Giving Back to the Community

Since its founding in 1968, The Long & Foster Companies have focused on giving back to the communities in which its agents and employees live and work. It’s a commitment that founder Wes Foster made long ago and that the company continues to this day. He wanted to build a company that did more than just help people buy and sell homes - he wanted to help them achieve the American Dream and to build thriving communities for their families, friends and neighbors. That philosophy of giving back has become an integral part of Long & Foster’s culture, and its real estate agents and employees alike appreciate and look forward to the various philanthropic events the company plans each year.

It has been our pleasure to tell you about our beautiful valley. If you have any questions please call one of our Long & Foster agents. We are happy to assist you!
