Evan Walsh | The Walsh Team at William Raveis Real Estate

The Walsh Team – William Raveis Real Estate is a top-producing real estate team based in Wellesley, with offices in Natick and Needham, serving Dover, Sherborn, and the greater MetroWest area. Led by Evan Walsh, the team specializes in residential sales, luxury properties, land, and complex transactions where pricing strategy, timing, and execution matter. Evan Walsh is a graduate of Dover-Sherborn High School and a former Dover resident of more than twenty years, with deep roots in the local community. Earlier in his career, he served as Head Lifeguard at Farm Pond in Sherborn, an experience that reflects long-standing ties to the area well beyond real estate. With nearly two decades of real estate experience specifically in Dover and Sherborn, The Walsh Team takes a data-driven, market-savvy approach that goes far beyond simply listing a home. Every transaction begins with a clear analysis of local supply and demand, buyer behavior, pricing psychology, and current market conditions—so homeowners can make informed decisions with confidence. Evan is also the author of REAL[i]TY Check, a locally focused blog series that cuts through headlines and hype to explain what’s actually happening in the Dover-Sherborn housing market. The series is written for homeowners who want clarity and context—grounded in real data and real experience, not sales pitches. The Walsh Team pairs deep local knowledge with modern marketing, including professional photography, video, drone footage, and targeted digital exposure. Just as important, the team is known for straightforward guidance—even when that means advising a client to wait or rethink timing. Proudly serving MetroWest with professionalism and transparency.

Run the World: Ladies Only Dance Night (Act 2)Back by Popular Demand!
You asked... and we're doing it again!
After an unforgettable first dance party, so many of you asked, "When's the next one?" We couldn't wait to make it happen. Join us this September as we kick off the new season with another high-energy Ladies Only Dance Night!
Gather your friends, leave the stress behind, and celebrate an evening dedicated to great music, amazing women, and the incredible community we love. Whether you danced until the lights came on at our first event or are joining us for the first time, this is your chance to laugh, sing along, reconnect with friends, and make some new ones—all while supporting the Natick Academy of Performing Arts.
Dance as much or as little as you'd like. One of the things everyone loved about our first event was that there was no pressure. Want to spend the whole night on the dance floor? Go for it! Prefer to grab a drink, catch up with friends, and enjoy the music from your table? That's perfect too. However you choose to spend the evening, you'll be surrounded by an incredible community of women who are there simply to have a great time.
It's everything you want from a girls' night out:
<ul><li>🎵 Music you'll know and love</li><li>💃 A fun, welcoming dance floor</li><li>🥂 Time to relax and reconnect with friends</li><li>🍹 Drinks available from the cash bar</li><li>❤️ An uplifting community of amazing women</li><li>🕙 And you'll still be home by 10:00!</li></ul>
Wear whatever makes you feel confident and comfortable—there's no dress code. Drinks will be available for purchase at the cash bar (ATM on site). Please plan to eat before you arrive, as food will not be served.
Summer may be ending, but the party is just getting started.
Grab your friends, bring your dancing shoes (or don't!), and join us for another unforgettable night. We can't wait to see you on the dance floor—or around the table!
