Forest Ivey

Professional Inspector #23646

Born and raised in Fort Worth, TX, Forest first entered the real estate world as an investor.  After having hired multiple inspection companies, he recognized the strengths that each inspection company offered.  In 2019, he took each of those strengths and put them into his own inspection company; thus The Smart Inspector PLLC was born!

Forest and his wife, Kathleen, now reside in North Arlington with their twin children.  Forest has a background in woodworking, welding, electrical work, and building cars.  He also has lived in multiple countries and speaks multiple languages.  As such, he graduated from UTA with a Master’s Degree in Linguistics.  His hobbies include wrenching on cars, cooking, and playing musical instruments.
