About
Jim has strong local ties to the Martinsburg community. Born and raised here, he graduated Valedictorian from Martinsburg High School. He then attended the College of Wooster, where he graduated with honors, majoring in Economics. After working in the business sector in Cleveland, OH Jim returned home in 2002 to begin a career in real estate. He now lives with his wife and two sons in Hedgesville, WV.
He is currently in his 22nd year as a Realtor and 16th as a Broker. After success with Re/Max Real Estate Group, the Hafer Team held the grand opening of Hafer Real Estate Group in April 2009 where Jim is the Owner/Broker. Over the last decade, Jim has expanded into commercial real estate, both in leasing/sales and property management, highlighted by leasing projects such as Martinsburg Commons and Old Courthouse Square. While the expansion into the commercial market is enjoyable, Hafer remains very active on the residential side as well:
“I really enjoy working with both buyers and sellers and am well-versed in strategies to help both types of client achieve success in their goals.”
After spending a successful half-decade with Modern Realty Results, Jim has now signed on with Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Homesale Realty, where he’ll help establish a market presence as the WV Broker. It is a partnership that will allow Hafer to step into more of a leadership role while also continuing to help buyers and sellers. Most importantly, Hafer says, “it’s about the people”, referring not only to the agents and staff at BHHS, but also their way of putting clients first. “This move never would have happened if our values weren’t aligned.”
Jim engages in Commercial and Residential Sales at Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Homesale Realty. Hafer Real Estate Group will continue as well, for Commercial and Residential Leasing and Property Management.
