I'm Peter Fyler, owner of SplitRock Real Estate. I'm a seasoned real estate broker with over 20 years of full-time experience in Martha’s Vineyard Resort and Second-home real estate market. I've practiced buyer representation since 1997 and I specialize in EXCLUSIVE Buyer Representation. I'm not a salesman, I'm a COUNSELOR and SERVICE PROVIDER.

SplitRock Real Estate is unique among Martha's Vineyard real estate agencies because I represent people, not property. Why? Because an Exclusive Buyer's Agent does not List property for sale. What this means to you is that you get 100% Service, 100% of the Time. My task is to find the best property, with the best terms and best advantage that best suits your needs no matter how long it takes. I want you to be informed, relaxed, and happy with any decision you make.

If you're considering the purchase of a Martha's Vineyard vacation home, then www.SplitRockRE.com is the right place for you. My website is created exclusively for you, the buyer. If you believe as I do that KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, then you'll want to take your time and thoroughly read through the user friendly information I've put together For Buyers Only.

Do you know what services an Exclusive Buyer's Agent provides?
Do you know how an Exclusive Buyer's Agent gets paid?

The answers are all here at www.SplitRockRE.com.

Areas of Expertise:

About SplitRock Real Estate SplitRock Real Estate is unique among real estate companies because it does not list properties for sale. As a result, it provides a clear separation between Buyer and Seller Agency through its single-minded dedication to the interests of the buyer. The buyer is in charge, and the agent's fiduciary responsibility is solely to assist and protect the buyer.

For decades, real estate agents in the state of Massachusetts have operated under the premise, "Buyer Beware". The buyer thought, or was led to believe that the real estate agent, or realtor as some people refer to an agent, showing them property and with whom they were spending so much time with was their agent and friend. In fact, that agent owed a prescribed loyalty to the seller. Many times, it was only after the transfer of Title that the buyer learned, at a cocktail party or in conversation with their new neighbor, the good real estate investment decision they thought they had made was not that good after all. For example, they could have paid less!

Massachusetts, among many other states, has taken steps to clarify the Law of Agency by requiring all licensed real estate agents to present a Mandatory Agency Disclosure Form to a prospective buyer at the first formal discussion of a particular property. I do not believe many buyers or agents fully understand the gravity of the obligation that this implies, especially because it is not a contract. Despite the changes in the Law of Agency, I still think the buyer must beware. I think the consumer remains guardedly pessimistic and assumes that the real estate agent's roll is that of a facilitator; the agent just wants to get the deal done and move on, even though the terms of the deal may not be in the best interest of the person they are representing.

Clearly, not all real estate agents are the same. A buyer should interview the agent(s) they are considering, just as the agent will interview the buyer to see if they are compatible. A buyer should not only consider the agent's experience and commitment to the business, but also the sincerity that the agent conveys. Decide beforehand what services you want, and take your time talking with the agent. Ask for references and see what other people say about the experience they had during their property search.

I do not believe that one can serve two masters. At SplitRock Real Estate, we serve the Martha’s Vineyard real estate buyer 100% --- 100% of the time. We are not conflicted in our responsibility and allegiance to the buyer. The buyers we’ve assisted in the purchase of real estate on Martha’s Vineyard are happy and confident that the decisions they made were empowered through knowledge and the best decisions for them at the time.

Testimonials:

"Your Inner Circle e-Newsletter is extremely interesting. Really wonderful. I especially like that you permit a lot of your personal opinions to seep through, you humorously point out the foibles of overpricing and price reductions, and yet you simultaneously identify good opportunities in all price levels.

It seems to me almost anyone, from a young family with modest assets, to a buyer looking for a very substantial property, would find your e-Newsletter very helpful."

M.G., Greenwich, CT

"In looking back, I know there were countless times throughout the process that I told you how valuable you were to Dave and I, but I'm not sure I ever conveyed to you that there is absolutely no way we would have ever bought a house on Martha's Vineyard had it not been for you.

"We had wrestled with the idea many times before.   Dave and I became discouraged because anything that looked interesting was "gone" before we got to it.  And then an acquaintance suggested we meet you.  You took the time to build a relationship with us and were well aware of our parameters.  You gave us a much needed "heads up" when something you believed met our criteria became available, and then provided us with more photos than we could ever imagine plus a complete and accurate written description of the property.

"We had NO time to waste to come and preview the house.  We had to trust you.  Let me say again our family are not risk takers.  Buying something sight unseen was unheard of. But by now we had come to appreciate your judgment, your knowledge, your thoroughness and your quick wit. We knew it was NOW OR NEVER. 

"I think what amazed us most in this process was that you didn't disappear once the deal was made.  Your "concierge service" was truly memorable.  You were the "go to" guy for EVERYTHING.  To this day we still scratch our heads and wonder what our attorney did.  We have NEVER encountered someone as professional as you in any real estate transaction we have made in the past. 

"We wish you all the best and hope that others are lucky enough to work with you."

Dory, David & Ben R., Montclair, NJ and Martha's Vineyard

"When we initiated our search for our Vineyard home, we thought we could do some homework online, make a few calls and choose our spot without the assistance of a professional on the island. We were completely wrong.

"Luckily, before our frustrations boiled over, we met Peter Fyler. Peter helped us to find the perfect spot, but more importantly to navigate us through the headaches and peculiar intricacies associated with buying on Martha's Vineyard. Most telling, Peter never acted as if we had to buy a house; he made us feel as if he was more interested in us achieving our dream. I can say without any hesitation, that we could not have succeeded in the buying process without Peter. Thanks Peter, and we look forward to having you over as soon as the last brick is laid."

Brendan & Susanne T., Washington, DC
