Frank is a Broker, Realtor, member of Cape Cod and Islands Association of Realtors, and an Accredited Buyers Agent. He has worked in real estate on Martha’s Vineyard full time since 1996 handling both Sales and Rentals. Frank’s knowledge of the Vineyard, understanding of real estate, and personal style has earned him a long list of satisfied customers and a wide referral base from islanders to investment bankers. He thoroughly enjoys real estate and all its facets. From interior design to exterior landscaping, he loves to be involved and usually has some interesting thoughts on existing designs or “value added” improvements. These attributes come across when one begins working with him.

He was raised in central Connecticut and later graduated cum laude from Syracuse University in NY. Frank worked as a creative manager in the marketing department of Heublein Inc, Farmington Ct. for many years before he and his family moved to Edgartown. The decision to move to Martha’s Vineyard came after visiting several islands along the eastern seaboard and realizing the Vineyard was an ideal place to raise their 5-year-old daughter, Anna. It also offered a “quality of life” experience not found in more urban settings or in other areas he explored.

In his spare time Frank enjoys fly-fishing, kayaking, golf, photography, and sketching.

Also Frank enjoys working with the island youth. At the Martha’s Vineyard Boys and Girls Club, he worked with the “after school” programs. Additionally he worked with a “special needs” person for one year in the local school system.

"We have learned that if you want to find that "One of a Kind" home, you need to first find that "One of a Kind" agent. Through mere luck, my wife and I met Frank Markwica while searching for a summer rental. His genuine charm and work ethics along with his keen knowledge of the island housing market gave us the confidence to invest in his guidance to ultimately find our dream home. Without Frank, we would still be searching and dreaming about living on MV. Thanks Frank!!" G.R. New Jersey

Frank Markwica has changed our life. My husband and I had always been summer visitors on the Island of Martha’s Vineyard, until we decided to purchase a home there. Frank worked with us not only as a professional sales associate, but as a friend with whom we have come to care about and trust. We not only love our time on the Island, we look forward to seeing Frank as well. We have referred our family and friends to Frank, knowing they will be taken care of in a warm, professional manner.

Since the year 2000 it has been our good fortune to work with Frank Markwica as both a rental and sales agent. As previous owners of a house on the Vineyard we listed it for rent with Frank for several years. Frank was always friendly, polite, helpful and cooperative in all areas and we always felt very confident in using his services. When it came time for us to sell our property, we enlisted Frank as our agent simply because he had always been so dependable and reliable in assisting us in whatever ways he could. Now we are renters again, and use Frank exclusively. He always finds us the house we're looking for at the right price. We would recommend Frank as a very respectable and reputable agent and we are very satisfied to be his clients. I.B. Pennsylvania
