For Kris Caldwell, adventure isn’t just a pastime – it’s a way of life. From trekking 80 miles through Colorado’s breathtaking Front Range to leading a top-performing real estate team in Denver’s surrounding mountain communities, Kris thrives on challenges that push boundaries. Now, he’s embarking on his next great adventure: moving his $200 million, 30-agent team to eXp Realty.
This transition, effective December 17, reflects Kris’s commitment to helping his team scale – as well as individually – and take advantage of opportunities with eXp’s innovative platform. (Read the press release here.)
Why Did Kris Choose eXp Realty?
For Kris, the decision to join eXp Realty came down to one thing: opportunity.
“I want my agents to have the best possible tools, resources, and environment to take their businesses to the next level,” Kris shared. “The eXp platform offers everything they need to achieve more, grow faster, and build sustainable success.”
Kris’s introduction to eXp Realty came from someone who knows him well: Matt Magee, a former member of his team who had transitioned to eXp years ago.
“I promised Matt that if I ever considered making a move, I’d sit down with him. I’m so glad I kept that promise. After diving into what eXp offers, I was amazed – it’s absolutely the right fit for me and my team,” Kris explained.
Quoting eXp Realty CEO Leo Pareja, Kris added, “As Leo says, it’s where ‘The Pros Go to Grow.’ That’s exactly how I feel as I’ve immersed myself in eXp’s culture and met so many amazing people at the brokerage.”
Moving on From Compass
Kris has been with Compass since 2018, where he led the #1 Mega Team in volume and units, according to 2023 RealTrends rankings. His team also ranked as the #1 Mega Team by sides in 2022. This track record of consistent success reflects Kris’s ability to inspire and lead high-performing agents while delivering outstanding results for clients.
Kris Is an Avid Mountaineer
Kris is an avid adventurer and takes on 80-mile backpacking trips every year, embracing the challenges and rewards of the wilderness. His passion for exploration mirrors his professional philosophy: always striving for new heights and pushing boundaries.
As the founder of The Apollo Group at Compass, Kris has built his reputation on open communication, collaboration, and professional expertise. His deep knowledge of Colorado’s Front Range and premier mountain communities – including Breckenridge, Frisco, Winter Park, and Granby – sets him apart. Whether it’s a serene mountain retreat or a vibrant urban oasis, Kris’s experience and dedication ensure his clients achieve their real estate dreams.
The eXp Realty Advantage
Kris highlighted eXp’s innovative model as a key reason for his decision. The brokerage’s comprehensive suite of tools, global reach, and collaborative culture align perfectly with his team’s ambitious goals. From advanced marketing tools to revenue-sharing opportunities and world-class training, eXp provides the resources to help agents thrive.
“eXp isn’t just a brokerage; it’s a platform for growth,” Kris said. “I’m excited for what this move means for my team and for our ability to better serve our clients.”
