Margaret was wonderful. Knowledgeable, accommodating, and hard-working, she helped me get a great deal on a house that was perfect for me. I cannot praise her enough for the work she did!

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.

As a first time home buyer, Margaret is an outstanding realtor. She is very thorough in all documents. She answers all my questions that I am not sure of. If I don't understand some of the terminology, she takes time to explain it to me and my spouse. She always there for you throughout the whole process. She is very professional and knowledgeable on her job. I will highly recommend her for home buyers.

If Margaret Bartlett is selling your house she is on it! She is driven, manages many things all at once and has integrity. Her local knowledge and resourcefulness cannot be beat as well her ability to assess situations and offer up solutions to quickly get things done. I would recommend Margaret for those buying and selling a home and appreciate all of the energy, enthusiasm and personal care she put in with my home sale.

Margaret, beyond a doubt has been the best real estate agent I have ever dealt with. She assisted and guided me throughout the home buying process with knowledge of the area, understanding my needs and wants, and most of all, making a long distance move go smooth as silk! I would recommend her and her services to anyone seeking to move to the New Bern, NC area!

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 is one of the most professional, personable and dedicated realtors I have had the pleasure to work with. She made the home buying experience seamless, and effortless. She was both honest and straight forward, throughout the process off searching for, and closing on a home. I would highly recommend her to anyone wishing to purchase a home in the New Bern area.

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.

We love it here & have some fantastic neighbors....thanks to YOU....listening & leading us here to Trent Woods....
You are a one of a kind broker and we are thankful we got YOU...as ours!

Margaret was professional, low-key and super easy going through the entire process. I bought my last home over 20 years ago so a lot had changed in that time. Margaret was knowledgeable, steady and responsive. I would absolutely use her again and will recommend her to friends without hesitation.
Thanks Margaret!

Margaret is great! She is easy to talk to, very knowledgeable of New Bern real estate, and sold our house quickly. I highly recommend Margaret Bartlett!

MARGARET is very experienced realtor who helped me find the perfect house. She listens to her clients needs and provided valuable knowledge of the market. She went above and beyond her responsibilities with helping me purchase the home. I highly recommend her.

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 \u201Cneeded work\u201D 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!

Working with Margaret was an awesome experience. She is very knowledgeable in the real estate industry and she always gave me honesty which I appreciated above all. I strongly recommend her services to anyone looking to place their house on the market. Job well done...
11/01/2018 - Patrick M .
happy & dependable service! Easy to work with & was willing to meet with me on the weekends & after business hours. Thank you for all the help!

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.

I would like state how pleased I am to have Margaret as my realtor. The process of finding a home was nearly instant and once I determined which home I wanted to buy, she made the transaction seamless and problem free. She is very communicative via email, text messaging and phone. Very responsive and looked out for my best interest. I never made a request that she did not respond to in a very timely and accurate manner. I would definitely recommend Margaret to any of my friends without hesitation or reservation.
11/01/2018 - Shirley A.
Margaret was wonderful. I had so many doubts and questions and she helped me through everything. I found the perfect house for us to enjoy our retirement in. Margaret went above and beyond what I ever expected. Not only did I find the best realtor, I also gained a friend. Thank you again...
11/01/2018 - Mary V.
Margret is well informed ant truly listens. She found the perfect place based on my wants and needs. I will be recommending her to my friends looking for a realtor in the future!
11/01/2018 - Nancy H.
I was referred to Margaret by a friend who is also a Realtor (retired) and it worked out GREAT! Margaret found me my perfect home - I LOVE IT! She also was able to sell my previous home in a short period of time so I was quickly able to settle in without the worries of owning two homes.
11/01/2018 - Chris B.
The best realator I have ever had. Any questions or issues I had Margaret found the answer.
11/01/2018 - Ellen W.
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.
11/01/2018 - Brandy and Daniel C.
As remote owners, Margaret was very instrumental in helping us sale of our home. She listened carefully to our concerns and worked to understand our limitations. She gave us candid feedback when we asked for it and went out of her way to help us prepare our home for the sale. She kept us informed throughout the process and successfully negociated the sale of our home within prespecified acceptable terms. Margaret was very professional throughout the process and we highly recommend her services.
11/01/2018 - Bernice L.
Margaret is savvy. She knows EVERYTHING about New Bern neighborhoods. Margaret is responsive. She genuinely cares about what you want in a house. Margaret is ethical and reliable. She is upfront about all aspects of home buying, real estate requirements, and what a buyer needs to know during each step of the process. Most importantly, Margaret cares. She was concerned with helping us find the best-fit home and area for our price range and interests, and did her best, beyond and above. to help us find our home here. She.Is.The.Best.
11/01/2018 - Deb S.
Working with Margaret was truly a pleasure! She was a great help and helped me find the perfect house. I highly recommend her!
11/01/2018 - Linnea M.
Margaret was very helpful with preparation for sale. She looked at every aspect of the home and property and helped prioritize maintenance and repair to get the house on the market quickly and effectively. She provided a list of maintenance business we needed, and we were very satisfied with the quality and value we received. We found Margaret to be flexible and accommodating working with our schedule. Through Margaret our property was reviewed by several real estate professionals whose feedback supported our decision making process. I highly recommend Margaret and Coldwell Banker.
11/01/2018 - Les and Diane G.
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
11/01/2018 - Brad F.
Wow! Outstanding service. Margaret answered any questions quickly and if she didn't know found the answer and got back to me. Great follow up. Thank you.
11/01/2018 - Nancy B.
There is no better realtor in New Bern! If you want the best service from someone who is knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with then Margaret is your person to call. She works diligently to provide you with the best advice so you can make an informed decision on what may be your biggest purchase and she is with you every step of the way. Honest and forthright, we could not have asked for more out of a realtor!
11/01/2018 - Jim and Crisann G.
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.
11/01/2018 - Tiffany B.
Margaret is a hard worker, trustworthy, and really knows the market. She was so helpful with our recent property purchase and really helped us to make a smart purchase. I would definitely recommend her to buyers.
11/01/2018 - Vana P.
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.
11/01/2018 - Ericha T.
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.
11/01/2018 - Katherine J.
Margaret helped my husband and I find our dream home! As first time home buyers she took the time to explain the home buying process, answered all our questions, listened to our concerns and was available when we needed her. She is so personable, professional and it is clear she enjoys what she does. It was truly a pleasure to work with her!
11/01/2018 - Marisa P.
Margaret made buying my first home and experience that I would love to repeat, except I love my home too much! She made everything simple, fought tooth and nail to help get me approved, recommended excellent inspectors and even the attorney for the final papers. Margaret helped me find a neighborhood that I felt safe in, showed me around town and even extended a neighborly hand and checked up on me to see how things were going. I was brand new to the area, and I cannot express my immense gratitude for Margaret's professional knowledge as well as her personal dedication, and for her welcoming and personable nature!
11/01/2018 - Kim O.
Margaret is awesome! She worked out every detail during the very short time we had available to look at property in Fairfield Harbour. She reviewed flood zone maps and answered all of our questions, helping us to find exactly what we were looking for! And working out the closing date to fix our busy schedule, we were truly impressed, closing just 29 days after making an offer on our home!
10/06/2018 - ksteve02

Margaret did a fantastic job making our first home buying experience quick, easy, and stress-free. She was always available to answer questions and was very knowledgeable!
09/01/2018 - cbelangia
I highly recommend Margaret Bartlett! She sold 3 properties of mine in 7 months! She is very knowledgeable, stayed in constant contact with me, and worked extremely hard to market these properties. And it paid off! I never thought I would move them so quickly and the selling prices were all within market value. Margaret is a beast! Simply amazing!

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. Thank you Margret you are what makes New Bern so special
08/27/2018 - Seth Miller
Margaret was an amazing and friendly realtor. She always kept us up to date with new information from the buyer's agent even if it was later in the evening to help mitigate around my hectic work schedule. She answered all of our questions & concerns with sometimes going out of her way to do so. I highly recommend working with Margaret as you won't regret the efforts brought forth by her to achieve the results you desire.
08/22/2018 - Daniel Frey
Great follow up and follow thru! She executed 4 contracts to get us our sale!
She was very honest, upfront, and prompt and respectful. If we sell another house, Margaret will sell it.
07/04/2018 - lismith6
We recently used Maragaret to purchase a home in New Bern. Maragaret was very thorough in answering our questions, represented us well, and helped us secure the home for a very fair price. We had a last minute repair needed to the home and she quickly located a contractor so that settlement would not be delayed. We would highly recommend her.
07/02/2018 - Matthew
Margaret was a great realtor for me and my wife! She was always there to answer any questions and concerns we had about the area/houses that we looked at and was always very quick to respond! She was always so friendly and if she didn’t know the answer at the moment she was always willing to look into it for us! My wife and I would highly recommend her!
07/02/2018 - Jack Frisina
If you're looking for an agent you can truly count on, one who will go far beyond the "extra mile"...look no further! Margaret Bartlett worked hard for us, keeping our particular needs in mind and watching out for us in the purchase of our home. Margaret stayed on top of every aspect of our search, our offer, our contract and lastly...our purchase! We've worked with many agents over years and years of home purchasing...but she was THE BEST EVER! Thank you, Margaret!
