About Kris Bruce

Originally from southern California, I came to the Vail Valley to pursue a career rooted in skiing and the enjoyment of a mountain lifestyle. I began teaching skiing in the Beaver Creek Ski School, met my husband and eventually followed the snow between the US and the Southern Hemisphere. In the early 2000's we decided to live in the Valley year-round and to start a family. This is a wonderful community with the feel of a small town. However, it also has a diverse population who moved here from other parts of the world. Everyone is connected by a common love of the outdoors and an appreciation of the natural beauty of our Valley. Through my contacts with ski clients, I began a career in real estate. For over 15 years, I have had the pleasure of starting and managing High Life Properties, a successful boutique real estate firm. In December 2016, High Life Properties joined Engel & Voelkers, Vail. I am very pleased to be part of this cutting-edge company and to be working with an outstanding group of brokers. My best traits are listening to my clients, being always available, driven, reliable, providing continual assistance throughout a transaction and remaining in touch afterwards. I live in Avon with my husband Ian, daughter Tianna and son Stewart. We enjoy skiing in the winter and biking in the summer.

Kris went above and beyond for us. Her negotiation skills, communication, service and work ethic are all top notch. After more than 7 months on the market with another agent, we switched to Kris . She immediately set to work bringing in trades to do a refresh of our listing, got us back on the market very quickly, and within days brought us multiple offers at full price. Kris value also shone through as she confidently set expectations with buyers agents and negotiated our desired terms. She was an immense help at getting us through inspection, enlisting trades to get repairs done and always making herself available to do what was needed, as I was out of the country for much of this process. Simply out, Kris did an outstanding job. She is a pleasure to work with and a rockstar agent!

Kris was outstanding in her efforts to assist us in selling one property and purchasing another. Both transactions had issues that needed to be resolved and Kris was instrumental in getting them resolved. The one word I would use to describe Kris is tenacious. Both deals probably would not have been consummated without Kris' efforts to get them done. We can not recommend Kris highly enough.

Kris Bruce is the perfect, steadying personality, for the ups and downs in the world of real estate. Kris negotiated strongly on price, oversaw and kept track of all of the inspections, followed up with all of the contractors, organized photos and cleanings, and generally kept everything moving forward. We had a long escrow, and she was reassuring throughout. I would absolutely work with Kris again.

I highly recommend Kris. I felt she always represented my best interest as a seller. She responded promptly in a professional manner to all my phone calls, emails, and text messages. She seems to be well respected by her piers in the Vail Valley.

Kris was very professional and helpful with all the buying process. She showed us several properties until we found the one perfect for us. The comunication was constant and she kept us informed about all the details pertaining the transaction constantly. She also helped a lot with the signing process since everything was done electronically. My husband and are very happy to have her as our agent and if we ever want to buy or sell another property we will for certain look for Kris to help us.
