About Us

Martha’s Vineyard Real Estate, and insider info from an islander’s perspective.About Us marthas Vineyard news.com

Kerry Quinlan-Potter has lived on the Vineyard for 11 years, moving here from Montreal after many summers as a part time resident. A background in sales and advertising, as well as her father’s life long real estate career led to a career in real estate.

Interest in the diversity of Martha’s Vineyard and concern over environmental issue spawned interest in pursuing green issues and ultimately a more sustainable life on the island.

The Vineyard is a thriving community of close to 15,000 year round residents to over 100,000 at the peak of the summer.

Though many of the Vineyard  industries are seasonal, we are by and large a home based community. Many businesses are structured around the selling, maintaining, building, beautifying and renovating of houses. I sell houses and my husband builds them. We also work togeusther to develop new ways to create green building options, and have created a LEED certified green modular.

A big part of Vineyard life is integrating nature and environmental policy into everyday life. The precious resources that are available here are fragile and as year round residents we have an obligation to the health and longevity of our environment.

Community is the most immediate and important thing that we do for our environment. We know and care about our neighbors, we share things and help each other. We turn to each other in times of need and in times of joy…less taxing on the environment, and way more fun for us!

Where do you find the time? It looks great. Is my husband the misfit toy or the happy character?

John-John Potter of the Skipper is the definition of a happy character. He can always be counted on for a smile and a warm greeting. A true Vineyard Ambassador and you are his noble (and tolerant) bride.

Hi All – You guys are doing a nice job here. I am wondering if you would like to repurpose your blog and post these in part or whole over on Vineyard Today. Write if you have any questions and keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Ezra
