It is with great pleasure and excitement that we introduce Nan Vandervelde as the newest member of our John's Island Real Estate Company family. As an active resident, involved Club member, and seasoned real estate professional, Nan brings a deep appreciation of our community and exceptional experience into her new role.
Nan’s real estate journey is marked by a strong foundation and impressive accomplishments. She has served as both a Sales Associate and the principal of a residential redevelopment firm. Licensed in Massachusetts since 2011, Nan distinguished herself at the boutique firm Benoit Mizner Simon & Co., later acquired by Sotheby’s, where she served the luxury markets of Wellesley, Weston, and Needham. Her expertise in buying, selling, and redeveloping properties has cultivated her exceptional ability to discern value, quality, and untapped potential.
A native of Westchester County, New York, Nan has spent over thirty years in Wellesley, Massachusetts, where she and her husband, Murphy, have raised their family. Her connection to John’s Island and Vero Beach began when her parents and sister Susie Perticone purchased a home here, and her affection for the community led her to follow in their footsteps and become a resident. Nan is a proud graduate of Trinity College in Connecticut and the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. She is the devoted mother of three adult children and two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, who are often seen delighting in the sands of John’s Island’s beach. Additionally, Nan is an active Wellesley Country Club and Winged Foot Golf Club member, reflecting her love for community and tradition.
“We are thrilled to welcome Nan into the fold,” said Bob Gibb, Broker & Owner of John’s Island Real Estate Company.
“She has been a valued presence in our community, part of the legacy of John’s Island since 2003, alongside her parents and sister, our dearly missed colleague, Susie Perticone. “Her familiarity with the unique lifestyle that John’s Island offers and her professional acumen will undoubtedly enrich our team and the clients we serve.”
With a genuine passion for real estate and a heartfelt commitment to helping others, Nan embodies our company's spirit. We are thrilled to have her on board and look forward to the positive impact she will bring to our community and clients alike. Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Nan as she begins this exciting new chapter with us.
