Wednesday, June 13, 2001 Forrest Homes makes top 400 Atlanta area-based Forrest Homes Inc., which has corporate offices in Alpharetta and Jonesboro, has just attained inclusion in the top 400 home builders in the United States. The ranking, which had Forrest Homes listed as the country's 390th largest home builder, appeared in the April 2001 edition of Professional Builder Magazine. The ranking was based on total gross revenue. The company had a record-breaking year in 2000, more that doubling its record of home sales during the previous year. The company closed 175 homes in 2000, easily eclipsing its first year total of 85 in 1999. Forrest Homes, which is currently building homes and developing communities in Clayton, South Fulton, Cobb, Spalding, Bartow and DeKalb counties, has grown to 12 communities at various stages of development at this point in 2001 with substantial additional growth projected. The company projects 300 closings this year. Michael Adamson, President and founder of the Forrest Homes organization, has formed Forrest Realty as the in-house marketing arm of the company in order to maximize efficiency and production. Founded in September of 1998, Forrest Homes emphasizes the building of high quality, affordable homes in a neighborhood setting, using only the best materials and suppliers available. The company has already won top awards in both 1999 and 2000 in the Professionalism Awards competition sponsored by the Greater Atlanta Home Builders and the Sales & Marketing Council, and the marketing representative of one of its communities was named Sales Associate "Rookie of the Year" by the Greater Atlanta organization. Forrest Homes has already earned qualification as a Certified Professional Home Builder. Perhaps best known for its aggressive finance programs allowing homeowners to move in for only $999, Forrest Homes is poised to become a very significant player in the metro Atlanta home building industry.
