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 Team in Newbury
We're Bentley's Real Estate (Bentley's | The RE/MAX Collection), a full-service real estate team serving Newbury, Massachusetts, in the Greater Newburyport market on the North Shore. If you searched for a real estate team in Newbury, here's what we'd tell you. The real estate team worth your time is already selling in your town every week, prices from real closed sales instead of guesses, and gives you one point of contact with a full bench behind it. Sellers tell us the local knowledge is what wins them over.
Bentley's Real Estate
The RE/MAX Collection
One clarification comes first, because search engines tend to blur these together. Newbury is a name shared by several places, and the right real estate team depends on which one you mean.
| Newbury (where) | State / Region | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Newbury | MA (North Shore) | Coastal town near Newburyport; our home market |
| Newbury | NH | Lake Sunapee village; a different MLS and market |
| Newbury | VT | Small Connecticut River town |
| Newbury | Berkshire, UK | English market town (Jones Robinson, Savills, Winkworth) |
This page covers Newbury, Massachusetts. For Newbury, NH, Vermont, or the UK, you'll want different agents and a different market, so confirm your town, county, and MLS before signing.
What our team does for you
Once you've settled which Newbury you mean, what does a real estate team change about the result? As a full real estate team of 60+ agents rather than a single desk, you get coordinated coverage instead of one busy calendar. We match you with a specialist for your price band and property type, backed by colleagues tracking what's coming to market and what nearby homes closed for on MLSPIN, the Massachusetts listing service.
| What you can expect | Why it matters | How we deliver it |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing from local sales evidence | Guesses cost you money | Comps from recent closed transactions |
| A real listing plan | Exposure drives price | Marketing to buyers circling Newburyport |
| One professional contact | You skip the runaround | A dedicated agent, whole-team support |
| Honest buyer advocacy | Overpaying is permanent | We flag an overpriced home before you bid |
If you're selling, we hand you a data-backed number and marketing that reaches active buyers. If you're buying, we move the moment the right home surfaces. Ask any agent, including us, for their last 10 closed sales with days on market. A real local real estate team produces that in minutes.
When a full-team brokerage fits (and when it doesn't)
A full-team brokerage like ours tends to fit when your timeline is tight, your waterfront home is hard to price, or you're juggling a sale and a purchase at once. A solo agent can be the better call when you want one close relationship and you're in no hurry. Not every sale needs a full real estate team, and we'll say so when yours doesn't.
- Advantages: coverage across price bands and property types; faster response when a Newbury listing hits; backup so your deal never stalls on one schedule.
- Plan around this: bigger firms can feel impersonal, so confirm your named agent up front, since brand size isn't the same as local skill.
Who we help in Newbury
A real estate team earns its keep on the volume of Newbury-area deals it carries to closing, and that volume comes from a specific set of neighbors. Plenty of firms claim the town. If you see yourself below, we're likely a good fit; if not, we'll point you elsewhere.
- Homeowners weighing a sale who want a real number, not a flattering one.
- Buyers trying to break into a tightly held town where the best homes move fast.
- Waterfront and marsh-side owners whose homes need an agent who understands flood, frontage, and the buyers who pay for a view.
- Families relocating in or out of the North Shore who want the process handled start to finish.
We're a woman- and veteran-owned firm, which is why we take relocating service members and VA-loan buyers seriously. Moving between Newbury and nearby Newburyport, Rowley, or Georgetown? We can carry the sale and the purchase together.
Our track record and rankings
When neighbors ask why they'd trust us with both sides of a move, we point to the record below. Bentley's Real Estate is the #1 real estate brokerage in Greater Newburyport.
| Proof point | Detail |
|---|---|
| Market position | #1 brokerage in Greater Newburyport |
| National ranking | The Wall Street Journal RealTrends The Thousand |
| Top individual agent | Robert Bentley, #1 agent in Greater Newburyport |
| RE/MAX standing | #1 RE/MAX agent in Massachusetts |
| Founded | 2016, by Robert Bentley and Alissa Christie |
| Scale | 60+ agents, hundreds of total transactions |
A spot in RealTrends The Thousand is a benchmark few brokerages reach. It's earned by getting Newbury-area deals to the closing table year after year. When comparing firms, weigh closed volume alongside review depth, because ratings across thousands of reviews are pressure-tested over the years, while a handful of five-star reviews isn't.
Straight answers to common worries
Some buyers and sellers still carry doubts, and we'd rather answer them plainly.
- "A big brokerage will treat me like a number." The reverse is true: one dedicated agent stays your contact, with a whole real estate team behind them.
- "Newbury is small; does a top firm even focus on it?" We do, because leading Greater Newburyport means knowing Newbury's streets and buyer pool cold.
- "Will you push a fast deal over the right one?" Our reputation is the asset we protect, so we'll tell you when a home is wrong for you.
You'll see other agents advertising too, from a solo agent named Jason to a regional brand like LAER Realty Partners. The fair test: who can talk about your specific pocket of Newbury without checking their notes?

Frequently asked questions
How do we help you pick the best agent in Newbury, MA?
Start with closed transactions in Newbury itself, not the wider county. Ask any agent for recent sale prices, days on market, and list-to-sale ratios from MLSPIN. The real estate team worth hiring pairs strong local Newbury sales evidence with clear communication and a real listing plan.
What is my Newbury home worth right now?
There's no honest number without recent comps. We price from homes that closed nearby recently, then adjust for condition, frontage, and flood exposure. A marsh-view home listed at $800,000 can settle above or below the figure offered, which is why we run these 3 checks first: recent closed comps, active competition, and pending deals.
Is Newbury, MA different from Newbury, NH or the UK?
Yes, completely. Newbury, NH sits near Lake Sunapee on a different MLS, and Newbury in Berkshire, UK is served by firms like Savills and Winkworth. We work Newbury, Massachusetts, so confirm the state before trusting anyone's data.
Can one team handle both your sale and your purchase?
Often, yes. Running your sale and purchase together lets us time them, coordinate financing, and lower the risk of owning two homes at once or none. One point of contact stays with you throughout your Newbury move.
