About Deke

In 1968, while an undergraduate at Trinity College (Hartford), Deke August became a Director of Snare Associates/Dorset Village Properties (DVP), his parents' company. He joined the office full time  in 1990 following two decades as a corporate marketing executive with Ogilvy & Mather International.

In 2001 Deke purchased the business and became principal broker/owner of DVP following the tenure of George M. Wallace, who in 1969  – with August's parents and others –  founded Dorset Hollow Corporation, buying and protecting 1,000 acres in Dorset Hollow from becoming a major ski resort. The Dorset Hollow Corporation was a model for Vermont Act 250 Land Use laws and land use legislation in Hawaii.

During his 28 years with the office, August specialized in marketing premium residential properties and large tract management throughout the Northshire. . He has advised clients and customers on conservation, protection easements, Current Use programs, 1031 exchanges, sensitive sub-division, Charitable Remainder Trusts and other vehicles promoting investment and innovative oversight of area real estate.

Deke was a founding member of the Dorset Chamber of Commerce, served on the Board of the Dorset Theatre Festival and as food and feature columnist for Dorset Country Journal. He created marketing programs for area businesses and played “saloon piano” at restaurants, weddings and events. – a hobby since eclipsed by technology and DJ's.

He lives in East Rupert with his sister, Suzanne, in a 1795 farm house that keeps them  busy and happy.
