Lisa Forward

"I met Lisa about five years ago when I was just dreaming of buying a home overlooking the ocean. When we met, she knew that I wasn't quite ready to purchase. I was waiting for escrows elsewhere to close on other property I owned in order to make the transaction work and there were a few hiccups along the way on my side, but she never lost patience waiting for me or her upbeat attitude. Every six months or so she would check with me to see how I was doing with words of encouragement. She never gave up, even when I became so discouraged. Well, today she will be handing me the keys to my dream ... with an INCREDIBLE view overlooking the ocean. It's everything I've ever wanted. She went above and beyond to find this home, put in an offer quickly and make it work. I know had it not been for her I would NEVER have gotten this home. I cannot express my gratitude. She is a true professional and the BEST! " - Carol N.

"Lisa is simply the agent to dream about. She became our super helpful and knowledgeable, supportive and highly professional leader through the whole process of selling the house from the beginning to the end and even further in a future with her help to find an agent for us in a new place. We also like her dynamic and modern style of work with newest technologies in real estate sale market. Our six stars!" - Olga T.

"We chose Lisa because she was very familiar with the Half Moon Bay area, but mostly she came highly recommended. I`m pretty sure we drove her nuts, between showing us lots for sale, for days before changing our minds to buying a house. Lisa guided us over so many hurdles and all she ever said was, “if there is anything else I can do, don`t hesitate to call”. Lisa did all the searching for our new house while marketing our existing home because we needed to sell ours to make our purchase smoother. She accomplished the sale as well. She guided us every step of the way thru a bumpy road to a smooth transition in the end. If you are looking for a THOROUGH, Conscientious Knowledgeable and Professional Real Estate Agent, the I recommend moving forward with Lisa Forward." - Mario & Joanne B.

"I never would have had my beach dream house if it wasn’t for you. You went above and beyond and are s true professional. You’re truly the best! Thank you!" - Carol N.

"Most families look upon the sale of their home as an overwhelming and daunting process. Fortunately, my wife did her homework early. She identified several real estate agents in Half Moon Bay, California of which one stood out immediately. It is a point worth making, that the local advertisement for Lisa Forward at Alain Pinel Realty provided us with significant data that illustrated her experience and knowledge of the industry, especially on the coastside communities of Half Moon Bay. Now please remember, one of the most singular characteristics in the relationship between the seller and agent is TRUST. After our first meeting, my wife and I were TOTALLY on board with Lisa, to the extent that we decided no further interviews were needed. So what led us to the decision? Lisa has a super level of communication and relationship development. She makes the seller (and subsequently the buyer) feel at ease and comfortable. You know that the “home sale” is in good and caring hands. Further, Lisa’s overall management style is very professional, comprehensive, direct and all encompassing. She does not leave anything to chance! She utilizes all latest techniques in marketing and advertising. She is superb! In summary, Lisa deserves the MVP award when it comes to realtors and we certainly would not hesitate to highly recommend Lisa to anyone needing her services. We thank our heavenly stars for guiding us to Lisa and Alain Pinel." - Rob D.

"The recent sale of my home was filled with difficult challenges, both known and unknown that resulted in the unfortunate decision to change my realtor mid-stream. After-the-fact, I am extremely thankful that I had the foresight to do so. Knowing realtor Lisa Forward casually over the years I was reluctant to hire a “friend”, but hindsight being 20/20, the excellent outcome of the sale of my home clarifies that I made an excellent decision. Ever the consummate professional, Lisa proved to me time and time again over the weeks that no detail is too small, nor any situation too big for her to be completely on top of – and there were several of each. Even some hand-holding was not taken lightly when the situation got difficult, and that was genuine on her part which I deeply appreciate. She was there for me and for the sale of my home every step of the way. When difficulties arose, she dealt with it in the moment. The end result was a top-notch sale that I know would not have been achieved without her. There is a reason Lisa Forward is at the top of her game. She is an honor to her profession and completely trustworthy and professional in every situation. If you are looking to sell or buy a home, there is no better realtor on the coast." - Michele D.
