Krista Klees

“Krista Klees has secured a reputation as one of the most sought-after real estate brokers in the Aspen and Roaring Fork Valley, having dedicated over 35 years to building and growing two of the region’s most successful independent brokerages. Now, as President of Slifer, Smith & Frampton, Roaring Fork Valley, she pairs the backing of this trusted, legacy brokerage with the unmatched expertise of her team of brokers and associates—all equally passionate about ensuring the highest levels of service for their clients.

While Krista specializes in Aspen’s highest-profile listings, she takes an understated approach that values privacy and discretion, endearing her to her discriminating clientele. Being selective with the clients and homes she represents allows her to dedicate the personal attention and hands-on effort each deserves. And her many years in the business arm her with an unrivaled understanding of the local market and long-standing, trusted relationships with her extensive network of brokers and long-time locals—so when it comes time to find the perfect buyer or seller for any home, Krista simply knows the right folks to call. Backed by the international prestige of Forbes Global Properties and the Slifer network of brokers throughout the state, which brings global and state-wide exposure to her high-end listings.

Named Realtor of the Year 2020 by the Aspen Board of Realtors, and former president and current board member of ABOR, Krista brings a rare, ego-less attitude to her work. Ask her to list her previous years sales and you’ll likely be out of luck, as she prefers to let her reputation and recommendations from clients and peers do the talking. What they’d likely tell you is that her passion for Aspen, the local real estate community, and of course her Slifer family, shines through in all she does—tirelessly working as a dedicated advocate of her hometown, her brokers, and of course, her clients.”
