Alissa Christie runs Bentley's - The RE/MAX Collection out of Newburyport, the firm she co-owns with Robert Bentley after their December 2023 move into RE/MAX's luxury division, and was named Newburyport's #1 individual agent by closed sales volume in RealTrends America's Best 2024. She focuses on luxury, waterfront and historic homes across Newburyport and Essex County, and a former career as a full-time attorney comes up unprompted in her reviews — one 2022 client specifically cited her legal background alongside her real estate experience as the reason they picked her over three other agents they interviewed. What repeats across five years of Google reviews (2021 to 2026) is availability: clients describe her as reachable at all hours and quick to answer questions, a point a 2018 web mention on capeann.com made the same way years earlier ("always made herself available, responded to emails and phone calls quickly"). Several reviewers mention working alongside her teammate Hannah on the buying side, and a few credit the listing marketing itself — professional photography, staging advice, and a coordinated campaign — for how their homes showed. Zillow's profile lists 43 sales in the trailing 12 months across a $159K-$3.2M price range, in line with a broker who handles both entry-level condos and the multimillion-dollar waterfront listings she's best known for. One gap worth knowing about: her Better Business Bureau profile is real but empty, carrying no reviews and no accreditation, so it adds nothing beyond what her Google reviews already show. None of the 30 reviews on file flag a problem with pricing, communication, or follow-through. For a Newburyport-area sale, or a search focused on the North Shore's higher end, she's a reasonable first call — just confirm up front whether she or a teammate like Hannah will be your day-to-day contact, since several reviews describe working with both.
“Co-owners Robert Bentley and Alissa Christie, as well as over 60 of their agents are making the move. The firm currently serves buyers and sellers in Essex County, the Merrimack River Valley and Southern New Hampshire.”

This is who you want to sell your house. We picked Alissa to sell our house even before we bought it. We had seen her in action at many open houses over the two years we were searching and knew that she priced to perfection and did as well as it was possible to do for her sellers. Fast forward a few years when it was time for us to sell I gave her a call. She provided clear instructions for what we needed to do to prepare the house for showing (which we followed exactly), orchestrated an excellent multimedia marketing campaign that presented the house at its best, priced it perfectly and ran a smooth sales process to completion. She is absolutely the best realtor in Newburyport.
Made everything very smooth and easy for us. Alissa's experience and knowledge of our area really helped us set our own expectations on how, when and how much to list for. She and her team also did a terrific job putting in the extra effort to showcase our home in the best possible light, through professional photoshoots (and reshoots as needed), staging advice and even providing staging items. In addition, her professional network came in handy when we needed referral expertise to not only work on areas of the house, but also the closing.
Selling Made Easy! Alissa made the whole process of selling my house easier than I could have imagined. She was very knowledgeable of the current market, made helpful suggestions on preparing the property for showing, put together beautiful marketing materials, hosted two very productive Open Houses, and provided ongoing communications with me throughout the process through the closing. I appreciated her positive energy and would highly recommend this bright professional to handle all real estate needs.
Alissa is amazing. She is very personable and passionate, and it shows. She had great ideas about how to better sell our home and got it done after the first showing. She is very knowledgeable. Closing was a breeze and was a great communicator. With us every step of the way. I’d recommend her and her team to anyone looking to sell.
Alissa was incredibly knowledgeable and well-versed in the market. Every home we looked at, it seemed she had represented either a buyer or seller on the same street (including our eventual neighbor)! We were one of several offers on the home, and Alissa's expertly recommended we include a use and occupancy provision in our offer, which ended up being the deciding factor in our offer on our dream home being accepted! I don't know if we'll have the need to move again but if we do we'll be working with Alissa!
