Krystal Keck is a highly accomplished real estate broker, educator, and leader with a reputation for dedication, integrity, and results-driven service. Krystal started her real estate career in 2002. Now with over two decades of industry experience, Krystal is recognized as one of the most committed and credentialed professionals in the business.
In 2020, Krystal earned her Florida Broker’s License and expanded her real estate footprint by launching a second KORE Team office in Fort Myers with Jones & Co Realty, bringing her vision and leadership to the Southwest Florida market. She also proudly serves as the Principal Broker of Jones & Co Realty’s Ohio office, a role she’s held since 2021. Krystal originally obtained her Ohio Broker’s License in 2014, the same year she founded The KORE Team.
Krystal’s academic achievements are equally impressive. In 2016, she became the first REALTOR® in Ohio to earn a Master’s Degree in Real Estate (MRE) from Columbia College, with a concentration in Residential Sales, Marketing, and Brokerage Management. She is one of only 35 agents in the U.S. to hold this distinguished degree.
Krystal is a designated member of the National Association of REALTORS®, Ohio REALTORS®,
Krystal is also a member of the Royal Palm Coast REALTOR® Association and the Medina County Board of REALTORS®. She has served on the Board of Directors for the Medina County Board of REALTORS® from 2013–2015 and again from 2018–2021, reflecting her continued commitment to leadership in the industry. Her dedication to professional development is evident through an impressive list of certifications and designations:

Due to military transfers Krystal’s career path has taken her across the country — she has held a real estate license in Virginia, California, Ohio and Florida. She has gained experience with top brokerages in every state she has served. After years of success as a solo agent, Krystal recognized the power of teamwork and set out to build something bigger — a real estate team focused on collaboration, service, and results. She envisioned a supportive environment where agents could thrive professionally and personally, with more control over their schedules and family life — what many call true balance. In 2014, she brought that vision to life by founding The KORE Team.
Today, The KORE Team operates in both Northeast Ohio and Southwest Florida, specializing in residential sales, relocation, military transfers, new construction, investment properties, and more. Together, they continue to raise the bar for service and success in every market they serve.
Krystal has always been committed to raising the bar in the real estate industry. Backed by years of hands-on experience and an impressive list of credentials, she has consistently ranked among the top producers in her markets — a reflection of her work ethic, client focus, and deep understanding of the business. Her drive for excellence naturally led her to share her knowledge with others. In 2010, Krystal began teaching continuing education courses for licensed agents in Ohio, blending real-world insight with practical guidance. In 2023, she was honored to be selected as a member of the Florida REALTORS® faculty, where she now teaches continuing education to agents across the state. Shortly after, she earned her Florida real estate instructor license (ZH), and by 2024, she began teaching pre-licensing education, helping adults launch new careers in real estate.
Krystal and her team are known not only experienced and educated, but they are also known for their market expertise and for their compassion and professionalism. Clients often comment on their warm personalities and the personal attention given throughout every transaction.

Our experience with Krystal selling our home was fantastic from beginning to end. She was thorough, knowledgeable, and thoughtful with us throughout the process… She explained every step of the process and was always available to promptly answer our questions and provide reliable advice. She also got us exactly the price we were hoping for on the sale of our home. I would recommend her without hesitation, and there is no one else we would choose to work with in the future.

When it came to buying our first home nobody came more recommended than Krystal and her crew at The Kore Team. They were unbelievable friendly, knowledgeable and patient. Not only were they great at finding us a home but they also work with an amazing home inspector and financing companies. Her team truly made buying a home a stress less process.

I loved how the KORE Team was so easy & readily available to work with. Anything that I didn't understand, they were able to explain so that I could understand. They took a lot of stress off my shoulders with any negotiations. Also, paperwork was very quick and proficient. I loved how a lot could be done online which was very flexible with my busy schedule.

As first time home buyers with a VA loan in this market it seemed like it’d be impossible for us to find a home that checked all of our boxes. The KORE team was patient and extremely responsive with us. We were able to get a 3 bed 2 bath pool home that we absolutely love! Krystal and Christine are the perfect duo!
