Client Testimonials

"Kris is someone who, in my judgment, sets the standards for her profession. After working with Kris a number of years ago when I retired and we were looking for a home when we moved back to the St. Louis area, there was no question that she was the person we wanted to work with again when we decided to sell our residence and downsize to a place where yard work no longer was required. Kris handled both the sale and the new purchase and there was never any doubt she always had our best interests foremost in her mind. We had absolute trust in her advice and recommendations."
- Jim and Sharon Erickson, Retired. Our relationship was based on earlier experience working with her on a home purchase.

"Kris was awesome. Went above and beyond to take care of us and to find us the perfect home. She was simply the best!! "
- Mark Nees

"Kris is exceptional in her role and works very hard to make sure everyone feels like they are treated well. "
- Steve Lencke

"Kris is exceptional at her job and works hard to make all parties feel like they have been treated well throughout the process. "
- Steven H. Lenke

"Our sister, Kris, did an exceptional job communicating and making sure my brothers and I understood every step of the process. She also helped to beautifully stage our parents’ home, and we’re sure that was an important part of the very strong offers we received from several buyers. We would definitely recommend Kris to everyone (but we might also be a bit partial!)! "
- Robin L. Lemmons

"I cannot say enough good things about RedKey Realty and the agent who worked with us, Kris Kimerle. I met their CEO, Jill Baker and shared that I we were in the process of a divorce and needed to sell our home. She was empathetic and understanding of our situation, and offered to help me find just the right agent to work with. And boy does she really know her agents! Kris was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was extremely professional, while making us feel as if we were friends, and not just clients. She really cares for the people she serves as well as the community and neighborhood they live in. When we first contacted Kris, we weren't even close to being ready to list. We needed time to purge our home of 25 years. While we did this, she was patient; never pushed nor hurried us. There were last minute repairs that needed doing and Kris always knew just the right people for the job. Every one of her recommended trades people and handy-persons responded immediately and did outstanding work at reasonable prices. An unusual situation with a home-owner's insurance claim required Kris and her broker to work patiently and ethically to help us understand and resolve, once again, showing extreme care and ethical professionalism. Once we were ready to list, Kris went to work quickly to develop a selling strategy and get our house sold as quickly as possible! With the "housing bubble of a lifetime" beginning to float down, and a home that could only be sold "as is" Kris helped us get every penny of our home's value. We had multiple offers and eventually accepted one with no contingencies that was more than 15% above our asking price! Kris came to visit while I was recuperating from hip replacement surgery during the time we were supposed to be packing up. She even helped us do last minute packing when things hadn't gone as smoothly as we would have liked. All in all, Kris was professional, ethical, knowledgeable, friendly, and caring. What more could a person ask for from a realtor, or a friend? I will definitely call her when I am ready to purchase my next home and I highly recommend her to anyone selling."
- Doris McCarter

"Our experience with Kris was tremendous. We were beyond impressed with her work ethic and commitment to our family. She did an amazing job of exploring each and every opportunity that may be of interest to us as buyers. While we have been fortunate to work with many great realtors in the past, Kris set herself apart as the BEST! "
- Ben & Kerry Johnson

"Thanks to outstanding agents like Kris Kimerle, your team is top notch when it comes to buying a home. We felt well represented and taken care of throughout our search, and then all the way to closing once we finally got a contract on a home we loved. Above and beyond with superior service and 24/7 care. We'd recommend Kris and her team to anyone."
- Robert J Will

" My wife and I were so lucky to have been introduced to Kris Kimerle by her previous clients that were friends of ours. Her quiet and sophisticated demeanor were true genuine characteristics of an agent who knew her profession. Our personal situation was complicated by a timeline prescribed by the building of a new home in the middle of supply chain disruptions such that the builder could not commit to a completion date. While at the same time trying to time the sale of our previous home in order to avoid moving twice. Kris was our advocate from start to finish from new construction to selling our previous home and made it all happen. If you wish to avoid unforeseen pitfalls with hopes of navigating an unfamiliar experience, we could not recommend Kris Kimerle more highly."
- James E Vandewater

"Kris Kimerle has been with me through my various home buying/selling journeys for the last 13 years. She is incredibly knowledgeable, accessible, and possesses a wealth of information. Kris involved me in every step of the process and I was completely confident in having what I needed to make the best decisions. Kris stayed involved with me even after the property closed to make sure I had everything I needed, I know I can call her with any question or for whatever resource I might need. Buying or selling a home is an emotional, life changing experience that can feel both exciting and overwhelming. Kris is highly professional, personal, and patient. If you have the privilege of working with Kris, you will have an agent and a friend for life. Heather Sartin "
- Heather Sartin

"Kris was wonderful! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She really knows the market and helped me with everything from staging my home to moving to my new house. "
- Mary Howard, Client

"A blessing every step of the way! Kris Kimerle sets the standard for Christ-honoring excellence. She is professional, knowledgeable, always available, goes the extra mile, trustworthy, personable, flexible and a delight to work with. Caring, compassionate and kind describe Kris, as well as her experienced eye for every detail required in real estate transactions. If I had taken photos, they would be of Kris driving me to appointments, shopping for particular light fixtures and ceiling fans needed to accommodate my vision impairment, cleaning my hardwood floor on her hands and knees, teaching me how to operate a new vacuum, offering her home as a respite during showings, loading her car with decorations used to embellish my home for showings, and many more kindnesses too numerous to mention. "
- Kathy Kothe

"l first met Kris when she was the realtor for my new neighbor. I made a mental note that she was very attentive to details and seemed to have my neighbors best interest in mind. So several years later when I decided to sell my place I asked my neighbor for her info. She went above and beyond with helping me sell my place. There were a few issues that came up right before closing and she stepped right up to help. I moved 1000 miles away but If I was still in the area I would definitely use Kris again and recommend that you do too! "
- Sally keith

"Kris has a wealth of knowledge and professional contacts to draw from. We relocated from out of state and Kris truly made the experience less stressful. I didn’t make it easy on her as I didn’t exactly know what I needed but she was able to listen and recommend a perfect solution. I can’t thank her enough for her guidance and highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs."
- Nicolas Eicks

"Kris is the best Realtor we've ever worked with! A friend referred us to Kris because they had such a positive home purchase experience. We moved to the St Louis area from out of state and Kris' extensive local knowledge was so valuable. From the initial call we had with her up to the day of closing, Kris provided us with expert guidance and was super responsive. She genuinely cared about us and our situation, which gave us so much confidence in being able to make such a big relocation happen. Kris also has an extensive network of equally impressive professionals for every aspect of the home-buying process. We are extremely happy with the service Kris provided and we highly recommend her for your next home purchase or sale."
- Eric Carter

"Kris is the definition of "going above and beyond" and "doing whatever it takes" to prepare and sell a home. My sister and I (sellers) live out of state and Kris had to arrange and assess all home repairs, painting, and decluttering. She even did a bit of cleaning herself! She kept us informed every step of the way. She also purchased items to make the home more attractive (shower curtains for example). She always made time for any questions or concerns we had. After going through this, I feel like I have known Kris for years and consider her a friend. She is trustworthy, honest and very forthright. Her strong relationships with the community and fellow realtors was another benefit. I am grateful for everything she did for us and so glad that we chose her to represent us. She definitely set us up for success."
- Eva Iaccino

"Kris did an awesome job helping us sell our house. In two days had over 50 showings,16 offers and a sale price more then 12% above the asking price. "
- Jeffrey & JoAnn Peterson

"From the moment I engaged Kris to serve as my realtor she immediately provided a thoughtful analysis of the current market for my villa home, proposed a asking price and arranged for all necessary inspections. As issues surfaced from inspections she proposed and arranged contractors from her vast collection of resources to quickly address necessary repairs. She arranged photos to be taken to prepare the listing to display the property in its best image. Kris then skillfully established a showing schedule keeping me in the loop at all times. The first weekend of multiple showings resulted in 4 offers from which we selected the one most favorable to my circumstances. Kris displays attention to detail, is always quickly responsive and is personally involved in all aspects of the process. She is the most thorough and professional realtor it has been my privilege to represent me in this latest transaction. My highest recommendation for your consideration !"
- Don Loso

"Kris is the best. She was always willing and able to go see houses with us and very flexible with her schedule. She communicates very well and lets you know about any changes/updates along the way. When writing offers and under contract/negotiations, Kris' experience is extremely valuable and helpful. She always fought for us and did gave us her insights. 10/10 would recommend. We couldn't have gotten our first home without her. "
- Dalton Loos

"We love Kris! She is extremely knowledgeable about every step of the process (inspections, market conditions, negotiations, etc) and a JOY to work with! "
- Mary L, Customer

"Kris was instrumental in ensuring that my home was not sold to a ethically challenged firm. She literally saved me from a financial disaster with a net profit for me of $75,000.00, She is honest and sensitive to the needs of her clients. Kris is proactive...honest and a great ambassador for how real estate agents should be revered. Kris is informed, attentive to details, and great at follow-up on commitments. Kris is rated as the sixth star in your rating system!! "
- Elder George A. Whittaker II, ADAMAS

 

"I couldn't ask for a more professional and caring person to help sell my parent's house. We lived in the house for 49 years and Kris made the process easy. Not only did she provide great advice for selling the house but also had resources available for the minor fixes that needed to be made. Kris paid attention to the little details and it made all the difference. I cannot recommend Kris highly enough. She is AWESOME!!!"
- Tony Zamberlan

"We came to know Kris because she quickly sold a house in our neighborhood for a good price. We asked her to represent us in the building of our new house and the selling of our old house. Kris is exactly what we needed in a real estate professional. She managed all details in a friendly, timely and thorough manner. Her knowledge and attention to each detail was impressive to say the least. She was available whenever we needed her, which was practically every day for almost a year. Kris attended every meeting we had with the builder over a 7 month period. Kris managed all of the updates and repairs needed to sell my old house. She was always kind and caring and held it all together for us during this busy and stressful transition. We highly recommend Kris, and will ask her to represent us again in our next move."
- Gerald and Cecile Davis

"I'm convinced that Kris Kimerle is the best realtor on the planet! I moved to the St. Louis area from out of state so when I started my search for a home a didn't know the market well, didn't know where exactly I wanted to live. I really needed to work with someone who knew the St. Louis area and also was very patient and informative. A friend recommended that I contact Kris so I did, and I'm so thankful because she has far exceeded my expectations. Kris is honest, patient, knowledgeable, and truly a pleasure to work with. I've purchased homes in California and in New Jersey in the past and Kris is on a different level than any other realtor I've worked with before. Sometimes realtors will push you to make offers and really do whatever they can to expedite the process, even when it's not necessarily in the best interest of their client, so they can take their commission and move on to the next. Kris was quite the opposite, informing us of things that should be of concern when we didn't recognize it. It was clear that her primary concern was a happy client and I'm so appreciative of that! She even searched the internet for a good deal on a lawnmower and then called us when she found a ridiculously good deal because she knew we needed one - certainly outside of her job description! She is the absolute best in the business, and I would highly recommend her for anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home."
- Angie C

"We could not have asked for a better realtor! Kris was wonderful to work with!"
- Melissa Ridderbos

"As a 70 year old selling her home to move cross-country during a pandemic seemed impossible. I actually don't believe it would have happened if it hadn't been for Kris Kimmerle. At every step of the way, Kris was dedicated, responsive and made me feel comfortable during this very difficult time. When my first contract fell through due to covid layoffs/and the loan falling through, I decided to forge ahead with my move even though my house was not yet sold. I totally trusted Kris and believed she would take care of all details. Kris consistently went above and beyond as she oversaw contract workers, home repairs, and the house re-listing. I know that my stress was an additional component that Kris had to navigate and I am so appreciative for her support. I will consider her a lifelong friend. Her consummate professionalism, suggestions, and industry expertise helped me to get top dollar. I could not be happier with the service I received. If it was possible, I'd give Kris 10 stars! "
- Debby Miller

"Kris Kimerle is the finest realtor we have ever had, and we moved more then eight times! She consistently went over and above for us. She made a very tough transition, go smoothly. She and your broker Shawn fought for us at every turn. As a result, I have and will continue to recommend Redkey to anyone I/we know that is considering listing or buying a house. I would list all that Kris did for us. but I can't type that fast. Suffice it to say, you have one heck of an agency, if everyone is of the quality of Kris and Shawn. John/Joan Keener"
- John/ Joan Keener, Kelsey Group, Inc.

"Kris is the ultimate professional, taking care of every detail and communicating with us every step of the way. We had a very quick closing and it was stress-free with Kris helping us. I recommend her regularly!"
- Kathy Erickson

"My wife and I were completely blown away by Kris' professionalism and kindness. She was truly incredible and we can't stop recommending her to others that we know who are thinking of selling/buying their house. She listened intently, offered credible and helpful advice through the entire process, always communicated thoroughly and timely, explained terminology clearly, and had a great attitude through the process. "
- Stephen Kruse, VP Finance & Controller, St. Louis Blues

"Kris is the finest, most able and creative realtor we have ever known. She has also become a good friend. She expertly guided us through the sale of our home and the purchase of two other properties. She made suggestions and clinched purchases where we were in competition with other buyers...things we would not have thought of on our own. She is a great communicator and stayed in close touch with us during the realty process. We would not hesitate to sing her praises to other homeowners. She always goes above and beyond what is required. She is the best!"
- Jim and Carolyn Auckley

"She is the most amazing person- personally and professionally. "
- Sally and Peter Brown, EH Holdings

"Our third time relying on Kris’s expertise! Kris is a fantastic agent to buy or sell with, highly recommend!"
- Peter B

"Kris is the absolute best! She cares more about her clients than making the sale! She was patient, kind & understanding when helping us find our dream home. I’ve recommended her to both family & friends on multiple occasions, she has NEVER let me down!"
- Jacob Wolf

"Kris is amazing! She’s very knowledgeable, insightful and not to mention patient and kind. She helped us get our house ready to sell by giving us a lot of suggestions. She helped us come up with a reasonable selling price, backed by data from her research. She was very patient in working with us, especially with our busy work and family schedule. She is quick to give us updates and is always available for questions. She’s very proactive. She’s very thorough and made selling our home as painless as possible. Our house was under contract in less than 2 weeks during a slow market!"
- Tanya H.

"“Kris is the most helpful, knowledgeable agent I have ever used. I have bought and sold houses around the country and with each there were issues of not really attending to my property or not giving me enough to look at during my time in town, or not keeping me informed about opportunities. Kris was so on top of things from the moment we connected to the closing and after to make sure things were all good. She is creative when a glitch comes up, she always has a thought or 2 about how we could accomplish what we need. Kris was very aware of how little time I had during the day and she made sure personally that things were moving forward and getting completed. I will not work with anyone else in the future, only Kris!” Deborah P. – bought in Chesterfield"
- Deborah P. – bought in Chesterfield

"“I’ve bought/sold with Kris 4 times. Sadly, this last time was due to a divorce so my head was spinning from firm deadlines and requirements. She made it a breeze to find the home of my dreams recently when there weren’t many houses on the market. When I was feeling overwhelmed at staging my old house, she was amazing at offering opinions and options. She has a heart of gold and instincts you can trust to lead you in the right direction. After selling my first house, I knew I would use Kris forevermore as my realtor in St. Louis. I felt blessed by having her by my side during tumultuous times. Kris is the BEST!!!”"
- Deb B. – bought & sold in Wildwood

""During my business career, our family has moved a number of times. In those moves, we have worked with real estate agents both in selling the home where we were living and buying at a new location. Without question, the real estate agent who ranks #1 with us is Kris Kimerle.Why? There are many reasons but the ones that stand out are these:1. Kris was always available. Whenever we had a question or needed input on anything, she either was there when we called or returned our calls promptly.2. Kris knew the real estate market extremely well and used that knowledge to make sure she showed us homes that matched our needs and means.3. Kris is a 'people' person who knows the meaning of 'patience' and how best to practice it when her clients are making a major financial decision." "
- Jim & Barbara – Bought in Ballwin

"“There is not enough we could say about how wonderful it was to have Kris Kimerle as our Realtor. She did everything she could to help us find the perfect house! We had exhausted every imaginable avenue (she was even going to help us find an apartment!) when Kris heard about a house that was going to be sold and flipped. She was able to get a meeting with the purchasers of the house where we were all able to sit down and discuss what we were willing to pay and what we wanted done to the house. Throughout the whole meeting, Kris kept pushing for the things she knew were important to us and was able to exceed our wildest expectations. There is no way we would have been able to get this nice of a house without her! As long as Adrianne and I live in the St. Louis area, we will always go to Kris for any and every need on selling and buying a house and recommend her to all our friends, and more importantly, we will always consider Kris a good friend!” "
- Josh & Adrianne – Bought in Ballwin

"“Kris was my realtor when I was in search of the perfect condo for my next phase of life. She was very responsive and informative each step of the way. I have been in my condo for 2 weeks and love it. Kris’s patience and perseverance equaled my perfect home. I would highly recommend her to anyone in search of their perfect home.” Kim B. – Valley Park"
- Kim B. – Valley Park

"“5 Stars just isn’t a high enough rating to describe the professionalism and knowledge Kris brings to the table. As you can see from her past sales she’s a mover and shaker. She has this incredible ability to quickly understand what you’re looking for in a home and fine tune the searches just for you. As a buyer, I was so lucky to have Kris recommended to me because she worked very very hard to make sure I felt 100% confident in my purchase. She played a key role in getting my inspections scheduled quickly and helped find the right professionals to tackle things that needed to be fixed to keep my purchase on track. She also recommended quality contractors that I used to remodel my home after we closed on the property. She’s hands down the best in the St Louis area.” "
- Lisa H. – bought in Chesterfield

"“Kris is the reason we are now owners of our dream home. She did an amazing job of listening to what we wanted and finding properties to show us that fit our wants and needs. She was readily available at a moment’s notice and always went the extra mile to make the entire process as seamless as possible. She knows the home buying and selling process inside and out. She was simply the best! Amazing to work with, patient, informative, and unbelievably kind. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or as was our case do both, she is the best for the job.” Sara & Jacob – bought & sold in Manchester"
- Sara & Jacob – bought & sold in Manchester

"“We began house hunting in Jan ‘17 and Kris was so helpful with showing us listings for the next 9 months that it took to find the right one! She then listed our home and we were able to not only sell it in 4 days, but she also negotiated like a pro and we received full list price! Kris was ALWAYS available and is so knowledgeable and caring, we had the best experience.” "
- Matt & Nancy – sold in Wildwood; bought in Manchester

"“We HIGHLY recommend Kris Kimerle! We have used Kris for multiple homes we have bought and sold. She is very knowledgeable and professional. Her main interest is that you’re happy with your home and her services. She is readily available at all times.” "
- Bob & Brenda – sold in Ballwin; bought in Wildwood

"Kris is very professional and truly cares about her clients. She kept me informed on the smallest details and made everything so easy for me. She will go the extra mile so that her clients have the best experience possible. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. I have used her for both and was extremely pleased both times."
- Marcia Grass

"We have worked with Kris twice; first to purchase our home 16 years ago when we relocated to St. Louis. The second and most recent, was to sell that home as we were relocating again. After hearing others’ experiences with their realtors, I’m certain that we had one of the most knowledgeable out there. Kris is prepared before she even shows up to your house, with comps of the area and a working knowledge of your neighborhood. From start to finish... her making suggestions on what we needed to do, pricing the house, working with repairmen, prepping us for inspections, showings, working with agents at contract time, closing on the house and so much more...she did with excellence, patience and confidence. I would recommend Kris to anyone in need of a realtor. Our only disappointment was that we were moving out of the area and couldn’t take her with us. "
