Chelsea Bristow, REALTOR®

My commitment to the Sussex County area runs deep! Born and raised in Delaware, I spent summers working on the beaches, starting with my first job in Rehoboth Beach at age 14. For many years, you could also find me keeping swimmers safe as a Dewey Beach Lifeguard.

Even though I left Sussex County for college, I still stayed local, graduating from the University of Delaware as a proud Blue Hen. After college, I lived in both New York City and Annapolis, Maryland but something was missing. Though I was loving the life I was building, I realized my true home was in Sussex County.  

By returning home, I am continuing my family’s long legacy of serving our area. My grandfather, John “Jack” Allen worked as Sussex County’s Planning & Zoning Commissioner for more than 35 years. Growing up in a service-oriented family, I developed a deep-seated passion for the local real estate market and the people who call our beautiful area home.

Buyers and sellers alike receive quality service that only a local can provide. My clients are constantly blown away by my personalized, professional, and enthusiastic service. 

When I am not showing homes and closing deals, you can find me surf fishing on the beach, biking around downtown Rehoboth Beach, coaching lacrosse, or enjoying the many delicious ice cream shops that line the Sussex County boardwalks. I also gives back to our community by serving on the Sussex County/Southern DE Advisory Board for the Ronald McDonald House. 

Working for one of Sussex County’s biggest real estate brokerages is a true full circle moment for me. I feel so lucky to live where thousands of people come to vacation. I love helping others find their place in our beautiful laidback beach communities. If you want to have fun finding your new Sussex County property, give me a call!
