When you find a partnership that is working, it is indeed a joy to watch and even more of an honor to be a participant. The partnership of Russ Forrest Custom Homes and Florida Builders Direct, LLC created--Forrest Atlantic, LLC--a well organized group of real estate professionals with complimenting skills and personalities.

The concept of a partnership between Russ Forrest Custom Homes and Florida Builders Direct materialized only after FBD had experienced the quality of construction Russ was well known for by contracting with his company to build nine homes, all similar in design. Russ, already somewhat fatigued with the constant demands and changes associated with custom home building was rejuvenated by the experience of building to his high quality standards without being subjected to customers who “design on the fly”. Thus, he was able to build unique desirable homes in a fraction of the time and at significantly less cost without sacrificing quality – a custom home builder’s dream.

From FBD’s perspective, Russ Forrest Custom Homes represented the quality and attention to detail not generally found with “production builders”. Some of Russ' accomplishments are being past president of the local homebuilders association, an instructor in construction techniques and management at a local university, and active in community planning and growth management. FBD found this great match in Forrest Custom Homes over a year ago. For the last twelve months the new partnership; Forrest Atlantic, has been evolving into a highly effective and competitive builder.

Collectively, FBD and Forrest Custom Homes were able to invest in the best management and financial software/hardware, secure seasoned professional supervisors, and complete detailed research and development activities to identify the best future development sites. The new partnership of Forrest Atlantic, LLC has the technological and professional edge to provide quality homes throughout the state of Florida.
