About Atlantic East
Our Story
In 2004 we saw an opportunity to form a distinctive office of committed, experienced and creative agents. We opened Atlantic East Real Estate in January 2005 at 8 Williams Lane with five professional and expert agents and extremely capable support staff. With the market at an all‐time high in 2007, we made a strategic move to re‐locate to town. In 2014, we purchased and settled at 82 Easton Street.
Always looking ahead, in 2011 we purchased the coveted URL: NantucketRealEstate.com and the company, Nantucket Real Estate and changed our name to Atlantic East Nantucket Real Estate.
Since then we have had the great fortune to attract the best agents on island to grow our company while sticking to core values of integrity, professionalism and treating others as we would wish to be treated. Which seems to be working!

A Team That Lives and Works on the Island Year-Round
Atlantic East’s team is deeply connected to the Nantucket community, not only through real estate, but through everyday life on the island. As year-round residents, they bring firsthand knowledge of Nantucket’s areas, seasonal ebbs and flows, local regulations, and evolving market conditions and building requirements. That perspective allows them to guide clients with the kind of insight that only comes from truly knowing the island and the people who call it home.

“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, 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!”

“Thank you for having such a gem of a person working with you and your homeowners. Nantucket is indeed lucky and fortunate to have Geri Walker promoting tourism and a positive image of Nantucket. She could not have been more knowledgeable about fulfilling our housing needs and more accommodating at helping us get into the perfect home. It was a real pleasure to work with someone whose primary interest was to find us what we wanted, rather than trying to get us into something that was easy for her.”

“That's why I like working with you. Higher standards!”
