Forrest
Hayley
Tennessee, Washington
Knoxville, TN

After graduating high school, I joined the military at the age of 17 to serve my country and to see the world. My first assignment while serving in the Air Force was McChord AFB, Washington. During this time, I fell in love with the state and with my future wife. Our love for Washington led us to return after my retirement from the Air Force, and my desire to help people led me into a career in Real Estate in 2014. In 2021, we moved to Knoxville, Tennessee to be closer to my family. I am currently the Principal Broker of Kelly Right Real of Tennessee, owner and instructor at Gateway School of Real Estate, the highest rated Real Estate School in Washington and hopefully soon in Tennessee.
To become a Real Estate Broker in Washington state, you are only required to attend 90 clock hours of Real Estate Education and pass the state/national exam. Clearly this is insufficient. Too many agents are uninformed on many subjects which has led to unsatisfied sellers and buyers and sometimes lawsuits. I have earned the only degree in Real Estate offered in the Northwest from North Seattle College to provide the best Real Estate services possible to all the people of this great state.

In addition to staying up to date on my own education, I also teach first time home buyer courses, VA home buyers, courses for the Washington State Housing and Finance Commission's low or zero down payment homebuyers program, as well as the full 90 clock hour Pre-Licensing courses for those interested in becoming Real Estate Brokers. 
The military and my faith have ingrained in me the importance of professionalism, excellence, compassion, and doing the right thing always and I will do whatever I can to help you achieve your dreams!

"Forest helped our group of out of area investors sell a very complicated property that was over a year in the making. He assisted us with county regulators, engineers and helped manage redevelopment permitting. He went way above and beyond what could be expected of a residential realtor." - Chad B.

"Forrest has extensive knowledge in all areas of the realty market. He proactively worked with the selling agent on a daily basis, and he was always at the forefront knocking on the lender's door to obtain answers in a timely manner to ensure loan closed on or before the scheduled loan closing date. The most unusual personality trait is his honesty. I have purchased four other homes in the past, and Forrest far exceeded previous realtors who repeatedly mislead me and made untrue statements about the listing agent or the sellers. Hands down, Forrest has proven to possess the highest of integrity." - Bob B.

"Excellent realtor! Thank you very much:) Forrest submitted offers with me a couple of times. I really appreciate the way he explained everything to me, then did exactly as I asked. In the end, with Mr. Hayley's experience and tenacity i saved a good deal of money on my purchase and closed in 9 days." - C.X.

"Forrest persisted through the legal difficulties of 1) a condo building owned by multiple corporations, 2) difficulty with buyer financing and 3) a difficult owner (myself) over a year to sell my condo by Green Lake in Seattle (when none of the other condo owners could sell their places). He spent several hours photographing my condo and was meticulous in capturing the best angles and describing the place in an accurate and attractive manner. His knowledge of real estate law and practices is unsurpassed and, when added to his positive attitude and honesty, makes for the best real estate agent one could ask for. I was so impressed with his calm and skill in navigating the difficulties of selling my place that I am asking he look for and handle my next real estate purchase. I recommend Forrest Hayley for anyone unsure of the real estate market (and real estate agents). He is simply the BEST!" - Mark P.

"Forest sold a property that several real estate agents said would not sell. He marketed it professionally and courteously. He is a joy to work with because he knows the market and what to do to help his clients. I feel very blessed to know and work with him. He is completely honest and has a very high level of integrity. Previously I had one real estate agent make threats and try to actually take possession of the property. Totally unreal situation. Other realtors did not wish to do the work. I recommend Forest Hayley highly. He truly cares about his clients." - S.S.

"This was our second time working with Forrest as our Real Estate Broker. The first time, Forrest helped us purchase an investment property. He worked diligently with us and the seller that resulted in a quick close and a win-win situation for everyone. This time, he helped us sell our main home that we lived in for many years. Forrest’s expertise helped guide us through the difficulties of selling a home, especially in the fall. He listened to our wants, needs, and concerns and worked hard to meet every one of them. Forrest was always very prompt and kept us informed and educated throughout the process. We would highly recommend Forrest to anyone and plan on working more with him in the future." - S.


"Okay, it was not the first time we bought and sold homes and we met several agents in the past; our favorite agent was on vacation and we met Forrest through a referral. Forrest was very thorough and experienced agent, other agents seemed to focus on the house price you will buy and will sell and have the urgency of you making an offer quickly, however we didn't feel it that way when working with Forrest. He was kind, patient and always on our side in the buying process.I highly recommend Forrest and will be working with him in the near future." - Christy H.
