Jon and Leslie helped us research, find, and negotiate the lease for a new commercial space for our small business and we could not have had a better experience! They were knowledgeable, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommend working with their top notch team!

My experience with Jon and Leslie Real Estate Group was just amazing. We're Chinese and my dad wanted to buy a home but he had difficulty with his English skills so, I'm his son and I did most of the English portion for him. Jon Foster is a fantastic real estate agent and for a first time impression, he sold me on being the guy that I can immediately refer to. It's like he really cares about you and he'll constantly go to the extra length to help you get what you need. During the open houses and when Jon and my family finally meet, Jon is incredibly patient, respectful, and welcoming when listening to my parent's description of their ideal house. He is very knowledgeable about the home and background and demonstrated it by talking about the changes in the area and what happened back then. He's like a historian and I found it interesting, learning about the area that we're not familiar from. Jon's replies and responses are pretty quick. He'll get back to you within a few minutes to a few hours; mostly within a day. For emails, its the same thing but sometimes I have the misfortune of not seeing it and it gets lost under my junk mail. My fault on that part. Jon's negotiation skills is just phenomenal; he got us almost a month of extensions just to help us get the house when we were having issues and the sellers were not very happy. To get into details about how that happened, it all started when my family was still looking for a house, I get an email from Jon one day, suggesting a house that we might be interested in and within our budget. I showed the house to my parents and they immediately wanted to get it because the amount of space and price was just perfect. After telling Jon that we wanted that house, he helped us right away; he helped us make and offer and win the bid while staying close to our budget. During the paperwork and the transfer of funds, we had complications and difficulty with our original bank lender that it was like they were trying to sabotage us. While we were dealing with our bank problems, Jon helped us get an extension in a total of 4 times. It was when for the 3rd time, we were fed up and left our bank and Jon recommended us a guy that he trust for home loans. I'm surprised he was able to help us get almost a month's worth of extension due to our bank's mishandling. Our new lender helped us get a new loan and within like 1 and a half week, we got our house. I highly recommend Jon and Leslie Real Estate Group. They stuck with us through thick and thin, well beyond the selling date, and got us the house we wanted by some miracle. I can't thank them enough for all of their hard work and commitment working with us

We met Jon and Leslie by chance when we started looking for a house in Castro Valley and we could not have been more fortunate in finding a realtor team. Jon and Leslie were relentless in their pursuit of a suitable home for my family. We were at a very competitive price point and the demand for houses far exceeded the availability. The Fosters had to work extremely hard to help us determine good competitive bids while not overbidding too high. They talked us through bidding strategies and various scenarios for each property we were interested in and did an exceptional job in presenting our offers to the sellers. From locating houses to look at through the offer process to close of escrow their professionalism and commitment to our purchase was exemplary. I highly recommend when you are ready for your next East Bay real estate transaction that you give the Fosters a call. You will not be disappointed!

My husband and I had a bomb dropped on us when we were given 62 days to move out of our long term CV rental with 2 kids, a 55 pound dog, and a cat. We did not think we were in a financial position to purchase a home, but reached out to the Fosters to check things out. Jon was helpful and assured us that he would work hard for us despite our limited budget and extremely tight time frame. He and Leslie accommodated our schedules showing us homes late in the evenings. They responded to countless emails from me immediately with answered questions and feedback to my thoughts. Within these 2 months, I was impressed with the existing relationships the Fosters had with the listing agents of the homes we viewed. Jon reached out to other real estate agents he knew asking if they had any homes coming onto the market that would met our needs. In the end, this is what was successful. Jon found us a home prior to it going on the market; he and the listing agent were able to negotiate between the two of them. We settled on a very good price for the home without any hassle. It was exactly 60 days from the time we contacted The Fosters to the time we got our keys. My husband and I were told so many horror stories about purchasing a home and I am happy to say that this was a smooth, exciting, and enjoyable process for us. My family is ecstatic in our new home and we have the Fosters to thank for this. I would highly recommend using them for your home buying/selling purposes.
