Ferguson Approach

Experiencia fantástica: Richard made our home buying experience the best we could’ve ever hoped for. It was seamless. He’s honest, knowledgeable, communicative and straight forward. He not only helped us find the perfect house for our elderly mom in AZ, but he did so while we were residing in another state. He was onsite for the inspections and the repairs when we couldn’t be. He has a professional network of quality individuals from all aspects of his industry that helped us tremendously as we progressed through the various stages of the real estate purchase. Thank you Richard!

Experiencia fantástica: Rick is a master marketer … our listing reached many more prospective buyer then expected and completed our deal in far less time then many others in our area. Simply Great service !!!

Experiencia fantástica: Selecting Rick (Ferguson Approach) was one of the best decisions we've made. Selling our Queen Creek home required a realtor who is familar with the local housing market, is capable of overseeing multi-faceted home staging, pre-market prep, and vehicle shipment processes, and who maintains proactive and ongoing communications with family members who live out of state. Rick nailed it. He met our every need and exceeded our expectations with perpetual professionalism and a clear understanding of how to involve and support an aging parent who is not always familiar with the online, virtual, and cutting edge marketing processes of which Rick is a master. Once we called and explained our circumstances, Rick was on it. At every step of the process, he sagely advised with empathetic, proactive, and clear communications. Rick planned for and attended to the unexpected hiccups along the way. He was an expert when needed and a collaborator throughout. If I ever need to sell a home again, anywhere, Rick will be my first call.

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough wonderful things about Rick. I had an amazing experience! His attention to detail and his wealth of Market knowledge proved to be a huge asset in selling my home. Always helpful, supportive and caring I would highly recommend Rick to my family and friends!! Thank You for all of your hard work!

Experiencia fantástica: Definitely not the typical real estate agent, I would say he is definitely not a used car salesman, Not pushy, looked out our best interest, what made it double hard that he was representing the seller as well and I felt it was a fair deal for both of us walked us through the buying process gave us advice on lenders/title agencies. If you would ask, would I use him again? I would say definitely.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick is the absolute best at what he does! We first met him at an open house we had gone to see, just to “look”. We had hoped to eventually buy a house within the next 5 years but after talking to Rick, decided to see how far we were off from qualifying. With his help, and referring us to the right people, we were able to make our dream of home ownership a reality in just 3 months! We could not be happier with our new home and are so excited to be home owners!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Rick was the selling relator for the new home we bought and the selling agent for our home that we sold. He sold it on the first day, actually prior to showing for full asking price. Rick coached us well on how to prepare our home for sale and his advice was excellent. We found Rick to be of high integrity representing the seller on our purchase, but open and fair with his advice to us as buyers.

Experiencia fantástica: Richard “Rick” Ferguson was a professional from the first conversation we had to the end of selling our home. He was an excellent communicator always keeping us updated and willing to listen to our input throughout the process. We highly encourage anyone selling or buying to contact Richard.

Experiencia fantástica: Being new to the country and overwhelmed by all the steps to buy a new home, I knew as soon as I met Rick that he would be a great fit as our agent. He is knowledgeable, funny, and caring. He listened to our hopes and dreams and patiently supported us as we searched for our perfect home. He has also became our friend in the process. I highly recommend Rick if you are looking to buy or sell. He really listens and gets the job done!

Experiencia fantástica: We had a wonderful experience working with Rick Ferguson as our real estate agent. Throughout our home search, Rick demonstrated exceptional patience, taking the time to help us explore our options and find the right home without ever making us feel rushed. His knowledge of the Arizona real estate market was invaluable, especially since we were relocating from Canada. Rick took the time to explain the many subtle differences between the Canadian and Arizona home-buying processes, helping us understand everything from local practices and regulations to the details involved in purchasing a home in a new country. His clear communication, professionalism, and willingness to answer every question gave us confidence at every step of the journey. Thanks to Rick's guidance, expertise, and dedication, what could have been a complicated transition became a smooth and enjoyable experience. We are grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in Arizona.

Experiencia fantástica: After interviewing different realtors I chose to go with Rick Ferguson because he offered more help than the others. I am a Canadian snowbird and if I could not be there he would manage the whole process of selling, getting rid of furniture and kitchen essentials and a final clean up. He paid to have someone stage the home so it looked wonderful,organized HVAC inspection and a roofer to inspect and repair tiles. He held several open houses and that’s what eventually sold my home. Rick is a great communicator as well, after each open house and showing he would send me a summary of the number of people through and what their opinions were of the home. A very trustworthy individual who genuinely cares about me as a person.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick was great from start to finish in our search for a new home. We went different directions at times but he kept reorienting on what we were looking for, which wasn't always the same between my wife and me. He's trustworthy, earnest and the only man I've ever met more knowledgeable on local water issues than I was. I hope to call on him again someday.

Experiencia fantástica: It is our absolute pleasure to recommend Rick Ferguson of Coldwell Bankers to anyone looking to sell their home. We recently worked with Rick to sell our property at 1771 E Elysian Pass Queen Creek., and the experience exceeded all of our expectations. From our very first meeting, it was clear that he had a deep understanding of the local market. Rick provided us with a comprehensive market analysis and a clear strategy for pricing and staging that positioned our home perfectly. What impressed us most was the speed of the results. Thanks to Rick proactive marketing approach and professional networking: Our home was listed and immediately saw a high volume of interest and it was sold very quickly. Steve & Linda

Experiencia fantástica: We have only great comments to say about Rick Ferguson. He stayed optimistic even in a down market. He held several open houses for our property and advised us on adjusting our selling price. We were able to sell our home and purchase a larger home with no difficulties. We highly recommend Rick.

Experiencia fantástica: We highly recommend Rick Ferguson, Associate Broker, for buying or selling a home. He handled the sale of our home with professionalism and integrity. Rick communicated consistently, followed through on every commitment, including hosting open houses, and delivered a marketing strategy that provided maximum exposure. The photos and video were exceptionally well executed. We would absolutely work with him again.

Experiencia fantástica: The Best Realtor We’ve Ever Worked With! Working with Rick (Richard) Ferguson at Coldwell Banker was, without question, the best real estate experience we’ve ever had. From the very first phone call, Rick set himself apart with professionalism, preparation, and a level of service that felt more like true partnership than “sales.” Before we even met in person, he sent a detailed introduction, asked thoughtful questions, and came prepared with research on every home we were interested in. When we flew into Arizona, he showed up early, fully prepared, and with neatly organized packets of data for each property—pricing, comps, risks, opportunities—everything I needed to make smart decisions in a soft market. He listened. He followed direction exactly. And then—this is what makes him rare—he anticipated the next steps and handled them before I even asked. What impressed us most is how well he navigated both my needs and my husband’s. He picked up immediately on what mattered to each of us—garage, pool, kitchen, layout—and made sure every property we toured was evaluated through both lenses. He’s also that perfect balance of “guardian and guide.” He’s not pushy, he’s not selling you anything, and he never oversteps. Instead, he points out risks, safety issues, hidden defects, or code concerns in a way that protects you without ever diminishing your enthusiasm. We trusted him instantly. We also vetted every vendor he recommended—roof, HVAC, plumbing, inspections—and, honestly, his recommendations outperformed the backups we scheduled ourselves. Every single one of his contacts was top-tier. I’ll admit— I judged the book by its cover at first. His Harley Davidson, retired military presence made me wonder if he was more “tough guy” than real estate pro. I could not have been more wrong. Rick is sharp, experienced, and extremely well-educated in the business. He’s meticulous with contracts, follows rules exactly as written, and makes sure you are protected at every step. This was, start to finish, an exceptional transaction because of him. We won’t work with another realtor in Arizona—ever. And we will recommend Rick to anyone who wants a realtor who works with you, for you, and ahead of you. Absolutely outstanding!

Experiencia fantástica: Rick was incredible to work with. Fully agree with my husband, Jay’s review — exceptional service from start to finish.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick was an exceptional partner in supporting our search for the perfect vacation property. We are extremely grateful for his patience, insights and follow through to ensure we found a home we would love and experience a purchase process that was seamless and highly transparent. Rick goes WELL beyond the typical engagement experience of most Real Estate agents and is someone I would highly recommend if you're looking for someone to provide a high degree of integrity and commitment to you as a home buyer

Experiencia fantástica: If you want a realtor who has your best interests at heart, will keep you informed and go to bat for you with the other parties, the Rick Ferguson is you man! He looked after us, walked us through the whole process and was in constant contact each step of the way. The best realtor I have dealt with by far.

Experiencia fantástica: When I listed with Rick, I did so after dropping another agent because 3 interested buyers fell through. A neighbor highly recommended Rick. When I met Rick, he explained to me that he had read buying or selling a house was one of the top 3 stressful events in a person’s life. Rick explained, “So I treat my customers with that in mind. I try to make the process as stress-free for them as possible.” Rick delivered on his promise. Although I am fighting cancer and moved to another state leaving my house empty, I never doubted that Rick was doing everything he could and he would sell my house in spite of a challenging house market.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick was very professional and knowledgeable. Had many resources to help with requested estimates. Thanks Rick.

Experiencia fantástica: Truly appreciate the dedication and professionalism of ‘The Ferguson Approach’! The focus on presenting the property in the best context, the strategic plan of where/when to post and advertise, and the unwavering customer commitment made this the most positive experience! Rick is not just the consummate real estate expert, but also makes you feel very well taken care of, always having your best interests at heart Thanks for all the efforts and successful sale!!

Experiencia fantástica: Rick did a great job in marketing and selling our house. Fabulous in keeping us up to date on what was happening. Lots of Open Houses (where he found our buyer) We were seasonal residents, when the house sold Rick met people at the house to fix a few items. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick was recommended by a friend. What a great experience. Helpful, knowledgeable, friendly with no pressure. Looking out for our best interests. We can’t say enough positives about our experience and will certainly recommend him in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick is a amazing guy. Always available, does what he says and is a no BS guy. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. Rick you made my dreams and my wife's dreams a reality, thank you

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone knows that home sales involve an economic scenario of supply and demand. When the supply is low, prices go up and the reverse is true when the supply is high. It is especially a factor when the market is more confined. That was the case when we enlisted the services of Rick Ferguson. The home sale market during 2024 suggested we would sell our home quickly at the end of the year. Of course, not much sells during the fall holidays season. We listed our home with Rick in December 2024. The prior six month market data suggested a price that Rick and we thought it would sell for. We didn't expect much during the holidays but even after the first of the year, it became obvious that selling our home was going to tougher than everyone thought. Rick constantly assessed sales activity and provided us with a weekly update on the market and sales activity. Rick increased his marketing efforts, held numerous open houses and followed up with potential buyers in an attempt to get our property sold. He was always positive and at the same time, diligent in his efforts to reach out to an expanding market to get details of our home in front of potential buyers. He always kept us updated on closings, sales prices, new listings and other relevant market data. He was sensitive to our needs and demonstrated compassion, perseverance, diligence, and an unwavering commitment to get the property sold. You would have thought we were his only listing but of course, that was not the case. We did eventually sell our house, but it was not achieved without Rick's consistent efforts and diligence. His understanding of the market demographics and external influences was a demonstration of professionalism. We are very grateful for his services and know we would not be sitting in our new home without his skills. We would highly recommend Rick.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick is an excellent real estate professional. Given the current marketplace complications, various contingencies in our deal and inspection issues, I am glad to have had him in my court. Worth every penny as he ran interference for us, stayed in close contact and got us to closing. Very satisfied with his work in our behalf.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick is great to work with, and he is very knowledgeable about the community in Encanterra. He gave us detailed comparisons of other homes and regular marketing updates. From beginning to end, he was there for every step of selling our home. We were happy with his service. G & T Austin

Experiencia fantástica: Great agent! Personable, experienced and always available. Knows his market and makes suggestions to make your listing stand out!

Experiencia fantástica: Rick is undoubtedly the hardest working realtor in the state. He truly cares about doing the very best job for his clients. He goes well out of his way to market your home & he tirelessly seeks clients to buy & searches as many homes as necessary to find that perfect match! As a bonus, he researches every home prior to an offer to make sure there are less things to worry about. He does his homework for you! No one does that! No one! He is customer service as in the “old days”. He is truly a gem.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick made the process of selling our existing home an purchasing a new one seamless. Our permanent residence is out of state and even long distance, we felt confident and assured that Rick had every detail under control.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick was absolutely amazing! He spent a ton of time with me helping me find the perfect house! This is a second home and he helped me navigate through all of the extra issues that come with not knowing the local area. He was professional and put me in contact with local individuals who can help with landscaping needs etc. Rick has integrity and is so knowledgeable! He went above and beyond! I would recommend Rick for your AZ home search! I would give him more than 5 stars if I could!!

Experiencia fantástica: Rick did a great job selling our home. He is friendly, responsive, dependable and knowledgeable! I felt like I was in very good hands with Rick. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a true professional!

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I were very impressed with Rick Ferguson what impresses is he went the oven beyond to make sure everything was set as scheduled and if any questions needed to be answered, he was there to answer them. I would definitely and I mean definitely recommend him for any home buying. Thanks for your help Rick, you are impressive

Experiencia fantástica: Rick was exceptional. We purchased our new home in Encanterra with the help of Rick Ferguson. He made the buying process stress-free as we navigated purchasing a new home from Nebraska. Rick is organized, an excellent communicator and trustworthy. He went above and beyond throughout this process. His services did not stop at closing as he continued to check in on us and even helped us locate furnishing for our new home. Thanks to Rick we are enjoying Arizona living!

Experiencia fantástica: We enjoyed working with Rick to find our retirement home! He listened to us and we could not be happier. The blooming foliage brings hummingbirds, the oranges are just beginning to turn, both the indoor and outdoor space is large enough for family gatherings. We got just what we wanted for a price we could afford. We highly recommend allowing him to help you find your new home

Experiencia fantástica: We worked with Rick Ferguson and he is an excellent agent! He listed our home in December and we were on contract in a month, at asking price. He is thorough and professional with a very personalized touch. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Rick is a personable, professional! He was readily available through all aspects of our home search/purchase. One of the nicest realtors we have ever worked with; we highly recommend him!

Experiencia fantástica: Rick was helpful from the very beginning with helping us figure out a game plan to sell our home. He beat our expectations for how wonderfully and beautifully he marketed our home. He was readily available to answer all questions/concerns with amazing knowledge in his field and had genuine empathetic understanding of every situation we faced. He was excellent and helpful throughout the entire process. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone! We will definitely be contacting him for all our purchase and sale home needs. Thank you Rick!!

Experiencia positiva: We decided to have Rick and Lori sell our house because we met with Rick (who was our agent when we bought the house) and he said that they would clean the house, the carpets, stage, hold an open house and do print marketing. We felt confident that going with them (vs the other two agents we had interviewed) was the right move. Carpets and house were cleaned and looked great in the photos, but then nothing happened. Partly because the carpet had to dry and partly because we got an offer, much lower than our asking price. We countered and then had to make other concessions. I wish I could say that I am happy with how this happened, but am not. Anyone could have sold our house.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick Ferguson is a great agent! Professional, thorough, attention to detail, knowledgeable and he has a great personality to boot! I can't say enough about the great experiences we have had with Rick. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Rick is a pleasure to work with and we have entrusted his services for several homes, both selling and buying. So refreshing to work with someone who is honest, trustworthy and has high integrity. No drama, just a straight forward hard working guy who provides excellent communication. He will work hard for you and knows how to market your home. He is the best!

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic experience. Very professional and knowledgeable. We would not hesitate in engaging his services again!

Experiencia fantástica: Mr. Ferguson is an amazingly patient man. He has worked primarily with my spouse, though I have had the pleasure of working and meeting with him on several occasions for the last 2 years. As Rick has mentioned several times over the last 2 years, you know what you want and he will help guide and steer you into the home you never settle for, but a home you appreciate and desire. Your home is out there, somewhere, and Rick Ferguson gets you there, with his iconic Ferguson approach. Next time I move, which I do not like doing, I know where I'm going, and so does Mr. Ferguson.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick has been the best. Hes been working with us since 2020 to find our perfect home. He's patient, funny, and very informative! We closed on our home today, and it's going to be weird no longer communicating weekly! We will definitely be using him when the time comes to sell and look again!

Experiencia fantástica: Rick Ferguson went above and beyond during our home selling process. Great communication, competitive marketing and helped us get a fair offer in a crazy real estate market. Highly recommend Rick and his team!!

Experiencia fantástica: Rick is very knowledgeable, thorough, professional and a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive at all points during the process of selling my home and answered all my questions. Together with his wife Maja, their attention to detail with staging made the sale of my house irresistible. The photographer/videographer he utilizes produced an extraordinary product for marketing my home. Additionally, it was clear he has a very good network with other real estate professionals in the Greater Phoenix area. I highly recommend working with Rick and his team.

Experiencia fantástica: We just Closed on our house we listed with Ferguson approach. From the first day we met with Rick until the closing the process was effortless on our part. The marketing of our property was beautifully done, the staging by Maja, video presentation and brochures were great. Rick always kept us up to date daily as to what was happening, very professional with such a personal touch. We would highly recommend Ferguson Approach for for all your real estate needs.

Experiencia fantástica: We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience working with the Ferguson Approach team! Lori & Rick handled both the sale of our property in Gilbert and the purchase of our new home in Queen Creek. From the sale perspective, their marketing was nothing less than top notch! A professional video and beautiful photographs of our home including both daytime and evening photos as well as drone footage was instrumental in getting us WELL over our asking price. We’ve sold multiple homes in the past and can say without a doubt that the Ferguson Approach team’s services and marketing were by far the best we’ve ever experienced. From a purchase perspective, they were patient showing us many properties before we found our new home. They had excellent knowledge of the market and made the offer & buying process a breeze. We relied on them as trusted advisors and they did not disappoint! You can’t go wrong in selecting the Ferguson Approach team as your realtors!

Experiencia fantástica: Rick and his "Ferguson approach" helped my wife and I find our home in the Encanterra community. From initial search to close of escrow, Rick stayed on top of the process and helped coordinate getting everything done on time. He referred us to a great lending source and escrow company, and was very responsive to all of our questions and needs through the whole process. He found us our "dream home". I heartily endorse the Ferguson approach, and would not hesitiate to refer Rick's services to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Please know that Rick and Lori are some of the best realtors we ever had. We have bought & sold over 15 homes over the years! Their responsiveness is immediate to small & large requests. They’ve helped us with referrals, & highlighted the advantages we would’ve overlooked! They’re upbeat & were there for us throughout the process! In our situation they represented us, the sellers, as well as the buyers. Our experience is.... that CAN be a bad situation. No complaints here! We were lucky to have Rick and Lori throughout the process. Cindy & Peter Sundquist

Experiencia fantástica: Rick and his Team are by far the best realator we have ever worked with. We lived in California and used Rick in our search for our house in Queen Creek, Az. Since were were out of state, Rick personally handle the inspection, the final walk through ( via Face Time) and even the utility transfers. He went well beyond the typical realator duties. Our closing was not simple and Rick guided us every step of the way and resolved every issue. Rick is not only our realtor but has become a personal friend. He and his team deserve a 10 star rating.

Experiencia fantástica: Lori and Rick are very professional. They marketed our home beautifully. We are very satisfied with their professional attitudes and responses to our questions. Would highly recommend them

Experiencia fantástica: We are so thankful Rick Ferguson and Lori Bond were our realtors. Being Canadians selling our US home and moving back to Canada, we were overwhelmed by all the steps needed to sell a home. Lori and Rick made the process smooth, efficient and less worrisome. We completely trusted them and always felt they were in our corner. They were very responsive to any of our needs, questions or concerns. We were amazed at their involvement with all aspects of the process. During the macro cleaning they were the ones that did the work, whether it was reorganizing closets, pantries or cleaning the barbecue. The staging, micro cleaning and photography, organized and supervised by them, resulted in a spectacular and inviting home. The realtors preview and the open house was a smashing success with all sorts of interest. One aspect we found intriguing was that Rick and Lori had done their due diligence and vetted all prospective buyers to insure that they were capable of buying our house. Two days after the listing we had 3 offers and Rick and Lori analyzed and helped us select the best offer. After closure they walked us through escrow, title and taxation. They helped us enormously when we moved the closure date up a week. Their help and direction in selling our furnishings was great and they constantly ensured us that they would take care of any furniture and cleaning required after our departure. In summary we were so fortunate to have Lori and Rick as our realtors as they are “Simply The Best”. We would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling their home. Ken and Phyllis I

Experiencia fantástica: We have moved to Ohio but still kept a home in Encanterra for the winter, but with Covid we don’t see much chance of going back there. It just just sits empty, because nobody is willing to help us sell the house without having us coming back to sort out the contents and maintenance. Rick took care of absolutely everything that we should have been doing ourselves, and he got us 3 offers in less than two weeks. I have bought and sold over 20 houses in my life. Rick is by far the best agent I have ever worked with. Just took care of everything. Without Rick we would still be sitting on this house.

Experiencia fantástica: You could not ask for a better team in Rick and Lori. They were recommended by another realtor who is a friend and is no longer taking listings. I sure am glad that I took his advice. From our first meeting you could tell that they were sincere and truly wanted to help achieve my goals. Through out the process they were on top of things offering advice, insight and staging. Communication was constant and inquires were responded to quickly. After a contract was in place they didn't stop there but continued to offer assistance with selling furniture and anything else that need to be done. Excellent communication from start to finish. Customer service is in their DNA

Experiencia fantástica: "WOW" Rick was a great person to work with. He took all the worries out of our hands and drove the wagon to the sale. I would highly recommend Rick and his team to anybody looking to buy or sell their home.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick's expert real estate guidance and knowledge in managing my home buying experience made the whole process very smooth. Rick is very responsive, proactive, and professional. Overall I was completely satisfied with the whole experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick is a professional and a very attentive realtor. He listened to what we were saying, and we felt as though he actually heard us. He responded promptly to our requests and concerns. We had some back and forth with the sellers regarding repairs, and I always felt he was representing our interests as though they were his own. We don't intend to sell, but if we change our minds, we will certainly call on Rick again!

Experiencia fantástica: We first met Rick when we were looking into some property. Within a couple days, we had viewed drone footage and a site plan. Since then we had changed what were looking for and changed the area we were looking. Rick never batted an eye and helped us find exactly what were looking for. He has never not answered a call, text or email almost immediately. He has been very involved in every step of the way. We will HAPPILY pass on his info for any friend looking to buy or sell.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick was there for us when we needed him. He guided us through the whole house buying experience always keeping our best interests in the forefront. He was available any time I had a question.
