CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Jenny Kaufman

Where do I start? Ian is the gold standard for realtors. He’s professional, knowledgeable, extremely accommodating & on top of it. Selling a home can be stressful & he made selling my first home such a breeze. I will admit I was not easy to work with, but regardless he took every phone call, responded to every text and even let me bother him while he was on the other side of the world. If I wasn’t moving to a different state I would use Ian for every home purchase & sale. Hopefully we get to work together again one day, but till then do yourself a favor & utilize his services! Thanks again!!!!

Ian was great at helping me and my boyfriend get our first place Hermosa Beach in every process. Very knowledgeable about the area and the property.

Wendy Carpenter

Ian made our buying experience super easy and helped us get the house we wanted! Would highly recommend him.

Frank Hughes

Ian was amazing. Knew the market, stepped us through things, managed the other side, found us a great mortgage broker in Peter Cannon and made the closing easy. Couldn’t say enough kind things about his professionalism. Bravo!

Dimitri Chami

I can not thanks Ian enough He was amazing to work with , very professional , and knowledgeable. He sold 3 houses for me and rent 2 houses I totally recommend him

Ryan Karmouta

Ian was awesome - super friendly to work with, made the whole process a breeze.

Kristin Y

Grateful to have met Ian at one of his listings last year. His integrity, calm nature, and savvy approach to solving complex real estate transactions is very impressive. He was able to close on a house which was the most difficult transaction I’ve ever dealt with in my 30+ years of doing real estate business. His tenacity in making the deal work with creative business solutions is unparalleled. He has no quit. Dealing with, and managing many different personalities and perspectives in real estate is an art, and Ian is a master.

Sam Johnson

My wife and I are incredibly fortunate to have stumbled upon Ian as he was the perfect realtor for us. Since we originally connected with Ian through Zillow, we were a little hesitant at first because we didn’t know him and buying a house is obviously a major life decision. Although many of our friends and family members had realtors that they urged us to use, we quickly became comfortable with Ian as it was obvious that he is very professional, experienced, and trustworthy. From Day 1, we felt zero pressure from Ian to buy a home. He was incredibly flexible and responsive as we toured home after home. Ultimately, he just wanted us to make the right decision for us while providing his guidance and expertise. When we found the perfect home for us, this is when Ian really shined. He is a very tactful and skilled negotiator so was able to negotiate an offer that was ultimately accepted and didn’t max out our budget. And our house had multiple offers, so was quite competitive. And later, he was able to negotiate some additional concessions during closing. It truly felt like he was on our team. He wasn’t by any means just trying to close the deal, but rather, sought the best possible deal for us. I don’t think we would have gotten our home without Ian. Our family has been so impressed by him throughout this process that he is now the family’s go to realtor. If you are thinking of buying a home anywhere near Los Angeles, I highly recommend you work Ian.

Felipe Tavera

Ian helped us navigate our first home purchase and our move to LA from SF. He was nothing short of amazing in coordinating everything, including some renovation work in our home before we moved in, and answering all of our questions. He was patient, kind, and very honest (we never felt that he was pushing us towards a purchase, and actually pressed us to think hard before making our offer). Closing was a breeze. We are very grateful for everything he did and will contact him again as soon as we are ready to move.

I rent a house in Los Angeles that Ian manages and he has always been consistently helpful and responsive. He makes himself available to us whenever necessary and works very quickly to address any property issues or questions that we have.

Jack Kellard

Working with Ian was an absolute pleasure. From the very beginning he demonstrated a deep knowledge of the market, guiding us with expert insights throughout the whole process.

Couldn’t have asked for a better realtor!!! Ian held our hands through the entire process of buying our first home. He was patient and helped us find the perfect spot

Nancy Baca

Ian has been such a sincere and hard working realtor who listened to my needs and never gave up showing me properties and eventually found me a perfect home for my renovation business. Through the escrow process he made sure all parties followed through and never hesitated to open the home so I could get bids. With his positive attitude I highly recommend him as a realtor.

Ian was great from scheduling a showing through close of escrow. He was punctual, responsive, negotiated with the seller’s agent which allowed me to make a strong first bid and get it accepted, and followed up on details to close escrow in two weeks.

mary saltos

We are immensely grateful to have found Ian to help us sell our home. We had previously listed our house with another realtor and it sat for 2 years with multiple price drops. We trusted his plan and after the first open house we had 11 offers and got it sold for well over asking. Fate put him in our house and trusting him to sell our home was the best choice we made. He is an incredibly loyal and sincere human being and the best real estate agent we’ve ever met. We are eternally grateful for his help.

O A

Ian helped my In-laws sell their old home, and subsequently buy their new one a couple of years ago and was always spoken so highly of. I had the advantage of considering Ian a friend long before my fiancée and I seriously started looking for a home, but as many people can relate to, sometimes doing business with friends isn’t the best policy and it did have me a bit nervous… I can genuinely say with hand on heart that Ian shocked us both with just how professional, diligent and patient he was to work with, as well as how calmly and confidently he took us through the home buying process. He really took time to understand what was important and never we never once felt ‘sold to’ or pressured. He also goes above and beyond in little ways that are so helpful and really took away heaps of stress from us. For people that appreciate responsiveness, communication and punctuality, this man is the epitome of it to be honest. Even 6 weeks after closing, he is still helping us with things about the home that technically are no longer his concern, but he’s just shown himself to be a constant stellar professional. Our entire family would wholeheartedly recommend Ian and Greenspan Realty’s services to any buyers or sellers out there seeking an A+ real estate experience.

Omid Kahangi

Ian handled my listing like a pro. Every detail was well executed and he has an A+ user interface. I will be calling Ian for all of my real estate needs in the foreseeable future.

runner elc7

Working with Ian to secure a condo could not have been a better experience. He made it an easy and smooth process from start to finish. He was quick to respond to everything.

derek gaines

I work in sales, so it takes a lot to impress me. The level of service Ian Ferguson and his team provide truly deserves mention. Ian has assisted me and my family with our real estate needs for years, and we have become close friends. He's helped me with my last two relocations for work, being incredibly proactive and communicative—qualities that, given my work schedule, are worth their weight in gold. Additionally, he aided my family in not only finding their dream home but also securing it well below the asking price. From the exceptional lender he connected us with at the beginning of the process to the contractors he recommended for repairs and upgrades after we closed, Ian has not only been helpful but has also saved us a lot of money. The best thing about Ian and his team is that you have a trusted resource and referral network to rely on indefinitely moving forward.

I had the pleasure of working with Ian Ferguson from Greenspan Realty when I bought my first home, and I couldn't be happier. His patience and knowledge made what I thought would be an overwhelming process, actually very stress free. He guided me through finding the right lender and loan program for my situation. His negotiation skills were exceptional, not only did he help me beat out multiple other buyers but he also helped obtain seller credits which saved me money and made the process smoother. Ian is professional, responsive, dedicated to his clients' success but most of all is a really great person who genuinely cares. Highly recommend him for your real estate needs!

Sheyenne Ndubaku

We were incredibly fortunate to have Ian as our real estate agent during our recent home-buying journey. From the moment we met him, it was clear that we were in the hands of a true professional who genuinely cared about finding us the perfect home. As first-time homebuyers, we had many questions and uncertainties, but Ian patiently guided us through every step. He was always available to answer our questions, address our concerns, and provide valuable insights into the real estate market. His communication skills were exceptional, and we always felt well-informed and confident in our decisions. We couldn't be happier we found our dream home and if you're looking for a real estate agent who goes above and beyond, Ian is the one to choose. Thank you, Ian, for helping us find our new home! 🏡 ❤️

SheyenneWilliams

Ian made buying our first home an exceptional experience. His expertise and guidance were invaluable in finding the perfect place for us. We couldn't have asked for a better agent. Thanks to Ian, we're now proud homeowners!

simon gidney

Selling your house and buying a new house can be an extremely stressful experience and you need a realtor who can calmly walk you through the problems, challenges, catastrophe's, disappointments and general highs and lows etc etc that can blow up at any moment during a transaction; someone who can remain calm in the eye of the storm of anxiety, stress, swings of emotion and total loss of objectivity that can grip you at any given moment as a Buyer or a Seller. In our case, Ian handled both the sale of our house in Redondo Beach and the purchase of our house in La Quinta and he did a marvelous job for us on both transactions. In short, Ian Ferguson is the James Bond of Realtors - calm, cool and collected, and a steadying hand through whatever is thrown at you - never shaken and only occasionally stirred. Plus his network of connections and his determination to see the transactions through give you the best possible chance of realizing your objectives.

When my wife and I moved from Jersey to Los Angeles to be closer to our son and grandchild, we had a disappointing experience with our first agent. Fortunately, our mortgage broker recommended Ian, who made a world of difference. Ian's knowledge, helpfulness, and attention to detail were exceptional. We found an amazing home in West Hollywood, and living in our Penthouse in the Hollywood Hills has been a dream. Now that we're moving again to be near our son in La Jolla, we have complete trust in Ian to sell our Penthouse. He's been communicative, accommodating, and professional throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Ian as a top-notch real estate agent in Los Angeles – he's the go-to guy for anything about the city!

Candace J Yun

We were lucky to connect with Ian at Greenspan Reality. We were looking for a property near West Hollywood. He knew the area well and worked with us on finding the place for us. He was always punctual, appointments were made for us to tour the properties and asked the right questions to the seller’s agents on our behalf. He went out of his way to meet us late Sunday afternoon on Mother’s Day. As a result, we were able to find our place and close within 30 days of meeting him. We are definitely reaching out to him again for our future property deals.

zuser20140329212520490

Ian did an outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our condo. His expertise in the market’s geographic area was instrumental in determining a competitive purchasing price while considering the future resale value for the area. Ian was friendly, responsive, and always gave great advice

Cynthia Fedors

We highly recommend Ian Ferguson of Greenspan Realty to everyone. Ian worked with us largely long distance on three offers. We lost out on the first, walked away from the second during inspection, and bought the third. The house we bought involved three offers due to seller delay, a counter offer, and then the tenant changing his mind about moving out on the scheduled date in spite of a buy-out. Through it all, Ian was kind and understanding and even tempered but didn’t miss a beat. He was quick to investigate, strategize with us, and involve the necessary parties to facilitate the sale. We were very impressed and we feel to this day we got a deal. Again, we recommend Ian without reservation.

Ellen F

Ian helped us buy our first house in Los Angeles, and we had the best experience one could hope for along the entire journey thanks to him. We worked together to find a home with Ian for over a year! And every time we went to showings or he met to advise us, he was such a pleasure and always informative. I cannot say enough good about how grateful we are to Ian for his speed, expertise, and patience. He worked with every member of our family, which could have been complicated, but all our communications went smoothly, and he worked with us to make our offer and presented it so that it was accepted by the seller! The purchase was complicated, but he really stayed on top of things and followed up with the seller's agent and got us to the end and helped us negotiate the best price. If you get to work with Ian you will lucky to have someone so kind and patient and hard working on your side. Thank you so much Ian! :)).

It was a dream to work with Ian. We felt so lucky to work with such a patient and proactive hard working agent. Ian worked with us for over a year to find our house. He was incredibly responsive and thoughtful in his advice and excellent when presenting our offer to the seller and in dealing with the seller's agent. He is passionate about his work and a wonderful person to work with from meeting us at properties to helping us get qualified to seeing us through all the paperwork and to closing! We are grateful for his guidance in helping us to secure our new home!

Ian helped us purchase a single family house in Redondo Beach. We felt very lucky to have him as our agent. He was very diligent and resourceful. He arranged efficient routes for multiple showings with short notice. He was familiar with the neighborhood, and knowledgeable about construction and finance. During showings he pointed out short comings as well as future potential of properties. During negotiation process, he put our interest first by suggesting a perfect offer price - well below asking and still accepted. And he helped us gain further savings during escrow. He was always on time and responsive. He has reliable contacts for every aspect of the process, from financial, inspection to construction. We strongly recommend him if you are looking for an agent.

Eric Zambrano

Ian did an outstanding job! He was very accessible, and seemed really committed to us. He is very knowledgeable about the market, and minor details of homes and communities that are overlooked by the average person. After looking for over a year, we teamed with Ian and found a home within 3 months. He was great at getting negotiations done, and seems to have a great team working alongside him. He was able to answer any questions that my wife and I had. We’ve now closed and don’t have buyers remorse. Even after the sale, he is still helping us with any questions we might have post sale. He’s definitely a great realtor to team with, especially as a new buyer.

We are very fortunate for having Ian as our realtor. A very professional, knowledgeable and experienced realtor. He was very patient with us to our likes and dislikes and very prompt at answering our questions. If you wanted to make sure you get the house you like and make the most you can get, I highly recommend Ian. Thank you for all your help. It was a pleasure working with you.

Khatchig Arabian

Ian was professional and helpful throughout the entire process. My wife and I are first time homebuyers and we could not have landed a better agent. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and in a timely manner, and went above and beyond to make sure everything we needed got done! Will look forward to working with him again in the future!

Hobart Leung

Ian Ferguson is your Go-To Guy. He's also the guy who always knows a guy. We sought his help as a realtor, but he ended up straightening up our lives. He somehow turned a nightmare situation into a joy, and set us first-time home buyers on the right trek, with all the right people. Many reviews out there say words like Honest, Dependable, Personable... and I wish I were a poet so I can use language that would more accurately describe how he has impacted us, but Ian is definitely all those things and much more! We were in a desperate situation, with a looming deadline to move out of the place we were renting, due to unforeseen circumstances. We had been with another agent on a crazy rollercoaster ride for almost half a year... getting constantly out-bidded on places that were right for us... falling in and out of escrow a couple of times due to surprises that the agent didn't prepare us for. We were so shaken up, that we were just going to return to renting, with our tails between our legs. But on the insistence if friends and family, we decided to give Ian a shot before quitting home ownership all together. Just like we were told, Ian did indeed somehow get us a house that was right for us, under asking, and with terms that were suitable for both us and the seller. We are now humbly proud first time home owners; and we toil away, unpacking numerous dusty boxes, with a smile on our face, knowing that we toil away in a home that is our very own.

Michael Cameron

Ian was fantastic throughout the entire home buying process from start to finish. He sourced quality properties (both on and off market), successfully helped me navigate a shortened escrow period, and his relationships in the industry were vital in securing the initial acceptance offer in a multiple bid situation. Further, his constant and proactive communication with both the seller’s agent and mortgage broker made the entire process extremely easy and stress free given a tightened time to close. Ian’s service did not end with the close of escrow and he has been available to help guarantee a seamless move process. Ian is a full service professional and I could not recommend him more highly!

Elizabeth Lobsenz

I can't recommend Ian Ferguson more highly. He was absolutely instrumental in helping me purchase my dream first home, and worked with me patiently and expertly every step of the way to secure a good price, and with my lender to navigate a tricky loan process. He was friendly, smart, knowledgeable, hardworking, prompt, readily available even on weekends and on his vacation time, and just an all-around pleasure to work with. Even when I had my heart set on the first property I visited, he patiently brought me to multiple other viewings in the area to be sure I was happy with my choice. He offered numerous tips on local attractions, and even brought me a housewarming gift! Ian is an absolute gem, and you will be in good hands with him.

Alan Gaines

Ian was proactive and completely available and dedicated throughout the entire process. He was always willing an able to answer questions, and follow up with the counterpart broker, which helped make the transaction seamless and stress free. He was able to help strategize and negotiate the purchase, which was a large somewhat unconventional jumbo mortgage. Ian was highly professional, courteous, and a pleasure to do business with, and completely available and present during the entire process, from finding the home, dealing with the other broker and former owners, and handling the engineering and appraisal processes. I would heartily recommend Ian if you require an experienced and extremely helpful broker.

Dr. Letian Lucy Liu

Ian was really great during my home search. I’m from out of state and wanted to move to California and Ian was very flexible with remote home tours + while I was visiting California for in-person tours. He has a strong understanding the local market and act fast on new listings.

Charlie Lu

Ian was super helpful during my home search. Very responsive and paid close attention to detail during every step of the home search journey. He helped explain the real estate market in Southern California in detail early on, lined up homes to tour while working around my schedule, and ultimately helped me close on my new home very quickly! Could not be happier. During the transaction, he was always available the answer any questions I had regarding the paperwork.
