Biography :
Dawn Cole is a Nashville-based real estate agent with Benchmark Realty, known for her thoughtful, relationship first approach to helping clients navigate one of life’s biggest decisions.
A lifelong Tennessean, Dawn has called Nashville home for nearly 20 years. She’s had a front row seat to the city’s remarkable growth. From the transformation of East Nashville (where she lives) to the evolution of neighborhoods, home values, and the broader market. That deep local knowledge allows her to offer insight that goes beyond the numbers, helping clients feel informed and confident every step of the way.
Before real estate, Dawn built a career in sales as both a small business owner and with a Fortune 500 company. What she’s always loved most isn’t the transaction, it’s the people. She takes the time to truly listen, understand her clients’ goals, and help them find the path that feels right for them, whether that means moving forward now or simply gathering information for the future.
Dawn is known for creating a low-pressure, open environment where clients can ask questions, talk through concerns, and explore their options honestly. She believes the best outcomes come from trust, communication, and a genuine connection, not from pushy tactics or constant follow-ups. Her goal is simple: to be a steady, knowledgeable resource you can turn to when you need guidance.
Outside of real estate, you’ll likely find Dawn on the tennis court, exploring Tennessee’s hiking trails, or relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine. She’s a proud aunt and great-aunt to a large, close-knit family and a devoted pet mom to two rescue cats with hopes of adding a new pup to the mix soon.
Whether you’re actively considering a move or just beginning to think about your options, Dawn is always happy to connect, answer questions, and offer insight, no pressure, just a conversation.
