Chris Kopf first landed in Crested Butte in 1999 and purchased a second home purchase with his brother Rick and spent a decade going back and forth from Dallas, relishing his time in the wildflower-strewn high country for much-needed getaways. An avid fly fisherman, Kopf managed to convince his wife, Francene, and three teenage daughters to move to their mountain paradise full-time. Segueing from a career in technology sales and management, Kopf landed his real estate license in 2009 and, in spite of the recession, began making massive strides in the industry. In three years, he ranked among the top 10 local brokers. In four years, he had become the top agent in Crested Butte. He ensconced himself in the community, supporting local businesses and organizations, volunteering at Tour de Forks for the Center for the Arts, and at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory as well as becoming president of the Crested Butte Rotary Club.
Now, in 2022, his awards and accolades are almost too numerous to count. The latest among them is the prestigious International Society of Excellence award, given selectively to only the top sales associates out of 96,000 across the globe—placing Chris in the top of the elite agents – better than the top one half of one percent of all Coldwell Banker brokers in the world.
How do you predict the Crested Butte real estate market will evolve in the next year?
“I think we’ll continue to see a lot of buyer demand. This summer we’re going to see a very active market again – at higher prices. We generally have a seasonal trend where new homes come on the market in the springtime in anticipation of summer buying season, and I have had a number of homeowners preparing for putting their homes on the market. One trend that is definitely emerging is the number of people re-setting their expectations and purchasing land. If buyers can’t find the home they want in their criteria, buying a piece of land to build your dream home for many could be a great option. I tell clients: “You may not be putting your head on a pillow for a couple of years, but you’re still getting in and creating the foundation for that lifetime of memories. I create and distribute a monthly lifestyle newsletter and a detailed market report to keep people informed on the current happenings, and the Crested Butte real estate market.”
How would you describe your personal recipe for success?
“I really focus on providing superior service to my clients. I had 30 years of sales and marketing business experience before I got my real estate license – working in the start-up tech world, and being a business owner. I love Crested Butte, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have great clients to work with – and my wife Francene and I have made many friendships. Because I was previously a second homeowner here for 10 years, I understand a lot of questions a buyer is thinking about. We also sold a few properties – so I was a seller as well. I have had the opportunity to work with hundreds of clients and understand details and emotions on the client level. Also, I think people like to do business with people they know and like and trust. I’ve been involved in the community and gotten to know a lot of people, I have supported local businesses and a lot of nonprofits. It has been very rewarding to be able to give back in many ways.”
