I caught this very rare Palamino Trout in the photo in the East River here in Crested Butte. Catching any trout in live water with a fly rod requires proper equipment, preparation, expertise, knowledge, skill, attention to detail and patience. I have never caught a fish when I wasn't fishing - pretty basic, but you have to have your line in the water...
Valuable lessons that I also apply in my real estate business and all that I do.

"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 was very responsive, he is really on top of the real estate market and worked hard, to Sell our Crested Butte area home, and help us buy another home."
- Bette & Gary Keiser
We met Chris years ago and have stayed in touch all those years until the perfect property for us popped up on one of Chris’s helpful email alerts. Chris called me back quickly, we discussed strategy, and he ran over to the place to get us on a FaceTime video tour. We made an offer that day and closed a month later. There were expected hiccups along the way, but Chris’s experience and calm approach helped us navigate through to a successful purchase. Thanks Chris!

"What a pleasure it was to work with Chris Kopf. He was always organized and ready to go. 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!"

"We are so grateful to Chris for helping us find the mountain home of our dreams.
He was so knowledgeable about the process and really helped us every step of the way, from mapping out expenses and budget, looking at a variety of options, talking about renovation and upgrade options, and finally closing the deal quickly and efficiently.
He even got us set up with a great property manager."
- Megan & Tony Uerling, Houston, TX
"Chris worked a year trying to find the ideal house for us in Crested Butte.
He is a great guy and made the whole buying process enjoyable and efficient. He works very hard to be the most knowledgeable and professional realtor in the area.
I would definitely recommend him for any buyer or seller in the Crested Butte area."
- Rusty & Sylvia Olsen, San Antonio
"We worked with Chris to buy a second home in Crested Butte. His knowledge of the area was extremely helpful since our primary home is out of state and we weren’t sure which area would be best for us: on the mountain, in town or in Skyland.
He was very patient (as we spent 3 years looking for the perfect place for us) and responsive during the entire process – he made it feel as if we were conducting business in the same town rather than from two different states. Additionally, he is very knowledgeable. We highly recommend Chris!"
