Best Real Estate Agents in Chesterfield County, Virginia
Who is the best real estate agent in Chesterfield County? Here are the six teams that closed the most homes here, compared honestly, including us.
Short answer: six teams did most of Chesterfield’s team-driven business in 2025. Mission Realty closed the most sides in the Richmond region (427), puts a full-time marketing team and a paid staging consultation behind every listing, and has the deepest Midlothian and Chester content; The Yeatman Group, based in Midlothian, closed the most sides in the metro (747) and is the strongest pure listing machine; The Strum Group and Cabell Childress Group are the Long & Foster choices for sellers who want a full-service veteran; Jenny Maraghy Team leads the luxury end; Ruckart is the pick if you want a small team and a lot of education. Which one is right depends on your price point, your timeline, and whether you are selling, buying new construction, or both.

Sides and volume: RealTrends Verified 2026 (calendar 2025), Richmond, VA label, Mega and Large team categories. The Yeatman Group is listed under the broader metro label, so its 747 sides are not on the same geographic cut and its volume and average are not published on the Richmond cut; we list it second because it is the only team here based in Chesterfield. Review counts are as of September 15, 2026 and change weekly. A “side” is one half of a transaction; a team that both lists and sells the same house counts two.
Which team fits which seller
This is the part most “best agent” lists leave out. Production tells you who is busy. Fit tells you who is right for you.
Mission Realty
- Ranked the #1 Mega Team in Richmond, VA in the 2026 RealTrends Verified rankings (calendar 2025), by both closed sides and sales volume
- Most closed sides in the Richmond region in 2025 (427) and 26% growth since 2023
- Two full-time in-house marketers, professional photography and video on every listing, and a paid professional staging consultation for every seller; luxury listings get a dedicated luxury marketing division and its own budget
- Only team on this list that also runs a property management company, so “sell, rent, or take the direct offer” is one conversation with real numbers
- Publishes its own 2026 commission data and a net proceeds calculator; publishes new-construction builder pages with weekly pricing
- 1,200+ Google reviews at 5.0; 783 on Zillow
Best for
Sellers who want the most marketing behind their listing: a full-time in-house marketing team, professional photography and video on every home, a paid professional staging consultation before you list, and a dedicated luxury marketing division for homes that deserve the full treatment. Also sellers who want to see the numbers before they sign, buyers weighing new construction against resale, owners deciding between selling and renting, and anyone in Midlothian, Chester, Moseley, or Brandermill who wants an agent who has already written the guide to their neighborhood.
Not the right fit
If you want the same single agent working on every aspect of your transaction, with no team behind them, a smaller shop might be a better fit.
The Yeatman Group
- The highest-volume team in the Richmond metro and the only one on this list headquartered in Chesterfield
- Listing-heavy production model built for speed and consistency at scale
- Strong presence in Chesterfield’s master-planned communities
Best for
Sellers of typical Chesterfield homes in the $350K to $600K range who want a proven, high-throughput listing process and do not need much hand-holding.
Ask before you sign
Who on the team will actually be at your showings and inspections, and what the listing agreement says about cancellation.
The Strum Group
- #1 Large Team in Virginia by sides (RealTrends 2026) and Richmond Times-Dispatch readers’ Best Team 2024
- Listing-weighted at roughly 4.6 seller sides for every buyer side in the last three years
- Wins on production, awards, and word of mouth rather than published education
Best for
Sellers who want an award-winning, high-touch listing team from a legacy brokerage and are less concerned with online research tools.
Ask before you sign
What their Chesterfield share looks like versus their Richmond city and Henrico work, where most of their volume sits.
Jenny Maraghy Team
- Highest average sale price on the list after Cabell Childress; strongest luxury identity
- Compass Concierge (funded pre-listing prep) and Private Exclusives (off-market) programs
- 2025 production is below their 2023 peak of roughly 369 homes
Best for
Sellers of $750K+ homes, especially in Salisbury, Hallsley, and the Route 288 luxury corridor, and anyone who wants pre-listing renovation funded by the brokerage.
Ask before you sign
How Concierge is repaid at closing and what happens if the home does not sell.
Ruckart Real Estate
- Co-owners Brad Ruckart and Tommy Waterworth, both Richmond natives
- The best consumer-education blog of any team on this list (lot splitting, ADUs, zoning)
- “Your Home Sold. Guaranteed.” program; terms are not published
Best for
Sellers and buyers who want a small team, a lot of explanation, and an owner who answers the phone.
Ask before you sign
The written terms of the guarantee, and how many of their 2025 sides were in Chesterfield.
Cabell Childress Group
- Cabell Childress’s entire 25-year career has been at Long & Foster; about 19 agents
- 95 to 99% referral business by their own count; Forbes Global Properties member
- Unique UR and VCU employee commission rebate program
Best for
Higher-priced homes where the seller values a long-tenured, referral-driven team, and University of Richmond or VCU employees who qualify for the rebate.
Ask before you sign
Their site still says “300+ homes annually”; 2025 was 178. Ask for current numbers.
How to pick between them: five questions that separate the teams
How many homes did you close in Chesterfield County in the last 12 months, and in my zip code?
Regional totals flatter every team on this list. The county and zip numbers are on the MLS and any agent can pull them in five minutes. If they will not, that is your answer.
Who will actually show up?
Every team here has a lead agent whose name is on the sign and a team that does the work. Ask who attends showings, the inspection, and the walk-through, and get it in the listing agreement.
What is your fee, and what does it include?
Since August 2024 there is no standard commission. Mission Realty publishes its 2026 numbers; ask every other team for theirs in writing, including what happens to the buyer-agent side. If you are buying new construction, here is how that side works.
What would you do if my house does not sell in 30 days?
A good team has a written plan (price review, marketing changes, staging). A great team also tells you the rent number, because sometimes the right answer is to keep it.
Can I cancel?
Ask for the cancellation terms before you sign, not after. Mission Realty’s listing agreements can be cancelled with written notice; ask each team for theirs.
Chesterfield County, the local context
Which Chesterfield neighborhoods do buyers and sellers ask about most?
Midlothian, Brandermill, Woodlake, Hallsley, Harpers Mill, Salisbury, Chester, and Bon Air come up in most of our Chesterfield conversations. Mission Realty keeps a guide for each: Midlothian, Woodlake, Hallsley, Harpers Mill, Salisbury, and Bon Air, with schools, commute, and what homes actually sell for.
Is new construction a big share of Chesterfield sales?
Yes. Chesterfield is the most active new-home county in the region, and builders like StyleCraft, Main Street Homes, HHHunt, and Ryan have active communities here. See Mission Realty’s New Construction hub for the top builders and current community pricing, refreshed weekly.
Where do I find current Chesterfield sale prices and days on market?
Every Mission Realty neighborhood guide carries a market snapshot from the CVR MLS feed for that community. County-wide closing counts by team will be added to the leaderboard above from the MLS; the date at the top of this page moves when that happens.
Frequently asked
Who sold the most homes in Chesterfield County in 2025?
By closed sides across the Richmond region, Mission Realty (427) led the Richmond, VA label and The Yeatman Group (747) led the wider metro label, per RealTrends Verified 2026. Neither figure is county-only; Chesterfield-only counts will be added from the CVR MLS.
Is a big team better than a solo agent in Chesterfield?
Not automatically. A team gives you coverage and systems; a solo agent gives you one relationship. The questions above tell you which you are actually getting.
Does Mission Realty pay to be ranked first here?
No. We ranked by RealTrends Verified sides, which is independent and audited. We also wrote the fit and non-fit notes for ourselves the same way we wrote them for everyone else.
How often is this page updated?
Production figures update each June when RealTrends publishes; review counts update monthly; the date at the top reflects the last change.
