Isabelle Cole

Isabelle brings deep knowledge of Berkeley, Oakland, Orinda and surrounding communities to her role as a realtor.  She is an Orinda native, Cal graduate, and happy Berkeley homeowner.

She began her career in the public relations and communications business, working first in New York, and then for the San Francisco Symphony, where she helped introduce conductor Michael Tilson Thomas to the Bay Area.  She spent the next decade raising two daughters in Palo Alto, where she also began her real estate career.  The highly competitive Silicon Valley market was an invaluable real estate training ground, giving her hands-on negotiating experience in many high-end sales.

Success in real estate requires dedication, drive and impeccable attention to detail. Isabelle works closely with a top-notch team of contractors and specialists well-equipped to successfully prepare a home for sale. Her extensive knowledge of home renovation and design allows her to help clients make smart choices in presenting their property to the market. It is also helpful to buyers as they think about possible renovations or updates to a home they are considering for purchase.

Isabelle delivers the highest level of professional service, helping clients navigate smoothly through each step of the process.  Her recommendations are data-driven, based on careful research and analysis.  Perhaps most important, she brings a calm voice to the process of buying or selling a home. Through honest information and a local’s understanding of the East Bay’s dynamic real estate market, she helps clients understand their options, and how she can help them reach their goals. Buying or selling a home is often one of our most important financial and emotional decisions.  Isabelle’s promise is to represent her clients with integrity, a warm and collaborative style, and a singular commitment to put their needs above all else.
