Martha’s Vineyard REALTOR® earns Resort & Second-home Property Specialist designation

Peter C. Fyler, REALTOR® Broker/Owner of SplitRock Real Estate, LLC, and an Exclusive Buyer Agent with 20 years of fulltime experience in the Martha’s Vineyard real estate market has earned the designation of Resort & Second-home Property Specialist. As one of the first 250 REALTOR® members nationally to earn the designation Peter is further distinguished as an RSPS Charter Member.

A recent National Association of Realtors® survey concluded there are more than 140,000 REALTORS® currently working in resort and second-home markets, and the numbers keep growing at a time when investment property and vacation homes make up a significant portion of the overall housing market, accounting for more than one-third of residential transactions.

Savvy buyers increasingly demand the expertise of a real estate professional with proven knowledge of resort and second-home market conditions, because 36 percent of second home purchases are more than 100 miles away from the buyer’s primary residence.
