Robert Young

"Robert Young is quite simply the best in the business! No one knows the island better or is more in tune with your needs. He is energetic, engaged, smart, kind, intuitive and always available. He has my highest recommendation and my admiration. Well done Robert! Heather Unruh"
Heather Unruh (26 Milk Street, Nantucket)

"One of Roberts greatest skills is his ability to match people to properties. He understands what his buyers are looking for, making the buying and selling process so much easier. We highly recommend Robert - thanks to his years of experience, his advice was spot on and our transaction went quickly and smoothly. Merrily and John Crowell"

"Story of 8 Rockers"
Our family recently sold our home on Nantucket after 59 wonderful years of enjoyment and family memories. Over the years the ownership has gone from two to five to eight. When it came time for us to sell the house I immediately turned to Robert Young who I have known for over 50 years. With eight owners you can imagine the difference in opinions when it comes to just about anything from managing house maintenance to marketing a summer home for sale. Robert managed the process with class and a great deal of respect. He was relentless in marketing and keeping us informed of market developments and never gave up on the project. I was extremely impressed with his representation for our family and my favorite memory was when a potential buyer wanted an answer to their bid immediately and Robert pointed to the rocking chairs on the front porch and told them to count how many there were. Once they realized there were eight he explained that eight rockers meant eight answers and immediate was not an option. Somehow he navigated that and got the buyer that we were really looking for and the whole family was very pleased with the outcome.
If I had to go through the process again I wouldn?t hesitate to pick Robert again as our representative on Nantucket.
Sincerely
John Keeshan

"We were referred to Robert by longtime residents who told us that he is the best. They were right. Robert showed us every home in our price range, advised us on the pros and cons of each, and when it came time to make an offer, he developed a successful negotiation strategy. And he?s also a great guy who is a pleasure to work with! Bob and Debbie Benjamin"
Bob and Deb Benjamin (12 Witherspoon)

"Nantucket, though a small island, has a nuanced location structure. Having lived in Nantucket his entire life, Robert knows the ins and outs of these subtle variations. His ears are to the ground, and by knowing so many people, he?s aware of potential sales before they become public. The ability to make an offer first often leads to a successful purchase.
Above all, Robert is honest, knowledgeable, sensitive to his clients? needs, and a pleasure to work with. We?ve looked for property to purchase in Nantucket since our honeymoon there, and Robert nailed it!

"Robert Young took on our listing after a couple of frustrating years of
inaction. He quickly redid the look of the property and actively pursued the
market. Robert is a very experienced agent who understands Nantucket
and the local traditions and customs. He is well known and respected within the
community. He led the sale of this large and complex property and we are
very pleased with the results."

"Nobody knows Nantucket and Nantucket Real Estate like Robert Young! Nobody! He combines a successful and enjoyable combination of patience, market knowledge, professionalism, enthusiasm and family orientation in all our sessions and various transactions over the years."

Bill Kupper - Former CEO of BusinessWeek (Nantucket)

"If you're looking for someone with 33+ years of experience, who knows Nantucket inside-out and who is reliable and honest, you've found him in Robert Young. Buying a second home can be daunting. While we had vacationed on Nantucket for 15 years, we hadn't a clue about the market. We looked on and off with Robert for five years. With no guarantee we were going to buy, Robert happily showed us around the island whenever we visited, never pressuring us. When we were finally ready to buy in 2017, Robert steered us away from making an offer on a property he wasn't comfortable with. Who does that? When he found something he knew we'd love, he persuaded us to make an offer, sight unseen. By that point, we had built up such a trust in him that we agreed. And he was right! We love our place on Nantucket and have Robert to thank. LTR, Washington, DC

"My husband and I worked extensively with Robert to find our Nantucket home. It was a very pleasant experience. There was no pressure or sales pitch, just solid advice. The home that we purchased exceeded our expectations. The negotiations went very smoothly and Robert went above and beyond.

The fact that Robert is a third generation Nantucketer gives him an intimate knowledge of the island. Even after we bought our home Robert continues to provide us with island information and advice. Robert truly represents his clients one hundred percent and, from our experience, satisfied clients are his measure of success."

"Whether I need a realistic assessment of an individual property or a general overview, Robert is always my first call; his familiarity with the market is unrivaled."
Bruce Miller (Nantucket)

"You're remarkable! I want to thank you for helping with the sale of the cottage and the purchase of my house in Town. It's a perfect place; just what I was looking for. You were instrumental in making each transaction efficient and smooth.

Additionally, you're honest, realistic, accessible, intuitive, and have a comprehensive understanding of the market. Having been raised on Nantucket, your community knowledge is exceptional. I would gladly recommend you to anyone looking to purchase or sell their property. As in the past, I'll certainly keep in touch for any future real estate needs. Thank you again."

"Hi Robert,
We heard you have moved your affiliation to William Raveis. They are extremely lucky to have you.
Having worked with you on both the buy and sell side (twice) we want to thank you for your professionalism and congeniality in those efforts.
Each time you did terrific due diligence in establishing prices so there was little anxiety from our side. You were an extremely smart and tough negotiator on our most recent purchase and sale.
You have been so successful with many of my friends and we attribute that to your ability to target market values on both the buy and sell sides and keep your clients fully informed.
Best of luck.
Mellie and Jim"
