WHAT Forrest'S CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY


"I've had the pleasure of working with Forrest Hudson as my Real Estate Broker several times over the last 5 years. Forrest has represented me both as a buyer and seller, and for my personal single family home and a multifamily rental property in Chicago. Forrest is extremely competent and has a calm and confident demeanor. This rare combination is exactly what I needed to navigate the variety of personalities involved in my transactions, and ultimately ensuring the sales came to fruition. What I most truly appreciate about working with Forrest is his availability and quick response times - in my experience something all brokers claim but rarely deliver as Forrest does. I highly recommend Forrest Hudson as a broker to anyone buying/selling in Chicago or the North Shore. Anyone would be fortunate to have Forrest represent them as their agent. We look forward to working with Forrest again. " - Emily L.

"My family and I worked closely with Forrest over the course of a few years to find the perfect house for our young family. Our search hit a few speed bumps as we encountered COVID as well as short housing supply and raising rates. It was critical that we could find a house and sell ours at the same time as to not displace our young children. Forrest was incredibly patient with us and showed us houses immediately after they were listed. Ultimately, we were able to put all of the pieces in place and found (with no exaggeration) the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood. We could not have done this without Forrest's guidance and savvy. Thank you, Forrest!" - Anthony B.

His parents, Joanne and Steve Hudson, founded The Hudson Company in 2001 and after 18 successful years merged the company into Compass in 2018. Forrest was surrounded by real estate discussions at home most of his life and is very knowledgeable about the North Shore and Chicago markets. He understands what’s important in real estate when representing clients on both the buy and sell side.

Forrest believes that the most important attributes in a real estate broker is integrity and a strong work ethic and works diligently for his clients. Forrest’s other strengths include his patience with clients, his strong listening and problem solving skills and his ability to educate others through clear and concise communication, all of which are valuable assets in residential real estate brokerage.

One of Forrest’s passions is his concern for our environment. In 2011, he co-founded the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) Youth Corp, an environmental cleanup group. He is also a big believer that we can make an environmental difference in real estate through sustainable construction, renewable energy and conservation of our natural resources. When he’s not working you can find Forrest in the great outdoors camping, hiking, snowboarding or mountain biking.
