30 Apr 2024 501Der Women 2024: Karen Ferguson

In what usually takes REALTORS® many years to accomplish, Karen Ferguson has achieved in just a few. She has become a trailblazer in  real estate. Her professionalism and expertise have helped her gain recognition and respect not only from her clients and peers but also from her community.

“My drive, grit and passion for helping my clients and community has given me the name of ‘Go-Getter Realtor,’” Ferguson said. “Some of my achievements that I am most proud of are winning Faulkner County Board of Realtors Rookie of the Year Award my first year, the RE/MAX Hall of Fame Award and being named Best Real Estate Agent by Faulkner Lifestyle Magazine.”

Ferguson’s leadership in the 501 goes above and beyond her career. For years, she has invested heavily in supporting the communities she serves. Her many leadership positions include member and Ambassador of the Conway Chamber of Commerce, member and Sponsor of the Greenbrier Chamber of Commerce, member of Grow Greenbrier, Steering Committee member of Hope Village and Board of Directors positions for Harbor Home for Women, the Conway Ministry Center and Choosing to Excel for Youth.

“Helping people brings me joy,” Ferguson said. “Whether it’s helping people buy their dream home or helping women at The Harbor Home for Women learn how to create a resume and learn interviewing skills so they can get a job and get their children back, there’s no greater joy than helping people.”

True to her servant’s heart, she volunteers with Fellowship Bible Church in Conway and with several community projects, including feeding the homeless at Conway Ministry Center and assisting at the Harbor Home for Women and Hope Village, a housing development for the homeless and veterans. In partnership with Verona Italian Restaurant in Conway, she also launched the Cook 4 Conway project to feed people and nonprofits.

Her advice for younger women is to be their authentic selves. “You are your competitive advantage, as people do business with people they know, like and trust.”

Karen is married to Robert Ferguson, an Arkansas native. She has four bonus daughters and a disabled mother for whom she cares. In her spare time, she enjoys shopping and dining, volunteering in the community and camping with her family or at their cabin that her husband built.
