Hi, I'm Christina Bannister — REALTOR®, proud South Florida native, devoted wife and mom, and your go-to guide for all things real estate in beautiful Vero Beach.
Born and raised in sunny South Florida, I earned my bachelor’s degree from Broward College, completed my teaching license in 2015, and pursued my Master’s at Florida Atlantic University. Life took an unexpected (and wonderful!) turn when I moved to Knoxville, Tennessee on a whim. I spent seven years enjoying four true seasons, incredible scenery, and—most importantly—meeting my amazing husband, Ethan, and growing our family.
Before real estate, I worked as a special education teacher, a role that taught me patience, problem-solving, and how to advocate fiercely for the people I serve. Those qualities naturally transferred to my lifelong passion: helping people buy and sell homes. In late 2020, I finally followed that dream and never looked back.
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of guiding dozens of clients in both buyer’s and seller’s markets. In just my second year, I earned a Top 10 spot in my office and became a multi-million-dollar producer in 2022. I truly love learning every aspect of real estate and using that knowledge to empower and support the people I work with.
In January 2023, after a family trip to Vero Beach, we knew instantly that this was home. We sold our Knoxville house, packed up, and planted our roots in South Vero. Today, my husband and I—along with our four beautiful children: Madison (11), Corbin (6), Isabella (3), and Lilia (2)—are grateful to be part of such a welcoming, vibrant community.
What truly sets me apart is my unwavering commitment to exceptional service and the Christian values that guide my life and business. Buying or selling a home can be exhilarating, stressful, or a mix of both, so I make it my mission to support my clients with honesty, clarity, and heart. Whether we're finding the perfect neighborhood, navigating offers, or preparing for a smooth closing, I’m always in your corner and always ready to go the extra mile.
I love getting to know my clients beyond the transaction. Building real relationships—learning your goals, celebrating your wins, easing your worries is one of my favorite parts of this career. My clients often tell me they appreciate my friendly personality, open communication, and the genuine care I bring to every step of the process.
When I’m not assisting buyers and sellers, you can find me enjoying family time, connecting with our Vero Beach community, collaborating with fellow professionals, or exploring all the amazing places that make this area so special.
Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or dreaming about your next chapter, I’d love to help you make it happen. Let’s start your real estate journey together!
