accomplishments.Have worked with JoAnn and her team since we first moved to Miami in 1998. She helped us find our first home here and also helped us to sell it after living in it for many years. I trust JoAnn and her team because I know that they will do an excellent job. She is always available, reliable, calm, understanding, and very patient. JoAnn’s experience in the Miami real estate market is invaluable. We highly recommend her.

JoAnn works hard, is imaginative, takes personal care of details and knows everything happening in her market area. She sold my home for a good price in less time than I had given her to sell it. All together JoAnn is tops among real estate brokers I have worked with across the country. Next time I buy or sell a house I’ll call her first.

JoAnn was relentless in photographing, advertising and promoting our house and brought a huge number of people to the house. Her assistants always made sure the house was ready before showings, opened doors, turned on lights, so it was 100% ready when JoAnn showed up with the client. It sold very quickly at a very good price and overall we couldn’t be more happy with the service. She has our highest recommenda-tion. (It’s too bad there aren’t more realtors with JoAnn’s skills and determination in other cities where we buy and sell property.)

Jo-Ann exceeded expectations throughout the entire process resulting in a sale for almost full asking price in one week. Marketing, back office operations and communica-tions were all outstanding. The most professional and pleasant real estate experience we’ve ever had.

JoAnn is the best! She has sold 2 homes for me and did so within less than 30 days and got the price I wanted. Very professional, honest and trustworthy.

Jo-Ann is truly the most outstanding professional in the market today. Their marketing and sales approach is very focused and results oriented. She was able to smoothly sell our house in less than 60 days on the market and helped us negotiate a great deal on our new property. She has an outstanding team behind her as well. You will be delighted if you hire her.

testimonials.

testimonials.We’ve known Jo-Ann for over 20 yrs. She has either sold or bought several homes during that time. She is the most competent, professional realtor we have ever encountered.She provides services that no other realtor provides. She offers ideas how to market your property. She’ll advise you how to improve curb appeal and how to stage your proper-ty, could be as simple as adding flowers to your dining table, getting rid of clutter etc. She allows a generous advertising budget which is extremely important, in addition to a plethora of computer services. She is the one-stop-shopping experience, which simpli-fies your life, during trying times. Her support group are absolutely accommodating and friendly. The best experience we’ve ever had in home transactions.

Jo-Ann Forster, and her entire team, personify professionalism. Their willingness to go the extra mile is only surpassed by their deep knowledge of the Miami real estate mar-ket. Jo-Ann helped me sell and close my condo in amazing time: I had a contract within a week of signing with her. Because of the age, style and location of my property, I was afraid it would be sold as a “scraper”, and the idea of my tiny Mid Century Modern gem falling victim to McMan-sionization broke my heart. But Jo-Ann and her team appreciated it’s style and knew just how to market the house. Eight days after we listed it, we had a great contract with great buyers who also knew what it was and wanted to live in it, not tear it down. I couldn’t have been happier.

We worked with Jo-Ann and her team for over three years. They are extremely pro-fessional, and really helped us find what we were looking for. Once we decided on our house they guided us through the entire process. Brian our agent was impeccable, his negotiating skills are outstanding and he really took time to help us find exactly what we were looking for.

Working with the Jo-Ann Foster Group we got the best Miami has to offer. We will abso-lutely work with them again.

Thank you for making the sale such a smooth and flawless process. From day one, your input and expertise were greatly appreciated and helped to ease this unexpected transition in our lives. You were extremely supportive and professional. We would highly recommend your services.

““ We want to thank you and your wonderful team for a very professional and pleasant real estate experience. You found us our dream home, which is such a treasure...and we see ourselves living there for a long time. The buying process was speedy and efficient.

Jo-Ann, I just wanted to tell you how much of a pleasure it was working with you and your team. I have to say we are not the easiest people to work with... and usually I even prefer to do everything myself, however truly made everything so great in every way, and made the whole process so much easier. We look forward to working with The Forster Group again in the future. Thank you for providing such a great team. P.S. Thank you for the cookies!!

My home was placed on the market last October, a daunting and emotional task. For-tunately, Joann Forster was my realtor and helped me prepare for photos and open houses by staging my house. Joann has an immense amount of experience in knowing what attracts prospective buyers. In addition, she is creative and artistic and has an eye for design and spatial dimensions. She came to my house with her car filled with “props” and in an afternoon of rearranging furniture, culling clutter and incorporating her arti-facts, she transformed my house into a showcase. In fact, my house had such an uplift I began to think that maybe I should just stay :). The whole process was painless and fun, and I came away from the experience in awe of Joann’s marketing skills. I can see why she is one of the top salespeople in the country!

It was as if you waved a magic want and turned our house from a cluttered assemblage into a photo-shoot for Architectural Digest. And, you did this with remarkable grace. One piece shifted here, another there, and the volume of the great room seemed to dou-ble. We thought we had a wow factor before. Now, it’s a WOW factor. Thank you

Why have 2nd best when you can have the best….. Jo-Ann is a rare breed combination of intelligence, warmth, and tigress. Her marketing approach and strategy has become a fine art. And as with all top artists, her work is not only exemplary, but always in demand. It is a privilege to work with her and her team.
