From Hospitality Roots to Real Estate Success

Jen O’Hanlon’s journey to real estate began with her passion for hospitality.

This background provided Jen with an exceptional foundation in client care and detail-oriented service—qualities that have propelled her to become one of the island’s most trusted real estate agents.

Always striving to set herself apart, Jen undertook an intensive real estate coaching course with renowned industry expert Krista Mashore in 2019, revolutionizing her business strategy. Mastering video production to beautifully showcase her listings and educate clients, Jen offers a dynamic approach unmatched by other island agents. Additionally, she leverages digital advertising and retargeting strategies to effectively connect properties with prospective buyers.

Leveraging her deep knowledge of the local market and extensive hospitality background, Jen and her team provide exceptional service to homeowners and vacation renters alike, ensuring an outstanding experience for every guest.

The Power of Compass Networks

Commitment to Community

Having lived on Martha’s Vineyard year-round for over 27 years, Jen is deeply committed to the island community. She and The O’Hanlon Group are active members of the Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce, supporting local businesses and community initiatives. Through their Giving Back program, a portion of every commission is donated to local organizations such as the YMCA of Martha’s Vineyard, Harbor Homes, and the Island Housing Trust. Clients actively participate by selecting which local charity they wish to support, helping ensure each transaction meaningfully contributes to the island’s welfare.

Life Beyond Real Estate

Jen lives in beautiful Edgartown with her daughter, where they both share a love of horseback riding. When not working with clients or refining her marketing strategies, you’ll often find her exploring Martha’s Vineyard on horseback, savoring every moment of island life with family.
