Real Estate, Grounded in Empathy

Kieshia and Killan from Painted Skies Group discussing plans together

"When people face major life turning points, they do not need aggressive sales tactics. They need calm answers, genuine patience, and someone who understands the weight of what is happening."

Kieshia & KillanPartners & Advisors

We're Kieshia and Killan, a husband-and-wife real estate team based in Colorado Springs and proud members of the Painted Skies Group, led by Kieshia Mace. Between the two of us, we hold four advanced designations: Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE), Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®), Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource (SFR®), and Certified Probate Expert (CPE), because we believe specialized situations deserve specialized knowledge.

We entered real estate together with a shared belief that a home is more than a transaction, it is part of someone's life story. We were drawn to life transition real estate because we saw the need for compassionate, knowledgeable guidance during divorce, aging, probate, foreclosure, and other major life changes.

At Painted Skies Group, we help Colorado Springs homeowners understand their options, protect their interests, and confidently move forward into what comes next.

Our Purpose & Perspective

Why we focus on life transitions

Most real estate agents are trained to sell houses. We're trained to help people through the hardest transitions of their lives, and the house sale is just one part of that.

Whether it's a divorce, the loss of a parent, a hard financial season, or the decision to downsize after decades in a home, we know these deals move differently. They require patience, discretion, coordination with attorneys and financial professionals, and a steady hand.
