In this blog, we are delighted to highlight Maranda Post, whose dynamic journey from Central Illinois to Martha’s Vineyard exemplifies dedication, adaptability, and a heartfelt commitment to community.

A Global Educational Pursuit

Maranda's academic journey began in Central Illinois and took a remarkable turn when she pursued higher education in Paris, France. There, she earned a business degree in Entrepreneurship and Marketing, immersing herself in a multicultural environment that broadened her perspectives and honed her business acumen. This international experience not only enriched her education but also instilled in her a profound appreciation for diverse cultures and global business practices.

Professional Excellence in Event Management

Following her academic achievements, Maranda relocated to San Diego, California, where she embarked on a successful career in the hospitality industry as an Event Manager for large hotels. In this role, she orchestrated a wide array of events, from intimate gatherings to large-scale conferences, showcasing her exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail. Her ability to manage complex logistics and deliver memorable experiences for clients earned her a reputation for excellence in event planning.

A New Chapter on Martha’s Vineyard

In 2020, amidst the global pandemic, Maranda and her husband, Ben—a fourth-generation native of Martha’s Vineyard—made the heartfelt decision to relocate to the island. This move marked a significant transition, as Maranda embraced the opportunity to delve into the real estate industry. Her background in event management seamlessly translated into her new role, where her organizational prowess and client-focused approach have been invaluable. As a dedicated REALTOR®, Maranda is passionate about serving her clients and contributing positively to the community.

Entrepreneurial Ventures and Community Engagement

In 2023, driven by her entrepreneurial spirit, Maranda became the proud co-owner of Osprey Home Watch Inc. with her husband, Ben. This premier property management and home caretaking service on Martha’s Vineyard, originally founded in 2017, is an accredited member of the National Home Watch Association. Osprey provides homeowners with peace of mind through comprehensive property oversight, including routine home checks and project/vendor coordination services. Maranda’s real estate expertise allows her to tailor caretaking services to each home’s unique needs, ensuring properties are not only managed but genuinely cared for. Her skilled team and established local partnerships with contractors and vendors further enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of Osprey Home Watch.

Beyond her professional endeavors, Maranda is deeply committed to fostering community well-being. She leads "Praise and Sweat," a fitness and faith-based class held at Grace Church. This innovative program combines full-body cardio workouts with light weights and stretching, all set to uplifting praise and worship music. Designed to be inclusive, "Praise and Sweat" welcomes individuals of all ages and fitness levels, providing a supportive environment where participants can enhance their physical health while nurturing their spiritual well-being.

Family Life and Personal Interests

Maranda and Ben are the proud parents of two children: their son, Theodore, born in 2021, and their daughter, Ella, welcomed in 2024. The family cherishes their time together, exploring the natural beauty of Martha’s Vineyard and engaging in the vibrant community life the island offers.
