CompassED College Advising

Hi Needham! — I wanted to share that I’ve recently launched my college advising practice, CompassED College Advising. I work with high school students and families to navigate the college admissions process—from early planning through applications, essays, and final decisions. Every student’s path is different, and I focus on helping them find the right fit while reducing stress along the way. If you or someone you know has a student (freshman through senior year), I’m currently offering complimentary consultation calls to answer questions and help families get oriented—no pressure at all. Feel free to message me if it would be helpful. Happy to be a resource for this community!

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.
