5-Star Zillow Premier Agent, GRI, e-Pro, Broker Associate, Certified Negotiation Expert, Real Estate Consultant & HomeSmart Elite Agent
I understand that a home is not a home because of its room dimensions or the color of the walls. It is about how you feel when you walk through the front door and the way you can instantly envision your life unfolding there. Purchasing a home is about more than real estate. It is about your life and your dreams.
Having lived in Colorado since 1981 I have seen the ups and downs of many markets including the downturn in the market from 2010 to 2014. During this time I successfully navigated the foreclosures sales and short sales for my clients and I am able to greater assist home-buyers with the intricacies of purchasing REO (Bank-Owned) and short-sale properties.
With careful attention to detail, I treat every customer honestly and provide diligent service!

Kristan is detail-oriented and leaves no stone unturned during the selling or purchase of properties. She uses professional marketing that highlights the properties features using high-quality production videos and photographs. She is concerned and intimately involved with the entire selling process which includes getting the property ready to sell, and staged professionally to highlight the home’s rooms and features.
Kristan provides a first-class marketing plan for selling that includes a property and home curb appeal plan, and utilizes “coming soon” advertisements that build excitement and reaches a large share of qualified buyers.
In 2022, I listed two properties with Kristan. The first property with the home was under contract in less than a week, the second property (vacant land) was under contract in less than two weeks. I received my asking price for both properties!
Finally, we had fun, and you don't often hear that when trying to buy a home. She is the absolute tops, and we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her!
Here's my story :
When I helped move my parent into an assisted living facility, I needed to sell my parent's home in Colorado Springs. Not living there, I asked a neighbor for a recommendation of a realtor with expertise of the neighborhood (Villa Loma). He enthusiastically recommended Kristan.
I contacted her and set up an introductory meeting. She arrived on time and very well prepared - with a list of recent comps for the neighborhood. She was very knowledgeable of the area and recently sold homes. My parent's home was a challenge in that it was older - 1970's - and in rough shape due to 20 years of deferred maintenance. After assessing the home, she came up with pricing and provided justifications for the price point. A few weeks later, the house went on the market. Kristan set up an open house for the first weekend. Because of her marketing on social media, the turnout of interested buyers was high. That same weekend on Sunday, Kristan presented 13 offers to me. She ranked the offers taking price, loan/cash, closing date, etc. into account. With her rankings, Kristan guided me in selecting the right offer to accept. Once the house was under contract, Kristan kept me informed of inspections, surveys, appraisals, etc. Closing was a breeze even though I live out of state. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell (or buy) their home.
There just isn't a better realtor out there. She also knows the market, knows all the ins and outs of selling (and buying) a home. I will be forever grateful.
Kristan walked through my mother's house, which I needed to sell, and made suggestions to improve the home and its selling price: "replace the windows, have every room and all ceiling painted, and make improvements to the deck." Kristan even recommended contractors for the work to be done. Each of the contractors recommended were able to do the work within a couple of months, and they did an excellent job at a reasonable cost. I myself devoted my energies to deep cleaning the whole house. By the time we put it on the market the home looked spectacular inside and out. It got bids the day Kristan put it on the market and was sold for a price higher than the listing price within the week. I highly recommend Kristan Rigdon for all your real estate agent needs.
I can't say enough about this experience.. But I can say you will be so happy you have her as your realtor!
I intend to use Kristan again the next time I look for a different house in Colorado Springs.
She always seems to instinctively know the right questions to ask to get to the heart of the matter and checks over the details with a fine tooth comb. Because of this she realized what wasn’t included in the contract and was able to get me a better deal.
Kristan was always available to answer any questions I had, and explained things very thoroughly. Once, when time was critical and she wasn’t available, she had her partner show me a house so I wouldn’t have to wait.
She was extremely patient, and didn’t put any pressure at all on me to buy just so she could make a sale. She wanted me to find what I needed. I was looking for a house that was move in ready and wouldn’t require much upkeep, so it wasn’t an easy task. Because of her real estate expertise, she would point out obvious things that I hadn’t even considered. She basically held my hand during the entire process. She spent hours explaining the ins and outs of the contracts I was signing to make sure I understood everything.
She continues to help me now with any questions that I still have. She is so upbeat and easy to get along with that she made the difficult real estate process seem like it was easy and fun! I highly recommend that you call Kristan Rigdon. I’ve bought and sold a lot of homes in the past and this was my very best experience. I never met anyone who was so thorough in looking out for my needs! Call Kristan now!
She answered all our questions with helpful and ‘down to earth’ explanations. She advised us of the current market and explained the process, much as any agent would do; but even more she provided valuable personal advice and suggestions. She was never ‘pushy’ or demanding, but gave us detailed points, both pro and con to help us in various decisions regarding what we should do to prepare our house for market. Once we agreed to contract with her she stayed in constant contact—giving us updates on the current market, but really also being accessible for the many questions we continuously had. She spent a great deal of time with us, explaining in great detail how the whole process would work. She was never condescending or impatient, especially with my husband’s constant queries and worries, realizing that we don’t do this everyday and all the language was foreign to us. She offered excellent advice—and had a very solid staff to help with various issues that arose, yet she allowed us to make the decisions that truly were best for us and our situation.
If you want a great agent there is no better choice in my opinion than Kristan Rigdon.
