Client References for Marcel:
To anyone buying or selling a house in the seacoast area; If you are trying to buy or sell a property in the seacoast area I very strongly urge you use Marcel Bartley.
In the summer of 2010 we listed our house in Eliot, Maine with Marcel. We did just what Marcel told us to do, and WE HAD A FULL PRICE OFFER WITHIN 3 DAYS! We closed within 30 days, and I give Marcel full credit for bringing the transaction to a successful conclusion.
We did everything that Marcel recommended before listing the house, and I would urge others to follow his instructions too. He knows the market very, very well, and knows what it takes to make a sale in this real estate climate. Many times he has willing buyers that are waiting for the right property.
When Marcel told us the value of the property he was 100% accurate, and right now real estate pricing and accurate appraisals are crucial to getting financing to buy or sell a property. We have used Marcel for multiple real estate transactions over the last 15 years and highly recommend that you at least talk to him before making any real estate decisions.

Faced with an off-season job transfer out of state, our family turned to Marcel Bartley to market our home in South Berwick. Although the cards were stacked against us with a bleak housing market, the credit crisis, and a glut of homes on the market, Marcel guided us expertly through the process of pricing, marketing and showing our home. Within one week we had an offer and began the process of moving towards closing, all the while turning to Marcel for his expert advice. He is a true, full-time real estate professional.

Who knew that only one week after first talking with you, I would have chosen my first home! Thank you for the benefit of your expertise and experience. Your explaining the process up front and answering questions along the way gave me peace of mind – I knew I was making an informed decision. Thank you also for keeping the process efficient: you knew in which homes I was interested; scheduled convenient meetings; quickly answered communication; and more often than not, you answered my questions before I had a chance to ask them! I sincerely appreciate the time and dedication you invested into working with me so that I not only chose the right home, but also enjoyed the process!
Thank you,

Marcel Bartley assisted me when I was in the market for my very first home. After my experience with him, I now call him a ‘home angel’. He helped me in finding the best possible home, and didn’t stop there. When his job was technically finished, he continued to help me make sound decisions for my new home. He related to me in a warm, professional and charming manner, and always seemed to know exactly what I needed. When I though of selling my home, he spent hours with me discussing why I should not sell. Instead he insisted that I remodel, even though it was not in his best financial interest. He is a true professional, respectful, attentive, helpful and committed. I would strongly recommend him to anyone. I appreciate all that he has done for me and continues to do.

In a declining real estate market Marcel offered expert advice on selling our existing home. Within 3 days of listing our property with Marcel, we had appointments to show our home, 6 weeks later a signed contract, followed shortly by a sale of the property for the asking price.He listened to what we wanted in a new home and eventually introduced us to our dream home. Marcel followed up with us, sharing his knowledge of the local community helping to ensure that our move went smoothly.

It is not often that I express my pleasure in writing about someone who is simply doing the job he’s paid to do. However in the case of Marcel Bartley it would be a gross oversight not to do so.
My wife and I bought, lived in, and ultimately sold eight private homes in the last 60 years, each in a different part of the country and each with the aid of a different Real Estate Agent. While good, none displayed the knowledge of market, methods of reaching it, professionalism in displaying the property and skill in showing it as Marcel has in selling my last home. His frequent updates on how everything was progressing were particularly appreciated.
In the current “Down Market” this all was no small feat and the person who accomplished it deserves this additional recognition of his accomplishment!

Marcel- A quick note just to say thanks for helping our dream come true! We were lucky and pleased to have been able to work with you! You’re the best!

Marcel represented me and my sister in the sale of a family property. As I reside out of state, I was concerned about potential complications. At every point during the transaction, Marcel was knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. Without his guidance, the sale would not have gone as smoothly as it did. I would highly recommend him as both a buyers and sellers agent.
