Reviews
“I had a very good experience purchasing a home with the help of The Forward Group! Cory and Ubaldo provided excellent customer service and explained the process in a way that made it feel very approachable. My family was relocating from Texas, so they were very mindful of our time constraints and arranged showing schedules that very efficiently allowed us to see all of the houses we were interested in. Once we entered the contract stage, they promptly provided updates to ensure we were aware of the current status and explained all deliverables that were required and helped us have a smooth closing. I can't emphasize enough how much I enjoyed working with them and would gladly work with them again!”

“The service provided to me exceeded expectations. There was amazing communication, dedication, and help all around. I highly recommend these guys. Top tier for sure.”
“Colleen and her team were nothing short of spectacular. She listened carefully to my needs and did not dismiss any of them. Rather, she genuinely responded and worked to meet them. Selling a parent's house ( and my former childhood home) was one of the more difficult things I have done in my adult life. Colleen made it very manageable and got it done quickly, efficiently, and with awesome communication.”
