Kris Bashenow is an Indianapolis-based luxury real estate advisor with The DeBoor Group, powered by Real Broker, working with buyers, sellers, and investors on high-value residential properties in the $700,000 to $2M+ range. She specializes in central Indiana's most architecturally distinctive neighborhoods, including Meridian-Kessler, Williams Creek, Meridian Hills, Herron-Morton Place, the Old Northside, and Downtown Indianapolis. Her background is in high-end property valuation, and it shapes how she works. She is the developer of RCPI, the Replacement Cost Pressure Index, a proprietary, quarterly-published framework that measures how rising replacement costs are reshaping the price floor under upper-tier Indianapolis homes. Clients use it to understand not just what a home is worth, but where the pressure on its value is coming from. Kris's view, sharpened over years in central Indiana's most nuanced micro-markets, is that liquidity in upper-tier real estate comes down to four things: location within the neighborhood, architectural alignment, lot characteristics, and whether the pricing makes intuitive sense to the next buyer. She works extensively with architecturally significant and historic homes across Marion, Hamilton, and Boone counties. Topics Kris Can Speak On Luxury real estate trends in Greater Indianapolis and the Midwest Why $1M+ homes sell or stall, and what sellers misread about pricing RCPI: how replacement cost pressure is reshaping luxury price floors Architecturally significant and historic homes in central Indiana Pricing strategy for luxury listings, including "event pricing" New construction vs. resale at the $1M+ level How architecture, location, and lot characteristics drive luxury value Sample Quotes "Luxury homes don't sit because they're overpriced. They sit because the value isn't obvious to the next buyer." "When replacement cost rises faster than sale prices, every existing high-end home is mispriced until the market catches up. That's the pressure RCPI is designed to measure." "At the high end, pricing is less about comps and more about clarity. If the market understands the value, the home sells. If it doesn't, it stalls." "An architecturally significant home isn't automatically a liquid one. The market has to understand why the architecture matters, and that's a story the listing has to tell on day one."

I didn't arrive in Arizona with a luxury real estate network. I arrived from Ukraine in 2011 with my family, a love for homes and design, and no roadmap for what came next. Everything I've built here, I built from scratch, in a new country, in a new industry, in a new language. That background shapes how I work. I understand what it means to start over somewhere unfamiliar and need someone you can genuinely trust. It's why my clients, whether they're local to Paradise Valley or relocating from overseas, tend to stay with me long after a transaction closes. Today I work as a luxury real estate advisor with the Grigg's Group powered by The Altman Brothers, a platform with over $9 billion in career sales across California and Arizona. I'm a member of the Top Agent Network, an invitation-only group limited to the highest-producing agents in the area. That membership allows me to run pre-market campaigns that create buyer demand before a home ever touches the MLS. Most sellers never see that kind of reach. My clients do. I hold the Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) designation through the National Association of REALTORS® and I'm currently completing the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) credential. I'm fluent in English, Russian, and Ukrainian, which puts me in a genuinely rare position when working with buyers and investors from outside the US. My listings have been featured in the Phoenix Business Journal and Phoenix Agent Magazine's list of the ten most expensive new listings in Arizona. I've listed estates in Paradise Valley at $12.5M and $13.975M, and I've appeared on camera alongside Josh Altman during property tours. I've also been covered by ABC15, Viva Phoenix, and international media for co-founding United4Ukraine, a charity I started with my husband after the Russian invasion of our home country. We've raised over $2.5 million for war relief. The work I'm most proud of doesn't always make headlines. It's the client who called years later to say I helped change their life. The deal that came together after everyone else gave up. The buyer who had lost multiple bidding wars before I found them the right home off-market and got it closed. That's the work that matters to me.
