Christy Krause

A Rocky Mountain Girl at Heart

Christy can perhaps be best described as a Coloradan who loves her adopted home state as much as she loves to travel and seek out life’s adventures! This unique combination allows her to understand both the excitement and tension that often surface during a relocation, as well as the importance of finding just the right place to call ‘home.’

Born in Ohio but raised in Colorado Springs from the age of 5, Christy attended Coronado High School and earned her bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Colorado Boulder. Upon graduation, she set her sights on New York City, where she became a Vice President for the Morgan Stanley Institutional Equity Trading Floor early in her career. Soon after, she and her husband, Trent, moved to Barcelona, Spain, for one of his work assignments. Their first son was born abroad, which led to a whole new level of getting to know their new city, its culture and customs—and its medical facilities!

Once back in the United States, they briefly settled in Connecticut before returning to Colorado to raise their growing family. Years later, when a work opportunity once again opened the door to living abroad, Christy, Trent, and their three children packed up and relocated to England for three years. While it wasn’t easy to leave family and friends, it was certainly an amazing opportunity to explore another part of the world together.

Upon returning to Colorado in 2011, the Krauses settled in Castle Pines—just far enough from city life to enjoy the peace and quiet but still only 10 minutes away from seemingly everything they need. When Christy was presented with the opportunity to join Destination Denver Realty a short time later, she knew it would be just the right fit. Now a licensed Realtor, Christy brings together her years of personal relocation experience and love of travel to help clients establish their new lives in a new city.
