I would think that she knew what kind of house the we like because it NEEDS HELP!! It was on the same street from the other house that we usually stay at and that house is very NICE and UPDATED! It Needs help from bathrooms, kitchen, outside work, ants and also to a smell from not being used. OLD I must say for 2400.00 and 200.00 for cleaning service. I say what cleaning service. Also, the trash not picked when said it was Tuesday. It looked like 2 weeks worth of it!!! It would have be better for no realtor at all. No help!! Also, when I went into get keys for the place She was sitting right there and didn't even introduce her self. Will never stay at 48 Windsor Drive in Edgartown Julianne

One could not ask for a more honest, responsive and genuinely kind landlady. We have had minor issues over the past two years (as is normal) and Adrienne has been quick to address. The communication is superb! Did I mention that my wife and I are executive property manager's? This gives us a qualified position from which to comment and evaluate. If Strawberry Hill RE is anything like how she approaches this rental, we would be extremely happy to use her for any real estate transaction. Andre & Tonja

Working with Overtoom Real Estate on Martha's Vineyard was very disappointing. The company is dusty…read moreand out-of-touch with technology and todays' buyers and sellers. Perhaps as a result of enjoying a long run on the island prior to the Internet and review sites like Yelp,com, Overtoom behaves as though they are in a vacuum with a rigidity and arrogance that is off-putting. We were selling in Massachusetts from San Diego, and good communication was key. Our problems began when we discovered ten days before the property listing went up, our realtor, Leslie, was being let go from the company. We were asked to begin again with a new agent after having invested most of the summer in dialogue with Leslie K. (a wonderful and enthusiastic younger Island realtor). Selling a home in Massachusetts from San Diego was no small feat. There was a lot of planning and synchronizing required in order to get contractors in and out, and to time all the repairs within a very tight schedule. We had spent nearly 2 months correspondence with Leslie to make this happen. We received news from Karen Overtoom that Leslie was being let go while on already on-island with a contractor I had brought with me from San Diego. Because Overtoom Realty had yet to spend any actual cash advertising our property, we suggested maybe it would be better for all if we continued working with Leslie, rather than having to bring a new agent up to speed during our crunch time. We had provided all the photographs, taken by a professional, so Overtoom had not incurred any hard costs up to this point. We presented this to company owner, Karen Overtoom, but she was unmoved and unwilling to let us out of the agreement. We accepted what happened as part of business, and gave Karen the benefit of the doubt as we began again with a new agent, "Brenda G." Brenda G. was unenthusiastic about our property from the outset, repeatedly suggesting the valuation of the house was too high. Not totally uncommon for an agent to say if the priority was a quick sale, but we prefaced all dialogue by explaining the sale was not forced and that we would simply revert the home to a rental property if the property could not get what we were asking (about 8% more than the agency had suggested). In the end, we were able to sell the house for what we wanted, within six months, so we were very happy we stuck to our guns and our own research and did not take their advice. We kept pointing out they were sending us "comps" that were not actually comparable, i.e. four bedroom three baths in our zipcode. To justify the lower suggested listing price, Brenda would send us property listings in other townships, or listings with fewer bathrooms, or without a detached outbuilding garage, or lot sizes that were quite different - not true comparable properties with actual matching demographics. After being "up" online for over a month, we discovered the listing on Zillow.com showed a pin marker in a totally different township, about fifteen minutes drive in a different area on the island. It was clear Brenda never bothered to proof the listing and there were inaccuracies in the text description for the property. The listing was unenthusiastic and unimaginative, and failed to mention a number of important selling points. We had asked Brenda to take a few "after" photos of the newly renovated kitchen to update the photos we had had taken previously by a professional. We saw the two photos she had taken of the new counters, leaving open boxes of Home Depot contractor garbage bags and various personal items strewn around. Very unprofessional and indicative of the care we felt she had for the listing. From the beginning, we felt the agency undervalued the house to make a quick sale, despite how we prefaced our objective. We insisted on a list price about 8% higher. Even with the discrepancy, we had a steady stream of interested parties from the beginning. And even with concessions made in closing, we were able to sell the house for far more than had we listened to what was advised. This company needs to learn they are no longer operating in a vacuum because they are located on Martha's Vineyard. They are a poor choice for middle class and lower income buyers and sellers. They provide weak communication and customer service and, in our experience, expend minimum effort selling your home (meanwhile asking the highest commission on the Island). Not recommended.

First red flag: in July 2022 they refuse service to anyone not wearing a mask, and they absolutely…read moredo NOT supply masks, but let you know what stores still sell them. Second red flag: during the July 2022 heat wave, they didn't have the AC on in the room we checked into. So it was over 90 in the room and only the room with the wall AC cooled off. The living room/kitchenette area was over 80 degrees well into the first night. Third red flag: my son dropped a Cheeto on the floor and it was covered in ants within minutes. Didn't see the ants before then, but they must have been there. Fourth red flag: room came with a roll and half of toilet paper. On the third day we were getting low so I went to get another roll. Receptionist said they only supply toilet paper on Mondays and Wednesdays. Any other day you want toilet paper you must buy your own. I asked more questions about that because it was such an inane thing. She said the toilet paper is locked up and that room is only opened on Mondays and Wednesdays and she didn't have a key so she had no toilet paper to give. Weird policy if you ask me. For hundreds of dollars a day it seems strange. I recommend you look else where. Fifth red flag: when I started writing this review, I looked closer at the policies (like maybe they tell you to bring your own toilet paper... they don't). Anyways, their listed policies providing your vaccine records to check in. Pretty scary in my opinion.

Bottom line there was no supervision at all. Never the same subs. Absolutely no pride taken in their work. Harbor homes put a wooden tent sign on our yard for advertising.

Highly dishonest, but worse, horrible builders!!!
