About Us:

Martha's Vineyard Real Estate sales and rentalsSandpiper Realty, Inc. of Martha's Vineyard was founded in 1969. We are an established agency of professionals with a longstanding and very personal interest in and commitment to the Island. Our 35 year history of excellent service has earned us an industry wide reputation of integrity and professionalism.

We offer a full range of real estate services including traditional seller representation, buyer brokerage and real estate investment counseling.

Additionally, we have an affiliated, full service rental office that offers a substantial and very diverse inventory of seasonal rental properties (see Sandpiper Rentals). And, should our buyers choose to rent their property for all or part of the season, our four full time, experienced rental agents will provide a smooth transition from homebuyer to landlord. The online software program and rental website is comprehensive and readily accessible.

Our credentials include our standing as the exclusive Martha's Vineyard member of the Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate Board of Regents, an elite advisory counsel for a network of real estate firms specializing in global luxury real estate. This is an acknowledgement of our expertise in and dominant market share of the sale and rental of luxury properties on the island. The Who's Who website, LuxuryRealestate.com, is the most used web resource for buyers of luxury property worldwide.

As a member of LINK, the multiple listing service for Martha's Vineyard, we are able to offer our buyers the ability to access information on all Island properties for sale at any given time.  Additionally, as members of the Cape Cod and Islands Multiple Listing Service, we are able to offer our sellers the exposure of REALTOR.com, now nationally recognized as the most often used online real estate resource.

All of our sales agents hold several professional designations which is validation of both their level of experience and their commitment to the industry. The personal credentials of all of our agents are provided. We are also pleased to provide references upon request.

Our Philosophy

Our success in serving our clients is evidenced by nearly 40 years in business and by the many client testimonials you will find on our agents' pages. The keys to this success are simple – our agents are experienced, knowledgeable, credible and ethical.  Unlike many of the sales agents working in the other 86 real estate agencies on the Vineyard, all of our agents are full-time, career agents - they're not bartenders, car rental clerks or tennis pros working in real estate as a sideline. And our agents invest time in furthering their knowledge through real estate specific education; many of them hold several professional designations.

These are characteristics and responsibilities we take very seriously and strive to practice every day. We truly believe that after working with us for a short period of time, you will understand the difference between our service and that of our competitors. Both seasoned real estate investors and average homebuyers choose to work with us time and time again and to refer others to us.

We offer a full range of services including traditional seller representation, buyer rokerage and real estate investment counseling.

Reputation is the ultimate key to success in real estate as referrals are by far the best advertising available. Therefore, we understand the importance of doing everything possible to satisfy your needs and expectations. We take a true consultative approach when dealing with our clients and seek to understand their needs and goals. We seek to provide helpful answers, practical solutions, and unparalleled value.

Many changes have occurred in the real estate industry during our 40 years in business. We understand the need to keep up with those changes. For example, today the majority of real estate buyers begin their search on the web and most sellers understand that internet marketing is far more effective than any form of print advertising. You will find our website at the forefront of other agencies on Martha's Vineyard.

However, you also recognize that information on a website does not replace the knowledge of an experienced REALTOR®. We welcome you to contact us without obligation. We respect your privacy and will courteously answer your initial questions without the need of names or any type of registration.

SERVICE WITH INTEGRITY SINCE 1969

Testimonials

"I would just like to state that after practicing real estate law for 25 years and dealing with countless brokers, the best and most professional broker I have ever come across happened to be the one I dealt with in connection with my purchase of a home on the Vineyard. Sherry Purdy resolved problems that seemed insurmountable in a calm and practical manner. She held together a deal that had fallen apart many times and I am sure that without her I would still be looking for our dream home on the Vineyard. Although I hope to never sell our new home, there is only one person I would call if I did sell and that would be Sherry." R. Brooks

 "You are a true professional! Thank you for your help." K & R Rubin

"Thanks for all you did to make the sale of our Chappy house happen. If it hadn't been for your expertise, patience and guidance, and willingness to be flexible and try to work things out, I am sure it would not have happened. It took your creative thinking and financial help. It took your listening ear and problem solving. You are truly a wonderful person, Sherry, and we are very grateful to you." H & L Oliver

"I really enjoy working with you and would be interested in partnering on another project. You are absolutely top shelf."  A. Wilson

"This is to express my appreciation for all your efforts in bringing the sale of our property on King Point to a successful conclusion. Throughout the whole process, I knew I could depend on your good judgment, tact and experience."  T. Armour

"Thanks for your professionalism, now and in the future. The Vineyard is a special place and people like you make that so."  J. King

"Sherry, thank you. Jill and I appreciate all of your efforts in getting the job done. You made it a fun and enjoyable experience."   T. Durovsik

"I would just like to say that I have never, with all the properties I have bought and sold, had a Realtor so professional and so detail oriented. It was a pleasure doing business with you."   G. Christman
