Jay Ferguson

Associate Broker/Owner (19 years experience)

My name is Jay Ferguson, and I am a lifelong resident of the Deep Creek Lake area. I enjoy spending time with family, friends and my two wonderful children, Kayleah and Noah. My wife Jessica and I really enjoy outdoor activities and the natural beauty of Garrett County and "Mountain Maryland". We are both active in our church, our community and plenty of volunteer efforts! I co-founded the real estate division of Taylor-Made Deep Creek Vacations & Sales in April of 2014. Within a year and a half, we had risen to the #2 agency in all of Garrett County. In August 2016, we purchased Long & Foster Real Estate Deep Creek, where I had started my career.I was also honored to be voted Realtor Of The Year in 2018. We now have nearly 30 agents and an extensive amount of market share. Taylor Made is the #1 vacation rental company at Deep Creek with over 360 homes, and nearly a hundred thousand yearly visitors. I really enjoy promoting my hometown. I am very proud of the resort area that has developed over my lifetime and look forward to growing the area even more! Deep Creek Lake has been described as 'The Lake Tahoe of the east', and I think that speaks volumes about the potential to own property here! Deep Creek Lake isn't really a town or city by itself; it's comprised of three towns: Oakland, Swanton & McHenry, Maryland. I am very passionate about my hometown and am impressed with the changes through the years. So, it makes sense that I began my career selling real estate here in December 2000. I started my career with Long & Foster Real Estate, and received many terrific honors & had many memorable experiences there. I won the 'Rookie of the Year' award for sales in 2001, my first full year in the business, and sold over $3 million in real estate. I had been a member of the coveted Gold Team (annual sales of $5+million) and earned the Gold Team Hall of Fame designation. In February 2010, I switched to Railey Realty. I enjoyed my time there and learned much more about the business. In 2014, I ended my tenure at Railey Realty as the Top Producing agent in the 1st quarter and went on to start Taylor Made & The rest is history!
