Kristan Cole Team marks 30 years of service

WASILLA — The Kristan Cole Team will celebrate its 30-year anniversary at the Lake Lucille Best Western from 6 to 10 p.m., Jan. 25.

Cole and her team have served more than 4,231 families during the last 30 years and are celebrating with food, drinks, music, awards, prizes and freebies, all leading up to a big fireworks display provided by Gorilla Fireworks.

Growth has been the key to Cole’s 30 years of real estate success, a track record of achievement that culminated in Cole’s being selected as vice president of Mega Agent Expansion for Keller Williams Realty. This new initiative allows Cole to share her proven growth strategies with the elite of the elite among Keller Williams agent teams, providing everything from the initiative’s overall vision to the strategies and tactics agents will use to grow.

While with RE/MAX, Cole consistently ranked among the top 100 agents globally, including a top-5 ranking in the commercial division. This success only increased once she moved to Keller Williams Realty, where her team consistently ranked in the top 50 in KW and top 250 among all teams, as ranked by The Wall Street Journal and REAL Trends. This year, for example, her team is on track to close more than $50 million in volume with almost 250 transactions. Cole practices what she preaches when it comes to expansion, as her team has recently expanded to a second site in its native Alaska and a third site in Arizona.

Along with this growth, Cole has demonstrated a high level of leadership. From 2011 until taking her new role, Cole served as regional director for Keller Williams Realty’s Southwest Region, a segment of the company representing more than 25 offices and thousands of agents. She also owns one of these offices, which has more than 300 agents and three satellite locations. Her other leadership opportunities have included serving as president of Alaska’s branch of the Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) Network, director of Keller Williams Realty’s Commercial Leadership Council and talent search director for Keller Williams Realty’s corporate headquarters.

To ensure that every transaction her team does benefits others, Cole donates a portion of each commission to a charity of her clients’ choosing in their name. Cole is also a huge supporter of KW Cares, the in-house charitable organization of Keller Williams Realty.
