From the first time we met I knew she was the right realtor for selling my house as well as buying our new house.

Real Estate Agency in Newbury
Short answer: Bentley's Real Estate is a locally rooted real estate agency serving Newbury, MA and Greater Newburyport. It is best suited for buyers and sellers who want an agent who reads this stretch of the North Shore fluently. We are part of The RE/MAX Collection, and we hold the #1 market share in Greater Newburyport. Most of our clients would rather see closed numbers than a sales pitch, and that is where we start.
Bentley's Real Estate
The RE/MAX Collection
When people search for a real estate agency in Newbury, the difference that matters is fluency. An Old Town colonial and a flood-zone home on Plum Island ask for different judgment, and a Byfield building lot asks for something else again. We are glad to walk them with you.
What Bentley's Real Estate does, and for whom
We are a full-service real estate agency built for Greater Newburyport, with Newbury inside our home turf. Robert Bentley, the #1 individual agent in the area, founded the firm with Alissa Christie. That is what makes us woman- and veteran-owned. Ask for Robert, Alissa, Jason, or any of our 60-plus agents, and the same negotiation and pricing discipline follows.
- Sellers get pricing built on current, closed sales data rather than guesswork.
- Buyers get help finding a Newbury home in context, from the Boston commute to coastal exposure.
- Waterfront owners get the marketing reach of The RE/MAX Collection.
Plenty of our clients arrive mid-move from Boston, Chelmsford, or NH, and the right approach shifts from one property type to the next.
Newbury property types worth weighing
Newbury covers a wide range, and the price band depends on the segment.
| Segment | Typical price band | Key factor buyers miss |
|---|---|---|
| Byfield new construction | $700,000+ | lot, septic, build timeline |
| Old Town colonial | $600,000 to $900,000 | age, systems, street value |
| Plum Island waterfront | $1,000,000+ | flood zone, tides, coastal rules |
| Condos and downsizers | $400,000 range | fees, MLSPIN days on market |
Coastal exposure is the cost buyers underestimate most often. Flood insurance and elevation certificates can swing a Plum Island sale, and rebuild rules add more. That is why we price that risk alongside the view before a listing goes live. Those details are easy to miss, so clients lean on our daily read of the Newbury market.
How our team actually helps
Our advantage is depth paired with reach. With 60-plus agents in this market daily, we track Newbury inventory, pricing shifts, and buyer demand as they move, often before they surface on MLSPIN. You get a real estate agency's coverage with one point of accountability, plus steady follow-up through our LAER conversation cadence and trusted lending partners.
What a top-share local real estate agency gives you
- Data-backed pricing from real, closed transactions.
- The right specialist for your situation from a deep bench.
- The RE/MAX Collection reach for higher-end and waterfront homes.
What we plan around together
- The best homes tend to sell fast, which is why we line up pre-approval early.
- Waterfront due diligence takes longer, so we build extra time into coastal purchases.
Once that plan is set, our first focus depends on the move you are making.
Buyer and seller game plan
| You are a... | What we prioritize | Why it matters in Newbury |
|---|---|---|
| First-time buyer | Budget and commute | Boston access drives resale demand |
| Trading-up family | New construction terms | Byfield lots move on timeline |
| Military household | VA loan timing | Tight relocation windows reward speed |
| Waterfront buyer | Flood and elevation data | Details decide the deal |
| Seller | Market share pricing | Overpricing burns your best two weeks |
Why searchers choose us
Those priorities are easier to trust when the results back them up. We hold top market share in Greater Newburyport. Our leadership team has been recognized in The Wall Street Journal RealTrends The Thousand, and The RE/MAX Collection sits behind our luxury listings. We are the locally owned real estate agency headquartered here, which is why a big brand rarely turns into an impersonal handoff. To compare us with a national name, ask any agent for their closed share in Newbury. Most sellers reach that conclusion once they see the numbers.
