About PJ Ferrell
Helping her clients achieve their DFW home buying goals is Grace Foster’s priority and why she loves working in this industry. When it comes to buying a home, there are many elements that have to fall into place and numerous steps that have to be taken correctly and timely. Grace Foster is the key to a successful purchase as a true buyer’s advocate. Her clients feel comfortable and confident when working with her and it really does make a difference. She says, “It's a great feeling getting to know my clients and making sure they are represented completely. A buyer should be enjoying this exciting time and should not have to deal with the stress or details of the transaction”.
Grace holds an MBA (Master of Business Administration) from Texas A&M in Texarkana as well as a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from LeTourneau University in Longview, TX. She worked in the corporate world for over 20 years earning numerous awards and accolades during her career. She successfully managed multi-million dollar projects and brings that key skill as well as a multitude of others to her individual clients.
In February 2007, Grace was awarded the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CHLMS) designation from the Institute of Luxury Home Marketing. According to the institute, “To earn the CLHMS designation, an agent must successfully list and/or sell luxury properties in the top 10% of his or her market area (as defined by the area's sales prices in the most recent 12 months). Homes that are priced below $500,000 will not be considered for the designation, even if the top 10% of that particular market is below the $500,000 minimum.” This certifies Grace as a well-trained professional who has special upper-tier experience and has successfully proven her expertise in the luxury home and estate marketplace. At the same time, she was one of the first in this area to receive the prestigious designation, Golden Guild Level which is awarded to Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialists (CLHMS) whose documented performance includes at least two single family property closings at $1,000,000 or above will be recognized as members of the prestigious Million Dollar Guild. She is also a member of national, state and local Realtor Boards.
Everybody has a special passion and skill. Grace Foster’s passion is real estate and her skill is matching a buyer to a home. She brings that passion for real estate along with a positive spirit and a determined, goal oriented disposition to her role as Director of Buyer Services for Tamara Keilberg Luxury Real Estate. According to her broker, Tamara Keilberg, "Her attention to detail along with her work ethic has proven to be a tremendous asset to her clients". She makes a concerted effort to get to know her client’s lifestyle which gives her an in-depth understanding of what properties are best suited for each buyer she represents. Grace’s education, corporate experience, and industry experience, as well as her patience with the decision process and keen attention to detail ensures every home search and transaction is a positive experience for her clients.
