"I feel so fortunate that we were able to work with Dale. From the first time we met he listened to our priorities, he advised us of options and market conditions, he coached us on how best to make the house attractive to buyers, and throughout it all made us comfortable and confident about the choices we were making. He even brought things to help stage the place!
I think the things that impressed me most, in working with Dale, were his detailed preparation and thorough knowledge of "what works", and his ability to explain real-estate matters to us in understandable ways so that we could make decisions that helped us move forward.
I really appreciate, too, Dale's incredible responsiveness. There was never a time when we wondered what was going on or what needed to happen next. He was with us, partnering and guiding, every step of the way.
I'd recommend Dale without reservation. He deserves a gazillion stars ...but since five is all it will allow, I guess we'll be okay with that."

Bought a house with Nitika Kapur recently and had a great experience. She was easy to work with, super responsive, and helped us through every step. If you’re looking for a top agent in Lynnwood or Snohomish County, I’d recommend reaching out to her.

"From the first phone call I had with Dale, I was confident we’d found our agent. Dale is an excellent listener who pays close attention to his client’s needs. He is sharp and always ready with a game plan. Even in a difficult situation and market, he was encouraging and didn’t give up on us. As a result of his hard work and expertise, we are now living in a house beyond what we thought we could find. My seven-year-old son said it best: 'Mr. Dale doesn’t feel like our agent, Mom; he feels like our friend!'"

"Dale Forney surpassed our expectations. We were ready to sell and Dale explained what was needed from us to make this happen. Happen it did. We sold our home in less than 3 weeks, no reduction in price, and all expectations were met. He is very knowledgeable and can quickly maneuver the system of paperwork, inspections and ultimately the closing. The best part of working with Dale is the professionalism and care he shows all parties involved. We highly recommend Dale for all your real estate needs."

Brian is an outstanding real estate professional. I met him at my neighborhood HOA meeting where he was a guest speaker. He had represented one of my neighbors in a few of her real estate transactions and she highly recommended him. My son was getting ready to buy a home, so I passed on Brian’s information to him. My son and his wife ended up having Brian represent them in the purchase of their new home and they were so impressed with him that they had him list their former home as well. It turned out to be a great decision! Brian's expertise and depth of experience in all things real estate is exceptional. He negotiated and got a significantly lower price for my son on his home purchase, and he worked to get more for my son's former home than he even expected. Brian offered to host our HOA neighborhood night out in appreciation for our referral. He arranged for the event to be catered by a local restaurant, ordering a Taco Bar for over 60 people. The event was a spectacular success, and lightened the workload for us since the caterers took care of the cleanup. Brian has an outgoing, jovial personality, and he clearly enjoys meeting and talking to all kinds of people. These attributes and the fact that he works hard on behalf of his clients earns him an A+ in my book!

"You will want Dale to be on your side when selling your home. He is an aggressive marketer who went above & beyond in his efforts to sell our home at the highest market price. In doing so he also found the buyer for our home and set a new benchmark for the unique desirable rural neighborhood of upscale custom homes in Hidden Creeks."

"Thank you, Dale, for helping us find our house in beautiful AZ! We live in the Pacific Northwest and we wanted to have a place to escape to every year from the grey winters here. We didn’t know where to start, what to expect, or where to look in the large area of North Scottsdale. Being out-of-state meant we needed someone with strong local insight. Dale educated us about the different neighborhoods and helped us navigate in such an unprecedented time of record demand and low inventory. Dale took us to the beautiful new project of Storyrock, which we fell in love with. Understanding the steep demand, Dale quickly got us on the VIP list of the builder, advocating for us as serious buyers. Because of him being relentless and in touch with their on-site sales team, we were able to move our way up the list and get under contract in the early releases of the project. All throughout the process we have felt confident that, with Dale, we are in good hands."

"Dale provided excellent representation for the sale of our home, and we definitely recommend him to anyone buying or selling in this market.
The process began with Dale listening to our plans and concerns which he made sure to clearly understand before proceeding. He then prepared a highly detailed market analysis comparing all aspects of the property considering both the buyer’s and appraiser’s viewpoints. Immediately prior to putting the house on the market, he reworked the analysis based on a recent sale in the neighborhood and adjusted the asking price accordingly.
Dale has a great talent for presenting homes. His arrangement provided a wonderful showing, and he prepared a strong online presentation that illustrated the home’s best features with inviting descriptions.
Throughout the process, Dale was generous with his time, constantly reviewing the market conditions, personally providing the staging, and always available for our questions. Once offers began to arrive, Dale remained focused and organized, calmly handling the deluge of tour requests, and competing offers. With the final buyer, he negotiated the contract to our great benefit.
Dale is adept, knowledgeable, and personable with a great sense of humor. We absolutely recommend him to represent buyer or seller."

"I am taking a new direction in my life that prompted me to leave Hidden Creeks. I wanted to thank those of you that I have known for the past 12 years for being great neighbors in a great neighborhood!
I also wanted to give a HUGE shout-out to Dale Forney who was not only my next-door neighbor but also my Realtor for the sale of my property. His professionalism, creativity, guidance, and research absolutely yielded a very short sales cycle of 26 days and culminated in a full listing price transaction.
Not only did he navigate with me through the myriad of changes, challenges, and irritations that a home sale brings but he went a great distance in recommending to me what changes I needed to make to optimize my sales price. He also was able to connect me with several trades (carpeting, painting, landscaping, etc.) and actually assisted in project management of these tradesmen as I actually moved a few days before my house went on the market.
If you are planning to relocate, I strongly recommend you meet with Dale for his insights into the market, analytics, and specifically his knowledge of the neighborhood. As an original owner, no one knows Hidden Creeks better!"

We've hired Brian twice, and there's a reason for that. He's thorough, very personable and works super hard on behalf of his clients, who he treats more like friends. The communication was excellent too, and we were never left wondering. In both cases, we got above asking, because he never quits! Highly recommend our friend and #1 agent Brian! The Burins

"Dale was great to work with. As a realtor in the Seattle area I know how I like my business handled. I told Dale I was looking for an investment property in Arizona and he informed me of all the areas I should be looking. He updated me with not only future aspects of the towns I was looking in but also upcoming businesses coming to the area and future construction that would make the home I purchased an ideal investment. I was so impressed with Dale I made him my number one referral partner in Arizona. Great job Dale !!"

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Nitika Kapur to buy our home in 2024 during what felt like one of the toughest housing markets—with high mortgage rates and fierce competition. From start to finish, Nitika was patient, professional, and incredibly supportive.
Her ability to remain calm and encouraging helped us navigate what could have been an overwhelming process. She truly listened to our needs, guided us through every step, and provided expert advice to ensure we made informed decisions. Her knowledge of the market and attention to detail were invaluable.
We couldn’t have asked for a better advocate during this journey, and we’re so grateful for her dedication to helping us find our new home. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about her clients, look no further than Nitika. Highly recommended!

If you want service that goes above and beyond anything you have hoped for, Dale is your man. From our very first meeting, before he had the business, he was prepared, knowledgeable and knew more about our property than we did. Ours was a unique property, 26 acre timber farm in Snohomish. From beginning to end we felt like we were Dale's only clients. He was honest and upfront about everything. I had to work with another agent to buy a property, and the difference was staggering. Dale carried us through every step, so we never had a thing to concern ourselves with. It was only by chance that we met Dale. Thank God for that chance."

After a lengthy initial interview, Dale devoted long hours to evaluating the market and preparing our home for sale. Both the home’s staging and the on-line display were inviting and carefully arranged. The result was strong interest from several buyers and a quick sale.
Dale was always available for our questions and provided thorough explanations for every step of the process. He was constantly thinking of different possible outcomes and was prepared regardless of whatever turns the process may have taken.
Five stars for an honest and trustworthy Realtor."

"It was so nice to work with such a professional. Each of us was able to represent our clients in a win-win negotiation where each party was satisfied with their representation. Furthermore I was thoroughly pleased with how his listing showed to my buyer. The attention to detail is often missed as I like to say "not every agent is created equal". Dale did such a great job of making sure the property showed well, was staged and professionally cleaned upon my buyer moving in. She is so thrilled with her new property and I truly believe this was a coordinated effort by each party. Thank you so much Dale for your excellent job on your listing and congratulations to your seller!"

He was able to position our home competitively by considering all aspects of marketing: he consulted us on how to best stage our home while respecting our limited budget, Dale’s team covered the gamut of photography, marketing materials, advertising content and publication. And the photography was truly the best I’ve ever seen - a competitive edge in the current era of social distancing. Then there’s Dale’s negotiating skills - don’t let the nice guy fool you... he is tough and protects his clients. Trustworthy, knowledgeable, and pleasant! Dale’s the best!"

"As a fellow Realtor, I have the opportunity to work with a lot of different agents, and I can honestly say that Dale was an absolute pleasure to work with. We recently closed a transaction together in Everett, and from start to finish he was professional, responsive, honest, and genuinely kind.
Real estate transactions can have their challenges, but Dale's communication and positive attitude made the entire process feel seamless. He was always quick to respond, kept everyone informed, and approached every conversation with professionalism and respect. Most importantly, it was clear that he truly cared about doing what was best for his clients while also working collaboratively to create a successful outcome for everyone involved.
My buyers and I had a wonderful experience working with Dale. Smooth transactions don't happen by accident, they happen when you're working with great people who know their business and treat others well. Dale is one of those professionals. I would gladly work with him again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely good Realtor."

Further, Dale treats people well. He was professional and kept the relationship with the seller’s agent pleasant and patient with all of us.

"I contacted Dale to help me list and purchase a new home. He was a Realtor in our old neighborhood (Hidden Creeks), so I knew he would have expertise and first-hand experience to find a buyer for our home. In addition, Dale had the task of finding our forever home. Our relationship was quick because Dale is so professional and does not waste any time. We only looked at 3 or so properties when he messaged us at night and said there was a new listing that just came online that fit all of our criteria. We set an appointment for the next day. As soon as we saw the property, we knew it was our forever home. The transaction was absolutely seamless. Dale dealt with the listing agent with ease and professionalism and although there was another offer, he managed to get us locked in with an accepted offer in no time at all. Simultaneously, Dale had to now list and sell our home. Within a few days he had seamlessly sold our house. The purchase of the new house and sale of our old house happened in the same week! Dale is a class act, down to earth, humorous, extremely knowledgeable and walks you through step by step. We would recommend Dale for all your real estate needs."

"Upon meeting Dale Forney for the first time, I knew he would be the right person to list my Husband and I's home. He had listed the property two houses up from our home the summer prior, before we decided to list our home. He was not only very professional and kind but very quick and efficient in selling our neighbor’s home... to the tune of about two weeks!
When the time came to sell our home, it was at a very stressful time for me. My husband had just passed, and I had absolutely no idea of what to do to prepare the house for the sale. Dale walked me through every step effortlessly and with consistent professionalism, patience, kindness, and concern for my well-being through this process.
When the house was ready for listing, due to Dale's expertise and exquisite attention to detail, it sold within the first week. I was impressed by his beautiful photos of our property shown online. If you want someone who can get your home sold, with professionalism, attention to detail and kindness every step of the way, Dale is your man! I highly recommend Dale and RE/MAX Town Center to get the job done!"

"We had been planning our move for some time, but then Covid happened. We needed to relocate carefully. We stayed with family in AZ while we showed/sold our home back in WA and at the same time looked for our new AZ home.
We were looking for a Realtor who would provide GUIDANCE, good communication and an ability to sell our offer as solid buyers.
It was apparent that Dale was knowledgeable, professional and determined to work FOR us....to sell our offer and represent us as solid buyers. He also made sure our lender would be available at all hours/weekends to handle any offers we made at any time. All i's were dotted and all t's crossed!
Initially I thought, how does this work?? Having a Realtor who's licensed in dual states?? But Dale made himself available to us 24/7. He had a local agent available to show us homes as needed, but was also willing to be on a plane and physically here if we felt we needed him at any time.
My advice to a potential buyer (or seller): It's a whole new ball game now. Especially in areas with limited inventory. It's stressful and it's scary. You need an agent who will work to sell YOU and your offer (or your home). Make sure you have someone who knows how to play the game and represent you appropriately. It's a bidding war for that home, and there is more to consider for a solid offer than just the money offered. That is where a good agent is key!
The house we found checked almost all the boxes for our family. We wanted it and there were multiple offers. Dale represented us and showed that we were SOLID buyers and guess what? We got the house! He's a great agent (and also, just a great guy)!"

"Brian was recommended by my niece. He is every bit as great as she described. Although I had a limited budget, he never blinked, but willingly showed me listings until I got my bearings and realized what would work for my budget. When I found the property I was certain could be "the one", he responded immediately to my call at 7:30 pm on a miserable rainy night in November; it was indeed perfect for me. We drove immediately that night to his office to place an offer, and it was accepted. Later, I found out that two other buyers had gone to see it the same night! Because of Brian's promptness and advice, I bought the perfect place for me."
