About Monica


"Who You Choose Matters!"
Real Trends Top 25 Large Team in the US
#1 Ranked Standard Team at eXp
BROKER Associate, CRS, SRS, ABR, CNE, CHMS, CNHS, RCC, CDPE, SFR



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 2017-2021 we ranked in REAL Trends "The Thousand" placing in the top 25 teams in the U.S. and TX. We are currently the Top Ranked standard team at eXp as well. We would love to have you as our next client.

    Gretchel Smith
    eXp Realty, LLC
    About Gretchel

    As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:

    Find Your Next Home

    You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home

    Sell a Home

    When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.

    Consult on Home Selling Tactics

    Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast
