I’m an Indiana native, top producing REALTOR®, mom, & Bloomington resident since 2008. Welcome to my real estate page!

For my full bio, please visit www.kristigibbsrealty.com. You know I sell real estate, but here are a few other things about me…when I have free time I like to work out, eat s’mores around the campfire, go on date night with my husband, and try desperately to have a green thumb. My family and my work team all enjoy supporting our community whether it’s through donations, sponsorships or volunteering. I love traveling and my family has found that a vacation to a dude ranch or a cruise are the best ways for us to disconnect.

A lot of people come to Bloomington in the fall to visit their kids at IU, catch a football game, enjoy the fall colors, attend an event or interview for a job. And you know what I hear pretty often? "I think I want to move here!"⁠
⁠
I get it. I've lived here for years, and I still think it's a pretty great place to call home and raise a family.⁠
⁠
A little glimpse of what fall looks like around here for our family:⁠
⁠
🏈 Cheering on the Hoosiers at IU football games.⁠
⁠
🍁 Weekends at our cabin in Brown County, enjoying the fall colors.⁠
⁠
🪵 Watching the tree carver work his magic in downtown Nashville.⁠
⁠
🎃 Somehow accidentally growing our own pumpkins!⁠
⁠
🚴 Seeing cyclists already training for Little 500 in the spring.⁠
⁠
❤️ Joining thousands of neighbors for Hoosiers Outrun Cancer, one of Bloomington's best community traditions.⁠
⁠
🍅 Still picking tomatoes from the garden in November!⁠
⁠
👻 Making the hour-long trip to Indianapolis for the Children's Museum's haunted house.⁠
⁠
It's that combination of a college town, a close-knit community, beautiful surroundings and plenty to do that makes Bloomington such a special place to live.⁠
⁠
If you've ever visited Bloomington and thought, "I could live here," I completely understand. ❤️⁠

You might be surprised how many buyers drive by a house before they ever schedule a showing. 🏡

And sometimes, they're sending friends or family to drive by and give their opinion, too!

That's why I encourage sellers to pay attention to the outside of their home, not just what's happening inside.

A freshly swept porch, trimmed landscaping, a clean front door, and a few colorful planters can make a big difference. You don't necessarily need an expensive landscaping project.

And if you've been meaning to finish that walkway to the front door or the half-built fire pit in the backyard, it might be time to tackle it.

I also have a few great landscapers I can recommend who are happy to take on smaller jobs, whether that's cleaning up overgrown beds, planting pots, or just getting everything looking its best.

My advice? Before you spend a bunch of money getting your home ready to sell, let's talk about which projects are actually worth doing. Some improvements will make a difference to buyers, and others may not be worth the investment.

I'm always happy to help you figure that out! ❤️

These sellers were building a new home, finishing up a few projects at their current home, and juggling busy lives with young kids. The thought of keeping the house show-ready and accommodating showings wasn't exactly appealing!

Their home also had a few quirks, so we talked through pricing, what improvements were worth finishing, and how best to approach the market.

Ultimately, we found a buyer before the home ever hit the MLS!

No constant cleaning, no juggling showing schedules, and a whole lot less stress for this family.

Selling off-market isn't the right approach for every property. There's real value in the exposure that comes with a traditional listing. But in this case, it was a great fit for the sellers' circumstances and goals.

There's not always one right way to get to the finish line.

And hearing that the process felt hassle-free to these sellers? That's exactly what I hope for with every client. ❤️

The highest offer doesn’t always win. 🏡⁠
⁠
While we aren't exactly in the height of multiple-offer season right now, I had several listings receive multiple offers this past spring and even into late summer. It's a good reminder that being prepared matters, regardless of the market.⁠
⁠
When a seller is looking at multiple offers (or even one offer), price is obviously important…but it’s not the ONLY thing that matters.⁠
⁠
Financing, inspection terms, earnest money, contingencies, closing timeline and even a buyer’s flexibility can all play a role in which offer feels strongest.⁠
⁠
For buyers, that means there may be ways to make your offer more competitive without simply offering more money.⁠
⁠
And for sellers, it’s a good reminder that the biggest number on the page isn’t necessarily the best offer for YOU.⁠
⁠
Every transaction is different, which is why having a strategy and understanding ALL the terms of an offer matters.⁠
⁠
Thinking about buying or selling in Bloomington? I’d be happy to help you navigate the details.⁠

Thinking about moving to Bloomington? Before you start scrolling through listings, I always recommend spending some time getting a feel for what it’s actually like to LIVE here. 🏡⁠
⁠
Walk around downtown and IU’s campus. Explore a few neighborhoods. Grab coffee somewhere local. Drive the route you’d take to work. Spend some time on the trails or out by the lake.⁠
⁠
The goal isn’t to see everything Bloomington has to offer in one weekend. It’s to start figuring out what parts of the city feel most like YOU.⁠
⁠
Because finding the right home is about more than bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage. It’s also about finding the right community and lifestyle.⁠
⁠
If Bloomington is on your radar, save this post for your next visit! And if you want help figuring out which neighborhoods might be the best fit, I’d love to show you around.⁠

Dividing your property isn’t always as easy as you might think!

My seller decided to separate 10 acres from her 40+ acre property, and what seemed like a relatively simple plan turned into a process that took nearly a year. Sheesh!

Creating this new parcel required a minor subdivision through the Monroe County Planning Department, coordinating with a surveyor, and even a public hearing. There were also existing deed restrictions that carried over to the newly divided parcel. And I am sure my seller would have more things to add to that list!

We decided to list the property while the subdivision process was still underway, knowing the timeline for final approval was uncertain. Fortunately, everything was finalized before we found our buyer.

One piece of advice I always give my clients: Never make assumptions about what you can or cannot do with your property. Whether you’re considering dividing land, building something new, or changing how a property is used, start by contacting the appropriate planning department and asking specific questions.

I’m grateful for my seller’s patience and persistence throughout this process and so happy we got this one across the finish line!

“Should I just wait until spring to sell?”⁠
⁠
It’s a question I hear often, and spring isn’t automatically the right answer. 🏡⁠
⁠
Fall can mean less competition from other sellers, motivated buyers and a chance for your home to really stand out.⁠
⁠
The best time to sell ultimately depends on YOUR situation…not the season.⁠
⁠
If a move is on your mind, let’s talk through the numbers and whether selling now or waiting makes the most sense for you.⁠

Everyone has those little things that make a house feel like home. 🏡⁠
⁠
So, let’s play a little This or That!⁠
⁠
🔥 Fireplace or backyard fire pit?⁠
☀️ Covered porch or sunroom?⁠
🌳 Wooded lot or big backyard?⁠
🏠 Cozy & traditional or bright & modern?⁠
⁠
Some of these are harder to choose than you’d think!⁠
⁠
Swipe through and tell me your picks in the comments. And if you could only choose ONE as a must-have for your next home, what would it be?⁠
