Testimonials from my clients…

I have recently worked with Chris and his uber-efficient support team both as Seller and Buyer. He proved to be the ultimate professional on both transactions, which had to be conduct-ed at warp speed in this current market. He priced each property accurately, called in local inspection and repair teams at short notice to overcome potential deal breakers, prevented me from overpaying in price negotiations and reached agreement with the other brokers to achieve my objectives in both cases. He enabled two complex transactions to be completed with simplicity and relative ease. I cannot recommend him more highly – appoint him to represent you and let him show you his class! – Richard C.

“

Chris Klug and his team were essential to the success of selling our family home in Snowmass Village. Chris was always responsive, knowledgeable, and attentive. Every aspect of the list-ing, showings, negotiations, contract, due diligence, and most importantly closing were han-dled by Chris and his team with the utmost professionalism and care for our family. Chris comes highly recommended from all of us. – Brian R.

“

We were able to purchase our home within weeks -- not easy coming from another state, and not easy during Covid! Chris was always available, seemingly in the middle of the night at times, to review options, set appointments, and make sure we understood the process and market. Even after signing our contract, we had an incredibly tight window to close. Chris had a great set of local vendors, inspectors, and other pros to pull everything together on time with zero slips. He was also able to negotiate meaningful concessions from the Seller after the pre-purchase inspection. Chris knows the market and understood how to navigate it. To do all of this, in a matter of weeks, during very difficult circumstances was quite a feat. He has our highest recommendation! – Matt A.

“

Chris actually helped us buy two homes in Aspen though before we bought the first, he showed us homes throughout the entire Roaring Fork and adjacent valleys so I assure you he knows the entire market - not just Aspen. Chris is one of those few brokers who you actually see and feel working for you - there is meaningful, value-add effort on his part at every step of the process.

We work in real estate in Chicago and have dealt with brokers for decades and can recognize those that earn their commissions and Chris absolutely does - and he’s a great, fun person with whom to team up for the adventure. – Jeff G. & Jon F.

Expertise, Experience and Local Advantage

On or off the sports podium, it comes down to hard work, honesty & integrity.

A

s a long-time Aspen local, I have deep ties and firsthand knowledge of this spectacular valley both on and off the slopes. Aspen’s unique character is defined by a love of the outdoors and access to year-round cultural activities. Attaining Body, Mind and Spirit actually happens here, everyday. My appreciation for the quality of life the mountains offer provides me with an intuitive approach when pairing clients with their homes. There are so many parallels between elite level competition and being the best Realtor in Aspen Snowmass. Training and competing at high-level athletics taught me what it takes to get the job done.

As a 3-time Winter Olympian, a Bronze Medalist Snowboarder in 2002 and an eleven-time US National Champion, I bring to my real estate clients the same positive attitude, grit, and determination that I gave to sports. It’s just who I am.

I’m fortunate to have an extensive network of contacts.

Twenty-five years of broadcast experience equipped me with a competitive marketing edge involving traditional print advertising, video, photography and social media. My exclusive team of photographers and videographers are world class. We will create stunning and unique marketing materials that tell your home’s story. With the most expansive social media platform in the local brokerage community I will get the word out about your property.

I sold over $200 million in 2020 and 2021 is off to another successful start. I am again one of Aspen’s top Realtors.

In 2000, after six years on a waiting list, I received a life-

saving liver transplant. In 2003, grateful for this gift of life, I founded the Chris Klug Foundation, to help those in need of a transplant and a second chance. I also helped create the Aspen Summit for Life – an uphill snowshoe race to the top of Aspen Mountain – to celebrate life and to help raise awareness and funds for organ donation. It’s a joy to show the world what’s possible after a transplant.
