“Alyssa was amazing from day one! She has a wonderful personality and got right to work helping and guiding me through the process of selling my home. Selling a house can be stressful, especially when dealing with inspections and making sure all the necessary requirements are met. Alyssa was incredibly patient, supportive, and understanding while I worked on getting everything fixed. As soon as my house was ready to hit the market, she helped me sell it within the very same month it was listed! I truly appreciate all her hard work, guidance, and dedication throughout the process. I highly recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and supportive real estate agent. Thank you, Alyssa, for making this experience a positive one!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Chester are shifting notably in this rolling three-month view through September 2026. Active listings are up more than 17 percent compared with a year ago, while new listings have dropped by nearly 22 percent, so more homes are staying on the market longer. Homes sold have climbed over 30 percent year over year, but pending sales are down from last year, signaling slower deal flow ahead.
Pricing is adjusting to these conditions, with the typical home value down by nearly half compared with a year earlier. Sellers are also seeing fewer bidding wars, as only about 10 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio has fallen roughly 14 percent year over year.
Homes are taking much longer to sell than they did a year ago, with the median days on market rising from around one month to more than three months, even as months of supply has dropped to about three and a half months. This combination, along with a seller’s market reading on the local market gauge, suggests sellers still hold some leverage but buyers are gaining time and options. In this evolving Chester market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who knows how to navigate these changing trends.

Game days at Subaru Park bring the community together, while the historic Harrah’s Philadelphia Racetrack and the Chester Waterfront hint at the city’s ongoing reinvention. Education anchors the area, with Widener University contributing cultural events and partnerships that support nearby neighborhoods and small businesses.

“Mike and Kyle did a fantastic job throughout the entire process. They were adaptable and willing to show us a ton of houses. Gave fair and honest feedback on the houses, and gave a lot of helpful advice. They were very knowledgeable about the area we were looking in, and truly made the home buying experience a lot easier.”
“Tyler was an outstanding real estate agent, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly. He was knowledgeable, professional, and communicative, selling our home quickly and above our asking price. He went above and beyond to prepare my parents’ home for sale, overseeing renovations inside and out and coordinating the cleanout. He even found and returned sentimental keepsakes we had accidentally left behind, a gesture that meant so much to our family. Tyler understood that this was more than a real estate transaction—it was a home filled with memories and personal meaning. He treated it with genuine care, kindness, and respect. We are incredibly grateful for his dedication and compassion and recommend him without hesitation!”
“Thank you Alan for his knowledge and expertise of the market, that getting my home sold smoothly. Alan did a great job from start to negotiating final price until closing”
“Joe was awesome during our house purchasing process. He took the time to educate us and lay out all the options. Very friendly and knowledgeable person to work with. I would highly recommend him as a realtor!”
“Frank was very responsive to my questions and concerns. He guided me through a challenging process. Friendly and overall a very smooth transaction purchasing my new condo. Thank you!”
“If you’re looking for the best, look no further. All Realtors state they have “knowledge”. Knowledge comes from experience and John has that! As for personality - buckle-up cause you haven’t seen personality until you get to know John! The most important trait that you’ll get with John is creative solutions! Deals get stuck on all kinds of issues - little ones or big ones. John comes up with creative solutions to “unstick” a deal and make both buyers and sellers happy! If you are reading this review and go with someone else - good luck. But if you want to take luck out of it and have a sure thing, go with the John Jam of Realtors and use John! We’ve used John for a handful of real estate transactions now and couldn’t be more satisfied. He knows the answers, he knows the market, and his response time makes you feel like you’re his only client!”
“Samantha helped my son and daughter in law in an efficient and professional manner. She was patient for our first time home owners ending with then acquiring their dream home at a fair price. Thanks Sam”
“Jimmy was the selling agent, and Davin and I were the buyers. It was a rough road to closing through no fault of Jimmy’s, but he was extremely helpful to us throughout the entire process. His communication was 10/10. He always responded within minutes and even took phone calls late in the evening when we needed him. He also checked in with us after closing to congratulate us again. I would absolutely use Jimmy again and highly recommend him!”
“We can’t recommend Dan Deckelbaum highly enough! From start to finish, he was patient, detail, oriented, and respectful of our needs. Every home he showed us met the criteria we set, including location, space, and budget, so we never felt like our time was wasted. Our search took over a year, and Dan never lost his drive. He kept at it until we found exactly what we were looking for. We are so grateful for all his hard work and would gladly work with him again. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly listens and won’t give up on you, Dan is the one!”
“I highly recommend Frank. He walked us through the whole process. Felt like family. He got us a great deal in a short amount of time. The best possible experience.”
“Highly recommend! Michael and everyone he works with throughout the home buying process were absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Everyone was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free. As first time homebuyers, our questions and concerns were addressed promptly. We cannot thank him enough for helping us find our first home!”
“Ed was extremely helpful, courteous, and communicative throughout the entire process. He consistently kept me informed and made sure I was up to date every step of the way. I highly recommend Ed for his professionalism, promptness, and attentiveness. He was always responsive to my specific needs and went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled smoothly. His excellent customer service and dedication were truly appreciated.”
“Awesome experience! Roman went above and beyond, he treated us like family. Even during some heated times between us and our buyer, Roman was the voice of reason, and the cool and calm one at the table. We would highly recommend!”
“I had to sell a property that was not in great shape as the administrator of an estate. Pete gave me different options for selling the house with enough information to make an informed decision. Pete solicited bids from companies to clear plant debris, trim shrubs, and mow the extensive lawn and to clean the inside of the house. I selected on one company for the inside of the house and another for the outside. Pete's help in finding these companies was invaluable as I live over 400 miles from the house that was sold. Pete kept me informed every step of the way and was a pleasure to work with.”
“We recently worked with Mike to sell our home, and I honestly can't imagine going through the process with anyone else. Selling a home with a young family can be stressful, especially when you're balancing competing needs, timing, emotions, and big decisions. Throughout it all, Mike was a steady presence. He was incredibly patient, always available when we had questions, and never made us feel like we were just another client. We appreciated Mike's honesty and candid advice when we needed it. He helped us think through a myriad of decisions and we were confident he always had our best interests at heart. His knowledge of the market and the industry was obvious, but he never let that overcome the relationship or our priorities. He took the time to explain things, listen to our concerns, and help us feel confident in every step of the process. When it came time to market the home, navigate offers, and get to the closing table, Mike was thoughtful, strategic, and creative. He knew when to push, when to be flexible, and how to keep everyone moving toward the best outcome. We always felt like he was advocating for us while also treating everyone involved with professionalism and respect. Mike is a great realtor - incredibly knowledgeable with a depth of experience - while also having a highly relational, trustworthy approach to supporting his clients. You can tell that he genuinely cares about your outcomes, and makes a difficult process feel manageable. We're incredibly grateful for his guidance and would recommend him without hesitation.”
“Colleen and Collin were awesome to work with. We were selling our place in Old City and buying in Wayne at the same time, which could've been a nightmare, but they made the whole thing easy. They kept us in the loop constantly — we never once had to wonder what was going on or chase anyone for answers. They really got what we were after and found us the perfect house. Honestly can't recommend them enough if you're buying or selling around the Main Line.”
“Brendan is great. He was professional, and very attentive to everything we asked for in a timely manner. We appreciate his skills and services. Always brought a positive idea to all situations, and really focused on what we were looking for.”
“We had lived in our house for over 40 years and Niki completely understood our anxiety with selling our house. She was thoughtful and reassuring during the entire process; from showings in the middle of a snowstorm to having the closing at a time that worked for our schedule. Her kindness was a soothing presence to what could have been a very difficult experience for us. Professional is not nearly strong enough a word to describe what she brings for her clients. It was truly a pleasure to work with Niki and will not hesitate to have her in our corner again.”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Julie Powers with Loughin Real Estate Group. She sold our first home above ask on the opening weekend, and got our offer accepted on our dream forever home days later. Her knowledge, experience and negotiation skills are unmatched. We felt so comfortable working with her and truly felt we had someone in our corner. Julie solved every problem and answered every question we had during the entire process and we just couldn't thank or recommend her enough.”
