BUYING A HOME ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD?
In addition to knowing how much you can afford on a monthly mortgage payment, understanding how much you’ll need for a down payment, Land Bank fee, and closing costs is another critical step. Buyers on Martha's Vineyard are required to pay 2% of the purchase price to the MV Land Bank. There is an exemption for first time home buyers, so be sure to ask me about that if this applies to you. Reach out for a copy of our Martha's Vineyard Buyer's Guide for more information and for our trusted lenders, attorneys, home inspectors and more.

We want our clients to know that partnering with us to buy or sell a home is contributing to something bigger than a house purchase on Martha’s Vineyard. Whether purchasing a home as a year-round residence or a summer vacation spot, we know all of our clients are interested in making the community of Martha’s Vineyard even more special than it already is. To that end, we have committed to making a donation to one of these three very deserving organizations at the close of each sale. We always ask our clients to choose, so if you're working with us, you'll have a chance to decide which organization you'd like us to support.

"Jen O'Hanlon is fantastic! My husband and I have worked with Jen for 3 + years. First, looking for an island rental for our family and then searching for a home of our own to buy. Jen has always gone above and beyond with helping us with our search. She is easy to talk to and has a wealth of information about the island to share! Jen patiently drove us around to various homes (from Chappy to West Tisbury and more), answered our many questions, readily responded to emails, texts, calls, and even picked us up at the Ferry when we were not able to get our own car over. Jen was instrumental in helping us finally find our dream home! She negotiated on our behalf and walked us through the entire process, even making herself available to meet contractors at the house when we were unable to. We have now had our Vineyard home for several months and the relationship is still strong. Jen continues to be a great source of information for us and has also successfully helped us with obtaining new summer renters for our home, which had no previous rental history. We highly recommend Jen to anyone looking for a home sale or rental!" - Caileen

"My experience with Jen O'hanlon was extremely professional, efficient, and overall amazing! I would recommend her to everyone who is seeking property at the Vineyards. I have had a few Real Estate transactions in the past but I rate my satisfaction with her services as a buyer's agent as one of the most reliable, accurate, proactive, and honest, in addition to, somewhat fun. The most interesting aspect was the fact that I only met Jen in person the day before the closing. Jen was out of town the day of my first call but that did not prevent her from orchestrating the showings of a few properties and she did a superb follow-up job every step of the way since day one.
Technology has helped our process but it is always the human being behind it that drives the force. Thank You Jen for all your help, kindness, and professionalism. You are truly an amazing agent!"

"Jen O'Hanlon is not only a phenomenal agent (dedicated, professional, and courteous) but also a really wonderful person. After a handful of summer rentals, we made a decision last year to explore purchasing a house on the Vineyard and were referred to Jen. Even though we lived in Los Angeles, Jen found us a cottage on a big lot within walking distance to Edgartown. She really went the extra mile for us. She got us in early, vouched for us as clients, and was instrumental in helping us secure the house. When we were off-island, she FaceTimed us so we could really get a feel for some of the properties. We couldn’t have done it without her and we are already planning to work with her on our next venture. She’s the best!" - Tim & Alicia

"Jen deserves 5 stars in every single category. Her knowledge of the Vineyard (and each of the nuanced towns and neighborhoods) is impressive. As first-time home buyers, she set our minds at ease with her expertise in the entire process. She's always just a phone call or email away. Jen's negotiation prowess and willingness to do a thorough market analysis helped us get the best possible price for the property we bought. No doubt about it, Jen will work extremely hard for you as she did for us. Aside from her professionalism and competence, she's just nice to be around. She brings levity to a process that can be extremely stressful and complicated. Simply put she is the best!" - Emily

"We first met Jen when we’re renting on the Vineyard. We were 1st-time renters and I called several agents at various agencies on the Island. Jen was the only one who called back. She then helped us get a rental, that initially I didn’t think would be a good fit, but turned out to be more than we ever could have expected. We fell in love with the Island and decided we wanted to buy. Jen was so hopeful working with us on that journey for over 2years and multiple offers. From picking and dropping us off at the ferry, sharing her local knowledge, and being an advocate for us, we realized just how valuable Jen was to making our dreams come true." - Mike
