About

Kristen Babovec brings a personal approach, strategic insight, and attentive service to real estate across Dallas–Fort Worth. A REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Apex, she has ranked in the Top 10% of her brokerage for the past two years and earned the 2026 Rising Star Real Estate Agent Award from Five Star Professional. Her business is built on understanding her clients’ priorities, advocating for their interests, and helping them move forward with confidence.

With experience in Global Luxury sales and as a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, Kristen understands that exceptional properties deserve thoughtful positioning, compelling marketing, and careful attention to detail. She helps sellers showcase what makes their homes distinctive and guides buyers in evaluating properties that fit their lifestyle and goals. From luxury residences and new construction to first homes and downsizing, she brings the same commitment to preparation, communication, and personal care.

Kristen also holds the Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) designation, bringing specialized training and a compassionate approach to clients navigating their next chapter. Whether downsizing, relocating closer to family, or exploring a home that better supports their changing needs, she helps older adults and their families understand their options and move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Kristen’s background in education strengthens the way she serves her clients. With an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership, she knows how to listen closely, ask meaningful questions, explain complex information clearly, and anticipate where additional guidance may be needed. She helps clients understand market conditions, weigh their options, and navigate negotiations and contract milestones with clarity.

Having experienced numerous moves herself, Kristen understands that real estate decisions reach far beyond an address. They often represent a new beginning, a changing family, or an important life transition. She approaches each relationship with empathy, discretion, and respect, remaining accessible and involved throughout the process. Prospective clients are encouraged to explore her Google reviews to hear directly from those she has served.

Outside of real estate, Kristen is a breast cancer survivor, a seven-time marathon finisher, and a devoted family woman. The perseverance and determination that have shaped her life also guide her work on behalf of her clients.

Her philosophy is simple: “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care…and I care.”

Whether buying, selling, or relocating within Dallas–Fort Worth, Kristen offers knowledgeable representation and a relationship that extends beyond closing.
