For an article titled “On Martha’s Vineyard, All Eyes On Obamas’ Real Estate,” WSJ real estate reporter Katherine Clarke interviewed Wendy at length, on the impact of the Obamas moving in:

“We’re coming into the busy season, so maybe we’ll actually see an Obama bounce,” said Wendy Harman of Point B Realty, who is listing a $4.595 million home across the street from what is believed to be the Obamas’ new home. She initially worried that their security would drive away potential buyers and compound market difficulties. Fortunately, she said she has only noticed one car outside the home’s entrance.

More from the Wall Street Journal article On Martha’s Vineyard, All Eyes on Obamas’ Real Estate:

Ms. Harman said most locals have enjoyed the Obama family’s presence on the island. When they had dinner in town one night a few years ago, the Secret Service sprayed the letter “O” with temporary green paint on cars surrounding the restaurant, to mark which vehicles had been security checked.

“People wouldn’t wash it off,” she laughed.
