Personal Profile

Jim Ernst is a top-producing, full-time agent in Berks County, licensed in 1995. Jim has built a solid reputation through his proven ability to assist buyers and sellers with a smooth, stress-free sale of their home. Jim is committed to listening to his client's needs and utilizing his extensive knowledge of the real estate industry to ensure a successful transaction. Jim has a vast knowledge of financing and the multitude of programs available, and prides himself in working with buyers to find them the best program available for their specific needs. Jim also enjoys working with investors, as he has been an investor himself, having owned several investment properties throughout the years. Jim understands the importance of building and maintaining relationships, which is why his continuously expanding network of loyal clients, personal referrals, and repeat business has formed the foundation of his successful real estate career. Jim has an almost 100% satisfaction rating, which is why most of his new clients come as referrals from previous clients. Jim understands that buying and/or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions in a person's life. If you are thinking of buying or selling, please contact Jim as early in the process as possible. He often finds that if he can sit down with buyers or sellers before they are ready to make their move, he can provide them with valuable information that will help them in their planning and make the process more productive for his clients. Jim was born and raised in Fleetwood, which is where he currently resides with his family. Jim attended college at Mt. Saint Mary's in Maryland, and he also spent a year living in Ecuador, where he learned to fluently speak Spanish. Jim loves spending time with his family, and he also enjoys sports and billiards. For 29 years as a full-time realtor, nurturing relationships and truly helping individuals and families achieve their home buying and selling goal is what I love most about being a realtor. I am a community expert and full-time Realtor for our Berks County towns and boroughs and have helped many to realize their dreams. Whether you are looking to purchase your first home, move up, invest, or downsize. I can help you navigate the way. Born and raised in Fleetwood, and a life-long resident of Berks County, I enjoyed my time at Mt. Saint Mary's College in Maryland and the year I spent living in South America. This is where I perfected my Spanish and now actively work with many clients who prefer to do business in the language. Preparation is a key factor in home buying and selling, and I want to ensure that all my clients have the most success in their real estate endeavors.

      James did an excellent job. He helped us sell our house in less than a week and got us several offers. Overall, we were happy with our selling and closing experience.
    • Buyer review
      James was incredibly helpful in our search and purchase of our first home. Patience with our barrage of questions, knowledgeable in answering those questions, etc. Definitely 5 stars across the board.
    • Seller review
      I highly recommend Jim Ernst. He was always accessible to answer questions. He explained issues very well. I was not even local--and he simply handled everything. This, BTW, was a sale for a home of the deceased.
    • Buyer review
      Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I felt very supported and was able to always get an answer to any question I had.
    • Buyer review
      If you need a Realtor who will listen to you and respond with knowledge and compassion, James is your guy! He was responsive to questions with his knowledge of the area and market. He was realistic with his suggestions and helpful in meeting our exact needs! Don't use anyone else! Ask for James! He is definitely the guy who will serve you best!!
    • Seller review
      Being the owner of a business that deals directly with people, I can usually find something in another face to face business person that I disagree with or would change. Working with Mr. Ernst was a complete pleasure from start to finish, exceptional professionalism and knowing the right moves to work around a few issues. He also knew a lot of people in various professions that helped me move my house to market quicker plus allowing for a higher sale price in the end. I highly recommend Jim to anyone looking to buy or sell.
