Successful people often have a defining story that encapsulates the attribute that has driven their success. Meet Cole Block. An avid hockey player all his life, it’s not by accident that his defining story involves his favorite sport.

“As a sophomore in high school, I didn’t make the varsity hockey team. It killed me,” Cole explains. “Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I used it as fuel for me to get better.” Extremely determined, Cole worked. He spent almost every day in the offseason in the gym, honing his skills and studying to improve his hockey smarts. The next year, he not only started on the Varsity team but played well enough to make the All-Conference Team! 

All that hard work and a voracious thirst for knowledge that drives Cole to be a perpetual student of the game propelled him not only into the collegiate level of hockey, but has also been his MO in his professional life.

Hard work is a defining trait in the Block household, and it’s the key reason Cole is such a perfect fit as a member of the Kristi Jo Block Real Estate Team, joining his Father, Chris, and his Mother, Kristi Jo. Cole is a Land Specialist for the team — a team already stacked with decades of combined experience, knowledge and insights in the land sector of the real estate industry.

Cole definitely brings the hard work factor to the team, but he also brings the smarts factor in spades. Before becoming an expert in real estate land sales, first in South Dakota and now with The Kristi Jo Block Real Estate Team, Cole became accomplished in Agriculture heavy equipment sales, helping hundreds of farmers with farm and construction equipment, managing nearly $25 Million in sales. “I enjoy working with farmers, ranchers and people living the rural life,” says Cole. “I have a strong passion for agriculture and hunting, I’ve spent my whole life around it and involved in so many aspects of rural life.”

Land sales is a perfect fit for Cole. An avid hunter and fisherman, he not only is passionate about these pastimes, he is also a self-described land nerd. “I spend hours researching, learning and implementing the finer points of Land Management for our family’s hunting property. “I am obsessed with it,” Cole exclaims. “I love the planning and the physical labor involved working that land and seeing the results of my strategies and hard work.

It’s not surprising Cole’s philosophy of sales – a relationship-based approach — is also the core philosophy that has driven Kristi Jo and Chris to rise up and become the top real estate team in Kandiyohi County, with over 90% of their business referral and repeat client based! “I truly believe that my clients need to trust me to do the right thing for them,” Cole explains. “Whatever research, hard work and insights I can provide for them so they feel confident in their decisions is my mission and focus!”
