Background
Chris is a proud husband and father of three daughters. His wife Francene is from Tulsa, Oklahoma, but they met in Dallas when they were competing in tri-athalons, and were married in 1991.
Chris has successfully completed both the Texas Water Safari (260 mile canoe race) and the Elk Mountain Grand Traverse (40+ mile ski race from Crested Butte to Aspen that starts at midnight).
Chris has learned the value of preparation, endurance and execution in all that he does. Chris graduated from the Ohio State University with a Marketing degree, and lived in Dallas for 25 years before moving to Crested Butte full-time.
Chris has had a successful career in sales and sales management in numerous technology companies as well as a business owner in the real estate and advertising industries. Chris has negotiated thousands of complex transactions in his career, and will work hard to exceed your expectations.
My wife Francene and have been full-time residents here for over 13 years - but we lived in Texas for 25 years and were Crested Butte Second Homeowners for 10 years prior to that. My brother & sister-in-law Rick & Ingrid, and Francene's brother Ed & sister-in-law Carrie are Crested Butte Second Homeowners.
I appreciate the tremendous value of the Crested Butte Second Homeowners who are a big part of the engine of the local economy, and who's benevolence has made big impacts in the community. A few examples:
- The Adaptive Sports Center building
- The Center for the Arts building - "92% of funding came from Crested Butte Second Homeowners" - Jillian Liebl - Executive Director
- The Community Foundation of the Gunnison Valley
Crested Butte is a great Ski Resort Town that would not be what it is today - if not for the Second Homeowner community.
I have built my real estate business around understanding and providing superior service to the Crested Butte Second Homeowners.
I work with couples that are committed to impacting their families through lifestyle choices. I help them understand their goals, timelines and focus on what is most important. I help my clients to understand their options, and to make informed decisions.
So... You want to know if I am a good fit for you?
I would want to know too! There are so many real estate agents in every market - it is a low bar. Many real estate agents are inexperienced, many are "part-time" and unresponsive... I am not.
I spent 25 years in tech sales and sales management, and owned a real estate / advertising company before I became a real estate agent. I have helped over 350 satisfied clients to buy and sell real estate in the Crested Butte area. See some of my reviews below, and contact me with any questions. I appreciate the opportunity to earn your business. Thanks, Chris.
"We recently engaged Chris to sell our Mt. Crested Butte condo. He could not have made the process easier. From pricing, to marketing, to negotiating, to facilitating improvements requested by the buyer, Chris was superb.
Chris's personal and business connections in this community are deep and dependable. He knows & loves the community; he understands the challenges. Living in the valley has been a terrific choice and will continue as long as we're able. Afterwards, we'll call Chris."

"Chris is absolutely the most outstanding real estate broker in Crested Butte and the Gunnison Valley. He is extremely thorough and patient--it took us over a year to make a decision on the purchase of our home. Chris demonstrates the highest standards of professionalism--he is prompt, responds to all requests immediately and negotiated all aspects of our contracts with ease. Chris is very detail oriented and his service did not end when we signed the closing paperwork. He was in touch throughout the following month to make sure everything was going well and we were happy with the purchase of our home. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone I know looking to sell or purchase a home!"

Where do I start - incredibly knowledgeable about the area, great advice on all aspects of our purchase - site as well as contract, super available and responsive, and very patient as we worked on our project on and off for over a year.
Chris helped us buy land that met an evolving and very narrow set of criteria and he nailed it. He is simply superb. I'd want him in my corner whether buying or selling

I have not met a more knowledgeable or harder working real estate agent than Chris Kopf in over 40 years of purchasing primary and second homes.
No one knows the CB market better than Chris, his market research is unmatched, he is incredibly responsive, and he has a huge network of providers for all aspects of purchasing and living in CB. We purchased a second home while living in NC, and our search was so well facilitated, it was like we lived locally.
We would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a home in the Crested Butte area.

He made us feel like we were his only client and the only real estate deal he was doing -- and I know that he was working on a number of sales at the same time. Whatever we asked him to do got done immediately and accurately.
He is extremely knowledgeable of the Crested Butte market. What a professional and what a gentleman. We now count Chris as a friend!"
