The Faces of Real Estate
EXIT Preferred Realty of Maryland
James Ferguson, President & Co-Owner and Craig Strobel, Broker/Owner
When James Ferguson, a U.S. Air Force veteran, pivoted from the defense contracting industry to real estate, he affiliated at EXIT Preferred Realty of Maryland because owner Craig Strobel’s commitment to operating with honesty and integrity matched his own values. In 2020, Ferguson became leader of the Dream Home Team of EXIT Preferred Realty, formerly the Vurganov Group, created by top-performing agent Greg Vurganov. Ferguson’s “work hard, play hard” philosophy, combined with his laidback attitude and loyalty to his clients, has built the Dream Home Team to 26 agents and over $50 million in annual sales volume. The team is powered by advanced technology that enables agents to take their sales to the next level of client service. “I have the mentality of ‘do good things for good people and the money will come’,” he says. Having built his team almost exclusively on referrals from happy customers and been routinely recognized with Top Producer honors, it’s a philosophy that works. Our goal is 87 agents and $250 million.
