Kristen was the best sellers realtor we ever had. She had the knowledge and expertise to make our home the best it has ever been. It paid off. Other houses in our cul de sac took 3-5 months to sell and our house took about a month. She had all the contacts to fix our house after the inspection at very reasonable rates. She was calm and positive in addition to being hands on from cleaning to shoveling our house to make it the best property it could be. We highly recommend Kristen Issel as a broker.

Kristen is a realtor who knows how to handle all contracts, including the messy ones. Kristen helped our family sell our home over the course of 18 long months. She is an expert at navigating the challenges that can occur when contracts do not go as planned. She was able to consistently pivot quickly and efficiently to help our changing situation. She worked TIRELESSLY to ensure we were protected when our home was under contract and was able to negotiate a much quicker close date. (As an added bonus, she moonlights as a therapist who helped us process our past home 'trauma') Kristen is proficient in selling luxury homes while still being fully capable of getting in the 'dirt' to make sure her clients get the best contract terms.

We’ve purchased and sold many properties in the past and have dealt with many different agents. Kristen Issel is the best agent we’ve ever had.She was our agent for buying our now dream home and for selling a home we loved so dearly. She gave us sound advice, kept us confident during a not so easy sellers market, and went to bat for us on both transactions. She never made us feel like it was just a transaction for her, she was in it with us till the very end and felt/dealt with all the emotions that come along with buying and selling homes along side of us. She has become a very good friend to our family after this experience, and we are forever grateful for her!Kristen is one of a kind. She truly goes above and beyond.

Kristen was excellent! Incredibly attentive and offered guidance at every step of the way. Her expertise in our community is exceptional and she could "read" the buyers and the market so well. She guided us in setup, her photos were amazing, and she was incredibly patient with us. Highly recommended!!!

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Kristen made the process of selling our home actually enjoyable - she is simply the BEST!! Immediately available, extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and lovely. Flawless work! We cannot recommend Kristen enough!!

Huge shoutout to our amazing realtor, Kristen! I can't thank her enough for how easy she made selling our home. From staging our house beautifully to hosting open houses that attracted multiple offers over asking, her constant attention to selling our home was ultimately what got it sold in the timeframe needed to move long distance. She is an expert in what she does and she was always "on it" when it came to all the details of the home selling process from start to finish. She made recommendations and arrangements for necessary repairs which took so much stress off my shoulders, allowing me to focus on the move. Thanks to her, the transition with the buyers was smooth as butter! I truly appreciate all the ways she made it that way. I highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking to buy or sell in Backcountry or anywhere else.

Whether it was navigating the fast-moving market, responding to questions at any hour, or advocating fiercely on our behalf, Kristen never let up. She brings a rare combination of sharp market insight, tireless dedication, and genuine care for her clients.Kristen is, without a doubt, the best of the best. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your home search like it’s her own, look no further. We are beyond grateful for everything she’s done for us

Kristen Issel is a five-star agent in every sense. From the moment we listed our home, she was incredibly responsive—addressing every question and concern with warmth, confidence, and clarity that immediately put us at ease. From before we even signed with her, she provided incredibly helpful advice and action that set us up for success once we did list our home. Her attention to detail was exceptional, helping us fine-tune our home through thoughtful staging and connecting us with trusted resources to handle every last item. If she didn’t have an answer, she got on the phone immediately and got one—never once leaving us waiting or unsure. In a fast-changing market, Kristen fully understood the neighborhood and sold our home when others still sit on the market. We couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Kristen was outstanding! We were nervous about living in Chicago and searching for homes in Colorado. Kristen made the process easy, seamless and dare I say...fun? She was present, available, responsive and supportive. I'd HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her.

Kristen was an amazing buyer's agent. She was available and at the ready whenever I called. She always had local knowledge about the house and it's surroundings. If she didn't know the answer to a question, like "what is the zoning across the street?" she would find the answer and called me right back. We teamed up well with what I was looking for and what she would propose. She didn't mind at all when I wanted to go back and back again to a property. I would definitely recommend Kristen!

My husband and I would highly recommend Kristen! Her guidance and knowledge helped us navigate this difficult market. She went above and beyond touring homes for us virtually when we weren’t available to do so in person, answering phone calls whenever we called and made this process seem seamless. Our first day of looking at homes in person, we put an offer in and were under contract in 24hrs. She helped negotiate and advocate for us with the sellers to help get items fixed in house and get things down quickly and fairly. We closed within two weeks of putting in our offer and already have $10,000 in equity.
