Top Realtor in Newbury

For us, being a Newbury Realtor is street-by-street work, and we are glad to show you closed sales on your block.

Local Knowledge Is How We Became #1

"Local" is not a slogan for us. It is how we got here. We know the difference a flood zone, a private well, a septic system, or a Plum Island ground lease can make to value and timing, because we transact across these streets most weeks of the year. The RE/MAX Collection side of our name gives your listing the marketing muscle of a global brand, while our Newburyport roots keep the pricing and negotiation grounded in what Newbury buyers will pay. A national franchise can offer reach, and a solo agent can offer close attention. We built Bentley's so that choosing one would not mean giving up the other.

We can walk through the last several deals we closed near your address.

A Team of 60, Not a Lone Agent

Walking you through those deals is rarely a one-person job. Our brokerage of more than 60 agents means your sale or search is backed by a deep bench. When your agent is in a bidding war or sitting at a late closing, someone on our side is still covering your showing, including the offer that lands at 7 p.m. That coverage stays quiet most of the time, and it protects your price on busy days.

• For sellers: a pricing strategy built on live Newbury and Greater Newburyport comparables pulled from MLS PIN (MLSPIN), the Massachusetts multiple listing service, plus professional marketing and hands-on negotiation.
• For buyers: early access to inventory and someone who can move fast when the right waterfront or new-construction home will not sit for long.
• For both: coverage that does not vanish on nights, weekends, or the week your agent is closing other homes.

Who We Serve in Newbury

We work with many kinds of Newbury buyers and sellers, so you will likely recognize yourself below. Our job stays the same for each.

• First-time buyers who want the process explained without jargon.
• Families trading up for more room near the Triton schools.
• Retirees and downsizers ready for a simpler floor plan or a single-level home.
• Waterfront and marsh-view buyers on Plum Island or along the river, where title, access, and insurance reward an agent who has handled it before.
• New-construction buyers who want an advocate from lot selection through the final walkthrough.
• Military families and VA-loan buyers. As a veteran-owned firm, we understand the paperwork and the timelines, and we know what it takes to get a VA offer accepted.

If you are selling and buying at once, we will help you map both closings before you list, since that is where equity quietly leaks away.

How the Market Has Voted

The simplest proof is what the market has already decided. Bentley's was founded in 2016 by Robert Bentley (Broker/Owner) and Alissa Christie (Owner/EVP). We are a woman- and veteran-owned firm that has grown into the market-share leader in Greater Newburyport and earned a place in The Wall Street Journal RealTrends The Thousand, a national ranking of the country's top-producing teams. That recognition reflects the volume of successful closings behind it, a record that comes only from doing this Realtor work well, right here in Newbury and across the North Shore.

When you compare rankings, look to the ones backed by closed sales volume, not ad spend. Production numbers are the honest scoreboard for a Newbury Realtor, and we are glad to be judged by ours.

The Cost Question, Answered Plainly

Many sellers assume a top brokerage charges more for the logo. Our aim is to net you more, not to cost you more. Here is the balanced view.

Why working with us tends to put more money in your pocket:

• Pricing built on live MLS PIN comparables, so your home is not underpriced or left to go stale.
• A buyer pool that sees your listing early, which fuels competition.
• Negotiators who protect your number instead of chasing a fast close.
• Coverage that keeps a $1,200,000 deal from stalling over a single missed call.

Honest trade-offs we want you to weigh:

• As a busy team, we may sometimes pair you with a supporting agent, always under one accountable brokerage.
• Our pricing is candid. We will not flatter you with an inflated number just to win the listing.
• We stay disciplined in bidding wars, which can feel slow when competition is hot.

Compare us on net proceeds rather than commission rate alone. A home that sells for more after smart marketing beats a cheaper listing that lingers.
