We recently purchased a house on Nantucket. Melinda Vallett was wonderful to work with and helped make our purchase possible. Melinda has extensive knowledge of all aspects of year-round life on Nantucket and accurate expertise in Nantucket’s unique real estate market including location, zoning, and pricing. She listened to our “wish list” of price, location, size, and layout, showed us a variety of properties fitting those parameters, and patiently helped us find a house that met our requirements. Melinda was helpful in negotiating the terms of the purchase, finding us a local attorney, and even offering great advice for furnishing our new home. Melinda has continued to be a resource for possible rentals of our property, as well as for general advice on island life.
I have been working with Melinda Vallett for 30 years, initially as our go-to source for rentals and eventually as our broker when we purchased our dream home on Nantucket. Throughout our time with her as a rental agent, we came to have tremendous confidence in her ability to recommend houses that would be best for our family as our children grew and our needs changed. Likewise, when we were ready to buy a home during what was a very tough market for buyers, she was able to find us exactly what we were looking for. Throughout the time I’ve known Melinda, she has consistently been one of the most responsive professionals I’ve ever worked with; it sometimes seems she replies to my messages before I’ve even hit send. She goes the extra mile and then some when it comes to serving her clients—lending her expertise gained through decades of experience on the island, combined with an energetic,…

Melinda is a true joy to work with and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
When we first decided to rent a home on Nantucket, I just sent a random inquiry in on the first website I saw. The amazing providence waiting for us on the other side of the computer was Melinda Vallett. She sprung into action finding our traveling group of 9, the cutest little cottage on Gay St. Then, year after year as our family grew, cousins were added, and she delivered time after time. Finally, after a decade of visiting this special place, she even found us the perfect home to buy. Her kindness, knowledge, and connections have made renting & homeownership 1,500 miles away from our home in Texas an absolute breeze. Not only that, but we found a lifelong friend in the process too. My daughters and their children (who knows hopefully their children) will be able to come to this special place year after year for decades to come, because of Melinda!
Melinda was wonderful to work with in finding our new home! We were new to the island and didn't really know the neighborhoods. Melinda took the time to drive us around showing us the communities and advising us on each area's specialties. Melinda took the time to understand what we were looking for refining the search based on our wish list and property feedback. Melinda was very patient during the search process and when we found two properties we really liked pointed out the pros and cons of each home and their locations. Once we finalized which home we wanted, Melinda was instrumental in helping us finalize the purchase price and closing process. Once we closed on the property, Melinda introduced us to many island service providers helping us create the best-of-class support team we were looking for. Melinda followed up with us several times to offer her assistance post which was won…

Melinda made the entire search, buy, and close process very easy and I would definitely recommend her when searching for a home on the island.
