It’s not bricks and mortar. Property is a people business. It requires the acuity to understand – and in many instances pre-empting - market forces and fluctuations. It also requires the empathy to acknowledge and appreciate uniquely personal aims and aspirations.
In essence all this underscores the value an outstanding property specialist.
Known for being ethical, fair and determined, Justin counts the loyalty of his clients as one of his greatest career achievements. He is proud of his outstanding 80% referral rate and has serviced several generations of the same families throughout his career.
So, let the words of a few of Justin’s many highly satisfied customers speak for themselves.
"Hard Worker"
Justin had a good knowledge of the market and was very pragmatic in this difficult market from a vendor's perspective; Justin was full of helpful hints along the way of this sale and he worked tirelessly to get the contract exchanged one late evening.
"Fantastic Agent!"
Justin Ferguson is an experienced and seasoned professional with an in-depth knowledge of Cammeray and the surrounding neighbourhoods. This is the second time I have sold a property with Justin. I trust him implicitly in his negotiations, marketing and dealing with potential customers. He is courteous, sticks to his deadlines and most importantly, has the experience to know what he is doing to achieve a great result.
"Very Happy"
It is with the utmost pleasure that we take this opportunity to thank Justin Ferguson and his team for the manner in which they conducted two recent transactions on our behalf. Having known Justin and his group for many years and having watched the approach that his agency takes in their dealings with clients we engaged him on these most recent occasions with complete trust and with a high degree of expectation. Justin provides a very personal service which he undertakes with pride and with high regard to his client's particular circumstances, anxieties and instructions. Within that context he has a capacity to manage sales and acquisitions in a realistic, honest and enthusiastic fashion which inspires confidence. His experience is such that he has a long standing intimate knowledge of both Cammeray and the surrounding suburbs and he has a well respected and acknowledged reputation for dealing with each of his clients in those suburbs very much in accordance with their individual needs. He is skilled in managing expectations and in bringing a focused and personal approach to each circumstance. Justin is adept at managing what he realizes can be a difficult and stressful process and is able to guide and advise in a way that brings a high level of confidence that the approach he has chosen has been carefully measured and considered as being the most appropriate way forward. Justin's group are a most trustworthy organization and their advice is always prompt, realistic and straightforward. Their capacity to market and sell very competitively is outstanding and well recognized.
We would highly recommend his services and would not approach any real estate dealings in the area without first approaching his agency for strategic advice.
"Extremely happy"
In looking for an agent to assist with the sale of my home in Cammeray, I was referred to Justin Ferguson by one of my neighbours. The neighbour spoke highly of Justin and the Ferguson Property team, and after organising an initial meeting with Justin, I felt confident I was dealing with a true property professional. His long standing presence in, and knowledge of, the Cammeray market gave me the confidence that he would deliver the result I was looking to achieve. His frank and professional advice in presenting the property, which included the styling and the project management of the entire pre-sale process, undoubtedly added value to my property. Ultimately, when it came time to finalise the sale of my home, Justin's ability to read the market, assess buyers and negotiate the sale structure was a key factor in achieving a terrific result.
I can highly recommend Justin Ferguson and the Ferguson Property agent’s team to any prospective vendor.
"Highly Experienced and Credible Agent Who Gets Results"
Justin secured a great result for us in Cammeray - from first meeting him it was clear he was a highly experienced and credible agent who gets results. We were very happy with the final outcome.
"Justin made everything seem easy"
Justin made everything seem easy to deal with, basically gave him the keys to our home and he did the rest. We told him what we'd like to sell our house for and he got the sell through, before auction, which is what we wanted. Justin was very transparent in what he was doing, giving us feedback on the visits and what he was telling the clients. I would definitely use Justin again and recommend him to anyone selling in Cammeray.
"After a short three week campaign the property sold for $2 million"
We had no hesitation in asking Justin to sell our late mother's house in Cammeray. He had been her choice of agents for many years and they had formed a friendly relationship, with Justin visiting or telephoning her every now and then. We also went to him because he knows Cammeray having sold a number of houses in Cairo Street recently, including the adjoining semi to Mum's.
From the outset Justin was very attentive and respectful of Mum and what she wanted. I remember him saying that she was lovely lady and that he was determined to get the best price for her. His advice about marketing and going to auction was spot on. He advised a quick sale by auction to take advantage of the current market and a sale prior to Melbourne Cup day. As well he recommended some cosmetic improvements including new carpets and painting. We were a little sceptical about one suggestion, using a stylist to furnish the house but he convinced us that this would be a good move and result in a higher sale price. And he was right.
After a short three week campaign the property sold for $2 million, way above our expectations. Justin's professional insight, good humour and sound advice had paid off and Mum got what she wanted - the best possible price for her home. All this was backed up with a very impressive advertising campaign and regular reports about vendor interest. Thank you Justin and team - you made Mum very proud.
"Totally professional and yet friendly, well-mannered and helpful at the same time"
We have known Justin Ferguson since he started his Real Estate business in Cammeray in 1998. Justin sold 2 investment properties for us in 2005 and he manages other investment properties for us.
He has also sold & managed many properties for our friends & neighbours. We have found him to be honest and professional in all his dealings. He is able to be totally professional and yet friendly, well-mannered and helpful at the same time. He has staff of a similar calibre with fine ethics. We shall continue using Justin’s services now and in the future and can only recommend him most highly.
We are happy to verify this reference in person.
Having known Justin professionally in his previous life as a commercial estate agent, I had no hesitation in going to him to handle the sale of my late father's property in Cammeray. He handled the matter in a very professional manner providing important feedback from "Open for Inspections" and prospective purchasers' feedback. On the day, 22 Pine Street sold just beyond the upper end of Justin's advice leaving me without hesitation in recommending Justin and his team to other vendors.
"Certainly the best service we have received"
Justin, Steve and I both wanted to thank you very much for the amazing service we received through the purchase of our new property at 16/45 McLaren St, North Sydney.
I know I said when we purchased that this is certainly not the first property we have bought and we have sold a number too, but it is certainly the best service we have received. It’s the little things that make the difference; feeling we were being looked after as the purchaser was a huge part of this process. I understand that representing the vendor and potential purchasers can be complex, however, I did not feel that we were being compromised.
I also was very impressed with the purchase and settlement gifts. As you are probably aware, we are moving forward with your services for letting the property. We look forward to doing further business with you in the future. Thank you again for making the experience as easy as it could be.
"Heartfelt thanks on the outstanding result you achieved for us"
We wanted to offer you our heartfelt thanks on the outstanding result you achieved for us on the sale of our home.
A lot of blood sweat and tears has gone into our house, it was the start of a life together for Josh and I and the place we started our family so very sentimental.
Whilst the total process was short, you handled it with the perfect combination of determination, integrity, understanding and drive to achieve the result you did and we just thrilled. We wish every success and hope our paths may again cross.
"Justin has acted with supreme honesty, integrity and professionalism during all of our dealings"
I have known Justin for a number of years and have always considered him the expert when it comes to real estate in this locale. During this time I have used his business not only to let a property of mine but also to sell it. I can honestly state that Justin has acted with supreme honesty, integrity and professionalism during all of our dealings. The ultimate test is to ask if I would recommend or use Justin's services in the future, the answer is a resounding yes and I would be happy to discuss this in person if a potential vendor so desired.
