About Me

2023 National President, Women's Council of REALTORS

Licensed in Idaho since 2007 and originzlly from the Chicago area, Chris relocated to Idaho (by way of Manhattan) seeking a lifestyle change and greater connection to the outdoors...and that's just what she found!

Chris has built upon her passion of guiding clients through the potential pitfalls and inherent risks in the real estate process and now also mentors other agents in growing their own businesses and rising to their full potential. Chris founded simpLEE HOME® on the belief that marketplace reputations matter, empowered agents can be change agents and leaders in their communities, and a ‘community first’ mindset benefits our neighbors as well as the economic success of our region. Here we seek to partner with agents who reinvest their time, talents and funds right back in our shared community and to be the ‘go-to’ brokerage our neighbors turn to when they seek to buy or sell…with the goal of bringing greater prosperity across the board.

Chris has seized the opportunity to leverage her experience in local, state and national industry leadership and is a committed and trusted community leader, currently serving the Idaho Falls Redevelopment Agency. Prior service includes serving as a founding member of the Idaho Falls Police Foundation (Treasurer), the Idaho Falls School District Facilities Steering Committee, the Idaho Falls Police Department Facilities Evaluation Committee (Chair), the City of Idaho Falls’ IDAHome project (to increase housing choices across the City of Idaho Falls). She has spoken locally about housing at events for the City, Rotary, the Idaho Innovation Center, REDI (Regional Economic Development for Eastern Idaho), the Urban Land Institute and was recognized in 2021 as a recipient of the Mayor's Choice Award for Community Enrichment in Idaho Falls.

Chris is honored to have been recognized by her peers as the 2018 REALTOR® of the Year by her local Association. She is a licensed broker in Idaho and Wyoming.
