About Paul

Paul Neavyn is a Global Real Estate Advisor with Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty, working from the firm’s Wellesley office and serving buyers and sellers across MetroWest Boston and the Greater Boston suburbs. Licensed in real estate since 2018, he has also held a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License since 2003 and brings more than two decades of hands-on building and renovation experience to every transaction. Paul was named to RealTrends’ 2026 list of the top 1.5% of agents nationwide, is a member of Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty’s Club XV, and has earned more than 60 five-star reviews on Google and more than 25 on Zillow. Paul’s background as a builder is what clients notice first. Before entering real estate full time, he spent more than 20 years running a renovation company and working on high-end and historic homes across the MetroWest suburbs, and that experience shapes every conversation he has with clients. When a buyer walks through a 1920s Colonial in Wellesley or a newer build in Hopkinton, Paul can talk through the structural systems, put a realistic range on renovation costs, and help decide what the home inspection should focus on. When a seller is preparing for market, he has a clear view of which improvements tend to pay back and which are not worth the spend. Paul serves Wellesley, Weston, Newton, Brookline, Southborough, Hopkinton and the surrounding MetroWest towns. Born and raised in Newton and now a Southborough resident, he knows the housing stock, the lot sizes, where town sewer ends and septic begins, the commuting patterns, and the subtle differences between neighborhoods that shape value. For relocating professionals and international clients, Paul is a natural fit. A dual U.S. and Irish citizen, he understands the complexity of cross-border moves and works closely with the worldwide Sotheby’s International Realty network. Referring agents value his proactive communication and the discretion he brings to high-value clients. Paul holds the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) and Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) designations, the Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE) certification, and the Commitment to Excellence (C2EX) endorsement. He earned a degree in Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Clients describe Paul as calm, patient and direct. In a market that moves fast and rewards precision, those qualities matter, and so does his ability to read a home the way a builder does. When he is not advising clients, Paul enjoys playing basketball and tennis, exploring new restaurants, and traveling with his wife and son.

We recently had Paul representing us for the sale and purchase of homes in Hopkinton

We recently had Paul representing us for the sale and purchase of homes in Hopkinton. Both were complicated for a variety of reasons. Paul was an excellent representative who helped navigate these complexities with grace, professionalism, expertise, kindness, and a great attitude which made it fun to work with him. The sale of our house was of particular merit to him and his team. He was a great steward of our property (he created great marketing material) and knew its worth and stuck to it through a couple of failed buyer experiences. Our purchase was plagued by legal challenges by neighbors over property disputes that he helped us to process and learn how to approach intelligently. Overall, he is an outstanding realtor who I will definitely be referring friends and colleagues to in the future. He is an asset to our community.
