By welcoming the Advisors Living team, Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty is expanding its reach and reaffirming its commitment to the communities it already serves. The acquisition reflects the belief that a combination of local roots and global resources enables agents to provide top-notch service.
In 2024, Gibson Sotheby’s reported sales volume of $3.29 billion, making it the leading Massachusetts-based real estate firm in terms of sales volume and boasting the highest average sale price among the top 10 brokerages in the state, as verified by RealTrends.
