking in the front, which hosts many events such as art shows, Christmas Tree Lighting Festival and walking distance to the Farmer's Market.
The Coles have earned awards annually since the inception of “The Cole Team”. These include coveted industry awards such as the “Top 100 Nationwide”, “Legend”, and the “Chairman Circle” with Prudential Real Estate affiliates. In 1989, Brenda was awarded “Realtor of the Year” and Scoop, proudly following in his father’s footsteps, was President of the Cape Coral Realtor Association. Scoop was also awarded “Realtor of the Year” in 1992 & 1993.
Scoop is originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan and Brenda hails from Columbus, Ohio. Although their college teams were arch rivals, they now both proudly identify themselves as “Seminole” fans too. (Brenda is still a Buckeye at heart!)
Scoop and Brenda have 3 children, Tara, Greg, and Brooke. Tara owns Delta Family Counseling, where she works with children ages 2- 18 utilizing therapy dogs. Greg is a local attorney and Brooke has joined the family real estate business after working as a top producer for a local tv station. When they are not busy selling real estate, Scoop pursues his hobbies of car racing and golfing, while Brenda enjoys walking the beach, yoga, and boating.
The Cole Team is ready to help with all real estate needs, from building, buying, selling, remodeling, commercial investments and more. They remain true to their motto, “Where your family matters most!” For more information, call 239.542.3332.
