What Our Clients Say
Discover stories of success and satisfaction
"Colleen was amazing. She saved me nearly $40,000 on a beautiful condo in central Illinois. She was very patient and very kind as well as professiona… l when she helped me navigate the process of buying my first home. It was a very easy and stress free process.
She showed me several properties and helped me determine what would be best for me in the long run. We walked through numerous properties and she pointed out things I would not have noticed or looked for that would potentially indicate problems for me in the future.
I strongly recommend working with The Forward Group. You will get a very experienced and professional realtor who will make the stress of buying a house a lot easier to deal with. They really helped me and went above and beyond and I will be forever thankful."
"Very pleasant! Great and patient to work with. Gave honest opinions on places and helped us a lot through the process."
"I cannot give enough praise and stars for the experience I had with Kimberly Neill and the Forward Group as my Realtor. She went above and beyond my e… xpectations with selling my home and purchasing our new home 🏡 For that, my family and I are grateful."
"My Realtor Kimberly Neil was absolutely amazing in my journey for home ownership. I had gone though other realtors and was hitting brick walls. The di… fference with Kimberly is, she listened to what I was looking for and we rolled forward. I v was also on a time-crunch and we made our deadline. Kimberly was an awesome advocate on my behalf and she got the job done. I would highly recommend Kimberly to anyone seeking to purchase their forever home. Even better, I am able to reach out to Kimberly even now if I have any questions relating to my home and is quite knowledgeable who to respond and provide directives to whom I can reach out to for questions.
From past experiences, Kimberly the Best Realtor by far. You will not be disappointed. In all Sincerity,
Thank You for this opportunity to express my gratitude .

She took the time to really understand what I was looking for and found the perfect home for me. Her knowledge, professionalism, and patience made all the difference; she guided me through every step, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt confident in every decision. I’m so grateful for her dedication and support. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and goes above and beyond for their clients, I highly recommend Colleen Basinski!"
"This was my first experience in becoming a homeowner and the Forward group were very patient in meeting my needs."
"Had an amazing experience working with Cory.
From the beginning he was very transparent, has always kept the line of communication open and regular, a… nd even when things got complicated with our buyers, he navigated the situation incredibly and professionally.
At a few different points, my husband and I were extremely frustrated and ready to quit because our buyers were driving us up a wall but Cory managed to keep us at Bay and focused on the end goal- And we ended up selling our home and buying our dream house in the end.
Couldn't be more happy with our experience and I will definitely recommend him for anybody else going through the buying or selling process in the future!"
"Very attentive. Always available. Corey Wendt made the process easy and the Forwards Group estimate for closing was spot on. So i was mentally prepare… d for closing."
