Whitnie Clarke-Barrett

Phone: 508-228-3202

Originally from Stillwater, Oklahoma, Whitnie washed ashore on Nantucket in 2009, where she met her now-husband and began calling Nantucket home. Since then, Whitnie and her husband, Kimroy, have continued to enjoy year-round island living, along with their Nantucket native children, Harrison, Charlotte, and Shepherd.

Whitnie's educational background in market analysis, merchandising analytics, and strategic management from Oklahoma State University translates directly to her role as Rental Manager at JPFCO. That foundation shapes her approach to each property — analyzing market conditions, identifying opportunities, and helping homeowners make informed decisions about their rental home.

As a member of J Pepper Frazier Company, Whitnie brings a calm, collected energy to serving clients and supporting the team. In managing the island's largest rental program, she has cultivated a practiced knowledge in the unique challenges of operating a short-term rental on Nantucket, from permitting, tax obligations, and compliance at both the state and local levels, to educating clients on rental procedure. Whitnie also assists with the firm's day-to-day operations and is committed to delivering excellent customer service and a seamless experience for homeowners and tenants alike.

When not in the office, Whitnie can be found spending time with her family at their favorite community gatherings, cheering at her children's sporting events and activities, enjoying her family's backyard and the surrounding conservation land, or taking in the view at nearby Cisco Beach. Her roots run deeper than the island, however — Whitnie is a proud enrolled citizen of the Muscogee Nation, of which her matrilineal lineage can be traced back to the 1898 Final Rolls of Citizens and Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes. The same value she places on knowing her own roots, she brings to knowing this island, its people, and its rhythms.
