Client Testimonials
What Chris Kopf’s Clients say About his Professionalism:
“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 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!”
We loved working with Chris Kopf. He helped us sell a home in CB South and purchase one in downtown CB.

“What a pleasure it was to work with Chris Kopf. He was always organized and ready to go.
“Chris is the ultimate Real Estate Professional! He knows the Crested Butte market, both from the buyer and seller perspective. He does his homework beforehand and is able to answer questions with confidence. When there is a “glitch” he is prepared with a calm demeanor and potential solutions, giving us, the clients, the confidence to move forward.
“We chose Chris Kopf as the listing agent for our home for the following three reasons:
1. Chris has deep and broad knowledge of the Crested Butte valley real estate market as evidenced by his demonstrated success in the realtor business, and by the extensive research and analysis that goes into his monthly news letter to keep his clients informed.
2. Due to his marketing skills, Chris has access to potential local and out of state home buyers.
3. Chris is extremely personable and gracious. Our home in Meridian Lake Park subdivision sold in a few weeks due to the overall excellence of the listing and Chris’ home buyer client knowledge.
The entire process from initial discussions to closing was handled smoothly with minimum disruption or issue along the way for both us as the sellers, and for the new home owners.
If you are a seasoned home owner, or if you are new to the home buying or selling process, we highly recommend that you consider Chris Kopf as your real estate professional.”
– Becky & Tom Mitchell
“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 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!”
– Erin & Rob Addison – Los Angeles, CA
