Project Goal
Most people navigating the real estate market are presented with one path. This project's aim is to surface a second. Direct transactions between buyers and sellers are more common than most realize, more protected than most expect, and have the potential to meaningfully reward both buyers and sellers.
Fig Tree Housing's goal isn't to replace conventional lending. This approach has real trade-offs and isn't right for every situation. But it's a path that can help unlock homeownership for people who can't reach it, allow buyers to put down roots in their dream communities, and keep money circulating locally. Those are reason enough to share its possibility with you.
Biography
Ian Ferguson
Principal & Founder, Fig Tree Housing
I’m interested in improving the systems that shape our lives. Professionally, it is an interest that led me to energy - I earned a Master's Degree studying energy systems and, apart from limited projects in Nepal and Zambia, have spent my career thinking about how to improve American and European energy infrastructure.
Housing, and the markets that govern housing here in the US, has been a personal interest since 2021. What began as a specialized underwriting model has grown into a network of professional connections and knowledge I'd like to share.
