In their own words...

        After six weeks of searching for "the right house" with a different REALTOR, my wife happened across Lee Forbes' website and contacted Lee Forbes. In less than 24 hours, Lee Forbes had selected 20 homes to show us that matched our criteria. Our first time out with Lee Forbes we found the home we wanted, wrote the offer, and are now happily settling in. Lee Forbes was with us every step of the way, promptly answering calls and the questions we had. Then there was the bonus of the FREE moving truck that saved us hundreds of dollars!! We could not be more satisfied with the service we received.

                Lee Forbes was the man that always came through. He went above and beyond the call and really was the closer to the deal.  Closings always have their bumps and bruises but Lee Forbes was Always there to facilitate the process. Extremely Professional!!

                                                                                                                                                                          -Paul Thompson & Karen Kushner

                Lee Forbes met our Family at the Hotel the afternoon we flew in from out of state for what we thought would be a stressful four day house hunting trip. Lee Forbes was always "low key" and calm; never pressuring us, but rather, actually made us comfortable with the whole process.  We enjoyed his knowledge and professionalism when he "went to bat for us" at the last minute to dispute extra costs that arose just before closing. Great job from start to finish!

                                                                                                                                                                           -Kim & Sally Schoeffel

                After talking with two other REALTORS, Lee Forbes was the first to listen to what we were looking for, was considerate of our "spendable" monies, and showed us the properties we wanted to see. I commend Lee Forbes highly for his excellent communication and listening abilities and his follow through. I recommend Lee to all my relatives and friends.

                                                                                                                                -Peter & Kathy Tortolano

        Working with Lee Forbes was a wonderful experience. While finding us a home in an area we were not familiar with, Lee Forbes made us feel welcome; nothing we asked for seemed to be a problem. If you are moving from the North, Lee Forbes is the best for southern hospitality!
