Stephen Cole - Property Consultant Ray White, Broome 
                             Kimberley Economic Forum - Master of Ceremonies 


Stephen Cole, a proud Broome local since 2013, brings energy, integrity, and results to everything he does. Originally from Perth, Stephen made the move north with his wife Holly and their two daughters to embrace the outdoor lifestyle of the Kimberley. As a multi-award-winning real estate agent and recipient of the Rising Star Award 2022, he’s known for his down-to-earth approach, strong values, and unmatched service.
Stephen leads a professional, high-performing team and has built a strong reputation in Broome’s property market for achieving standout results. With his personable style and natural charisma, we’re thrilled to have Stephen as the Master of Ceremonies for the 2025 Kimberley Economic Forum.
