Bart Foster, Realtor®, ePro®, SRES®’s Summary

6 years and counting, Bart continues to flourish and excel during one of the worst Real Estate markets since the mid 1980’s. While offices continue to close their doors and agents leave the business as fast as they came in search of wealth, he remains committed to perfecting his craft as Full Service, Full Time Realtor®. He is in for the long hall no matter how difficult the going gets.

In addition to providing excellent Buyer and Seller representation, he has been quick to “re-tool” to best serve the unique needs of distressed sellers and banks. His specialties include Accurate Valuation, Acquisition, Disposition and Liquidation of Corporate Owned / REO Properties and Asset Management. His bottom line, "I Get Paid For Results, Or I Am Not Paid At All!”

Experience in traditional market sales, estate / guardianships, Short Sales and Foreclosure sales and has completed over 200 BPO’s (Broker Price Opinions).

There are 100’s of agents “doing” REO sales, but only a hand-full who are as well trained, experienced and professional as Bart that take pride in ensuring that all clients property, corporate owned or otherwise, receive the above average attention to detail and market exposure. “Remember, there are no ugly properties, just poorly photographed and presented ones that sell for less”
