Real estate is more than a series of transactions. It is walking side by side with someone while they move through the steps and emotions of owning their own little piece of the world.

Did you know that in Colorado, transplants now outnumber natives? Well allow me to introduce myself, I am Kris, a true Colorado native—born and raised in Colorado Springs, proud graduate of the University of Colorado and adventurer of all the wonderful things this state has to offer. After college, life brought about the opportunity to travel which resulted in four different moves, between three states, in three years. (During this time, I also got married and had my first kid because, why not do all the stressful things at once, right?).
It was this repeated moving process that led to my appreciation and interest in the world of real estate. I was fortunate to work with agents throughout the country who helped me through many of the stressful situations I now coach my clients through. As someone with a sales background, working with all walks of people was something that came naturally for me, but the opportunity to walk the path with my clients while they go through the very emotional and, at times, stressful process of buying or selling a home was something that truly excited me. The thought that, if I did it right, I would be able to be the lighthouse in the storm, the way my former agents were for me, meant so much and is my purpose in each transaction I do with my clients.
I bring a passion for working with people to uncover their vision and make it a reality. In the real estate world, this may mean finding the perfect house, neighborhood or simply a trustworthy agent who has your best interest in mind. Bringing my background in hospitality to the forefront of my real estate business, I take a consultative approach to working with my clients and provide a service-based experience with clear communication, responsiveness and insight rooted in data and market knowledge. Clients seek me out because I am thorough, reliable, and a true advocate for my clients.
Whether you are looking to sell your home or find one in which to start discovering Colorado on your own, I would love to work with you to make your goals a reality.

Kris is everything you want in a realtor. She took time to understand our needs, was patient with us when we needed education, and battled for us, when we needed help. She was the absolute best, and I cannot recommend her enough!

Happy December! This month brings the "official" start of Winter so make sure your home is prepped for the season. ❄
Next up in our series of North Colorado/ Denver Metro town profiles…ERIE!
This former coal-mining town is conveniently located near Boulder and is just West of I-25, offering easy access to Denver or Northern Colorado. Erie has its feet in two worlds, part Boulder County and part Weld County. That makes it attractive to energy producers, environmentalists, agribusiness and, of course, home builders. Erie has repeatedly been ranked one of the best places to live in the country among small communities, by Money Magazine and one of the safest cities in Colorado, according to Safewise.com. Erie continues to grow with new retail, industrial and residential projects abounding.
As a former Erie resident, I'd love to share more about this cute little town with you. Feel free to reach out if you have questions or need a recommendation for some fun spots to visit!

Attention: Friends/Family/Clients/Any and Everyone who purchased a property in the peak of Colorado's crazy market earlier this year…don't freak out about the perceived value of your house.
If you bought in the last 18-24 months you probably were one of many competing offers, you had to offer over asking price, and you may have felt you had to compromise on some contingencies. It was not a fun time to be a buyer, but the win was that you got in your house! And now, you are seeing prices drop, homes sit on the market longer and many markets flipping to a full blown Buyer's market; and you're thinking "Did I get a bad deal?" The short answer is NO, you didn't!
If you look at this chart, you will see that essentially, a home purchased at a higher price but with a lower interest rate works out better for the owner across the board. So yes, you may have paid more for your home than it would go for today, but the interest rate you secured is GOLD nowadays and will continue to benefit you for the length of your investment in the property.
Moral of the Story: Enjoy the home you fought so hard to get and don't worry about perceived value too much unless you plan to sell anytime soon. And if you do plan to sell, give me call and we can take a deep dive into the market conditions and value of your home.

Sending massive amounts of gratitude to all of the veterans out. Thank you for everything you do. ❤️
JUST LISTED in Lafayette!
🏡🏡🏡
This beautiful Townhome lives like a single-family home with a low HOA and a nice, low-maintenance yard. Sit on your private deck and take in the beautiful mountain views above the historic Beauprez barn. Take the gravel path down the block and play at the Indian Peaks Public Golf Course. Three miles to Old Town Lafayette or Louisville. Amazing new French Bakery Jeannot's just down the street along with the YMCA with year-round pool, Atlas Purveyors and ultra-hip brewery, Westbound and Down. This is the biggest and best floor plan of the townhomes. Two living areas and three bedrooms upstairs. Add a fourth bedroom or home office and bathroom in the lower level. Truly low maintenance easy living. Spend your holidays here, quick closing possible! Lafayette was recently ranked by Money Magazine as the 31st best place to live in the country. Come see why!
Holy cow, we did it! After 40 weeks of training, I am so proud to say that Ryan and I completed the Marine Corps Marathon. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth every bit of the struggle. The course was beautiful and full of powerful moments that kept pushing me. This included things like Marines at every water station encouraging and high-fiving runners, signs and cheers of support from random strangers who lined the streets, and of course, beautiful memorials for those service men and women who have passed in combat. This weekend and overall experience was definitely a Bucket List experience.
🏅
I have to give a huge thank you, to @semperfiandamericasfund who made this whole thing possible for us. For those that don’t know, Ryan is a Marine Corps Veteran and is actively involved with this wonderful organization whose purpose is to care for our nation’s critically wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families. They have spent over $290,000,000 to help 29,000 service members and continue to be the largest charity sponsor of the Marine Corps Marathon. This year they had over 600 runners/wheeler/handbikers race and Ryan and I were honored to have been part of that group.
🇺🇸
I would be lying if I said I didn’t cry (multiple times) this weekend, but am happy to say that each time was due to a very positive emotion or experience. Being only 5 days out from the marathon I can’t say with certainty that’ll be doing it again next year, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it ends up that way. If you are looking for a 2023 goal and think a marathon might be it, I can’t recommend this marathon or this organization highly enough. Feel free to reach out if you have questions about the experience or process and who knows, maybe we’ll end up running it together next year!
Til then…✅ MISSION ACCOMPLISHED ✅

🎃HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🎃
Wishing you all a fun, and safe holiday full of spooky good times! 👻
Friends, yes interest rates are on the rise but yes, it is also I great time to be a buyer. Why? Because prices are dropping and we are actually seeing more inventory on the market than we have historically seen this time of year, which means more options for you.
If “high” interest rates have you scared to make the jump keep in mind these two things. 1) If interest rates drop after you purchase something, you can refinance (and many lenders are providing options that include no fees to refinance if that happens). 2. If interest rates don’t drop, and continue to rise, you’ll be kicking yourself for not purchasing when they were lower.
Moral of the story: if you have been contemplating a purchase, don’t wait if interest rates are the only thing holding you back.
It’s Halloween Week so in honor of that I figure I’d get in the spooky spirit and share some real state fears. 👻
Realtor friends, what did I miss? Tell me what you’re afraid of below.
Halloween is a little more than a week away. 👻💀🎃 Have you accomplished all of the spooky season activities? What is your favorite Halloween tradition? Let me know!
I have said it before and I'll say it again, owning real estate is like having a built in savings plan. It is an appreciating asset that you can utilize to achieve multiple goals over time. If you have questions about how to make that happen, call me and I can help!
Showed the most beautiful house in Loveland today. Gorgeous kitchen, huge entertainers basement with theater room, and of course, a great office space giving me all of the #officeinspo 🥰 My buyers are going to focus their efforts on a different location but I’d love to go back to this beauty before it’s off the market so if you’re looking to buy and you haven’t found the one yet, let me know. This might be it! 😃
It's time to invest in yourself and your future. Call me to talk about taking the next steps! 📱🙋♀️
