Peter McFarren


For the past eleven years, I’ve been proud to call Charlottesville home while serving clients as part of the Howard Hanna Real Estate Services team. Originally from Bolivia, I bring a unique and diverse background that spans journalism, photography, filmmaking, and social entrepreneurship. My work has included founding children’s museums and cultural centers designed to empower communities, as well as professional experiences in Washington D.C., Egypt, and here in Central Virginia.

Locally, I’ve embraced community life through service and leadership. As a former president and board member of the Albemarle County Rotary Club, I’ve supported education, youth programs, and charitable initiatives. I’ve also contributed to affordable housing efforts through Habitat for Humanity.

My real estate career is strengthened by extensive experience in financing, project development, and understanding the housing market from the ground up—including construction and renewable energy projects. As a licensed REALTOR®, I combine a passion for helping people with a deep knowledge of real estate to guide clients confidently through the process of buying or selling a home. Backed by the trusted Howard Hanna team, I am committed to delivering personalized service and ensuring each client achieves their goals with success and satisfaction.

Peter is amazing and truly a one-of-a-kind realtor! My wife and I recommend him 100% and we are proud to have referred others to Peter many times. Peter is thoughtful, patient, always available to answer our questions, and unwaveringly dedicated. He’s helped us buy two properties in Charlottesville, and each time he’s gone above and beyond, offering steady guidance, local expertise, knowledge of trends and data, and a calming presence even in the most stressful and prolonged situations. Most recently, he walked us through an incredibly complex and drawn-out contract process, always available to answer questions and offer clarity when things felt overwhelming. Peter’s kindness, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the regional market made all the difference — we wouldn’t have closed without him. He also knows so many people and experts in our community, and he's helped us make many connections to bankers, lenders, home builders, work crews, and many other specialists over our many years working with him. Peter's not just a great realtor; he’s someone you can trust and count on completely. He feels like family to us. We feel so grateful to have had Peter by our side!
