At the age of twenty, Paul Jevne entered the real estate business only to find a formidable foe awaiting him-The Depression. Of there was not much investing, and the industry allowed only for rentals. Thus in 1935 Mr. Jevne entered into selling business machines, teaching progressive methods and systems; but opening his own office, which remains today as Paul Jevne, Realtor. Mr. Jevne’s activity takes place, for the most part, in Massachusetts. “The potential here is boundless,” he says, “and the Southeast Expressway makes Norwell a suburban bedroom of Boston.” Proudly, Paul Jevne stated: “This is last frontier of commuting areas; we’re close to the seashore and homesites are plotted out at an acre and more.” It was Mr. Jevne that sold the 130-acre Arnold School complex of buildings, every year he finds, business is getting better. With a progressive outlook on the industry and its methods, Mr. Jevne finds that “Co-operative selling or the MLS is a tremendous boon to the real estate business.” When ask to comment upon the industry as a whole, Paul Jevne said “It’s an easy business if you work hard; but it’s a hard business if you work easy.”
