Joel J.
"The manner in which you stand by your work and product is absolutely second to none. I have been involved in real estate and construction lending for over 15 years, and have worked with several home builders and custom home builders.
In my years of dealing with home builders, the experience with Forte Homes and Bob Hicks was far and away the single-most impressive handling of a construction related issue that I have ever seen. You stood behind your work, fixed the problem, and did so very quickly without any hesitation."
Scott G. - Arcadia/Paradise Valley
