Allison Foster
About Allison
Allison’s first priority in working with her clients is to understand their specific needs - learning from what is communicated as well as picking up on subtle nuances conveyed in other ways. On this platform of understanding, she builds trust and faith in her skills as an advisor and in the home purchasing process itself. Allison endeavors to deliver using all the expected tools - diligence, professionalism, knowledge and skill, while also bringing a uniquely empathetic personal style, creating strong and lasting bonds, repeat business and many referrals. Almost all of her business since 2016 has been referral based, a testament to her devotion to her clients and delivering on their real estate requirements.
After enduring many colorful, complicated, scary, humorous and even disastrous real estate experiences in NYC on her own behalf and for others, she understood how her clients seem to feel when we first meet; wary of brokers and confused about the process, whether renting,buying or selling - it can seem like an impossible process, or at least impossibly stressful.
Allison acts as an advocate, effective communicator and negotiator, while maintaining a nurturing, empathetic and positive personality. She is devoted to protecting her clients' interests in every interaction and delivering a stress free experience from initial communication to close.
Allsion made the choice to become an advisor at Elegran after a successful career in pharma and biotech marketing and advertising as a Senior Vice President of Client Services for top global agencies Saatchi Healthcare and Fleishman-Hillard. She graduated from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs NY with a BA in Business and Economics.
After almost 20 years in North Brooklyn Allison moved to Woodside, Queens in 2020. When not working or spending time with her three boys, she enjoys fine art and botany, is an avid painter and gardener and loves spending time creating in her little 6X8 ft rooftop greenhouse.
Testimonials
Allison was incredibly responsive, transparent, understanding, personable and determined to find me a new home without settling or being pushy at all. Allison showed me many options which I never saw online.
Dana Z.Ask for Allison Foster. We had read so many horrifying stories about real estate brokers/agents prior to visiting Brooklyn and Allison defied them all. Allison's honesty was a refreshing shift from the other real estate brokers/agents we had encountered online. She answered my questions promptly, providing me with as much detail as possible. Not only was she professional, I was impressed with her interpersonal communication skills, and her ability to nurture strong working relationships with the landlords who had hired her -- critical because your broker has to advocate on your behalf to your potential landlord. Her ability to sustain these relationships in an industry filled with agents out to close as many deals as possible within a short period of time. Allison even walked with us for close to an hour to provide us with an experiential sense of the neighborhoods we were interested in -- knowing fully well that we might decide to not rent any place she showed us. She was fully respectful of our preferences and our budget and worked hard to meet our requirements. If you're a young professional and you're wary of shady brokers, contact Allison Foster
Nur J.Attentive, considerate and a great listener. Allison was honest and has the highest integrity. She gave us the truth even when it didn’t necessarily lead to a sale. She’s a gem.
Mark L.Allison was a lifesaver. After a mix of working with flakey brokers and unresponsive agents, we finally found Allison. She’s prompt. Honest, and truly the most friendly person we met out there. And we met a lot of people. She helped us snag a perfect apartment and I think….we’re friends now?? You’d be lucky to work with her.
