Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?
After finishing a degree at Winthrop University in 2005, Christie made Savannah her home. In 2007, she completed a Master’s degree in Historic Preservation from SCAD. Her first job was in commercial construction, which she intended to be a long-term career. Unfortunately, the 2009 recession ended those dreams, and a brief career in property management led her to obtain her real estate license in 2012.
Growing up in Hartsville, SC, Christie was inspired by her father, who was in the construction industry. She enjoyed visiting historic homes with him and witnessing their restoration firsthand. Christie’s parents were constantly working on a project at home; they were the original "flippers" before it became a trend. She completed her first flip in 2013.
Christie spent six years as the top agent at a large firm in Savannah. In 2022, she decided to start her own brand. She teamed up with long-time friend and colleague, Jonathan Haley, and her husband, fellow realtor Patrick Bergen, to create Salt Marsh Realty.
Ratings & Reviews
Christie helped us purchase our first house! Since we were first time buyers, we had a lot of questions. She went above and beyond to make sure we understood everything before making our final decision to buy our home. Christie is very personable and fun to work with. She is knowledgeable about neighborhoods, their projected trends, and was honest with us through our entire homebuying process. I can't imagine working with someone else for such an important purchase and step in our lives! Will absolutely recommend Christie to anyone in need of a realtor and can't wait to work with her again in the future.
Christie was a pleasure to work with - as a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions and nerves
about various parts of the process; Christie's calm
and confident demeanor kept me feeling the
same! Christie has a vast knowledge of Savannah
and how it is growing and changing and
represented me and my interests well.
Christie Bergen and her team are the Best! This is our second time working with Christie. First time as a seller in 2022 and this time as a buyer. Christie tirelessly showed us over 50 properties in our year long search for the perfect home. Her knowledge of the Savannah market, attention to detail and negotiation skills made sure that we bought the right home, at the right time for the right price. Many Thanks to Christie and her team of professionals for making the home buying process stress free!
Very professional and a pleasure to work with.
Salt Marsh Realty was professional and easy to work with from start to finish. We would definitely use them again!
