A Recent Client said she would have given me 6 stars out of 5 if she could!

I recently sold the home of Art and Marcie Jacikas who has these kind words to say:


“We have sold 6 homes and Monica Foster was our best realtor yet! She worked so hard for us (and in difficult situations when out first offer fell through) and we were so happy she was there to guide us along the way. She was knowledgeable and professional and communicated with us every step of the way. She did an awesome job and we would highly recommend her. PS- We would give her a 6 on the rating scale if we could!


“Wow! Thank you so much, Art & Marcie, for your 5 star review and kind words; I am truly humbled by them! I am so happy we found a buyer who absolutely loves your home as much as you did! Blessings in this new chapter in your life!

Planning for 2015 Home Decor Already?

Many of us work long days and can’t always get away for vacation so our homes need to an inspiring and relaxing space that you can enjoy by getting away from the world for a time. I know that is what I did.  Once I decided that I was staying in my League City home for a long time I decided to make it as relaxing as possible.  Updating your home décor is a simple way to make this happen and stay with what’s in.  So what home changes are coming in 2015?


It’s All About Color


Simply repainting a room or exterior can make a dramatic and refreshing difference for your space. 2015 is the year of lavender, plum, tan, beige, and blue, with a dash of green. Expect to see variations of these colors dressing new homes.  Add wall art and other floor items for a completely new look. If you are not sure how it will look you can even take photos and pay a virtual staging company to change wall colors to see how it looks.  They can also add furniture or even change out walls and window coverings for a bigger change.


Transform Your Outdoor Living Space


If you have the yard space you can add a patio (covered or not), pergola, outdoor kitchen, pond, waterfall, and even a pool.  While these can get pricey it is a good way to bring the vacation feel home. Even if your yard is smaller a patio and waterfall can be inviting and help you relax after a long day.


Bring The Outdoors Inside


The latest buzz is about colors and furniture that create an airy atmosphere within the home and give the home a more outdoor feel. Using pastel colors, soft textures on furniture and pillows and eye-catching pictures can create a very pleasing atmosphere. Bringing in plants (if you can keep them alive unlike me) can  add a natural touch and improve air quality as well.


Consider the Latest Home Trends


2015 is going to bring some changes in home decorating trends.  As a real estate agent I have seen firsthand how changes in staging, wall colors, and landscaping can make all the difference.  Whether you’re looking to sell your home or you just want to keep it current, there are many options.  If you are looking to sell your home in the Greater Clear Lake or Pearland areas in the coming year and would like advice on preparing it to sell or even full blown staging, contact me and I will be happy to help.

Extremely Happy Seller gives Monica Foster Team 5 Stars!

A great review from a great client Carrie Shrader: ”Monica is the best realtor that I possibly could have had. My house was 19 years old. She came in initially, with no strings attached, and made suggestions for updating the house so that it would sell (which I followed). She is highly professional and knowledgeable about real estate and is a great and prompt communicator. I would more than highly recommend her to any person wanting to sell their home.


Thank you so much, Carrie, for the 5 stars and kind words! It has been such a pleasure working you and I am looking forward to our ongoing friendship, as well as being of assistance to you, your friends, and family, in the future!
