Our Story
At Forthright Home Connections, our journey began with struggle, resilience, and a deep desire to do things differently.
I know what it feels like to struggle. Growing up in mobile homes, eating cereal for meals - those experiences shaped everything about how I approach business today.
After years of study and more than 15 years in real estate finance, I worked alongside a local entrepreneur to build a thriving multifamily investment business. Later, we launched a single family lending company that has completed thousands of deals. But through that experience, I saw the darker side of the industry.
Too often, so called “wholesalers” walked away with huge profits while desperate homeowners were left with unfair offers and buyers were squeezed into razor thin margins. The system was broken and everyone was losing except the middlemen.
That’s why I founded Forthright Home Connections. Because there’s a better way.
What We Do Differently
Complete Transparency – We show you our entire calculation - the after-repair value, renovation costs, our fee, and the buyer's projected profit. You see exactly why we're making our offer and how everyone benefits.
Fixed, Disclosed Fees – We set our assignment fee when we make your offer, and we show it to you in writing. No hidden markups. No bidding wars on your property.
Curated Buyers – We work exclusively with experienced, respectful investors from our network - people we know will close and treat your property right.
Honoring Your Home – We understand that the house you're selling isn't just a commodity. It's where you raised children, built memories, lived your life - or perhaps where you yourself grew up. That history deserves respect, not cold calculations and lowball offers.
Our Mission
We exist to create win-win-win scenarios: fair prices for sellers, good deals for buyers, and sustainable profits for our company. We believe business should lift everyone up, not exploit anyone's desperation or naivety.
Every deal we do follows a simple test: Can we sleep at night knowing how we treated everyone involved?
Our Values
Whether you're a homeowner facing a difficult situation or a professional considering joining our team, these are the values that guide everything we do:
Humility – The willingness to learn, take feedback, and sometimes look foolish in service of growth.
Ambition – The drive to be excellent at what you do and set yourself apart through genuine effort.
Ethics – Both work ethic and operational ethics. We want people who care about people.
Our Vision
In 5-10 years, we want to look back and see that we built something meaningful - a company that thrived by doing right by everyone involved. We want our team members to go home each day knowing they made a difference in people's lives, with time and energy left over for their own families and dreams.
We want sellers to tell their friends: "These people treated us with respect and honesty when we needed it most."
We want buyers to say: "They gave us a fair deal and straight answers."
And we want our team to say: "I'm proud of the work we do and the way we do it."
The Bottom Line
We don't need this income - we want to earn it the right way. We're fundamentally good people who happen to be in business together. If a deal doesn't feel right, we walk away. If we can't treat everyone fairly, we don't do the deal.
Because in a world full of inequality and exploitation, we choose to build something better.
