EAST DALLAS REAL ESTATE GROUP - Key Persons


Britt Lopez

Britt's passion for helping people and her knowledge of the Real Estate business are evident the first time you meet her. Having called Dallas her home for the past twenty years, she has passion for the neighborhoods, homes, and the people that make Dallas a special place to live and work. Her success has been fueled by a solid sales and marketing background, her focus on market knowledge and expertise, and her uncompromising determination to surpass each of her client's highest expectations. In her own words, "What makes me a great Realtor? Truly understanding what my clients need and understanding what they are going through during this time of transition to a new home. You can be the top market expert and have tons of sales and negotiation experience, but, if you don't make that ‘connection' with your clients, you really can't provide the highest level of trusted advice and consulting that they hired you to provide." Britt has consistently been a top producing real estate consultant and multi-million dollar producer since she entered the business. She has also volunteered her time and energy to the community by serving on the Board of Directors for the Lakewood Early Childhood PTA, the Hollywood Heights Home Tour committee, Lakewood Service League, and her church. She graduated from Austin College in 1988 with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts. She is a licensed Realtor since 2002 with a Historic Homes Specialist Certification from Preservation Dallas as well. Britt was later selected to join the MetroTex Association of Realtors Leadership Class 17 and also served as East Dallas MLS area representative for two years.

Michelle Chism

Job Titles:
  • Real Estate Agent
When she's not thumbing through wallpaper books or contemplating a bathroom reno, Michelle is a real estate agent but prefers to be called a storyteller. With nearly two decades of experience in strategic marketing communications and a lifelong passion for interior design, she became a Realtor to help home buyers see the potential story that might unfold in an overlooked property and to help home sellers tell their story with the right staging and marketing - so they can move on to their next chapter. Michelle understands a home is one's most important investment and should be a place of refuge that evokes joy and energy. Her philosophy as a Real Estate agent is that buying a home isn't about the next step up, but the next right step.

Risa Jordon

Risa Jordon exemplifies the adage, "constraint forces creativity." She is at her best when she's presented with a challenge to find a very specific property or living situation to address the multitude of transitions in the lives of her clients. In her 13 years as an agent, Risa has become the resident expert on Lake Highlands real estate. She has personally lived in all three Lake Highlands zip codes and considers it an honor to help a seller bid adieu to a beloved family home, or help a new buyer discover the magic of Lake Highlands or something in between. She is deeply empathetic to every phase of the buying and selling process, and this shows in a business she's built on referrals.

Robyn Kurpiel

Job Titles:
  • REALTOR
Robyn Kurpiel first became interested in real estate when she and her husband had a stellar experience buying their own "home, sweet home." Robyn was inspired by her agent's relaxed, yet informative approach throughout the entire home-buying process.

Robyn's approach to real estate is focused around exceeding her client's needs and taking care of them from Day One and beyond closing. She understands the complexities of buying and selling homes as well as unique personalities involved in the transactions and has the ability to guide and negotiate through the process. With Robyn as your Realtor, you can rest assured you will always be treated like family and she will have your best interest at heart. Originally from Marietta, Georgia, Robyn is a huge fan of all things Southern. She graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Family Studies and studied abroad in Spain.

In her free time, Robyn enjoys yoga, traveling and drinking good wine. Robyn has carved a niche in the competitive Dallas real estate market as a fierce advocate for buyers and a rock-solid negotiator for sellers because she never stops looking out for her client's best interest.
