Belinda was SO helpful with the process of my husband and I buying our first house. She made the process so smooth, answered all of our (millions of) questions, and was so on top of it! We would recommend her to anyone and everyone :)

Ms. Belinda assisted my family with 3 separate transactions: purchasing a home, later selling that home, and purchasing another home. Her knowledge of the business is impeccable! She paid close attention to my family needs and she always provided amazing options for us to decide on, She is very patient and always accessible when we contact her. She is not just our broker, she is part of our family now! When our children are prepared to purchase, we will only trust their wants and needs to Ms. Belinda! Blessings!❤️

My husband Patrick and I were given Belinda's name by a high school classmate of mine. Belinda was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, friendly, easy to talk to, easy to understand, and most of all, VERY PROFESSIONAL. My husband is a veteran and he was very pleased with her. She went to bat for us and we received a Grand Slam for sure! The home buying process using Belinda as our Realtor was not cumbersome at all!! It was a smooth transition from beginning to end. If you are a veteran, I highly recommend her. She is a gem!! Thank you Belinda!

I worked with Belinda to purchase my first property in February 2025, and I can honestly say she made what could have been a stressful experience feel completely manageable. From day one, she took the time to truly listen to what I was looking for and never tried to persuade me toward something outside my vision or budget.

What stood out most was her communication. She walked me through every step of the process clearly and thoroughly, which did wonders for my peace of mind. I had many questions throughout the process and she went the extra mile to make sure I never felt lost or overwhelmed. When it came time to find the right place, she delivered and I knew it was the perfect fit right away.

Belinda is the kind of agent you hope to get lucky enough to work with & I'm so glad I did. She's knowledgeable, professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in her clients' happiness.

My first introduction to Belinda Forrest was receiving a sympathy card for the passing of my mother in which I had inherited our family property. I lived out of state, and it took a few months before I was able to meet with her. After my consultation I secured her services. The issues with my property were numerous and at times seemed insurmountable! It took several years to finally place it on the market. Belinda was there every year and every step of the way, as an Agent, advocate, researcher, advisor and friend. She is tenacious, thorough, and committed to the client. She goes above and beyond to make the transaction as smooth and seamless as possible. Her talent, skill, knowledge of the industry, and authentic personality combined make her the ultimate professional. Belinda truly cares. I would recommend her services to anyone looking to sell their property in South Carolina.
