About Broker Heath
With over 30 years of experience as a Licensed California Real Estate Broker, Forrest E. Heath has built a reputation for integrity, innovation, and results. His career began with a commitment to saving sellers money, including the launch of DBC Real Estate—one of the region's first brokerages to offer a competitive 4% commission structure. Forrest was also a pioneer in using technology, such as QR codes and electronic flyers in real estate marketing, long before they became industry standard.
Beyond brokerage, Forrest E. Heath played a key role in defeating 1992's controversial Measure F in Stanislaus County—a measure designed to limit development while reducing property rights. He led a television campaign that protected property rights and allowed for responsible growth. His creative messaging helped reverse poll numbers from 65% in favor to a decisive 66% against. Thanks in part to these efforts, Modesto is now home to vital healthcare developments like the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center and memory care facilities.
Today, Broker Heath offers personalized guidance to buyers and sellers across California, including support for relocation, downsizing, and 1031 Tax-Deferred Exchanges. Forrest remains committed to professionalism, transparency, and putting client goals first—one transaction at a time.
