Meet Chris Bristol

Since 1999, Chris has called Montana home, a place where natural beauty meets an authentic sense of community. From the start, she embraced hard work, resilience, and the belief that success is built, not given. That mindset has shaped every step of her journey, with real estate at its core.

Her career began in lending in 2007, evolving into luxury finance and taking her from Montana to premier markets like Los Angeles, Jackson Hole, and Sun Valley. With over $350M in closed transactions, Chris offers clients an unmatched understanding of high-end real estate, financing, and long-term investment strategy.

But her edge goes beyond numbers. Chris studied Business Media Design at the University of Montana and successfully launched two e-commerce brands, giving her a sharp eye for presentation, marketing, and the emotional side of buying. She knows how to make a property stand out and resonate with today’s buyer.

To Chris, real estate isn’t just a transaction—it’s about aligning lifestyle with aspiration. Whether it’s a riverfront retreat, a sprawling estate, or a smart investment, she brings concierge-level service, strategic insight, and a deep commitment to excellence.

When she’s not working, Chris is soaking up Montana life with her husband, Ernie, and their three kids, Jazmine, Lillian, and Kiefer. Summers are for sunshine, time on the water, and Missoula’s vibrant arts and culinary scene. Having spent time in world-class cities, she knows Montana offers something rare: a balance of adventure, serenity, and soul.

For those looking to buy or sell in Montana, Chris delivers more than results; she creates experiences rooted in trust, intention, and the pursuit of the extraordinary.

"With every transaction, I strive to provide a luxury experience that feels like home by creating space for your next chapter, no matter the price point."
