Craig Forehand - Designated Branch Manager/Broker

I have enjoyed 31 years of Real Estate experience in King and Snohomish Counties, first as a real estate agent servicing clients and then as a Branch Manager assisting real estate professionals to achieve their goals.

I continue to serve clients and build upon my experience in both customer service and mentoring Brokers.

I have hired and coached Brokers at all levels of experience and am committed to their success.  As a state-certified instructor, I ensure that the Brokers in my office stay abreast of current trends in our business as well as current legal information in the ever-changing world of real estate.

Brokers at the Lynnwood Center office can be sure that we will work together to strategize a personalized business plan that is best-suited for them, taking advantage of each person’s unique strengths and exploring areas of business development to increase each Broker’s productivity. 

Helping people succeed in their real estate careers has been the most meaningful reward for me in business. The success of the Brokers in my office is my success.

Representation

I take pride in offering high-caliber full-service residential real estate expertise. My clients are my top priority, and I focus on delivering the best possible results for them.

Expertise

The real estate market is hyperlocal, seasonal and temperamental—in other words, it can change on a dime. Technology has made information more accessible to everyone, but it can be difficult to keep up with recent events that affect home values. The benefits of working with a licensed real estate professional go far beyond what a mobile app, online video, or website can do.

I provide my clients with information on market seasonality and information relevant to what is happening in their specific neighborhood. This customized analysis includes recent comparable sales that factor into an offer and acceptance strategy.

Negotiations

Successful negotiations help move a conversation forward and transform the process into an agreement that’s a win for all parties. Negotiation is not only a skill, but a mindset. I keep my clients’ best interests top of mind as I negotiate on their behalf. 

Transactional Excellence

I am dedicated to transactional excellence for every listing and sale. What this means for you is that I oversee every detail of the real estate transaction. The transaction is far from over once an offer has been accepted. I monitor inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Communication and collaboration with all the partners and parties involved with the transaction ensures a smooth and timely closing. I am committed to my clients before, during and after a sale.
