He was on top of things from the first moment we let him know we wanted to sell. As our neighbor, he went above and beyond to help us in preparing for the move. As our real estate agent, he made sure we had everything in order before we moved out of the country. He stayed in touch with us every step along the way and sold our house in a very short period of time. We would gladly have him represent us if we were to purchase a home as well!

We purchased a land-lot in Hedgesville, WV in July 2007 and the realtor suggested two local banks…read more(this was one). Because I always get three quotes for a major purchase (in this case, a land loan), I checked on the internet and compared. CNB had the best rates and terms relative to our needs. One thing that amazed me is that they service 100% of the loans they set up--they don't re-sell them. I still have my loan with them. We have been a happy customer for three years now. Once when I missed an automatic payment because I made an error with setting it up in my checking account, the loan officer called me with a reminder. So I was able to make the fix and get it on track. Now when did you last experience such individualized customer service from any regional or nationwide bank!

Would never recommend Jim Hafer! I sold my house in Hedgesville, WV in September. I interviewed…read moreseveral agents seeking a professional, one that seemed to be trustworthy, and would work in my best interest. Yet what I discovered is what a person says and promises may not be true. I choose Jim Hafer, Hafer Realty. He promised professional photos, to work in my interest to get the best price, and my impression was a person of integrity. My first indication that this was not true is when he mentioned as the house was being prepared to be marketed that he had a prospective client that "he might show it to." I agreed with the caveat that he inform me if it was to happen and give me feedback afterward. He showed the property and I did not know until a conversation two weeks later that he had done so and the client was not ready to buy. He had a responsibility to let me know when he was coming into my house. On 9/21 the house was listed. There were about 8 showings within 48 hours and he informed that a contract was coming in. The contract was received and was less than the asking price and when I asked about a counter his response "don't, accept it" despite it being $3 less. I did, regrettably. He even wanted to mark the house under contract when a ratified contract was not completed and would have if I had not objected. Closing was to be in 2 weeks and the buyer had multiple home inspections. It was Hafer that mentioned to me that they would have difficulty getting it all done and said he was going to call the buyer's agent and get them to do an extension. He did but - Why? It is their responsibility and when I asked him "what if I don't agree to an extension, they've written the contract that way - he said "they will probably not buy the house." I accepted this advice. The inspection came back with 5 pages of items every thing from them wanting a "hurricane strap" on the garage (who knows what that is - and Jim didn't), improvement that were never part of this near 40 yr old house such as gutters , and despite a house built on a hill - expecting grading. Some were reasonable and minor. During the discussion about counter to the inspection He informed me "listen, I have 2 other contracts to write tonight and I don't have time for this." I suggested to speed the deal forward $1500 credit, Jim suggested $5K and when I said "no" he said "would you go with $3K - and I said "maybe." He said he would call the agent and within 5 minutes he called me back and said "they want $3K". What a surprise! I accepted that - yet lingered this agent is more in pursuit of getting the deal done, his commission and certainly "I don't have time for this" indicated he was not working in my best interest. 4 days before closing we had a discussion and he said "I've not seen the the radon or mold inspection" and I informed him that I had been to the house and had not seen that they had done it. His response - "ill call them and see if they want it done." My response - "no you won't, if they had not done it, it is on them, we are closing." Is he working for me or the buyer?? I've had a handful of closings they are usually a happy time. Jim was outside when I arrived for closing on his cell phone didn't event greet me as I entered the building until in the room. Most agents thank the person for listing with them, even give a bottle of wine or a gift certificate as a thank you. Jim - "thank you for trusting me." I did - and now my perception is I know what you are about - get your commission and make a deal without regards to this seller and I would never trust you gain. There are many choices for realtors today. I wish I had gone with one of the others I interviewed who might have worked in my best interest. I think the house would have sold with knowledge what other houses have sold for since - at a higher price. At least a better agent would have suggested a "counter." Who knows. What I do know that Jim Hafer took pictures with his cell phone here were no professional pictures, never seemed to be working for me. I think I would have at least done better if I had taken pictures with my cell phone and paid a few hundred dollars and had one of the on-line companies to post on the realtor sites. I would have paid less commission and better service doing it myself. Bottom line - I would not recommend Jim Hafer.

I would highly recommend Jim & his Team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!

Let me tell you about my Realtor!…read more Real Estate w/Kimberly Winters, Realtor - Coldwell Banker Innovations is truly the best. Kim listened to what I wanted and needed out of the sale of my house. She was kind, caring, and supportive through the whole process! Kim is knowledgeable and incredibly well connected with buyers and sellers for all price points and markets. My house went active on a Friday, we have a dozen showings over the weekend, and by Monday we had 2 offers. It was a whirlwind to say the least! My daughter was with me through the majority of the process (single mom struggle) and Kim always made her feel welcome and heard. She was patient with both of us as this was a brand new experience for my daughter and I alike. With Kim, I knew I was getting the honest truth and her best efforts at every step. We ended up closing at asking, within my window of time I needed to sell in, and it was just great! So if you're looking to buy or sell in WV, give Kim a shout! We love her!

They answered the phone every time i called in 2-6 rings. I can't speak on the renovated apartments as I am in a classic but even as a classic you can still work with it. I was a previous homeowner and for the massive size of this complex it is incredibly well handled. There's something like 380 apartments here and the staff manage it fairly well, like i said for the massive size. If youre looking into it contact Yvette!!! She honestly made everything sooo easy. She also treated me like family and that was so warming & inviting having come from out of state. she even came on her off day to welcome me on my move in date. I was a homeowner for a while & here's my opinion so far on the apartments themselves and amenities: **(MAKING 3x the rent is seriously required for this place due to utilities.. please live within means or get a trusted room mate).** - G/W/Sewage are on the rental portal for you to pay SEPARATELY... electric & internet is paid separately. You will have to set up electric with Potomac Edison & get your own account #. - THEY ARE PET FRIENDLY... 2 pet limit (250 deposit each & 50 monthly each) - you can pay for reserved parking or park in the ample space, they have plenty of spots. (you will have to walk, people seem to have lots of cars for whatever reason in some buildings) - washers and dryers are paid via an app that you can preload money into. they're pretty simple to use. i wash my clothes frequently & haven't had an issue. - mailboxes are located on the bottom floor from what i've seen in my building. - they use Antietam as their internet provider. (t-mobile users beware though, i have some seriously bad service in the area & am switching providers soon). - storage space inside the apartments are absolutely insane, i owned a 2 bed 2 bath home & i had plenty of space for all my previous homeowners items (theres also storage rooms in the laundry room) - the windows are MASSIVE.. only thing is i do not get much natural light because i'm bottom floor. depends which poles your apartment faces. - the appliances work well, i dont like them much aesthetically but they do their job. the fridges & ovens are sooo cute though. - i dont like the sinks, very outdated and there is some hardwater build up, the garbage disposal is substandard but nothing i cant manage thankfully having experience in owning. if you wouldn't be able to deal with it go for the reno'd units. - my shower was updated & i must say, the water pressure is lovely on your back after moving in. - PLENTY OF OUTLETS OMG!!! - SOME recessed lighting/lighting fixtures. bedrooms and the living room do not have lighting so about 3 floor lamps would be needed. (the closets do have lighting). - the HVAC system does an amazing job, it's kind of loud though, it would wake me up periodically while i was dozing off. - the water gets absolutely scalding... whew - my carpets are something i can't speak on just yet, i had a weird situation & they need to be replaced so i cant speak on their quality as of yet. - i haven't tried the gym yet but im excited to go. that's all i have on the place for now. remember there's rental friendly things you can do to make these apartments your own. they have amazing potential and lovely staff. (not speaking on the reno'd units). & big thanks to Yvette and the property manager (Savannah too). you made things so much easier & welcoming.
