Rick Foster

Rick Foster, Broker/Owner, manages Engel & Völkers’ premier shops in Annapolis, Ocean City, Washington D.C. and Richmond, delivering elite real estate expertise across the Mid-Atlantic.

Real estate is less about the transaction and more about the trajectory for Rick Foster. As the Broker and License Partner for Engel & Völkers across the Mid-Atlantic—with shops spanning Annapolis, Ocean City, Washington, D.C. and Richmond—Rick has redefined the role of the modern broker by blending high-level financial precision with a deeply personal, local touch.
 
Rick isn’t your typical real estate executive. An attorney with an LLM in Corporate Tax from NYU, his background in private equity and corporate finance provides his clients with a distinct advantage. Whether navigating the complexities of a luxury waterfront estate or advising on an investment portfolio, Rick’s ability to see the “big picture” is backed by two decades of personal investing and a sharp analytical mind.

“We are big on culture. We look for people who fit our vibe—professionals who act as Advisors rather than just agents. Our role extends far beyond a listing; it’s about empathy, integrity and a concierge level of service.”

This commitment to excellence was cemented when his Annapolis shop earned the Engel & Völkers Cup, the firm’s highest national accolade for service and productivity. Yet, despite the global reach of the E&V brand, Rick remains “boots on the ground” on the Eastern Shore. Residing in Eastport, he balances the demands of a multi-city brokerage with the relaxed simplicities of coastal life. CS
