Ferrell holds a BBA degree in Real Estate and Urban Development from the University of Georgia. He founded Dreamworks Homes, Inc. and serves as its president. Additionally, he is the principal of Kitchens Appraisers & Consultants, Inc. holding the highest level of appraisal license (Certified General) the state of Georgia offers. He has served as an appraiser for the Veterans Administration (VA) for over 20 years.

Ferrell has served in a variety of capacities both professionally and in community service. In his early career he was a successful real estate broker in Macon earning life membership in the Million Dollar Club. During this time he served in many local and state capacities including being one of the Board of Governors for GRI, trustee for the state political action committee, local and state director and other capacities. Civic activities have also been an active part of his agenda serving as chairman of the Board of Tax Assessors as well as being vice chairman of the county commission.

In 2001, Ferrell increased his involvement in new construction forming Dreamworks Homes, Inc. Having the benefit of inspecting thousands of both new and used homes, he observed a basic need in the local market for better quality, smaller homes. His commitment was to provide affordable homes with features the public didn't expect. A typical Dreamworks Home has virtually everything included as standard that are extras in most competitive houses.

Ferrell enjoys a full time personal life. He and his wife Nancy live here in Houston County and attend Friendship Baptist Church on Feagin Mill Road. They own LoneOak Farm just over in Peach County where he raises and trains English Pointer bird dogs for field trials. They have Tennessee Walking horses as well as chickens, homing pigeons and a variety of wildlife which are very protected. One of his great passions is riding around the farm with “Maggie”checking the many food plots he plants for all Gods creatures.

He feels particularly blessed to have Nancy and his son John in the day to day operations of Dreamworks.

Ferrell’s approach to life is fairly simple. Pray daily for the wisdom and guidance to properly handle all personal and professional matters. Love and take care of your family. Finally, treat everyone with fairness and in the way you would like to be treated. He considers it a privilege when a potential buyer considers a home he has built and absolutely does not compromise the trust his customers place in him.
