"Excellent realtor!

Thank you very much :) Forrest submitted offers with me a couple of times. I really appreciate the way he explained everything to me, then did exactly as I asked. In the end, with Mr. Hayley's experience and tenacity i saved a good deal of money on my purchase and closed in 9 days."

"Forrest persisted through the legal difficulties of 1) a condo building owned by multiple corporations, 2) difficulty with buyer financing and 3) a difficult owner (myself) over a year to sell my condo by Green Lake in Seattle (when none of the other condo owners could sell their places).

He spent several hours photographing my condo and was meticulous in capturing the best angles and describing the place in an accurate and attractive manner. His knowledge of real estate law and practices is unsurpassed and, when added to his positive attitude and honesty, makes for the best real estate agent one could ask for. I was so impressed with his calm and skill in navigating the difficulties of selling my place that I am asking he look for and handle my next real estate purchase. I recommend Forrest Hayley for anyone unsure of the real estate market (and real estate agents). He is simply the BEST!"

Forrest is a great guy.

He is patient and knowledgeable. As a first time home buyer he made me feel very comfortable. He spent a lot of time working with me and offered honest opinions so I can make informed decisions on a home that I want.

"Forrest sold a property that several real estate agents said would not sell.

He marketed it professionally and courteously. He is a joy to work with because he knows the market and what to do to help his clients. I feel very blessed to know and work with him. He is completely honest and has a very high level of integrity. Previously I had one real estate agent make threats and try to actually take possession of the property. Totally unreal situation. Other realtors did not wish to do the work. I recommend Forrest Hayley highly. He truly cares about his clients."

"In January of this year we began a journey that would take us to the lowest low and now the highest high.

We had been contemplating a change, a new chapter, and a relocation to be near our daughter's and grandchildren in Seattle. I clicked on a property on Zillow and it was my good fortune to have Forrest Haley come in to our lives. Forrest has been listening to our needs, wants and dreams and guiding us though out our search. In 1 month, May, we sold our home of 42 years in California and made the drive up to the PNW June 02. Once here Forrest actually got to meet us. My intuition from talking with him by phone and e mail was 100% accurate. We found our new forever home and as we were really novices at the buying/selling world of today again Forrest was with us and touching base, answering questions, and generally looking out for us. We cannot thank him enough for making this happen for us. We would recommend Forrest Haley for your selling/buying needs."

"This was our second time working with Forrest as our Real Estate Broker.

The first time, Forrest helped us purchase an investment property. He worked diligently with us and the seller that resulted in a quick close and a win-win situation for everyone. This time, he helped us sell our main home that we lived in for many years. Forrest’s expertise helped guide us through the difficulties of selling a home, especially in the fall. He listened to our wants, needs, and concerns and worked hard to meet every one of them. Forrest was always very prompt and kept us informed and educated throughout the process. We would highly recommend Forrest to anyone and plan on working more with him in the future."

Okay, it was not the first time we bought and sold homes and we met several agents in the past; our favorite agent was on vacation and we met Forrest through a referral.

Forrest was very thorough and experienced agent, other agents seemed to focus on the house price you will buy and will sell and have the urgency of you making an offer quickly, however we didn't feel it that way when working with Forrest. He was kind, patient and always on our side in the buying process. I highly recommend Forrest and will be working with him in the near future.

Forrest is hands down the best realtor in Seattle, WA.

Forrest was very hands on and guided us throughout the entire buying process. We were able to close down a brand new property and he was the only realtor that worked within our needs and didn't pressure us to buy anything that was out of our comfort. I would recommend Forrest he is hands down the best realtor in WA

Vic G.

Forrest was very proactive and professional in handling our listing.

He answered all our questions and his advice was insightful and accurate. He got us the price we wanted in the time frame we needed. Our experience with him was very positive and we would highly recommend him to anyone needing the services of a real estate expert.

"Forrest has been a joy to work with.

He's extremely knowledgeable with the Tacoma area and provided the best advice. He listens to what the seller is trying to do and works within the constraints. I would recommend Forrest to any future seller/buyer. Thank you Forrest."

Ray R.

"Forest helped our group of out of area investors sell a very complicated property that was over a year in the making.

He assisted us with county regulators, engineers and helped manage redevelopment permitting. He went way above and beyond what could be expected of a residential realtor."

Chad B.

"It was lucky for me that I met Forrest Hayley for my business.

When I decided to buy a home here, I did not know where to begin and what to do at all because I was a foreign buyer. Forrest helped me through the buying process with easy including not only finding the best suitable home for my family but all the extra processes that required to a foreign buyer. I loved working with Forrest and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a trust advisor on buying or selling a house especially foreign buyers."

EJ H.

"Forrest has extensive knowledge in all areas of the realty market.

He proactively worked with the selling agent on a daily basis, and he was always at the forefront knocking on the lender's door to obtain answers in a timely manner to ensure loan closed on or before the scheduled loan closing date. The most unusual personality trait is his honesty. I have purchased four other homes in the past, and Forrest far exceeded previous realtors who repeatedly mislead me and made untrue statements about the listing agent or the sellers. Hands down, Forrest has proven to possess the highest of integrity."
