Here is what our clients have to say about us…
Our family had been vacationing on the Vineyard for 10 years, and I had gotten into the habit of reading Fred Roven's newsletter, while dreaming of one day buying property. That day came as my daughter and I sat on the dock in Oak Bluffs at the end of the 2004 season, and I realized that the inheritance I'd recently received would be enough to make our dreams come true a bit ahead of schedule. Soon after, I contacted Fred, asking him to send us information on homes in Edgartown, where we had rented every summer. He did, as well as tools to calculate monthly expenses. This was all done by e-mail, so that when we visited, we'd see only those homes we were truly interested in. Along with the Edgartown properties, Fred sent two from Vineyard Haven and said to just take a look, they were really special. And they were. We selected one as #1 instantly, just from the photo and description. And when my husband and I walked into the house on my 50th birthday - Fred had arranged our house hunting according to our favorites - it was love at first sight. We joked afterwards that it must have been the fastest sale he'd ever arranged. But it was more than fate. Fred took the time to understand our needs and wishes, and sent the information accordingly. Fred advised us on how much to offer; introduced us to our attorney, caretaker, and mortgage counselor; and helped us negotiate acquiring the house's furniture. He basically made the process as smooth as it could be, and at all times, we felt that he had our best interests at heart. We are certain that we made the best possible choice - in the property and in the realtor.

My husband and I started to look for property on the Vineyard nearly three years ago but after an offer that we made fell through, we were discouraged. We didn’t hear from our realtor again and lost interest in the prospect of owning a second home. When we met Fred Roven of MV Buyer Agents, we felt like we had found our advocate. Fred listened to our priorities; he understood our financial boundaries and sought to satisfy our specific needs. He paid attention to small details and was instrumental in closing our deal. He persevered when we became complacent and invigorated us when we lost interest. The process was smooth because we had Fred looking out for us and we are truly grateful for his skills, sense of humor and extensive knowledge of the Vineyard.

Our experience w/using a buyer's agent was an extremely valuable one, since we were buying a house in MV remotely from NJ. Being a NJ real estate agent myself, I know how agents can push their own listings on prospective buyers despite the better interest of the client. After getting to know and trust Fred, and vice versa, I actually bid on a few houses, sight unseen, just so I wouldn't miss out on a great opportunity. He never wasted my time and acted as my eyes and ears on Martha’s Vineyard for almost a whole year before I bought my house. I recommend him to everyone!

Gina and I thank you so very much for all you did working with us overthe last 18 months. We are indebted to you for having helped us realize ourdream of owning a house on the Vineyard. Gina first suggested the idea almost 15 years ago (and as always, I wish I had listened to her then!) but it never would have actually happened without your help and perseverance. Thank you for also going beyond the "call of duty" and helping with so many of the ancillary matters to the actual purchase. It has helped enormously in easing some of the burden of doing this across time zones
