    About Jon & Leslie Foster

    In an industry that has lost the focus of the customer experience, working with Jon and Leslie, the customer experience is the only focus. Jon and Leslie Foster have consistently been top performing agents selling several hundred homes since beginning their sales careers in 2003. 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 the age of 21 when he purchased his first home, then went on to own other rental properties in his early twenties. This ultimately lead him to make real estate his full time career at the age of 24. Leslie started off in real estate as loan processor for a very successful mortgage company where she learned the finance side of the business and dealing with hundreds of different transactions. When Jon and Leslie began working together they were one of the youngest top performing teams in their office of over 100 agents and have since been consistent top producers, earning the highest production award several times from Bay East Association of Realtors, The Pinnacle Award which less than 5% of local agents achieve. For 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 to our sellers. 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. Each home we list for sale is special to us and we market the unique features to make our listings stand out with care and attention to the details that matter. For Buyers: If you are a buyer seeking out an experienced agent that you can trust and count on to represent you the way you deserve then please call us 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 lots of questions or an experienced investor looking to purchase rental properties, we will invest 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!

    Vicky was an outstanding real estate agent and an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our home-buying process. She toured us through numerous homesaEUR"often on short noticeaEUR"across Oakland, Castro Valley, and San Leandro, and consistently made herself available and eager to help. Her knowledge of the area, especially Castro Valley, was exceptional, and her personal experience living there added a thoughtful and reassuring touch that we truly appreciated. Vicky was also incredibly efficient and organized. She coordinated multiple inspections (home, pest, and roof) and helped us secure great deals along the way. She went above and beyond by connecting us with insurance brokers to ensure we received the best possible rates. From start to finish, Vicky was responsive, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to our success. We couldnt be happier with our experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.

    Ive had the privilege of working with CJ and his team on residential deals (single family / condos) as well as multifamily commercial deals (5+ units). His aptitude of all things real estate, his passion, commitment and determination towards executing for his clients sets him apart from the rest. There is a difference in aEURoesayingaEUR? you can get things done vs actually doing it. CJ and his team are the real deal. And Id highly recommend them.

    As a first time homebuyer, I really enjoyed working with Vanessa. She's absolutely great!! Very friendly, communicative, & transparent. I can tell she really cares about her clients and puts her all into her work. Highly Recommend! I want to preface that prior to working with her, I had a property in mind already and I urgently needed an agent. I had called a local agency, The Jon & Leslie Foster Real Estate Group, thru some quick google / online searching and Leslie assigned me to Vanessa. She walked me through the entire process and answered allll my questions. I felt like I could trust her throughout the entire process. Even though there was some hiccups (as part of any transaction), Vanessa always kept me updated on the latest status; she was very communicative and transparent. For me as the buyer, I felt like overall my experience was relatively smooth thanks to her! I know that behind the scenes she did a lot of heavy lifting. I also want to add that after closing, when I arrived at my new home for the key, she surprised me with some HOME letter balloons & a bottle of wine. It was such a nice gesture! I'm really so thankful for her ! She's a gem. Highly recommend!! P.S i also recommend the mortgage broker she works with!! Lupe & Vanessa are a great team ??

    Jayson is on top of it. He is friendly and knowledgeable and is a pleasure to work with. He is on your side and will not allow you to take a bad deal even if you are willing. He is trustworthy and professional. He was able to find locations that met my strict criteria and provide information that I otherwise wouldn't know. I am a first-time homebuyer so I had many questions and Jayson was happy to answer all of my questions in great detail and help me feel confident about purchasing a home.

    I had an excellent experience working with Shaan Singh during my home purchase. From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly had my best interests in mind. He took the time to understand what I was looking for and provided thoughtful guidance throughout the process. Shaan Singh was always available to answer questions, explain details clearly, and offer honest advice. His professionalism, attention to detail, and strong understanding of the market were invaluable, especially when it came time to make an offer and navigate negotiations. What really stood out was that even after the purchase was complete, when I had questions or concerns, Shaan still showed up for me. He went above and beyond what was expected, continuing to offer support, clear answers, and genuine care well past closing. I'm extremely happy with my new home and grateful for the support I received along the way. I would highly recommend Shaan Singh to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, he is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. Saundra Shepherd-Darrington
