Kristin first blended her love of mountain ski country and sales in middle school while selling coupon books to raise money to go on a ski trip to Breckenridge, Colorado, and she has skied in Summit County every year since 1990. It was in 2007 that Kristin left her home state of Texas and moved to Colorado for the outdoor lifestyle of the mountains and for real estate opportunities.
Even after more than 18 years of living in the high country of Colorado, Kristin considers it a blessing to be able to wake up each morning in one of the most beautiful places in the United States and help others build their dream life in the mountains. She understands most, if not all, of the ins and outs of creating a home in the mountains, and graciously shares everything she knows with her clients.
As an avid angler, birder, and hiker, Kristin can be found appreciating the beauty and quiet of the rivers as she hones her fly-fishing skills. However, most days Kristin can be found exploring one of the many hiking trails with her canine sidekicks Ruby & Bella.
Kristin considers herself a lifelong learner and takes a great deal of joy in both teaching and learning. As a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin, Kristin earned her Bachelor’s Degree in English, with minors in Spanish and Business. After college, she worked as a bilingual elementary school teacher in Houston, where she was born and raised.
She is very proud of the family values she learned from being brought up by two working parents-her mother worked in market research and her father worked for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company after he served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam.
Business ownership was a valuable lesson learned early on because Kristin’s grandparents owned Westmoreland Dairy in Houston-the last dairy in the city that offered home delivery service. Her family was also some of Houston’s original rice farmers. Other family businesses included a dirt yard, fireworks stand, a gas station, liquor store, antique store, dry cleaner, and a grocery store in the Houston Heights area, a staple in the community for generations. She feels very fortunate to have learned about how to run a relationship-based business with core family values of hard work, honesty, determination, and treating people with respect.
