Irene Poole

REALTOR®, ABR®, RENE


Creating real estate solutions for buyers and sellers, Irene draws on nearly three decades of experience buying, renovating, and selling homes in Addison County, and has a deep understanding of the local market. Since joining Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman in the spring of 2022, Irene has combined hands-on knowledge with thoughtful guidance to help clients navigate the home buying and selling process with confidence.

Irene’s professional background and life experience are diverse -- ranging from massage therapist to assistant judge, and nonprofit director to family mediator -- and each role has strengthened the skills that matter most in real estate: careful listening, clear communication, and effective negotiation. She holds the Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR®) designation and the Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE) certification, reflecting her commitment to professionalism and client advocacy.

Irene works closely with buyers seeking everything from first homes to retirement properties, and advises sellers on strategic preparation, pricing, and negotiation to achieve strong results. Through decades of hands-on experience, she has developed a reliable network of local contractors, home inspectors, and service professionals, an added resource that helps clients move efficiently from planning to closing, and beyond.

When not working, Irene enjoys the great outdoors from her home in Ripton – hiking, cycling, snowshoeing and more. She volunteers as an EMT for Ripton Fire and Rescue and serves as a Justice of the Peace.

Irene was phenomenal! As first time home buyers in the current market the prospect of buying a house was terrifying and very stressful. Irene walked us through each step and advocated for us. We can't recommend her highly enough and hope to work with her again for our next home purchase!
- Sarit Adina Katzew
In over 35 years of participating actively in real estate actions Irene Poole has been one of the (if not THE) best agents we have ever used. She listened to our needs and stayed true to our goals while sticking to her motto-Creative Real Estate Solutions-to prepare our unique property. We would not hesitate to recommend Irene.
