We hired Chris to sell my mother in law's very unique property in City Terrace. We interviewed…read moreseveral agents and got their opinions on the property before we hired Chris. We were immediately impressed with his professionalism, communication, experience, savvy and the fact that he immediately was thinking and throwing ideas out the moment he stepped into the house. Through a very smart marketing strategy, relationships/networking with other agents, an extensive knowledge of the industry (all aspects) and market trends, diligence, attention to detail, shrewdness and excellent negotiation ability when things intensified, he ended up selling the house for 50% (yes, 50) more than other agents initially estimated as the selling price. He went above and beyond in helping my mother in law in many ways surrounding the sale and her move. He was also excellent in working with and communicating with us. Overall, the guy just knows how to deal with people and communicate effectively, which is of paramount importance in his field. Anyway, we ended up calling him constantly for advice even after. He always had good information and advice and never hesitated to help. I would highly recommend him to anyone, and should I ever sell or purchase another home, he would be the guy I would call in a heartbeat.

Chris Foster and Foster Realty Group represented my husband and I on the sale of our home and the…read morepurchase of our forever home. Chris' professionalism and no-nonsense attitude is above all others. Chris is a bulldog in his representation and will get the job done when the task is put in front of him. Chris developed a marketing strategy for the sale of our home, which went beyond listing the house on the standard websites. Our home had instantaneous interest and sold within the first week, and at an above average price!!! On the purchase of our new home, we became very discouraged, everyone told us it would not get done, as the seller and their representative made things very, very difficult. Chris took the initiative to continuously communicate with the seller's representative, when hope was lost. Chris' relentless attitude and determination finally triumphed, Chris and Foster Realty Group got the job done. We now own our forever home. Not only did he represent us from a business standpoint, my family can now call Chris our Friend. We recommend Foster Realty Group and Chris Foster to anyone looking to sell or buy a home, we promise you will not be disappointed. Thanks again Foster Realty Group!

Anthony, Michelle and their team did an excellent job selling my mother's house!…read more We had never gone through this process before, but they were very helpful answering all our questions. We worked with their contractors, who did all the renovations we needed within two weeks. The house was sold after being on the market for less than a month and we received a price we were happy with. They have an excellent knowledge of Hacienda Heights and the Turnbull Canyon Road area and found us a great buyer with an Escrow that wrapped in two weeks. My only regret is that we did not follow Anthony and Michelle's advice exactly. There was a section of the floors that we decided not to redo, and many people commented that it made the home look outdated, as they had advised. All in all, highly recommend!

Some companies manage properties. MAP Property Management (MAP) helped my family find a home…read more I first rented with MAP in 2013, and after moving away for what I thought would be a better opportunity, life took an unexpected turn. When my daughters and I needed a safe place to begin again, I reached back out to MAP, hoping they could help. They did. What they found for us wasn't just another apartment. It became our sanctuary, one that I could afford on my own as a single mom rebuilding her life. For the past 11 years, my daughters and I have been able to build a life filled with something we hadn't had in a long time: stability. My youngest daughter grew up in this home, attended the same schools from elementary through high school, and graduated alongside many of the same friends she made years before. Those everyday moments may seem ordinary, but to us, they were everything. Throughout the years, every maintenance request has been handled promptly, every phone call has been met with kindness, and I've always been treated with respect. I especially want to thank Laurie and Patty. They have been two of the kindest, most compassionate people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. While they manage the property where I live, they've become part of the reason I can proudly call this place home. Home isn't just about four walls. It's about the feeling you get when you walk through your front door at the end of a long day, knowing you're safe, you're cared for, and you're exactly where you're supposed to be. MAP gave my family so much more than an apartment. They gave us a place to begin again. For that, I will always be grateful.

Last year, I began searching for a new property management company after working with the same…read moreproperty manager for over 10 years. Looking back, I only wish I had found MAP sooner. As I searched for a new management team, I knew I wanted a company that offered professionalism, transparency, and modern systems. Specifically, I was looking for clear monthly financial reporting, online service requests for tenants, and a responsive, organized team. MAP has exceeded my expectations in every area. From the beginning, MAP handled the transition seamlessly and professionally. Their experience and expertise were evident in every interaction. In just six months, our property revenue increased, and we received positive feedback from tenants regarding the improved management and communication. Laurie, Sandy, and Patty truly make an exceptional team. Whenever I have questions or concerns, someone responds promptly. They also have a reliable network of contractors, electricians, handymen, and other service providers they can recommend, which has been incredibly valuable and time-saving. I appreciate knowing that the vendors they recommend are trustworthy and fairly priced. What stands out most is their commitment to supporting property owners. They are proactive, solution-oriented, and always willing to help implement changes or address concerns. Even during the sale of one of my properties, MAP worked closely with my real estate agent and helped coordinate communication with tenants throughout the process, which significantly reduced my stress. I highly recommend MAP to any property owner looking for an experienced, professional, and dependable property management company. Their knowledge, responsiveness, and integrity truly set them apart. I only wish I had found them years ago.

Have had a vehicle mistakenly towed from my own business despite prior authorization from property management and was very rudely told to kick rocks and pay the $700 bill myself. Do not trust anything in their leases that can alter at any point, CAM fees are completely arbitrary as it seems they set their own rates and raise them as they please. I've paid over $10,000 more in CAM fees over 5 years than what was originally in my lease stating maintenance and amenities that are borderline nonexistent on the property, feels like a complete scam to steal more money from tenants with limited to no justification.

During the hunt for my new home I was introduced to Josue who was to play the role of lender from the sellers agent. Josue early on in the conversation asked to represent me in the deal. I wasn't working with anyone as this one my first time buying a home and was early in the process. I allowed Josue to represent myself and also introduced to himself to my parents who wanted to refi. During the first week of the process not only did he share confidently information such as my boyfriends and my credit report with my parents but completely played us in the favor of his friend Frank who was the seller of the house we originally wanted. Following the first week we went to look at a house around the corner in which we put an offer on and Josue did not even let us have the chance to counter offer and instantly wanted us to take the counter offer from his friend Frank. We then saw another house in the neighborhood that was beautiful and he said he didn't "like" the sellers and didn't "advise" we look at the house. As you have read, time and time again Josue did not have our best interest as the buyer. He would give us the run around countless times and was not transparent with us. No one should be trusted with this man as their representative. Truth be told who knows why he is even licensed. My boyfriend and I successfully represented ourself in the sale of our home (the home Josue refused to let us see) & my parents found a great representative who gave them a Rifi that couldn't even compare to what Josue was "trying" to give
