Kristen has always been guided by a deep sense of purpose. When she moved to Denver in 1996 for graduate school, her calling was clear — she earned dual master's degrees in Counseling and Youth Ministry and built a career as a therapist focused on at-risk youth. She worked with runaway teens at Urban Peak, launched a nonprofit to support inner-city families, and poured herself into work that created real impact.

What she didn't expect was that real estate would become another path to serve. By her early 30s, Kristen had bought and held multiple properties — her first home, a mountain retreat, and eventually a string of rentals. She saw how real estate could be a tool for creating generational legacy, and in 2006 she got her license.

Kristen is the visionary — extroverted, driven, relationship-focused, and always thinking big. She handles everything from lead generation to listings to negotiations, and her intuitive understanding of what buyers and sellers truly need is what keeps clients coming back year after year.

Originally from the Chicago suburbs, Steve moved to Boulder to attend CU and graduated with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. He spent several years in New York City working for CBS and ABC Sports, helping produce the Super Bowl, the British Open, and the Athens Olympics before returning to Colorado as a traveling producer for the Golf Channel.

By 2010, Kristen's real estate business had grown well beyond part-time — and they were ready to start the adoption process. They wanted a life built on flexibility and presence. So Steve got his license and joined Kristen full-time. The Le Peau Team was born.

Steve is the steady hand — introverted, organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure. He manages every transaction from contract to close, overseeing timelines, communication, documents, and logistics. His meticulous attention to detail is what makes the process feel seamless.
