“No matter what you do in life, just be your best.”

If you were to take a look through Forrest Odend’hal’s life, you’d see this philosophy at work behind everything he’s accomplished. If you were to take a look at him today, you’d see just how powerful this philosophy can be. Whether it’s in his family life, his hobbies, his community involvement or his career as a leading local businessman, Forrest’s commitment to being his absolute best is at the heart of everything he does.

Drive and determination

“Just give it your all and good things will happen,” Forrest says. “There’s no doubt in my mind that with the right attitude and a lot of hard work, challenges turn into opportunities and goals turn into accomplishments.”

Forrest credits much of his outlook to two influential figures in his life. The first was his father, a respected local physician and Black Angus cattle farmer. Forrest recalls many long days on the farm with his brothers, learning the value of hard work and staying focused on the task at hand. The second major influence in his life came from his college football coach, Larry Blackstone, who showed him how to get the most out of himself in any situation. As a football player, it meant long hours in the gym and extra time on the practice field. And though Forrest was not the biggest or strongest player on the field, he always gave it his all to help his team be its best and ultimately won a starting position his senior year.

a proven approach

Those who know Forrest will tell you his “only the best” outlook is more evident today than ever before, from quality time with his daughters, Danielle and Ashley, to his commitment to staying in shape (he has even completed a marathon). But nowhere is this driven approach more significant than in his long-running career as one of the area’s premier real estate professionals. Bringing together steadfast dedication, intense focus and extensive expertise, there’s no mistaking the fact that he holds himself to a higher standard and puts forth his best every day. Ask any of his clients and they’ll tell you that he’s simply “the best” at what he does.
