“We can't say enough about Jonathan. Our home had been on the market for a year before he took over, and by that point our family was stressed, worn out, and unsure it would ever sell. Within roughly 50 days of working with Jonathan, it was sold. Jonathan brought a fresh perspective and a clear plan, but what made the biggest difference was how he handled us as people. He was patient with every question, empathetic about how draining the past year had been, and tireless in his efforts to get us to the finish line. He communicated consistently, and we always felt he had our best interests at heart. Because we live across the country, we couldn't be there to handle things in person, and Jonathan consistently went above and beyond to fill that gap. He looked after the property, coordinated and managed contractors, and kept the entire process moving smoothly on our behalf. He took on far more than we ever expected, and it gave us real peace of mind knowing our home was in such capable hands. He turned what had been an exhausting experience into something hopeful. If you're selling, especially if your home has been sitting on the market or you're managing a sale from out of state, Jonathan is the agent you want. Thank you, Jonathan, for everything you've done for our family.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year over year, Chester’s rolling three-month home values have surged, with the typical home value up more than 70 percent compared with last year. At the same time, median list prices have risen at a much slower pace, creating a noticeable gap between what recent buyers have paid and what many sellers are currently asking.
In the latest rolling period ending in September 2026, inventory has expanded, with active listings up nearly 15 percent from a year earlier and months of supply jumping to about eight months. Homes are taking longer to sell, as median days on market have stretched to around three months, signaling buyers have more time and choice than they did last year.
Buyer activity has cooled somewhat, with pending sales down nearly 9 percent year over year and new listings also slipping, even as homes sold have held roughly steady. Despite this slower pace, pricing power has improved, with the average sale-to-list ratio climbing to nearly 98 percent and a slightly higher share of homes closing above list price. In this type of shifting market, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced local agent who understands Chester’s trends and can help them navigate their next move with confidence.

“Jackie was there every step of the way with us! Very knowledgeable and was there for any questions we had. From start to finish Jackie made this process manageable and low stress”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Millie as our buyer’s agent! From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping us find the right home. Buying a house can be stressful, especially with all the moving parts involved, but Millie made the process feel so much easier. She was always available when we had questions, kept us informed throughout the entire process, and went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track. What really stood out to us was how much she cared about us as people, not just as clients. She listened to what we wanted, helped us navigate the home-buying process, and was there for us every step of the way. Her patience, professionalism, and attention to detail made a huge difference. We’re now homeowners, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to have in our corner during the process. If you’re looking for a realtor who will work hard for you, communicate clearly, and genuinely care about getting you into the right home, we highly recommend Millie! Thank you so much, Millie, for helping us make this happen! We’re incredibly grateful for everything you did for us.”
“Dena is absolutely AMAZING! She has been so patient with us throughout this entire 4-year journey, and we can finally say, WE DID IT! I truly don’t think I could have found a better realtor. Dena is more than someone who helps you find a home—she fights for you, stands beside you, encourages you, and makes sure you never feel like you’re going through the process alone. After four years, I honestly feel like I didn’t just gain a realtor—I gained a new friend. I’m so thankful for everything she has done for us and for never giving up on us. 10 out of 10, I would recommend Dena to ANYONE looking for a realtor! If you’re looking for someone who will truly have your back, check her out! Jeff Cook Realty is where it’s at! Thank you, Dena, for helping us finally make this dream a reality! The Adams Family.”
“Julie is great to work with and we highly recommend her as a real estate professional! We moved to NC from out of state and found her through Home One. She responded within minutes and quickly was able to connect with us on our style. She also gave great advise on negotiating; stayed connected through the whole closing process; and provided great referrals for home services.”
“Judith is an outstanding realtor who help me every step of the way and made it hassle free. I recommend here if you are ready to sell. I originally tried with two other realtor and neither were able to sell my property. Judith did it in just under 30 days.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent! She and her entire team were absolutely amazing and somehow made every single part of the home-buying process look effortless. From showing us a home at the last minute to meticulously handling every detail of the paperwork and revisions, she was on top of everything. They even managed to schedule inspections at record speed and kept the entire process moving seamlessly. What impressed us most was how effortless they made everything feel on our end. We always felt like we were in great hands, and knowing that all the details were being handled gave us so much peace of mind. She was absolutely amazing, and we would highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. We’re incredibly grateful for everything she did for us!”
“Lindsey and her assistant, Amanda, did an incredible job in helping us move our 88 and 93 year old parents from a home of 38 years in Orangeburg to a new home near us in West Columbia. She was kind, friendly and personable to them, she was strait forward with us and guided us in the confusing back and forth maze of buying and selling homes. When we would start to feel defeated she encouraged us and pulled everything together right on time to our satisfaction. We highly recommend Lindsey!”
“Jessika is incredibly personable patient and bubbly. At the same time she is so honest and professional. I absolutely loved working with her and buying our first home. She is a star!!!”
“I recently closed on my first home, a beautiful new construction, and I could not have asked for a better realtor than Kimberly! From the very beginning, Kimberly brought incredible energy, professionalism, and positivity to the entire process. What could have been a stressful experience felt seamless because she was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and keep everything moving forward. The process moved quickly, and I always felt informed and supported every step of the way. Beyond being an outstanding realtor, Kimberly became like family throughout this journey. She genuinely cared about helping me find the right home and celebrating this exciting milestone with me. Her dedication, knowledge, and enthusiasm made all the difference. I am so happy with my new home and incredibly grateful for everything Kimberly did to help make this dream a reality. If you're looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond for you, I highly recommend Kimberly!”
“After a previous listing experience that was frustrating and costly, working with Dean was truly night and day. What immediately set him apart was his marketing strategy. This wasn’t “list it and hope.” Every decision — pricing, presentation, timing, positioning — was intentional. He understood how to attract the right buyer and create leverage from the start. But what impressed us most was how he managed the entire process. Communication was proactive. Expectations were clear. Negotiations were handled with confidence and precision. We always felt protected and fully represented — never just like another transaction. We closed smoothly, without unnecessary back-and-forth or surprises. The entire process felt strategic, steady, and controlled from beginning to end. That doesn’t happen by accident. Dean didn’t just sell our house — he executed a strategy. If you want an agent who understands positioning, negotiation, and how to guide a deal from listing to closing with intention, he’s the one!!”
“Working with Michael to buy our first home was an incredible experience. From start to finish, he was responsive, reliable, and respectful. As first-time buyers, we had a lot to learn, and Michael took the time to explain every step of the process clearly and patiently, making sure we always felt informed and confident. He was consistently available when we had questions and truly made us feel supported throughout the entire process. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and highly recommend Michael to anyone—especially first-time buyers looking for someone they can trust.”
“We would HIGHLY recommend Jack to anyone looking to buy a home in the greater Charlotte area (including northern South Carolina). He showed us the home we fell in love with and ultimately purchased, but he also worked tirelessly showing us other homes all over the area. As out-of-state transplants, his local knowledge was invaluable, and he very quickly figured out what was most important to both me and my husband — even when we had trouble expressing it ourselves. He was incredibly responsive by phone, text and email, and was good-humored throughout the entire process. Jack was also adept at negotiating — we were very happy with both the price we paid and the concessions we were able to get from the sellers. He explained everything in plain language and made navigating the purchase and closing process painless. We really can't recommend him highly enough.”
“We had an amazing experience working with Valessa Davis on the purchase of our new construction home! From start to finish, she was incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and guided us through every step with professionalism and care. Valessa was always quick to respond to our questions and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Her attention to detail and dedication truly set her apart. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor — highly recommend Valessa to anyone looking to buy or build their dream home!”
“Michael is an amazing relator. He is very informative, very to the point, doesn’t slack on getting you your documents. He is also always on time and organized with his scheduling. Most importantly he cares about you more than making a paycheck, Micheal always had great ideas and other ways to look at things and possibilities.”
“Micah is amazing to work with. Great personality. He’s the best. Highly recommend him whether you are buying or selling. He listens what you want and what you need in a home. Looking forward to working with him soon.”
“Amy is the BEST!! She was available on a moment’s notice for whatever we needed. She was very knowledgeable, and we walked away feeling like we got an amazing deal. She went above and beyond and she comes with our highest recommendation!”
“It was an absolute pleasure working with Joshua Kelly and the entire Steadfast team. They were very patient, prompt, attentive, knowledgeable and responsive, especially considering my move entailed an out-of-state component to it. I would absolutely recommend them for future homebuyers.”
“Sean has sold 2 and helped us buy 2 houses in the last few years. His service is impeccable and his realty acumen is unmatched. He knows the areas he services and offer white glove service with everything he does. We highly recommend him for all your realty needs.”
“Carin's dedication and expertise were instrumental in helping us find our dream home in Waxhaw, North Carolina. Carin's extensive knowledge of the area was truly exceptional. Moving out of state, we relied on her expertise to guide us through the unfamiliar territory. She patiently spent months with us, showing us potential houses and acquainting us with the local community and amenities. Her insights were invaluable in making our decision. Throughout the entire process, Carin exhibited the utmost professionalism and care. She handled every aspect of the home-buying process with precision and diligence, ensuring we felt confident and supported at every step. One area where Carin's expertise shone brightly was in pricing. Her knowledge and recommendations on pricing were spot on, ultimately helping us secure our new home at a fair and competitive rate. Her ability to navigate negotiations was awe-inspiring. Carin's responsiveness was another standout quality. Her swift responses to our inquiries and requests demonstrated her commitment to providing top-notch service. We always felt like a priority in her busy schedule. In conclusion, Carin's dedication, knowledge, and professionalism made our home-buying experience smooth and successful. We couldn't be happier with our new home, and we owe Carin great gratitude. If you're searching for a real estate agent who is not only exceptionally knowledgeable but also dedicated to your needs and responsive, I wholeheartedly recommend Carin. She made the process of finding and purchasing our new home a breeze. Thank you, Carin, for your outstanding service and for helping us find our perfect home!”
