Buying a home or choosing an insurance policy shouldn’t feel like you’re being passed around a giant, faceless call center. If you live in Fayetteville or around Fort Bragg, you know this community moves to a rhythm all its own. Between the military PCS cycles and the unique historic charm of our neighborhoods, “cookie-cutter” advice just doesn’t cut it.
At The Barge Group, we decided to do things differently. By bringing real estate and insurance services under one roof, we’ve created a “neighborly” approach that simplifies your life from the day you start house hunting to the day you sign your closing papers—and every year of homeownership that follows. With a team that brings over 80 years of combined experience to the table, we aren’t just service providers; we are your advocates in a complex market.
1. The Power of “Under One Roof”: From Search to Signing and Beyond
Most people think of buying a home as a series of disconnected chores. You find a realtor, then you find a lender, then you scramble to find an insurance agent before the closing deadline. It’s a lot of moving parts, and if one person drops the ball, your whole move can stall.
We’ve eliminated that friction. Because we handle both real estate and insurance, our teams work in lockstep to make your experience seamless.
A Connected Home-Buying Journey
When you work with us to find your home in Fayetteville, our insurance side is already looking out for you. We can provide a coverage review or a quote the moment you fall in love with a property, ensuring there are no “insurance surprises” (like a roof age issue or a high-risk flood zone) that might impact your mortgage approval.
Long-Term Stewardship
Our relationship doesn’t end when you get your keys. We stay with you through the “living” part of homeownership. Whether you need to update your policy after a kitchen renovation, or you’re ready to list your home for a future PCS move, you have one trusted team that already knows your story and your property.
The “Insure2Close” Peace of Mind
For those working with lenders, our Insure2Close program is designed specifically to prevent closing day bottlenecks. We provide same-day binders and ensure all documentation meets lender standards so you can focus on packing your boxes, not chasing paperwork.
2. An Independent Edge with 80 Years of Wisdom
In a world of “big-box” insurance websites, there is a massive advantage to working with an independent agency. We don’t work for one specific insurance company; we work for you.
Choice and Flexibility
Being independent means we can shop multiple A-rated carriers to find the best balance of coverage and cost for your specific situation. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer on a budget or you need to protect a high-value historic home in Haymount, we have the flexibility to find the right fit.
Local Expertise You Can’t Google
With 80 years of experience, our team has seen it all—from the changing North Carolina insurance laws to the fluctuating real estate trends near Fort Bragg.
. We understand:
- The Fayetteville Market: We know which neighborhoods are holding their value and which ones offer the best commute to base.
- Regional Risks: We factor in Fayetteville’s specific storm seasons and wind/hail requirements so you aren’t left with a gap in protection.
- Military Realities: We understand that “home” is a temporary station for many, and we specialize in the flexibility that PCS timelines require.
3. Clear Guidance for Every Stage of Military and Civilian Life
Whether you are active duty at Fort Bragg or a long-time Fayetteville resident, the “right” move is often a moving target. We pride ourselves on providing clear, grounded guidance that cuts through the noise.
Navigating the VA Loan and BAH
For our military neighbors, we don’t just “show houses.” We help you understand how your Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) can be leveraged for homeownership. We can help you calculate a realistic budget that accounts for insurance, utilities, and taxes, so your “max comfortable budget” actually stays comfortable.
Strategic Real Estate Decisions
Is 2026 the year to buy, or should you wait? Our real estate team looks at the big picture—moderating home prices, inventory levels, and interest rate trends—to help you make a decision-driven move rather than an emotional one.
Protecting Your Growing Assets
As your life changes—new kids, new cars, or a new business—your protection needs to keep up. We offer more than just home and auto insurance. We provide:
- Life Insurance: Helping military families understand why the standard SGLI coverage might not be enough to protect a spouse’s “invisible” contributions.
- Liability and Umbrella Protection: Safeguarding what you’ve worked so hard to build.
- Business Insurance: Supporting local Fayetteville entrepreneurs as they expand.
Start 2026 with a Team You Trust
Whether you’re buying your first bungalow, looking for a military-friendly rental, or just want a second set of eyes on your current insurance policies, we’re here to help.
