Buying or Selling a Home with The Monica Foster Team

When I started my real estate business over from DFW to the Houston area in 2008,  I wanted to be something different in real estate- no begging for business  but rather establishing relationships with my clients and impacting the community in a positive way.  I didn’t want to be a salesperson but rather a Real Estate Professional.  To meet my goal I began obtaining certifications and giving back to the community.  In the years that followed my business grew by leaps and bounds as more and more clients appreciated my knowledge and experience- evident by my reviews and referrals.  In 2013,  I formed the Monica Foster Team to better support my clients.  By 2016 we became the #1 team in Greater Clear Lake and in the top 5 of all small teams in Houston. From 2017-2022 we ranked in REAL Trends “The Thousand” placing in the top 75 teams in the U.S..  In 2023, we passed over 1 billion in sales and 3500 transactions, a significant milestone.  So if you want a team that can take care of your real estate needs we have the experience and reviews to back it up.  We would love to have you as our next client.
