Brokered by eXp Realty | Jon DRE # 01458054 | Leslie DRE #01804083 Their commitment level to their business and to their clients has helped them build a remarkable track record of delivering results. Jon first found his passion for real estate at t
he age of 21 when he purchased his first home, then went on to own other rental properties in his early twenties. This ultimately led him to make real estate his full time career at the age of 24. Leslie started off in real estate as a loan processor for a very successful mortgage company, where she learned the finance side of the business and dealing with hundreds of different transactions. Jon and Leslie worked together at RE/MAX where they were one of the youngest and top performing teams in their office of over 100 agents. In 2008 they decided to fulfill their dream to start their own real estate company and went on to be among the largest foreclosure/REO listing brokers in the bay area after being selected by over 10 major banks and financial institutions as their preferred agents. During this time when the market had crashed Jon and Leslie became highly skilled at representing countless investors purchasing everything from single family homes to commercial properties. Thankfully now that our real estate market has recovered Jon and Leslie have built up a solid base of loyal past clients. Now primarily focused on traditional sales and working aggressively for both buyers and sellers Jon and Leslie can be considered among the very best if you are looking for very experienced agents who have "been around the block" in terms of real estate knowledge and personally overseeing hundreds of transactions. In 2020, Jon & Leslie started to build the Jon & Leslie Foster Real Estate Group. The team grew organically with the addition of a couple of agents with similar core values and a desire to learn. In 2021 Jon and Leslie hired their first W-2 employee to help support the growing team. Today the team consists of 20+ agents, an Inside Sales Department, a Listing Coordinator, a Marketing Coordinator and a Director of Operations. As the leading listing team in Castro Valley, we encourage sellers to inquire about our marketing system that has proven to be vastly different over what other agents are doing. One of our systems pre-markets your home online in a very specific way for a few weeks before open houses and going on the MLS and has proven over and over to give our listings the busiest open houses over our competition, more interested buyer calls and ultimately more money for our sellers. We ARE the most "tech savvy" agents around utilizing drone overhead camera videos and 3D virtual tours, an exclusive technology only we use to offer cutting edge marketing technology to our sellers. We are not "roll over" agents and we will defend the price of your home and aggressively negotiate on your behalf to get you the sales price you deserve. Too many agents suggest low listing prices to generate quick sales and commission checks. We are NOT those agents! If you truly want your home to receive individualized attention and acknowledgment of special features and benefits and want to make sure your home sells for what it's TRULY worth, then we will be the agents to deliver those results. If you are a buyer seeking out an experienced agent that you can trust and count on our team to represent you the way you deserve. Call us today for a free buyer consultation. We have proven time and time again to have been very successful in negotiating countless price reductions, repairs, credits and concessions for our buyer clients. Whether you are a first time buyer with tons of questions or an experienced investor looking to purchase rental properties, we will dedicate the proper amount of time in ensuring you receive the representation you deserve and expect from a real estate professional. Lastly, we want to sincerely thank all of our past clients in their loyal support of our business and the countless referrals you continue to send us. Thank you so very much, as a referral is by far the biggest compliment we could possibly receive. If you have not yet worked with us, then we really look forward to hearing from you soon! Sincerely,
Jon and Leslie Foster
