Hafez grew up abroad in a family deeply involved in real estate, inspired by his father, a University of Washington alum. After beginning his real estate studies in Texas, he moved to Washington to advance his career. His experience spans roles in community outreach and sales across multiple states. Currently, he works as a Project Manager for D&S, overseeing
decking estimates and managing projects from planning to execution. It was here that he discovered his passion for real estate development.
Hafez plans to use the skills he’s gaining from the MSRE program to build his own real estate portfolio and start a development firm with his brother. Outside of work, he stays active with swimming, CrossFit, and snowboarding. He’s excited to bring the insights and connections from the program into the real estate industry.
