Sue Forbes

Sarah Corliss was tireless in finding me the right home. She went way above and beyond what was necessary to close the deal, including meeting repair people and responding to texts late in the night. I could not have hoped for a better partner in this huge endeavor.

Our agent, Sarah, was great! Personable and professional, she was always prompt to respond even to the smallest questions. It was our first home purchase so Sarah provided a lot of information to us about the process, and did a lot of leg work as we were out of town during much of the process. We felt well taken care of and are happy with our new home!

Sue Forbes and Associates came up with a fair market price, took great pictures which were posted on the internet for quick and widespread marketing. The property was sold in 41 days from start to finish. Sue Forbes was in touch and in contact with every detail of the transaction.

We worked with Sarah Corliss, one of Sue Forbes and Associates agents in Trinidad, CA. Sarah Corliss is an outstanding agent and I would strongly recommend that buyers and sellers contact her first for any real estate need. She recently helped find us the perfect house for our specific situation, and then was THE key element in our being able to make a successful yet budget-friendly offer, plus get all of the inspections and needed work done without delay. Not only is she warm and fun to work with, but she's incredibly knowledgeable regarding the Humboldt County real estate market. She has keen insight into every aspect of the field and is well connected with all of the local inspectors, county offices, and helpful workers. It's a wacky story, but we actually could have lost the house to another set of eager buyers if Sarah hadn't have had the go getter personality along with the technological prowess to pull over on the highway and use her phone to help us auto-sign and "virtually" submit our counter offer acceptance paperwork in right ahead of the other potential buyers' (higher than ours!) offer! Sarah really saved our butts--we're super grateful! Her whole office, Forbes and Associates in Trinidad, CA, are extra knowledgeable and great to work with, but Sarah's our hero. She'll go the extra mile for you. Thanks, Sarah!

Very professional, patient, understanding and worked with us.

We worked with Sarah Corliss of Forbes and Associates to purchase a family property on the north coast. Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very professional, always showed up on time, and demonstrated confidence inspiring attention to detail. She showed a genuine interest in our preferences and desires as they pertained to the property that we were looking for, and provided plentiful information regarding properties that she thought would interest us. Sarah's communication skills were excellent, she replied promptly to emails and phone calls, she was resourceful in gathering information, and when necessary she was able to refer us to competent professionals who could do research and answer our questions. Sarah Corliss at Forbes and Associates comes recommended enthusiastically and without hesitation.

My husband and I worked with Sarah Corliss in the purchase of our first home and were extremely happy with our experience from start to finish. Sarah has an amazing personality - she is warm and friendly and puts you at ease immediately. At the same time, she is extremely professional and knowledgeable, and will work tirelessly on your behalf. Our situation was a little challenging as we were moving from out of town, but Sarah made the process as smooth as possible . I highly recommend working with Sarah Corliss and Sue Forbes on purchasing your home.

Sue Forbes and Sarah Corliss true professionals in every aspect of their work. From working with us to establish a selling price to taking care of appearance fix-its (paint touch up; carpet replacement; septic and other inspections) for us in CA while we were living in OH was a HUGE help...completely hassle free on our end as they set up the service, passed the bills on to us and made sure the work was done right. When Sue and Sarah say they are going to do something it gets done on or before the time they set with you to get it done and they make sure the work is done right and at a good price. They are worth every penny of their 6% commission and more! When you have a property to sell and you want it done right, call Sue and Sarah at Forbes and Associates. Joe and Peggy Mark, Dayton, OH

I was in town for a short period of time and I contacted Forbes and associates about looking at a home. I was responded to immediately, by Sarah Corliss and we looked at homes that day. Eventually I purchased a home from Sarah Corliss within 60 days! Sarah's responsiveness is impeccable, not only in the first response, but all communication thereafter. She is very knowledgeable in her field and because of her responsiveness, I was able to get the home I wanted, before others were even able to make an offer! Sarah is always there for you, even after the sale is complete. I live out of the area, and she has been so helpful with assisting me, even with helping me with get the necessary quotes for various projects I wanted to get done in my new home. I feel very grateful to have found Forbes and Associates, they treat you like a close friend. I highly recommend Sarah and am lucky to have found someone so knowledgeable of the area.

Sue was great!!! We were looking for a home inTrinidad and she was very helpful, showing homes that had not yet been listed and aggressively seeking possible homes that she knew were what we wanted. After we found a home she then went out of her way to help us sell the old one, showing up at all the inspections and keeping her eye on the process. If you are buying or selling a home in Trinidad at can't recommend her highly enough.

Forbes and Associates made purchasing an investment property very easy. Sarah was very prompt in helping me find just the right property for me. It needed a little tlc which is what I was looking for. Sarah was so helpful in the whole process.

We were very pleased overall. There were problems with both of these properties, but Sue and her staff managed to overcome every difficulty. They even managed to close one sale by email when we were in Colorado. Well organized and highly professional.

Sue and her assistant Sarah were there when we needed them and answered all our questions clearly and promptly. They supported us at every step. Since our property is tricky to sell (lots of acreage in a very remote area), when it did not "sell" during the "buying season" Sue connected us with a trusted property manager who has rented the house. We plan to put the house back on the market within six months and work with Forbes and Associates again.

Although we had good experiences with previous realtors, we chose to work with Forbes and Associates based on the glowing recommendations of two sets of friends. We're glad we took their advice. Sue Forbes and Sarah Corliss provided everything we were looking for in a real estate company. They were very knowledgeable about the area, they listened and responded to our needs, and they were extremely accessible. We never once had to track them down or wonder about the status of our properties. What also impressed us was how seamlessly they worked with the other key players: realtors, contractors, inspectors, and title company, to keep the whole process on track. And, they are genuinely caring people who went out of their way to make sure we stayed sane during times that could have been very stressful. In fact, we developed such faith in their abilities that our nickname for Sue and Sarah was "Team Terrific," because no matter what question or concern we had, they answered it, they handled it, they were on it; like having our own personal super heros. Forbes and Associates truly embody the reason you hire professionals.

This home purchase required some tricky negotiations and Forbes and Associates handled it with ease and professionalism. I would use them again in a heartbeat for buying or selling any type of property in the Humboldt County area.

Forbes and Associates provides excellent real estate agent services, they are always there for you and will go above and beyond... I was really impressed by their attention to detail and protective demeanor of the client, always pointing out every small detail and being totally transparent, as a first time buyer I have worked with numerous agents in the past few years looking for my home and I highly recommend Forbes and Associates to anyone in the vicinity of Humboldt County.
