David M, COLORADO, Experienced, Local Real Estate Attorney
Kristin was amazing as our broker and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home or condominium in the Roaring Fork Valley. Her extensive knowledge of the local real estate market tremendously helped us in evaluating properties and finding the perfect condominium as our second home. Kristin’s attention to detail throughout the buying process was truly impressive – from listening to our needs, finding us the perfect place, helping secure the best price, providing great recommendations on local lenders, inspectors and contractors and overseeing the small details since we were over 1000 miles away. She is the best!

Kristin is a super star agent. She is always 10 steps ahead of everyone / everything and goes above and beyond to provide her clients with every bit of relevant information and make certain they are comfortable throughout the whole process. She is extremely thorough! We have know Kristin for 12 years, and she has abundant experience and a deep understanding of the complex Aspen Valley real estate market… which is invaluable! She recently represented us on our home purchase. We were so happy that we had her on our side – We highly recommend her for any Luxury Homes in Aspen.

My family and I have worked with Kristin Balko over the last two years, and she is amazing at what she does! She is extremely hard-working and responsive to our family’s needs. Kristin has a deep understanding of the market, and knows the tricks of the trade! Finding a home in this area can be tough, but Kristin was amazing at matching the needs of my family to what was available in our price range. Not only this, but she often checks in with us to make sure we are happy. She is cheerful, energetic and professional. We have had a great experience with her! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Aspen/Snowmass/Basalt area!

We came to Aspen looking for a home, and we found a friend. Kristin was wonderful to work with… She made the process an enjoyable adventure and took tremendous steps to alleviate the typical stresses of buying a home.

She made the process an enjoyable adventure, and took tremendous steps to alleviate the typical stresses of buying a home. However, her hard work and kindness didn’t stop once we bought our home, she helped us through the transition of moving in (and even brought us her own space heaters during a gas outage!). We really did find more in Aspen than a home. Thank you Kristin!
KB, Houston
Kristin is an amazing real estate agent. She guided my search for the perfect property in Aspen for over three years. She listened to all of my requirements and used them to filter all of the properties she brought to me. In the end, I bought a place that was very different from what I originally wanted but was exactly what Kristin had recommended I choose all along. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. There was a lot to manage with my closing, and Kristin handled every single piece of it for me masterfully. The level of professionalism and expertise Kristin has is unmatched. I wish I had listened to her sound advice more quickly. Thank you, Kristin, for everything you did for me. Anyone looking for a property in the Aspen area will be lucky to have the opportunity to work with you.
KR, DALLAS
The home buying process is daunting, especially with sight unseen. Kristin’s knowledge of Snowmass pointed me in the right direction. As a newer homebuyer, Kristin was extremely patient and helped me find a vacation property that checked every single box. In a market with a number of realtors, her expertise and focus on my best interest made her the perfect fit. I can’t believe I am a homeowner in Snowmass, thanks to Kristin!
GS, DENVER
I was really impressed with Kristin’s focus on the client. She is extremely knowledgeable about the local market and an ardent proponent of the Aspen area; however, her primary concern was that the client was making the right decision. Additionally, Kristin supported us through the entire process, quickly providing contact information for inspectors, insurance agents, and such – often calling them directly on our behalf. I enthusiastically recommend Kristin.
DB, SUGARLAND, TX
Kristin was a pleasure to work with – friendly, responsive and always available. She was there for us every step of the way during the buying process. She helped us identify value in a seller’s market and buy a great home!
L&JW, LA JOLLA
We had skied in Snowmass for many years, but it wasn’t until a summer visit that we decided it would be a great place to have a vacation home! Kristin Balko was patient as she showed us many options, listened to our conversations, and was able to hone in on exactly what we wanted. After finding the perfect area for us, she arranged a summer rental so we could get a feel for the property. Once we decided that was the neighborhood we wanted to be in, she sought out sellers. Using her contacts, she was able to uncover a seller. After sending several letters to the owners on our behalf, engagement and negotiations began. Kristin is passionate and knowledgeable about the area and helped us find the perfect mountain home!
S&WG, TEXAS
Kristin went the extra mile for us. In spite of a tight sellers market, she helped us find a great property in Basalt. We are so happy to have worked with her and are thrilled with our new home! Kristin is an “A+” realtor and now friend.
R&K, HOUSTON
We have been searching across Colorado since 2018 for our future community and next home when we leave Chicago. We met Kristin in 2018 and immediately liked her energy, professionalism and due diligence of previewing the property in advance. As our searched moved out of the Roaring Fork Valley to other parts of Colorado, we continued to measure other realtors against Kristin. While they were all very professional, we kept saying, “They’re good, but they don’t bring the fun and energy that Kristin did.” In November 2020, we moved our search back to the Valley and of course we reached out to Kristin. Kristin accommodated our schedule on very short notice and again showed up prepared with fun and enthusiasm. Kristin has always made us feel valued as clients. We closed on land in December 2020 in the Valley and Kristin guided us through the process flawlessly. Kristin continues to support us with her knowledge of the Valley with recommendations for architects, builders, etc. For us Kristin as set the bar high for all other realtors.
S&KN, CHICAGO
We had a sudden change in travel plans and contracted Kristin. Within 72 hours, she found us an amazing rental and saved our vacation. She is responsive, knowledgeable and an expert on real estate in Aspen. We will be calling her again!
