Today we’d like to introduce you to Cortez Ferrell.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My journey in real estate began with a genuine desire to help people build better lives through ownership and opportunity. Originally from Ohio, I moved to North Carolina in 2011 and quickly developed a passion for real estate — not just for the homes themselves, but for the lives they represent.
I started out managing rental properties, gaining hands-on experience with every side of the business. Over time, I realized my purpose went far beyond management — it was about guiding people through every stage of their real estate journey. That vision inspired me to create Blaque Tie Realty Group, a full-service firm where clients can buy, sell, invest, and manage with confidence.
At Blaque Tie, we combine professionalism, education, and elegance to deliver a one-of-a-kind real estate experience. My mission is simple: to help others create wealth, stability, and legacy through real estate — because when you work with us, you’re not just closing deals, you’re opening doors.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Not at all — but I wouldn’t trade the journey for anything. Like many entrepreneurs, I started with limited resources, no blueprint, and a vision that most people didn’t fully understand at first. There were times I had to balance a full-time job while building my business, manage setbacks, and learn the hard way about leadership, systems, and consistency.
Real estate can be unpredictable — deals fall through, markets shift, and clients’ needs change overnight. But each challenge taught me something valuable about resilience and faith. It pushed me to grow, to refine my systems, and to never lose sight of why I started: to help others reach stability and success through real estate.
Every obstacle helped shape Blaque Tie Realty Group into what it is today — a brand built on perseverance, professionalism, and purpose.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Blaque Tie Realty Group?
Blaque Tie Realty Group is more than a real estate company — it’s an experience. We’re a full-service real estate firm based in North Carolina, helping clients buy, sell, invest, and manage residential properties with confidence and class.
What sets us apart is our commitment to excellence and education. We don’t just close transactions — we build relationships, guide clients through the process, and empower them to make informed decisions that lead to long-term success. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, an investor expanding your portfolio, or a property owner seeking management, our goal is to make every step seamless and elegant.
The Blaque Tie brand represents luxury, integrity, and empowerment. We believe real estate should feel personal yet professional — where every client, regardless of price point, receives a high-end experience. I’m most proud that our brand has become a trusted name built on word-of-mouth, community connections, and a reputation for doing things the right way.
At Blaque Tie, we live by our motto: “Where Real Estate Meets Elegance.” We’re not just here to sell homes — we’re here to inspire ownership, create legacy, and redefine what professionalism looks like in real estate.
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
The most important lesson I’ve learned is that faith, consistency, and mindset determine everything. There will always be challenges — deals that fall through, people who doubt your vision, and moments that test your patience — but how you respond to those moments defines your success.
I’ve learned to trust God’s timing, stay consistent even when results aren’t immediate, and to keep showing up with excellence no matter what. Real estate has taught me that this business isn’t just about homes — it’s about people, relationships, and purpose.
When you focus on service instead of sales, everything else aligns. The journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s been worth it — because every lesson built the foundation for who I am and what Blaque Tie Realty Group represents today: resilience, integrity, and purpose.
