In the rolling fields and quiet backroads of Kent County, Maryland, where family farms have shaped the landscape for generations, Billy Sutton stands out as more than just a real estate professional—he’s one of our own. Born and raised on a dairy farm right here near Chestertown, Billy grew up with the rhythms of rural life in his blood. Dawn milkings, planting seasons, and the deep satisfaction of working the same soil your ancestors did aren’t just stories he’s heard; they’re the foundation of who he is. His family’s legacy in Kent County farming stretches back for generations, with Suttons contributing to the agricultural heartbeat of the Eastern Shore through hard work, stewardship of the land, and a commitment to the community that defines our way of life.
For current farmers considering whether it’s time to buy, sell, or transition larger parcels of land—or perhaps downsize to a manageable farmette—Billy Sutton brings something no outsider ever could: an insider’s understanding of Kent County farm real estate. He doesn’t just list properties; he sees the potential in every acre, knowing exactly what makes a farm viable for the next chapter of your family’s story.
When you’re dealing with farm real estate in Kent County, it’s not about square footage or curb appeal the way it is in the city. It’s about soil quality, water access, timber value, tillable acres, and how the property fits into the traditions that have sustained our farms for decades. Billy’s deep roots give him an edge that resonates with farmers like you. He grew up on a Kent County grain and dairy farm, earned his Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture from Delaware Valley University, and has spent years helping families navigate the unique challenges and opportunities of agricultural real estate here on the Shore.
Billy is joined in this work by his wife Lacey, who also comes from a local farm family with deep roots in the region. Together, they share the same values and understanding of rural life that make them especially attuned to the needs of Kent County farmers.
Whether you’re a multi-generation farmer looking to sell a 100+ acre operation to keep it in agriculture, or you’re ready to purchase that perfect parcel with room for expansion, Billy understands the values we all share: honesty, hard work, and preserving the rural heritage that makes Kent County special. He approaches every transaction with the same care you’d give your own land—thoughtful, community-focused, and rooted in trust.
That commitment isn’t just talk. Local farmers who have worked with Billy often share how his background made all the difference. One client who purchased a poultry farm through Billy put it perfectly: “Billy Sutton was great to work with on the purchase of our poultry farm. He provides a wealth of knowledge and we were completely blown away with how resourceful he was.” Stories like this are common because Billy doesn’t treat farm sales like ordinary real estate deals. He knows the questions you’re asking—about conservation easements, crop rotations, equipment sheds, or how a property will support your livestock operation—because he’s asked them himself on his family’s land.
Another longtime Kent County farmer recently told us that working with Billy on the sale of their family’s larger parcel felt like handing the keys to someone who truly “gets it.” Billy helped market the property to the right buyers—folks committed to keeping the land productive—while ensuring the sellers could move forward with peace of mind. In a tight-knit community like ours, that kind of personal, respectful approach means everything.

Their combined expertise means you get more than a listing—you get a partner who understands everything from current market trends in farmettes to the nuances of selling high-acreage working farms.
If you’re a farmer thinking about your next move—whether buying additional land to grow your operation, selling to the right steward, or finding that ideal farmette for retirement—Billy Sutton is the person you want in your corner. His knowledge of Kent County farm real estate isn’t learned from a book; it’s lived every day.
