“On behalf of John Stobart and myself, we would like to thank you Perry for your commitment and professionalism throughout the process of listing and selling the property on 31 No Summer Street in Edgartown. You made the process a painless and even enjoyable experience. The advertising and promoting of the building was first class and certainly helped to spread the word. As both Mr. Stobart and I are off island, he is in Florida and I am in Salem, MA your willingness to go the extra step in our absence was unfailing. We would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone either seeking to buy or sell on the Vineyard. It was a pleasure working with you.”

Response from Perry Patterson
Thank you very much for the great review, Sandy. One of the keys to my success (just as you mention) is going the extra step. It sounds so simple, but being responsive and then providing simple, clear guidance is something that is so critical during such a challenging and complex transaction. We also pride ourselves on the sophistication, elegance and class of the marketing materials that are part of the services utilized in the RE/MAX Collection of luxury properties. The downtown Edgartown market is highly competitive, so it’s always an honor to be chosen over other agents because of our reputation and the fact that we have as much, if not more, to offer than the other luxury brand brokers.
“We cannot thank Perry Patterson enough for his professionalism in handling our home purchase from start to finish. After seeing the listing, Perry graciously picked us up from the ferry to show us our dream home. He recommended a wonderful team from mortgage brokers, to lawyers, to home inspectors all who quickly took care of our every need. Being out of state is always difficult when purchasing a home, but Perry made sure all of our questions were promptly answered and he even worked with the seller’s agent to make sure we had all measurements for each room as we planned out our furniture list. Perry made sure nothing fell through the cracks and was wonderful to work with. If you’re looking to buy on MV, Perry is your guy.”

Thanks for the kind review, Erica. You and your husband were great to work with. Being able to match the speed with which you both operated was exciting! Surrounding myself with top-notch team members that understand the island is something that is critical to my success here on Martha’s Vineyard. And, it enabled us to complete your purchase smoothly, in record time, while both you and your husband were traveling elsewhere. Lastly, I was most gratified to be able to see all the fabulous renovations you made!
“Our family has been renting on the vineyard for over ten years. When we decided to finally buy, Perry Patterson at RE/MAX realty was instrumental in helping us find our perfect home away from home. From walking us through the process of buying a second home on the island when we live five hours away to helping finding contractors to perform work in the house, Perry made what would have seemed a daunting process fairly easy. We have five kids ranging from ages 3-12 and it was important to find a home that satisfied our needs and stayed within our budget. Perry was able to identify properties that fit our needs reducing the amount spent on properties that were not ideal for our family. We highly recommend Perry if you are looking to purchase on the island.”

Response from Perry Patterson
Thank you Chris and Margaret. Buying a second home, even in one of the top 20 best places in America for 2nd homes, can be a daunting prospect when it’s so far from home. But listening to your needs and you family’s needs and staying within your budget, is something I pride myself on, so I am gratified to have been able to make this a smooth and easy process for you. I hope you enjoy your vacation home for a very long time!
“Perry, I wanted to thank you for your efforts in selling my house. From pre-listing to closing, your help in the preparation of the house for showing and energetic marketing of the property resulted in a successful sale in 4 months. Again, thank you for the effort and interest you have shown in the sale of this property.”
– Brian Hogan, Martha’s Vineyard
Response from Perry Patterson
Thank you Brian. While it can be said you make your own luck, the fact that your house was in pristine condition and in a great location near Lake Tashmoo, certainly were major factors behind the speed with which we were able to sell your property. Pricing and marketing expertise were also contributing factors, as were my knowledge of the buyers’ agents working the area. Thanks for trusting us with your home!
“Working with Perry Patterson from RE/MAX on island in the purchase of our home in Martha’s Vineyard, MA was an absolute pleasure. He was attentive, knowledgeable and helped us to reach our goal of a fast-smooth closing. He made himself available at anytime and always arrived with a smile and professional demeanor. His calm approach to all of our questions and concerns and thoroughness was essential to us in the stressful process of negotiating and buying a home. Perry also suggested an outstanding home inspector as well as other important support professionals. I will always recommend Perry first and foremost to any of my friends who may be looking to purchase a home on Martha’s Vineyard.”
– Lucy Cox
Response from Perry Patterson
This is such a nice review, Lucy – thank you! I am so happy that you had a fast-smooth close – particularly when so many agents only create drama and add stress to an already stressful process. A calm approach and professional demeanor is really an art I’ve perfected over the last 25 years of successfully working with clients and transactions. Thanks again!
I would like to share my experience of house hunting and purchasing while working with Perry Patterson of RE/MAX. It had been many years since I had been involved in this process. I chose Perry as I felt he was honest and reliable. I wanted a house of my own to be able to spend more time on the island beyond shared time at our family house. Perry listened to my needs and showed me appropriate properties. He helped facilitate all the other players needed to complete a house purchase transaction. Perry is patient and professional; he filled my quest for answers at every turn. His work is thorough and timely. His helpful attitude and calm demeanor created a positive and seamless transition for me, from house hunter to buyer to new home owner. I would highly recommend Perry to anyone buying or selling a property on the Vineyard.

Response from Perry Patterson
Polly, thank you so much for the great review! It is perhaps the most highly valued accolade for a real estate agent to be recognized as being honest and reliable, in a business where that may not always be the case. Earning one’s trust to help them complete what is arguably one of the largest transactions in their life means a lot. I am sincerely happy for you.
