In 2009 Steven graduated from the University of Connecticut School of Business earning an MBA with dual concentrations in both Real Estate and in Finance.<br><br>Steven remarks, “My time in the UConn MBA program proved invaluable as it coincided with the financial crisis of 2008. Having professors who had real world experience having worked at FNMA, FHMC, the Federal Reserve, as well as Real Estate & Financial Investment Companies, who could explain the problems facing the country as well as comment on proposed solutions proved to be extremely enlightening.”<br><br>“As a result of all of my efforts to further my education, I feel like I am better able to serve my clients and help them identify the best real estate solutions to their unique situation. Whether it’s purchasing their first home, moving up to their next home, purchasing a condominium, exploring investment properties, building the custom home they have been dreaming of or downsizing to the perfect retirement spot, I feel like my broad knowledge base offers my clients an advantage they can’t find elsewhere,” says Ferrigno.<br><br>Steven is married to his wife Melissa and the two have a daughter and a son.
