Steve Snider
Founding Member, Broker
Cameron Ferguson
Executive Client Manager, Broker
After 17 years in real estate, Steve Snider can honestly say he has listed and sold homes in most parts of the city.
Four generations of his family have been involved in Seattle real estate. In 1932, his great-grandfather opened MacPherson’s Real Estate in the University district. His mother has worked in the mortgage industry for 36 years, and his father is an appraiser. When Snider was young, his grandmother drove him around Seattle, teaching him about real estate, architecture and construction. “She was the first female builder in Seattle,” recalls Snider, a fifth-generation Seattleite and founding member and broker at Real Residential. “She inspired me to pursue a career in real estate.”
After graduating college where he studied real estate, Snider immediately launched his career as a licensed broker. He recently hired Cameron Ferguson, his executive client manager, who has a similar background. A third-generation real estate broker, she grew up surrounded by role models. “I have always looked up to their determination, passion for real estate and entrepreneurial mindset,” says Ferguson. “It inspired me to study entrepreneurship and innovation at Texas Christian University, with the goal to integrate what I learned into my career in real estate.”
Together they manage client expectations, adhere to the “under-promise, over-deliver” theory and raise the bar by providing top-notch service to their clients. Both are passionate about achieving their clients’ goals while making the process as streamlined and educational as possible.
Earlier this year, Snider sold out a six-home new construction community near Blue Ridge at higher prices and lower time on the market than the competition. More recently, he showcased his innovative marketing skills with one of the most prestigious listings of his career: a $11.75 million waterfront property in Seattle’s Elford Park neighborhood.
In his career, Snider has completed over 700 transactions and admits he is constantly learning. “I don’t expect to ever stop learning,” he says. “But I believe my clients benefit from what I have learned so far.”
