Where Trust Is Built & Every Decision Starts with Confidence
Real estate is about more than buying and selling property. It’s about making informed decisions, protecting your investment, and having the right people beside you. At Burkhart & Foster Collective, trust comes first. We provide honest guidance, clear communication, and an experienced strategy tailored to each client. No two transactions are the same, so we listen, adapt, and act in your best interest.
With decades of combined experience in leadership, negotiation, construction, marketing, and real estate, we share one core set of values: integrity, preparation, professionalism, and doing what’s right. Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or relocating, our goal is simple—to help you move forward with confidence.
Meet
Summer Burkhart
Co-Founder & Central Florida Realtor
Central Florida isn’t just where Summer Burkhart works—it’s home.
Raised in a multi-generation Central Florida family, Summer has spent her life living, working, renovating homes, and contributing to projects throughout the region. That lifelong connection has given her a deep understanding of the communities, people, and opportunities that make Florida such a special place to call home.
Before entering real estate, Summer held executive leadership roles in the global and homeland security sector, healthcare management, construction, and large-scale development. Working alongside engineers, architects, contractors, financial institutions, business leaders, and local municipalities taught her how to solve complex problems, navigate challenges, and make confident decisions when the stakes are high.
Today, she brings that same approach to every client she serves. Summer believes real estate is about far more than buying or selling property—it’s about helping people make informed decisions with confidence. Her role isn’t to pressure or persuade, but to help clients understand their options, protect their interests, and move forward with peace of mind.
Meet
Thomas Foster
Co-Founder & Central Florida Realtor
Real estate is about more than closing transactions—it’s about helping people move forward with confidence.
Since returning to Florida to build his career, Thomas Foster has earned a reputation for being knowledgeable, responsive, and committed to guiding his clients through every buying and selling process. His straightforward communication, attention to detail, and dedication to keeping clients informed have helped him build a successful career founded on trust and lasting relationships.
Thomas believes that an informed client is a confident client. He takes the time to explain the process, answer questions thoroughly, and ensure every client understands their options before making important decisions. Whether working with first-time buyers, sellers, investors, or families relocating to Florida, his goal is to make every transaction as smooth and stress-free as possible.
For Thomas, success isn’t measured by the number of transactions he closes, but by the trust he earns along the way. His standard is that every client walks away knowing they had someone dependable, knowledgeable, and fully dedicated in their corner.
