Lex was our real estate agent on our first home purchase ever and I honestly cannot think of anyone else we could’ve worked with that would’ve walked us through the process better. Lex is SO communicative and responsive, and he really brings the human connection to the entire transaction. We really felt like he was a friend looking out for the best deals for us rather than a salesman trying to collect on his commission. We told him what we were looking for and our budget, and he listened and delivered. Within 2 days of reaching out, he took us to our first round of showings, submitted an offer that weekend and got us closed in less than 30 days, BELOW the asking price. He connected us with the best team of lenders and the entire process went so smoothly, I honestly can’t believe I was so apprehensive about the entire process just a month ago. Lex is no doubt the best realtor you’re gonna find on the island, so stop shopping around and just call him!

Lex was wonderful to work with, enthusiastic, and a get it done realtor. I’m sure we’ll work together again

My partner and I had been searching for the right property for over two years and had a tough checklist of 'must-haves' for our future home. We worked with Lex to find our dream house, and could not have asked for a better agent. Behind closed doors we called him the 'golden retriever' of real estate--eager to please and always thrilled to help out :). From start to finish, he was incredibly dedicated, patient, and always had our best interests in mind. No matter how competitive the market or how many twists our search took, Lex stayed proactive — always following up, tracking deadlines, and making sure every piece of paperwork and escrow process was handled flawlessly. Throughout the process, Lex treated us like family, ensuring that we chose the right home for us even if it elongated our timeline and put additional burden on his schedule. It’s rare to find someone so committed, knowledgeable, and trustworthy in real estate. We’re deeply grateful for all the time and energy Lex invested in helping us find the right home — and we’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell.

We moved to Oahu a little over two years ago and recently purchased our home with the help of Lex Ferguson. From start to finish, Lex was professional, trustworthy, and one of the hardest-working people we’ve ever met. He had endless energy, was always available to answer questions, and truly went above and beyond to guide us through the process. Lex is extremely knowledgeable about the market and always up to date on new homes as they come available. His dedication and work ethic made what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and exciting one. I cannot recommend Lex more highly — if you are looking to buy or sell on Oahu, he is absolutely the realtor you want by your side.

I interviewed several realtors and Lex showed the most drive and determination to prove that he would do the best job. Once hired, he did that, plus above and beyond of what was expected. He communicated thoroughly with me throughout the process, provided timely updates, and was just overall awesome to work with.

Lex sold our house in 2 weeks during a buyers market. Great communication, great photographers, great closing team.

If you’re looking for the best real estate agent in Hawaii who you can trust, will have your back, and hustle for you then look no further - Lex Ferguson is your guy.   I’ve worked with dozens of agents over the past 20 years and all have disappointed except for 2; Lex is one of them.  They talk a big game to lock you into an agreement preventing you from pursuing another agent before they’ve proven themselves.  And once you’re locked into the agreement they show you how bad of an agent they are.  They don’t hustle, lookout for you, or offer you the expert guidance you expect and need.  They’re purely transactional and as soon as they get their commission from your purchase - they ghost you. NONE of this applies to Lex Ferguson.  He’s relational vice transactional and cares more about the relationship he has with his clients over making a sale.  His loyalty to you will make you latch to him and establish a deep trust that is the most important aspect of doing business when you’re about to spend a ton of money for a home in HI.  He earns your trust and strengthens it throughout every interaction during your search.  He hustles in every action he takes and has this incredible ability to maintain motivation and speed to work for you even when a sale is not on the horizon.  What he doesn’t hustle on is pushing a sale.  He imposes the highest pressure and standards on himself to provide you the best service you’ll get but he’ll never push a sale on you. When I was about ready to sign an offer with him but backed out because it was just too much to afford his response was “Dan, I don’t care how long it takes I will find you the house you want and you’ll love it”.   One month later I found the house I wanted and we made our best offer.  There were 14 offers.  My offer was the highest initial offer but I was 3rd from the bottom when all the escalation clauses kicked in.  The seller chose the cash offer and I gave up on the house.  Lex did not.  He maintained communications with the selling agent and the cash offer fell out of escrow.  So who got the first call of the 13 other offers you ask?  It was to Lex.  You can call it luck but if you experienced the hustle and rigor Lex put into every action he took to get this house you wouldn’t call it luck; you’d call it Lex.  If you want the best service and best chance to find your ideal home in HI then Lex is your guy. Two things I’d like to quote Lex on that I believe describe the type of person you’d be partnering with if choose 1. Because commissions out here probably average $40k+, I asked Lex if he has a min commission range he strives for to make his time worth the effort. His response: “Dan, do you know many tables you have to wait to make $10k? I waited tables growing up and you have to wait a lot of tables to make that kind of money. I don’t have a minimum and I don’t focus on the money on anything other than providing for my family. I focus on my clients’ needs. That’s what matters 2. Few days Before closing day, I did a walk through. The lawn looked like a jungle and needed to be cut. Lex coordinated everything but never received confirmation from the seller. He panicked and woke up at 4am to check the property before I got there to ensure it was done so I went into closing satisfied and excited about closing. This level of attention to detail, punctuality, and professionalism is not normal but it is what puts Lex above the rest. Finally, the only time I spend writing reviews are for exceptional experiences and when I write them I try to offer metrics and factors that say more than “he’s great. Hire him”. Also, my few reviews online are the same as my recommendations to my friends and family. Lex is the real deal and you may not have to experience how bad it could be out here if you’re smart enough to go with Lex. The best first step you can make to protect your future investment is to partner with him. Good luck on your search!

Lex Ferguson is the ONLY realtor you need whether buying or selling, do not look any further! Lex goes ABOVE & BEYOND to help you along the way. He will work hard to keep as much money in your pocket and as stress free as possible! His phone is full of island contacts to help the process go smoothly, and if he doesn't have someone.. he'll find them! An added bonus is that his wife does beautiful staging! Wish we would have met him sooner! A bonus friend for life!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lex, and I can confidently say that my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From our very first meeting, it was clear that he was not just a skilled real estate agent, but also a genuinely caring individual who truly puts his clients first. Lex was incredibly personable, making the entire process feel comfortable and enjoyable. He took the time to listen to my needs and preferences, ensuring that I felt heard every step of the way. What stood out to me the most was his vast knowledge of the market. I wholeheartedly recommend Lex to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. His professionalism, knowledge, and personable nature made the entire journey not only successful but also enjoyable. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again in the future—thank you for making this experience such a positive one!

Lex was incredible to work with! He was responsive, conscientious, knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and delivered amazing results. 12/10 would recommend.

Intelligent and attentive agent who worked hard and exceeded our expectations. I would strongly recommend Lex to anyone.

Lex was absolutely amazing from the very first day I told him what I was looking for. He started looking at properties for me immediately. Even better, throughout the entire process he was readily available even though I had to buy my property aight unseen and was also on a different time zone. He communicated with me, gave me valid advice and explained details so amazingly that probably a toddler could understand (a little exaggerated but you know what I mean). I would recommend Lex because he really committed to finding a me a good place and delivered on that promise. If you are looking for a home, trust me, don’t waste your time with other realtors. He is literally the best! No other realtor that I originally considered did half the work that Lex did in the beginning especially when I was still shopping for realtor. He is the best realtor to have at your side and he is seasoned in real estate and also works with veterans. 10/10 would recommend!

We cannot say enough good things about our experience working with Lex Ferguson and his Life on Oahu team. In 30+ years of real estate transactions, I can honestly say I don’t believe I’ve ever had a real estate agent where I felt like he/she earned every penny of their commission—UNTIL NOW!! Lex went above and beyond every single day helping our family find a perfect home for our needs. His knowledge of Oahu and all of the neighborhoods around Honolulu is second to none! If you haven’t seen his vlogs on YouTube, you need to check them out to get a little taste of his personality. He’s professional, kind, intelligent, very funny, and super knowledgeable. He has connections with any contractor you may ever need, but he’s also tied in with the best restaurants/bars,/coffee shops, etc. And more importantly, my family feels like we have a good friend in the neighborhood now. His home sale with us is finished, but he continues to work with us to facilitate things we need to make our home the best for our needs. Lex— Thank you for being the very best! We are super grateful for all the help you provided on our journey in becoming a Hawai’i homeowner. Sincerely, The Dean Family

Highly recommend Lex as our Real Estate Agent. We trusted Lex completely from beginning to end of our Hawaii condo buying process with him helping us to make all the right decisions. Lex is very knowledgeable, competent, present and prompt. He was always there to help us make good decisions.

My experience with Lex was, extraordinary and excellent. I met Lex , I told him , I had not had any luck finding a place with any of the prior realtors I had engaged with over 7 years. I told him I wanted to find a surf shack on the ocean with reef protection, and hopefully good surf out front . One of the first things he told me was , “we will find you a house”, and he said it with 100 percent conviction. In my head , I was “well I doubt it but let’s see”. We worked together for many months. Every single day , of every single week, of every single month, Lex was on it . Quickly , my confidence grew. I quickly believed , if there was to be a house , Lex indeed , was the guy who would find it. He did not sit around waiting for listings, he did mailings, and knocked on doors , and used other creative methods in pursuit , not just for some commission, but in an all out effort to get the perfect property for me. Well, today, we closed on the house he found. Was it on the 4-10k square ft lot I expected ? No, it was on almost 3/4 of an acre. Was it a surf shack? Yes, but surf shacks, prural. Two epic small homes sitting on a private , beautifully landscaped, ocean from spot. Additionally , it faces multiple world class surf breaks right out in front of the property. Finding the property was a good portion of the battle, but then he had to contend with a crazy, delicate, situation. The seller and his family were great people and also , for good reason, in many ways did not want to let go of the property. They owned it for 25 years , and it was and is a rare gem. The escrow was ultimately agreed to be 100 days . And it closed a bit ahead of schedule . However , the 21/2 months or so , it did persist , were complex ,with lots of emotions , family office involvement, grown kids , and on and on. Multiple parties with lots of needs and desires , often conflicting needs and desires , which required a high level of skill to navigate .Without Lex, this never would have happened . He handled all parties exquisitely, and any time I thought I knew better, he was correct . Additionally, he never once encouraged me to consider houses that would not suit me. He also, never suggested , I over offer on a place , simply to make a sale. He is on top of his game from a-z, he was engaged and looking from start to finish. He never bs’d me . He is a straight shooter , a young father and a family man, a man of his word, and never he lost confidence and worked tirelessly to deliver. And he substantially over delivered, by a long shot . Forever greatful to Lex for his hard work and always a professional. And as if all that was not enough, he is just a great guy.

I have worked with many, many realtors and Lex is hands down the best. He is organized, knowledgeable, responsive, quick, solution-oriented, creative, and THE person you want on your side representing you in a transaction. He will always make time, is so personable and relatable, and takes time to listen to what his clients want and need.

Lex is AMAZING. I don't think I've ever met someone who is so instantly relatable yet so informed about the nuances of Hawaii real estate and so ready to take action for you. The way he was able to articulate exactly what I was looking for before we even finished our first meeting was beyond impressive to say the least. Lex is the definition of the realtor that will not rest until he knows you have had the best possible experience with him. I'm so glad I get to call him a friend now and I look forward to working with him on my next investment.

As others have mentioned, Lex is a highly professional, knowledgeable, and responsive realtor. I was looking at apartments in Ward Village for potential investment and he knew it back to front and was able to provide informed advice and recommendations. If you are looking for a home or an investment property in Hawaii and want an expert to guide you, I would recommend Lex without reservation.

Hands down the best agent I've ever met. Professional and fun. All around pleasure to work with
