What do Clients Say?

We were so glad Forest was recommended to us when we decided to sell our home. He gave us info on the returns we could expect from various home improvements. Forest is persistent in all the best ways. The fact that he is funny and a pleasure to work with is a bonus.

Liz Klaber

We are looking to build in North Port and we were put in contact with Forest. We are not from the area so we had no one to help us out. The person who set up our contact with Forest had told us that she would get us someone that we could trust to look out for our best interest, would follow up on any questions we had and would work hard to help us attain our goal. Boy was she ever so right about that kind of agent, Forest Balderson, we are so blessed to have him on our team. Would recommend Forest to anyone who is looking for a fantastic, hard working real estate agent. We give him AAAAAA++++ RATING

Jeff Boldosser

Forest was very easy to work with. He was Professional and informative to help us determine a selling price, and how to market the house. His help with presenting the house and professional photography, along with the open house showings secured a contract within the first two weeks of listing. He was very patient with us as we didn't list the house until three months after meeting him. We had a lot of cleaning out to do first. I would highly recommend him to help you sell your house.
