We use Bill to find a renter for our place in Cross Creek. Bill did a great job marketing and found us the perfect tenant in a matter of weeks. I also appreciated Bill doing the background and credit check on the new tenant also.

It’s difficult to explain how fortunate I was to select Bill Forrest to sell my house. I had never sold a house before and Bill guided me all the way through the process. He coordinated everything for me and was absolutely fabulous. He focused a lot on marketing and that made all the difference in terms of finding a buyer so quickly. He is so knowledgeable and so calming. When I got a little nervous he was so reassuring and I was then able to relax knowing that he had things under control. I have 2 more houses to sell and I would not consider anyone other than Bill.

From Bill’s Preferred Closing Attorney: I have worked with Bill Forrest doing many of his closings for several years now. Bill is an exceptional and experienced Realtor and Associate Broker with great depth of knowledge in the field. He is also a very hard worker and fierce but fair advocate for his clients, both buyers and sellers. He does whatever he can to help his clients and get them through and even beyond the closing process. He educates them about mortgages, home ownership, tax exemptions and the need for title insurance. In my experience, his clients always leave my closing table feeling cared for and excited about their next phase in life. He is great with both Buyers and Sellers. I highly recommend Bill.

I have known Bill for 15+ years and he has assisted me in the sale and purchase of three homes…. His scope is more than real estate too – he knows so many bankers as well. He also helped me get a better rate on my last purchase in Underwood Hills. Do yourself a favor and allow him to conduct a free market analysis for you…. it will be worth your time. Thanks Bill – we love our new home!
