Margaret H. White
Massachusetts Licensed Real Estate Salesperson, CPM
Owner, Hob Knob Inn and Hob Knob Construction LLC

Maggie brings 30 years of pragmatic real estate development experience to Hob Knob
Realty. She started two real estate companies in Boulder, Colorado, and was Director of
Asset Management for several large national shopping center portfolios before moving to
Martha’s Vineyard.

Here, she directed an extensive renovation and re-positioning of the Hob Knob Inn, which
has become one of the island’s premier first-class resort destinations. The Inn is an eight-
year recipient of awards for Best Bed-and-Breakfast on Cape Cod and the Islands, from
Cape Cod Life magazine and Martha’s Vineyard Magazine. Travel and Leisure, Elle and
Boston magazines have all featured the Inn in their pages.

With Maggie’s discerning eye and deft management skills, Hob Knob Construction has built
and renovated a diverse portfolio of residential properties to the highest standards of
quality and distinction. She is available to consult with customers and clients who wish to
explore the possibilities of home renovation projects prior to purchasing or selling real
estate.

Maggie is active in island community projects, such as the capital campaign for the YMCA
of Martha’s Vineyard, and is currently president of the Edgartown Board of Trade.

Vera Thornton
Luxury Sales and Rentals

Vera Thornton has lived and worked on Martha’s Vineyard for 30 years.  She has been in the hospitality industry for most of her professional career, owning and operating two Edgartown restaurants while raising her family and serving on the Board of Directors of the Boys and Girls Club. “This is the perfect spot to raise children and develop a close sense of community, says Vera, who has served as a Brownie leader, parish womens’ group vice president, and hockey mom. After selling the restaurants, Vera was recruited by her Main Street neighbor Maggie White into the Hob Knob fold, and managed the Hob Knob Inn for six years, drawing on her people skills and hospitality training to help bring the Inn to the forefront of luxury lodgings on the Vineyard. 

After the creation of Hob Knob Realty in 2003, it was a natural seque for Vera to apply her expertise in the area of luxury rentals, where she developed an international client list of discriminating Island visitors.  Now working in sales and buyer brokerage while still maintaining a prominent presence in the rental market, Vera is dedicated to providing the highest level of service, support, and integrity, while maintaining a legendary warmth, grace, and sense of humor.  Now the proud grandmother of three, all living on the Vineyard, she lives with her husband of 34 years in Edgartown.
