Best Real Estate Agents in Henrico County, Virginia
Who is the best real estate agent in Henrico County? Here are the six teams that closed the most homes here, compared honestly, including us.
Short answer: six teams did most of Henrico’s team-driven business in 2025. Mission Realty, headquartered in Innsbrook, 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 written guides for Short Pump, Glen Allen, Wyndham, Twin Hickory, and Tuckahoe; The Strum Group is the highest-producing Large Team in Virginia; Jenny Maraghy Team and Cabell Childress Group are the West End choices, with Maraghy leading the luxury end; Ruckart is the pick if you want a small team and a lot of education; The Marc Austin Highfill Team is the Glen Allen broker-owner shop that works Wyndham and Twin Hickory every week. 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). The first five teams carry the Richmond, VA label (Mega and Large team categories); The Marc Austin Highfill Team carries the Glen Allen, VA label (Medium team category), where it ranks first by sides and volume. 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
- The only team on this list based in Henrico County, with guides written for Short Pump, Glen Allen, Wyndham, Twin Hickory, and Tuckahoe
- 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 here 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 Short Pump, Glen Allen, Wyndham, Twin Hickory, or Tuckahoe 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 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 in the Near West End, Tuckahoe, and the city’s West End 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
How much of their volume is west of Parham Road versus inside the city, and who on the team handles Short Pump and Glen Allen listings.
Jenny Maraghy Team
- The strongest luxury identity in the West End and the River Road corridor, which is Henrico’s top price band
- 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 in the River Road corridor, Mooreland Farms, Wyndham, and the Route 288 luxury pockets, 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 Henrico.
Cabell Childress Group
- Cabell Childress’s entire 25-year career has been at Long & Foster; about 19 agents; a West End team by history and address
- 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 West End 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.
The Marc Austin Highfill Team
- Based on Nuckols Road in Glen Allen, in the middle of Wyndham, Twin Hickory, and Grey Oaks
- #1 Medium Team in Glen Allen by sides and volume (RealTrends 2026); about 18 agents and staff
- 313 Zillow team reviews at 5.0
Best for
Sellers of typical Glen Allen and western Henrico homes in the $400K to $650K range who want a long-tenured local broker-owner and a team that works those subdivisions every week.
Ask before you sign
Who on the team will handle your showings and inspections, and what their listing agreement says about cancellation.
How to pick between them: five questions that separate the teams
How many homes did you close in Henrico 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.
Henrico County, the local context
Which Henrico neighborhoods do buyers and sellers ask about most?
Short Pump, Glen Allen, Wyndham, Twin Hickory, Tuckahoe, and the Near West End come up in most of our Henrico conversations. Mission Realty keeps a guide for each: Short Pump, Glen Allen, Wyndham, Twin Hickory, and Tuckahoe, with schools, commute, and what homes actually sell for.
Is there much new construction in Henrico?
Less than in Chesterfield or Hanover, and most of it sits in western Henrico and along the Route 288 corridor. See Mission Realty’s New Construction hub for the top Central Virginia builders and current community pricing, refreshed weekly.
Where do I find current Henrico sale prices and days on market?
Every Mission Realty neighborhood guide carries a market snapshot from the CVR MLS feed for that community, and the Henrico County page carries the county-wide snapshot. 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 Henrico County in 2025?
By closed sides across the Richmond region, Mission Realty (427) led the Richmond, VA label per RealTrends Verified 2026, and it is the only team on this list headquartered in Henrico. That figure is not county-only; Henrico-only counts will be added from the CVR MLS.
Is a big team better than a solo agent in Henrico?
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.
