The 10 best real estate agents in Daleville, VA are Brandon Black, Christy Crouch, Dayna Patrick, Austin Bousman, Kristi Bowman, Tammy Rickman, Joan Turner, Desie Custer, Vic Coffey, and Beth Powell. All ten work Botetourt County, the Roanoke Valley, or both.
How did we rank the best real estate agents in Daleville?
We ranked these agents on four things: tracked sales inside Daleville over the past three years, where their office actually sits, review depth and consistency, and years licensed. No agent paid for a spot on this list, and no brokerage sponsored it.
One disclosure you deserve up front. This site publishes the list, and its author holds the number one spot. Every claim below uses the same yardstick for him as for everyone else, but you should know who's grading the paper.
Daleville is a small town, so the practical field is wider than a map of the town limits. Several of the strongest Botetourt County real estate agents run their business from Daleville offices. Others are based in Vinton, Salem, or Roanoke and close enough Daleville deals to compete here. That's the working definition of a Daleville agent for this list: you either work here or you sell here consistently.
Who are the 10 best real estate agents in Daleville?
1. Brandon Black, REAL Broker, LLC
The most credentialed agent on this list, and yes, he publishes it. Brandon is a Realtor licensed in Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina, a Master Home Inspector, and a Licensed General Contractor. That combination matters in Botetourt County, where wells, septic systems, and older housing stock make the inspection and construction questions loom larger than they do in Roanoke's subdivisions. He's spent 20-plus years in real estate and construction, built or remodeled more than 1,000 homes, and works by a simple rule: educate first, guide without pressure. Read his full background.
2. Christy Crouch, The Crouch Team (RE/MAX All Points)
Nobody on this list sells more in Daleville than Christy Crouch, whose team closed 18 Daleville sales over the past three years on top of $24 million in total sales last year, with 548 recent transactions across the Roanoke market. She's been licensed since 1991 and runs a genuine family operation: her son Seth, daughter Jordin, and daughter-in-law Sadi all work the team. The volume is the draw, and the average price point near $300,000 fits Daleville's market squarely.
3. Dayna Patrick, Patrick Team Homes (RE/MAX All Stars)
The deepest Botetourt roots on this list. Dayna Patrick has been licensed since 1990, graduated from Lord Botetourt High School and Radford University, founded the Botetourt Farmers Market, and runs her team out of RE/MAX All Stars on Roanoke Road in Daleville. She holds a GRI designation and Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist status, with RE/MAX Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement awards, and was ranked 8th in Virginia sales in 2022. Her specialty is the county's signature inventory: homes on acreage, horse farms, and land.
4. Austin Bousman (RE/MAX All Stars)
Second only to Crouch in Daleville sales among individual agents: 9 closed here in three years, $12.5 million sold last year, and 105 recent transactions at an average price point around $330,000. Seven years in, Austin Bousman is the youngest serious volume producer serving the town, based right in Daleville. For buyers who want a hungry, reachable agent rather than a team handoff, he's a strong first call.
5. Kristi Bowman (MKB, REALTORS)
MKB's Botetourt County office sits in Daleville, and Kristi Bowman is its standout: a perfect 5.0 rating across 14 reviews, with 18 sales closed in the last twelve months. Reviewers keep landing on the same word, patient. If you want a large brokerage's listing machine behind your sale with an agent who walks first-time buyers through every step, she fits.
6. Tammy Rickman, Rickman Realty
Tammy Rickman, a Vinton-based broker with more than three decades in the business and one of the highest raw transaction counts in the region: 195 recent transactions, $14 million sold last year, including 4 Daleville sales. She's a member of both the Roanoke Valley and Lynchburg associations, was voted Best of Vinton twice, and made Virginia Living's Top Agent list three years running. Depth like that is hard to fake.
7. Joan Turner (Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Premier, REALTORS)
Joan Turner has been licensed for nearly three decades, with 6 Daleville sales in three years and 100-plus transactions over that stretch, spread from Daleville and Troutville down to Bedford and Moneta. Her appeal is the Berkshire Hathaway network paired with genuine familiarity on both sides of the Blue Ridge.
8. Desie Custer (Century 21 Wampler Realty)
Desie Custer works out of C21 Wampler's Wendover Road office in Daleville. An Army veteran, she specializes in exactly what Botetourt produces: historic homes, farms, horse properties, land, and waterfront. She carries ABR, CRS, and SFR designations, and her client ratings run 4.9 on satisfaction and 5.0 on recommendation. When the property is unusual, she's a smart call.
9. Vic Coffey (RE/MAX All Stars)
Victor Coffey owns RE/MAX All Stars, the brokerage on Roanoke Road that anchors Daleville's local market, and he's been in real estate for 40 years. His office holds an A+ BBB rating, accredited since 2012. Some buyers specifically want the broker who runs the building; that's Coffey.
10. Beth Powell (MKB, REALTORS)
Beth Powell works out of MKB's Daleville office with eight years' experience and a quieter book of business than the names above. She makes this list because she's in town, inside the brokerage that moves a lot of Botetourt inventory, and accessible to clients who prefer a less high-volume arrangement.
How do you choose a real estate agent in Daleville?
The same checklist works whether you're hiring from this list or anywhere else. Run it in order:
Verify the license first. Two minutes at the Virginia DPOR license lookup confirms an active license, the supervising broker, and any disciplinary history. This step filters out more problems than any other.
Ask the Botetourt question. "How many deals did you close in Botetourt County last year?" One answer tells you more than a brochure full of designations.
Test rural fluency. If the property has a well, septic system, or acreage, ask what they look for. Blank stare, next agent.
Get the fee in writing. What do they charge, what does it cover, and what's extra? A pro answers without flinching.
Call two references. Recent clients, ideally ones who bought or sold in Daleville or Troutville.
Check the responsiveness pattern. How fast they reply during the interview is how fast they'll reply during the option period.

What commission do real estate agents in Daleville charge?
Virginia's average listing-side commission runs 2.75%, with most agents falling between 2.00% and 3.00%. Total fees at closing average 5.50% statewide against 5.70% nationally, though the total is always subject to negotiation. On a $330,000 Daleville sale, roughly the local average price point, the listing side works out to about $9,000.
Since the 2024 NAR settlement changed how buyer's agent compensation is handled, every fee on both sides is negotiable and should be discussed openly. Any agent who treats their rate as fixed, before hearing a thing about your house, is negotiating against you.
Frequently asked questions
How many real estate agents work in Daleville, VA?
More than 120 agents have some sales activity in Daleville. Most hold their licenses through Roanoke Valley brokerages, since Daleville sits at the edge of that metro market. In practice, a much smaller group closes most of the town's deals in any given year, which is exactly why a shortlist matters.
What do real estate agents in Daleville charge?
Virginia's average listing-side commission sits at 2.75%, typically between 2.00% and 3.00%. Total fees at closing average 5.50%, under the 5.70% national mark. Every rate is negotiable, so ask each candidate what they charge and exactly what the fee covers.
What questions should I ask a Daleville real estate agent?
Ask how many Botetourt County deals they closed last year, whether they've handled wells, septic systems, or acreage, what they charge, and who you'd actually work with day to day. Then ask for two recent client references and call them. The answers separate marketers from operators fast.
When should I start looking for a real estate agent?
Before you're in a hurry. Sellers get the most from interviews six to eight weeks before listing, which leaves room for repairs and pricing strategy. Buyers should have an agent under a written agreement before touring, since that's now required practice nationwide. Starting early is what keeps you from settling.
Do I need a local agent to buy in Botetourt County?
You need an agent who has closed deals with wells, septic systems, and acreage, because much of Botetourt sits outside public water and sewer. A Roanoke agent can do the job if they know rural systems are cold. One who has never written a septic repair addendum shouldn't learn on your transaction.
How do I verify a Virginia real estate license?
Search the agent's name in the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation's license lookup. It takes about two minutes, confirms the license is active, lists the supervising broker, and shows any disciplinary history. If the name doesn't come up, walk away.
Are these rankings paid placements?
No. Nobody on this list paid to appear, and no brokerage sponsored this post. The rankings are editorial, built from tracked sales data, review history, and local presence, and the number one entry is the publisher, disclosed in his write-up. Treat any ranking, including this one, as an opinion informed by data.
Conclusion
Choosing well in Daleville comes down to fit rather than fame: shortlist two or three names, interview them in the same week, and run the DPOR license check before the first meeting. Ask each one how many Botetourt County deals they closed last year and how they handle wells, septic systems, and acreage, because that answer separates the agents who work this market from the ones who visit it.
