Ryan Shea, a Newport native, has always been passionate about building a life and career close to home. With a deep appreciation for family, community, and the coastal lifestyle, Ryan was inspired to pursue a career in real estate on Aquidneck Island and throughout Rhode Island’s most desirable markets.
After graduating cum laude from the University of Rhode Island with a Bachelor’s degree in 2015, Ryan quickly immersed himself in the real estate industry. Early in his career, he began acquiring and managing investment properties, giving him a unique, firsthand understanding of both residential and income-producing real estate.
Today, Ryan specializes in buyer and seller representation across Newport, Bristol County, Narragansett, and surrounding Rhode Island communities, as well as Westport, MA and the Greater Boston, MA area. His expertise spans luxury coastal homes, vacation properties, and multifamily investment properties, making him a trusted resource for a wide range of clients.
Ryan is also passionate about helping veterans successfully navigate the home buying process and maximize their VA loan benefits—an area of his business that is especially meaningful to him.
In just his sixth year in real estate, Ryan earned the distinction of #1 Individual in Closed Volume at his brokerage of over 300 agents—a title he earned again in 2023. He remains a proud member of the Two Diamond Club, consistently closing nearly $20 million in annual sales volume.
Built almost entirely on referrals and word-of-mouth, Ryan’s business is a testament to his commitment to client satisfaction, local market expertise, and results-driven approach.
