Damian Forrester spent 8 years in the United States Marine Corps before stepping into real estate. That background, discipline, mission clarity, leading under pressure, taking care of the people around you, didn't leave when the uniform did. It became the foundation everything else was built on.

Entering Montana's real estate market, Damian did what few had done before him. He became the first Black realtor and broker in the state, not as a statement, but as a consequence of being excellent in a place where that path hadn't been walked yet.

Over the next two decades, Damian moved through Century 21, Keller Williams, and eventually eXp Realty, not chasing the next shiny thing, but constantly evaluating which model best served his clients and his agents. eXp won that evaluation decisively.

He didn't just join eXp, he founded eXp Realty Montana. He built it from the ground up into the state's largest eXp brokerage. Then he built Forrester Group on top of it, a team with structure, culture, and a mentorship layer that most Montana agents had never experienced.

Today, Damian runs multiple business entities simultaneously: Forrester Group Real Estate, Cloudsync (a virtual assistant company), Sacred Grounds Healing and Arts Center, and his role as co-chair and finance lead of the Black eXp Network (B.E.N.). He's also actively mentoring his daughter Brooklyn as she begins her own career in real estate.

The point isn't the resume. The point is that when an agent joins Forrester Group, they're working with someone who's still in the arena, building, coaching, selling, leading, and doing it at a level that gives the mentorship real weight.
