For Referring Agents
Utah Agent Referrals
If another agent sent you this link, they were being careful about who handles your Utah move. Here is who I am, what I do differently, and what to expect. No pressure and no obligation to work with me.
If your agent sent you here
Someone you already trust just told you they would not hand your Utah move to a stranger off the internet. That is a good instinct, and it is worth respecting on this end too.
So this page is deliberately not a sales pitch. It is the short version of who I am and how I work, so you can decide whether I am worth a phone call. If you talk to me and someone else feels like a better fit, take the better fit. I would rather you end up with the right agent than the one who got to you first.
The short version
I have been licensed in Utah since 2003 and have closed more than 1,000 Wasatch Front transactions. I run the Kris Bowen Real Estate Group with LPT Realty. My work has been covered by the Wall Street Journal, Redfin, Realtor.com, Inman, KSL, KUTV, ABC4 and Yahoo.
None of that sells your house by itself. It is context, so you know who you are talking to.
The part that actually matters
Most agents will tell you they are full service. Very few can show you what that means before you sign anything.
Mine is written down. It is a documented 163-step process across nine phases, from pre-listing preparation through post-close follow-up, and we run it on every listing regardless of price. You can read the whole thing before we ever speak:
The 163-Step Home Selling Process
That is the fairest way I know to compare agents. Ask every agent you interview for their written process. If someone else hands you something comparable, you are in good hands either way. If nobody can, that tells you something worth knowing before you pick.
What happens next
- A phone call. Fifteen minutes, no presentation. You tell me about the move and I tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it.
- Questions answered before decisions. Timing, pricing, what needs doing to the house and what does not, and what you are likely to net.
- You decide. Interview other agents. I expect it, and it usually makes the decision easier.

For the referring agent
If you are the agent sending a client this way, here is how I handle it.
- Referral agreement signed up front, before I speak with your client.
- Updates at the milestones, not on request: listing live, under contract, inspection resolved, appraisal in, closed. You should never have to ask your client how it is going.
- Your client stays your client. I am handling one transaction in Utah. I am not going to farm your database or chase their next move.
- A straight answer if it is not a fit. If your client needs something outside what I do well, I will say so and help you find the right person instead of taking it anyway.
I send business the other direction too. If you are outside Utah and want to be on the list I call when a client of mine is heading your way, reach out.
Utah Agent Referrals FAQ
Frequently asked questions
-
What does it cost to be referred to Kris Bowen?
Nothing to you. A referral fee is paid between the two brokerages out of the commission at closing, and it does not add to what you pay or change your negotiated rate.
-
Do I have to work with the agent I was referred to?
No. A referral is an introduction, not a commitment. Interview whoever you like, including me, and pick the person you are most comfortable with.
-
What areas does Kris Bowen cover in Utah?
The Wasatch Front, which covers Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, Summit and Wasatch counties. That includes Salt Lake City, Sandy, Draper, Lehi, Provo, Park City, Heber City, Layton and the surrounding cities.
-
How are referring agents kept in the loop?
A signed referral agreement up front, then updates at the milestones that matter: listing live, under contract, inspection resolved, appraisal in, and closed. You should never have to ask your client how it is going.
-
What price ranges does Kris Bowen work in?
All of them. The team works with first-time buyers, move-up sellers, downsizers and high-end listings across the Wasatch Front.
