Dusty Cole
Dusty is a Gulf Coast native with deep roots in the local community. Born into a family conducting business on the Gulf Coast since 1959, Dusty has developed an understanding of the area and its inhabitants' needs over the years. With 12 years of experience as the General Manager of two family entertainment centers, Dusty transitioned into real estate through investing. His portfolio includes over 100 successfully flipped properties, alongside a collection of rental properties, ranging from long-term residences to vacation rentals. Realizing he had a true passion for real estate, Dusty made the leap to become a full-time Realtor in 2016. Fueled by his passion, energy, and natural business acumen, he quickly ascended the ranks of Baldwin County's real estate sales. Recognizing the need for support in managing his rapid growth, Dusty enlisted the expertise of his wife, Heather Cole, allowing his business to further explode. Since then, Dusty has personally overseen the sale of over 1,250 properties, establishing himself as a trusted leader in the industry. Today, he and Heather proudly own their own brokerage, RE/MAX on the Coast, while continuing to lead the Dusty Cole Team—an accomplished group of agents backed by a dedicated administrative staff. Together, they remain focused on excellence and delivering an exceptional level of service to every client.
