Cole Billings
FOUNDER & BROKER | VARSITY REAL ESTATE
I'm Cole and I’m a 2025 Kendall Catwalk Model! Help me meet my $2,500 pledge amount in support of Furnish Hope by purchasing an event ticket to see me on the runway OR by donating below.
Yes… It's time to strut my stuff! When I was invited to participate in Catwalk for a Cause, I had two immediate reactions. Firstly, mild panic at the thought of pretending to be a fashion model. Secondly, a wholehearted yes—because Furnish Hope is a mission I care deeply about and have proudly supported since day one.
By day, I’m the co-founder of Varsity Real Estate, a boutique, locally owned brokerage here in Bend. Real estate, to me, is about more than houses—it’s about people, stories, and the incredibly meaningful transitions we walk alongside our clients through in life. Helping others find not only their house, but their community to call home is not just my profession, it’s my passion.
I’ve called Bend home for over 15 years, and I love everything this community stands for—active living, authentic connections, entrepreneurship, and showing up for each other.
Outside of work, you can usually find me on the court or course. As a former college athlete, I believe that our greatest potential is realized within the structure of a team. I’m a lifelong tennis player, but over the past few years, golf has become a full-blown (healthy-ish?) obsession. The sport has pushed me in new ways and introduced me to some incredible friendships and memorable travel experiences.
When I'm not chasing a ball, I'm chasing new adventures with my three awesome kids, traveling, entertaining, and experimenting in the kitchen—preferably alongside friends and family.
Hope, to me, is more than a feeling. It’s a choice we make daily to believe in something greater—for ourselves and for others. And home is more than four walls. It’s where we feel safe, seen, and like we truly belong.
That’s why I’m raising $2,500 to support the incredible work of Furnish Hope—bringing dignity, comfort, and home to families right here in our community who need it most.
Thanks for cheering me on and supporting this beautiful cause. Let’s walk this runway—together.
