Who Is the Best Listing Agent in Chesterfield, VA? A Broker's Honest Answer

There is no single best listing agent in Chesterfield, VA. The right one depends on your price point, whether your home is resale or new construction, and how much hands-on help you want. Keeton & Co is a strong pick if you want a broker involved in your listing. It’s a fast market: the median Chesterfield County home that closed in September 2026 sold in 12 days (Keeton & Co market report).

Should you trust a broker’s list of the best agents?

I’m Daniel Keeton, Broker & Founder of Keeton & Co, and I’m biased. My name is on one of the rows below. I’ve tried to make that bias easy to check. Every number about another agent comes from a named source with a date, and I say where someone else is a better fit than we are. If you read this and call one of them, the page did its job.

What does “best” actually mean for a Chesterfield seller?

What matters	Why it matters	How to check it
Recent closed listings near you	Chesterfield is several markets: Moseley new builds, Brandermill resales, North Chesterfield starter homes	Ask for addresses from the last 12 months
Resale vs new construction	The highest-volume agents here mostly sell for builders	Ask how many of their sales were resale
Sale-to-list ratio	Shows whether their pricing holds up	Ask for the median, not their best deal
Days on market	Overpriced homes sit and then sell for less	Compare to the county median (12 days, Sept 2026)
Who does the work	Teams split the job across people	Ask who attends showings and inspections
Reviews	Written by clients after closing	Read recent Google and Zillow reviews

Ask every agent for the same numbers on the same terms. If an agent can’t produce a 12-month list, that tells you something.

Who are the leading Chesterfield listing agents and teams?

Each figure below has its source and date beside it. “MLS” means listings that closed between Nov 1, 2025 and Oct 31, 2026 with Chesterfield as the MLS city, counted by listing agent, from CVR MLS data via Keeton & Co records, pulled Oct 31, 2026.

Name	Model	Public signals (source, date)	Best fit
Mission Realty	Large team, national cloud brokerage	#1 Mega Team in Richmond in RealTrends Verified 2026 (calendar 2025); 204 Chesterfield County homes sold as listing agent, per its own records (Oct 2026)	Sellers who want a big marketing team and a staging consult
The Yeatman Group	Large team, Long & Foster, Midlothian	MLS: Kyle Yeatman was credited on 173 closed sides across CVR MLS in 2025 (25 listing, 143 co-listing, 5 buyer), and Caitlin Yeatman on 21, per CVR MLS data via Keeton & Co records, pulled Oct 31, 2026	Typical Chesterfield homes that need a high-throughput listing process
James Strum / The Strum Group	Team, Long & Foster	MLS: 13 Chesterfield closings, $6.17M, median 6 days (Nov 2025 to Oct 2026); 153 closed sides across CVR MLS in 2025 (124 listing, 29 buyer), per CVR MLS data via Keeton & Co records, pulled Oct 31, 2026	Sellers who want a veteran full-service team
James Nay	Agent, River City Elite Properties	MLS: 14 closings, $6.69M, median $450,500, median 5.5 days, 100.0% median sale-to-list	Move-up resale homes priced to sell fast
Tina McCabe	Agent, eXp Realty	MLS: 15 closings (all resale), $4.96M, median $299,000, median 21 days	Entry-level and starter-home sellers
Team Hensley at Compass	Team, Midlothian	“Over 550 homes listed in the last 10 years” across Chesterfield and Midlothian, per teamhensley.com (accessed Oct 31, 2026)	Sellers who want concierge-style service from a long-running local team
Builder sales agents (e.g. Gary Martin, Providence Hill; Kim Sebrell, Keller Williams)	Builder/new-construction listing	MLS: 70 closings each, 68 and 66 of them new construction	Builders; not usually who a resale owner hires

Look at the last row. Measured by raw count, “who sells the most homes in Chesterfield” is mostly a builder answer. If you own a resale home, compare agents on resale sales.

What about the row with my name on it?

Our snapshot uses the same source and the same Chesterfield-city cut: listing side only, CVR MLS data via Keeton & Co records, as of Oct 31, 2026.

Daniel Keeton, listing side	Last 12 months (Nov 1, 2025 – Oct 31, 2026)	Last 24 months (Nov 1, 2024 – Oct 31, 2026)
Closed listings	10	43
Sales volume	$4,702,170	$22,912,150
Median sale price	$448,900	$569,990
Median days on market	17.5	31
Median sale-to-list	100.0%	99.7%

Keeton & Co as a firm closed 52 Chesterfield listings over the same 24 months ($27,365,140). I personally review listing pricing before any of our homes hits the market. I price from closed sales in your specific sub-market and show you the comps and adjustments behind the number.

Here’s the honest line. If you want a large in-house marketing department, Mission Realty is built for that. If you’re selling a lot of homes as a builder, a builder sales specialist will fit better than we do.

Daniel Keeton’s take: “Chesterfield isn’t one market. A new build in Moseley and a 1990s colonial in North Chesterfield draw different buyers. I price every listing from the closed sales that actually compete with it, and I’ll tell you plainly if the number you want won’t sell.”

Should you hire a team, a solo agent or a brokerage?

	Team	Solo agent	Broker-led brokerage
Who you talk to	A lead agent, plus specialists	One person throughout	Your agent, with the broker reviewing pricing
Strength	Capacity, systems, marketing staff	Continuity, personal attention	Accountability, pricing oversight
Watch for	Getting handed off to a junior agent	Capacity during busy weeks	Ask how involved the broker really is

Which numbers predict a great listing agent?

Number	Good sign	Why
Closed listings near you, last 12 months	Several, with addresses	Local pricing knowledge
Median sale-to-list	Close to 100%	Pricing holds up
Median days on market	Near the area median	Priced right on day one
Price reductions	Few	Fewer overpriced launches
Recent reviews	Steady over the last year	Current service, not old history

What are the green and red flags?

Green flags	Red flags
Shows comps and adjustments behind the price	Quotes the highest number to win the listing
Gives you a written net sheet	Avoids talking about costs
Names who will handle showings and negotiation	Vague about who does the work
Explains how to end the listing agreement	Long, rigid agreement terms
Shares resale stats for your area	Only shows company-wide totals

Why do Chesterfield sellers choose Keeton & Co?

Pros	Honest trade-offs
The broker reviews every list price	We’re smaller than the region’s mega teams
Pricing built from closed MLS sales, with comps shown	Our Chesterfield volume is lower than the builder agents’
Written net sheet before you sign	No dedicated luxury division
Professional photos, floor plan, video and syndication on every listing	Our HQ is in Glen Allen, not Chesterfield
