The Long & Foster^® Companies is the largest, most respected real estate services firm in our five-state, Mid-Atlantic region (you may have seen our highly-visible "For Sale" signs in a yard near you). From the start, our customers and clients turned to us for expert real estate advice and unmatched customer service. Today, 34 years later, they stay with us for mortgage, title, and insurance services as well.

Record Growth

2001 was another record year - the best ever for The Long & Foster Companies. We had $25.2 billion in combined sales in Real Estate, Mortgage, Title Insurance, and Insurance. This unprecedented growth is a testament to our commitment to integrity, and the belief that our success is a direct result of providing the very best customer service.

…Benefiting Our Customers

Long & Foster is #1 in our five-state, Mid-Atlantic region, and we use our dominant market share to benefit our customers and clients. Buyers have a massive selection of homes for sale to choose from, and sellers can place their home in front of the largest pool of potential buyers available.

An Industry Leader - Small Company Values

We have come a long way since our founding in 1968, when Long & Foster was just a small office in Fairfax, Virginia. Yet, even with our success and record growth, we still provide the kind of old-fashioned customer service that has been our trademark since the beginning – in fact, we enjoy a 97% customer satisfaction rating! We are locally owned and managed, and every move we make is with our clients' and customers' best interests at heart.
