"This review is long overdue as I dealt with Jon and Leslie Foster when I was looking for a place to rent. They were property managers for a home which my family of 5 planned to rent during the pandemic. The move in process was smooth as I provided all the nec… Read Moreessary information needed to rent the home for a one year lease. 7 months into my lease, Jon emailed me stating that the owner needed to sell the home. Despite my on time payments and me being an easy renter, I felt like my family and I were punted onto the new home owner. I ended up having to negotiate my own move out terms with the home owner. I also felt like Jon was not forth coming with the information that the owner wanted to actually sell the home within the one year lease contract which I signed. At the end of the day, I had to move out of the home at month 7 of my 12 year lease throwing my family and housing situation into complete chaos during the pandemic. Likewise, I felt like Jon leased the home to me knowing full well that I’d have to move out within months of moving in. I also spent over $10,000 in moving costs within that year. Bottom line, I don’t feel as if Jon and Leslie operate with proper ethics especially if you’re a family with small children. I would have much preferred that he was more honest about the homeowner’s true motivation, especially since my kids’ livelihoods were at stake. Do yourself a favor and find another agent for your real estate needs." Read Less
