Kristin Kleimann, Broker. Realtor. Expert.
​
​I specialize in helping clients navigate the complex real estate buying and selling process by making it simple, transparent, and personalized.

I've been in the real estate industry: buying, selling, and managing properties, since 1998. My buying and selling perspective on both the consumer and agent sides helps me better understand your needs and goals, and best assist you. My negotiation training and certification helps me effectively 
negotiate to get the best price and terms for you. I am also a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist and I apply this knowledge to all my listings.

My home focus is the Denver Metro area and close in, more affordable alternatives. I currently live in the University Park/Observatory Park neighborhood but also own property in Berkeley and the University of Denver neighborhoods.

To make good decisions, you need to be an educated consumer.

Before entering the real estate industry officially, I spent more than 15 years as a communication consultant helping government agencies make complex information clear and usable. I believe clear communication is a consumer right.

As part of my communication consultant work, I worked with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on the "Know Before You Owe" project to design new mortgage disclosures --the Loan Estimate (formerly the Good Faith Estimate) and the Closing Disclosure (formerly the HUD-1). 

The Loan Estimate (LE)  is intended to be used as a shopping tool to help you choose a mortgage that is right for you.  The Closing Disclosure (CD) is intended to help you understand what, if anything, changed between your loan estimate and closing.  This is good news for consumers as consumers can better use, compare, and understand complex mortgage information and terms with these disclosures. The disclosures have been called "understandable," "transparent," and "fair." These mandatory disclosures were implemented in October 2015. Let me know what you think...
