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.

It had to be at least 4-5 bedrooms, land with waterviews, have commercial space for my business and a workshop for my husband. It was basically a unicorn house lol. We also had to sell our existing home to be able to afford the new house. Due to our large family, we didn't want to move into temporarily housing. We wanted to list our house once we found the perfect new home. Other realtors told us this was nearly impossible. Pat was extremely patient with us and after a year we found the perfect house that was needed some TLC but had everything our family needed. After our home inspection, Pat & Ross negotiated a contract for $37k less than original asking price. This gave us the needed wiggle room in our budget for improvements. We then listed our old house on the market. Pat did wonderful with staging the home, as well as the listing photos and walkthrough video. She had an open house the next day and we had a full price offer. We were able to close on our old house at 10am on a Thursday and then close on our new house the same day at noon. Since the closing she and Ross have remained friends with our family and periodically comes to visit. She loves seeing how we progressed with the home improvements. These two are truly caring and I couldn't recommend them more!

When looking for the best agent to represent our unique property (upgraded home, extensive…read morehardscape and landscape, acreage, horse barn plus graded arena and paddocks), we chose Chris Ross over other agents for several reasons. * Chris came to our initial meeting prepared to discuss comps and variables that would affect pricing expectations. * Chris outlined a written plan of the actions he would take to ensure our property received extensive visibility to include multiple online sources, a professional photographer familiar with staging homes, an open house for brokers & agents in the region, plus the use of a communication app to coordinate showings and provide feedback. * Chris LISTENED to our needs and questions, addressing responses in a complete and timely manner. Chris Ross DELIVERED. The open house was a success. The glossy brochures contained vibrant photos, facts about the listing, and gave prospective buyers a wealth of information to review after the showings. The ShowingTime app worked flawlessly. We sold our home with the confidence that comes from sound negotiations and preparedness.

Tim Cline who owns Dog Watch of Winchester is one of the most conscientious business contractors I…read morehave ever had the pleasure of working with. We had our system installed 6 years ago and we could not be happier with the system or the service we have received from Tim over the years. He has a very happy personality and is very knowledgeable about the systems he installs and also has about the same knowledgeable about other inferior systems if you have questions regarding comparisons. The reason I am writing this review today is we had the alarm go off indicating a problem. Text messaged him Wednesday evening and he was here at 11:00 AM Thursday and had the problem diagnosed in Five minutes and had it fixed Ten minutes later. It appears that the landscapers must have hit a box containing electrical devices on the side of the house and knocked a wire off something inside it. Over the years I have had Tim just stop by and see us when he is in the neighborhood just to talk to us and to see how things are and to see our dogs. He has such a good report with dogs and both my Rottweilers just love him. Initially my dogs didn't respect the fence with the normal collar that is sold with the system. Well Tim custom designed special collars for my two that included extra contacts that go up the side of their throats so now they each have four contacts that make contact under their chin on the chest neck area and up further. I TELL YOU THEY RESPECT THE BOUNDARY LINES NOW. Our landscapers over the years have had a habit of not remembering where the underground wires are buried and have cut through them when edging the yard. I immediately call Tim and he is always here either the same or next day to ensure our dogs are kept contained. He sells a very good product and is much less expensive than some of his competition. The reason I know that is because I got different price quotes from them all prior to choosing Dog Watch. Collar Batteries are good for 2 years, so you don't have to always remember to get one monthly or get on a monthly battery plan like other systems. They also sell a newer system now that actually sends messages to your cellular phone if there is a problem. I think it sends messages for other things too but I'm not certain what all it does. I think it is a stronger signal also that handles more determined dogs who think they can break through. I can't say enough good things about Tim Cline and his Dog Watch business. He takes pride in what he sells and how he handles his customers. I really enjoy talking to him when he is here. Please tell him you called him because of my review so he will know I referred you. PS: I read a review on Google that some woman posted about 5 years ago that she should really consider taking down which affected his rating here on google. It appears from the review she called him complaining there was something wrong with her fence and ultimately discovered when he arrived that it was not the fence but a smoke detector near the equipment that was installed in the house. She commented that he charged a service call fee for driving out to her home to determine what was happening which I know from my past dealing with him is simply $45.00. She bitched claiming he had the gall to charge her a service fee. Now why wouldn't you expect to pay a fee for a service call especially when nothing was wrong with what he had installed. This woman was mad because of that. She is damn lucky it wasn't a $125.00 like Lowes, Sears, Home Depot, and other companies charge to come to your house just to diagnose a problem prior to actually fixing it. I've come to realize that some people would complain if they had a tit in both hands. Instead of maybe just cutting her review a star she busted his reputation by giving him just one star. You can read my reviews and I am honest with everyone I have written and deliver exactly what is deserved. Dog Watch of Winchester is a highly professional company and Tim Cline is one of the best service providers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. If anyone wants to see how a system works, I have given Tim permission to bring perspective clients to my home for a demonstration. Tim if you read this review, please be aware that we appreciate everything you have done for us and our two Rottweilers. Mark Anderson

I cannot begin to tell you how satisfied we have been with Tim and his team. They came when they…read moresaid they would; they returned when they said they would; and they thoroughly explained the system to us. We have 6 dogs of varying sizes and they set and adjusted the collars appropriately. We nicknamed one of our dogs "The Escape Artist" because she would find any way to run, paying no attention to the invisible fence we had at our old property. Tracking her down was both a chore and a half and a cause for worry. Now, we just open the door and let her run. She stays within the perimeter that Dogwatch created. She used to strain at the leash when a car drove by; now she basically ignores them other than a few barks as they go by. The dog is happy, she even seems more spry, and we have peace of mind. This system works and the folks who installed clearly know what they are doing and they love dogs. John C
