I cannot recommend Margaret highly enough. We used her for both the purchase of our second home and the sale of our first home. Over the several months it took us to get our first home ready to sell, Margaret kept us informed about what was available in our price range that met our criteria for the new home. She never pushed a single property or encouraged us to stretch beyond our means. She kept the process simple and easy for us, and was always direct about what we needed to do and what the next steps would be. Her advice was invaluable, and having her in our corner meant that any concerns we had were addressed quickly and satisfactorily. She communicated regularly through text, email, and phone calls. I cannot overstate Margaret’s work ethic, her friendly attitude and professionalism, or her straightforward and steadfast commitment to her clients. With Margaret as your realtor, you are sure to find the right buyer, or the perfect property, and enjoy a successful closing!

My siblings and I owned a family farm which we decided to sell. Margaret did a wonderful job of listing and selling the various properties. She was always consistent with showings and keeping us all informed throughout the entire process. She worked tirelessly in an effort to find the right buyers and close the deals. She was positive, pleasant, timely, easy to communicate with, and successfully navigated through the complexities of the different personalities involved in our family.
I was very impressed with her knowledge of real estate, the current market, the necessary required documents, as well as the entire process. There was never a question I asked that she couldn’t handle. My siblings and I would not hesitate to enlist Margaret’s assistance in the future, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a positive thinking, hard working real estate agent who will work diligently until the job is done.

She is professional and friendly; she is always available by phone or text -- she is just GREAT! I would highly recommend her and there just aren't enough stars to rate how excellent she is!

The thing that impressed me the most about Margaret is she was always positive. She never complained about any snags or difficulties we faced. She was too busy finding creative solutions to whatever problems we confronted. And, I emphasize that it felt like a team process, that we were really working together. That was so reassuring to me.
I was interested in selling a small home my parents had owned and kept as a rental. Since I don't live in New Bern, there were so many small things Margaret took care of, like finding someone to clean up the back yard and keep the lawn and shrubs tidy in front. She even tried to negotiate a deal with the current tenant, which fell through.
Through the whole process, she took everything in stride. I felt totally confident that she could handle any issue and keep me informed as we went along.
In the end, I walked away from the table with a check much larger than I expected, and she achieved this by being diligent, assertive and honest. I can't say enough good things about Margaret Bartlett. She is amazing!

We hired Margaret to sell my late father’s home In New Bern, which is 800 miles from where we live. She not only was efficient and professional, but went way above and beyond by helping us to donate furniture, market and stage my fathers home when we couldn’t physically be in New Bern.
My husband and I have bought and sold many homes as we’ve moved for jobs all across the country. Margaret Bartlett is by far the best realtor we’ve ever worked with. She’s a gem!

I was connected with Margaret when I started the process of buying a house from out of state. We started our process in Washington State December of 2019, and ended the process with me buying a house in Feb 2020. I gave Margaret what I wanted for my dream house, and she came back with 10 different listings. Every house we looked at I would ask roughly twenty questions and Margaret almost always had an answer. If she did not have the answer, Margaret would get back to me within the day. I was thankful for this because, as I am a first time homeowner, I was nervous about this whole process. Margaret has plenty of local knowledge, as one of the days that we were looking at houses she took me around New Bern and showed me what was there and what it was about. Margaret is very passionate about her job and her buyers. She wants what is best for you and won’t be afraid to fight for it either. I will be recommending her to all future employees as they come down to this state.

Margaret was absolutely wonderful in selling my sister's home. While very professional, we established a warm relationship that included give and take in a relaxed manner. Being an out of town seller, Margaret was not only able, but she was willing to take on some of the tasks that I would have normally done on my own. She was always responsive and ready to give to or get information for me. The home was perfectly priced, we had a very good "under contract" period, and the home closed as scheduled with no drama. I would heartily recommend her to represent either a buyer or seller. By the way, I NEVER encountered any pressure from her from the moment I met her through the entire process. Very refreshing.

Margaret has been so helpful and knowledgeable of the process in buying a house. She was able to keep me on track with the steps involved. She was helpful when I asked for suggestions on not only for mortgage companies and home insurance but also local issues on road construction right down to great restaurants and a handyman in the community. She was quick to respond to emails and phone calls. She was able to work with the sellers agent and find out any questions I had. I would highly recommend Margaret for your next move.

I’m not sure if it’s fate or a greater power but we are so thankful that we randomly found this wonderful person to be the catalyst to our searching of a new home. Margaret listened to our story, showed empathy and ensured us we would find our perfect home that would fit all of our needs and within our budget.
After looking at many homes that “needed work” she informed us of a home hitting the market that same day. It was perfect for us and move in ready!
She gave us many options but ultimately connected us with a great inspector, an even better mortgage company and assisted us in asking the right questions while negotiating what we felt were the biggest needs with the seller. Margaret kept us confident, calm and made this huge process painless!
There is no way we would recommend anyone else with the confidence we have in Margaret Bartlett. She is the one! The one you need during a time like this. Thank you so much for being a part of our continued story and blessing us with such a beautiful home!

There is so much behind the scenes work that you don't get to see your realtor do: sifting through interested parties for the people who are serious, or have the funds, about buying, advertising, scheduling and then there's the visible work. If you weren't sure Margaret was working hard for you before you will then. Margaret was there for every step of our up and down selling journey. Every time we hit a bump in the road she was there with solid advice, a silver lining and another option. When it got down to the nitty-gritty she was willing to roll up her sleeves and help us get the work done. Ours was a hard sell, but she did it. One buyer back-out, one seller back-out, an unexpected and disheartening inspection, structural engineers, roofers, pest control, it was a fight every step of the way. But she sold it: top dollar sold, all the boxes checked, all the legal stuff completed- did it. We were blessed to have someone as dedicated as Margaret on our team. If you want someone fully invested in you, your interests and your family's future- she's the one you want.

Margaret was amazing as she tackled a difficult old house and a difficult seller. I wasn't at all sure she would be able to sell my house and she never let me know she couldn't. I had visions of this house being on the market for years but Margaret got it sold in 2 months. I was astounded! She was steady as a rock and kept me calm. Her positive attitude made me look forward to hearing from her. If any one asks me if I know a good realtor they could use, I will recommend Margaret without hesitation.

Margaret is an outstanding relator. She listens to you and builds a portfolio of homes for you to review. She is the type of person you would want to consider you friend when you move to New Bern. Having sold a house in Connecticut and buying one in New Bern there is no comparison between the realtors. She is very knowledgeable about the local area and besides housing she can suggest insurance mortgages things to do. and events to help you meet people. I have referred people to Margaret and will continue to do so. Margaret is great

One of the most enjoyable buying experiences working with Margaret. Relocating back to my home state i found her local knowledge, who to contact for outside work, asking a lot of questions from seller (s) very prompt on returning phone and email questions, and taking the time to insure we were on the right track to get the best quotes on any outside work, insurance requirements, and making you feel like this was the best choice on location and value.

I have known Margaret since before she became a realtor and know she is passionate about Ghent, where I lived. Other realtors tried to get my business but I knew that Margaret could spot a Ghentian anywhere. And she did. She knew just the person to call and sold the house. I was thrilled that another tree hugger and plant lover moved into the home I loved so much.

We called Margaret from an online ad months before coming to New Bern. A week or so before our trip we were surprised to get a call from her to touch base. After visiting several towns to look at properties we arrived in New Bern to meet with Margaret. She quickly zoned in on what we were looking for and we put in an offer. The seller was not quick with responses, to say the least, but Margaret reassured us throughout the process and with determination got the deal done. It was like working with a sister. We got so used to saying "Thanks Margaret" that we were compelled to have a shirt made saying just that. Thanks so much Margaret, we couldn't have done it without you.

I had the best realtor, I interviewed several and Margret and I just clicked. I looked for over a year from out of state. During that time I was also compairing it to another state location I was interested in. First I want to say that I am a Real Estate Agent as well. So I know what I expect in an Agent and she exceeded my expectations. She was very patient, kind, knowledgeable and available. I really thought she would give up on me but at lass a house that I saw a year ago that was not currently on the market was calling to me. I love New Bern. I was making a big lifestyle change and Margret has been there to point me in the right directions. Even after the Closing she continues to be a great recourse for contractors ,shopping and things to do. She has become my first friend in New Bern and I happy to call Home now.
