Instructor Bio
Keva Chester is a Miami Native. She grew up in Liberty City, Miami and graduated from Miami
Jackson Senior High School top ten (10) percent of her class. She received her Associate in
Science in Pre -Medicine from Miami -Dade College and her Bachelors of Applied Science in
Business Management from Broward College. Upon graduation, she became a licensed
Correctional Officer, employed with Miami -Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation (MDCR).
Keva is currently completing her Masters of Science in International Real Estate at Florida
International University. She is scheduled to graduate in December 2020.
While serving our communities , Keva realized there was a huge deficiency of homeownership
and financial literacy within our communities. She went to acquire her Real Estate Sales
Associate License, and was employed by Keller Williams Elite Properties. She also became a
Licensed Financial Advisor with Primerica.
As a part-time Real Estate Sales Associate and Financial Advisor, Keva and her team dominate
the market by providing financial literacy and homes to over 100 Miami -Dade & Broward County
Residents. Keva also held the position of Director of Marketing for Liberty City Trust where she
was able to promote and plan homeownership programs and seminars to our Liberty City
residents.
Due to Keva's passion for helping residents obtain the first leverage of life by becoming
homeowners, her business experienced a drastic growth. She decided to take a leap of faith
and retire from MDCR after serving a total of nine (9) years as a Certified Corrections Officer.
Currently, Keva is the principal broker of The Chester Realty Group, a thriving female and
minority owned Real Estate Brokerage, and still serving our communities by providing
homeownership and financial literacy to the residents throughout our communities.
