The size, story and success of modern day Great Point Properties is based on successful acquisitions and perpetual growth. Great Point Properties was founded as a small boutique real estate firm in 2002 by brokers Greg McKechnie and Bill Liddle. After sizable success in the company’s early years, the two small business owners expanded their vision for the company. Six years after opening their doors for business, Greg and Bill partnered with the founding broker of Sanford Real Estate Firm (est. 2003), island native Edward Sanford. The three men merged the two firms under the Great Point Properties’ name in 2008, creating one of the largest real estate companies on the island.

In 2013, Great Point Properties purchased Sconset Real Estate, the island’s sole firm focused on the unique characteristics of the Sconset real estate market. The company has been operating on the island’s east end since 1950 under brokers Carol and Bernie Coffin. Under Bernie and Carol’s continued guidance the Sconset office currently has five dedicated agents. Those agents have a wealth of experience and will be able to use the resources of Great Point Properties and the affiliation with Christie’s International Real Estate to enhance the client experience.

As a strategic measure to grow sales, Great Point Properties has developed a robust vacation rental business representing over 970 properties. We handled 1000 leases in 2017, and continue to focus on exceptional client service, as well as maintaining our online prominence and making consistent investments in local print advertising. The direct result of these efforts has enabled Great Point Properties to become a leading sales office on the island. In 2017, Great Point Properties was one the most active firms on Island (there are 40 active real estate offices on Nantucket). In 2017 we totaled $327,229,225 in sales volume or 36% of all transactions and closed 116 transactions or 31% of all deals.

Our steady growth is a direct result of the collaborative and innovative environment at Great Point Properties and Sconset Real Estate. Our high level of attention to detail and knowledge is seen in through every interaction. We strive to provide unparalleled service, which delivers results when it comes to buying or marketing property on Nantucket.
