CHAR HUFF’S PROPERTY SHOPPE

Your Boutique in Real Estate

An Important Note From Char... I love the sound of it! I love walking in the front door each morning! I love the friendly voices that call to ask a simple question or inquire about an investment opportunity or new house to call “Home”! I love the friends that I’ve made and the opportunities to share in the growth of our beautiful communities! I feel my life has counted in some degree in making a difference in the lives of those I’ve been blessed to meet and work with during my 25+ years in real estate. As I come to the end of my real estate career I want to offer the services of “Char Huff’s Property Shoppe”! I’m not quitting until I have to…I love it too much. I will be available to help you find and research properties that come to your attention…..just call the office – 309.825.2427 or stop by and let’s chat and pull up some things that might be of interest to you. I want to spend the rest of my time helping in whatever way I can to meet your real estate needs. I have been blessesd with some wonderful, professional agents that have agreed to help me during these last days. You and I will find the properties and they will follow up to see that we make a “match”…..sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Char Huff’s Property Shoppe was born of an idea that my daughter and I had just before she went to be with the Lord over two years ago! I thought it would be something I could carry on for many years to come (who cares that I’m 77 years old?) and continue to enjoy the friendships of so many wonderful clients who have become friends….but God had another plan for me and I always take His hand and let Him do the leading. Recently I found that I needed to restructure my little shop and use the remaining time I have on this earth to help those of you that need consultation, advice on buying, building and relocation. I have 25 years of knowledge and experience that I’d love to share with you…that you’ll always remember – “Char Huff was here for me until the end.” Therefore, I am keeping my doors open to the Property Shoppe although have been told that I have a terminal cancer of the bone/blood – multiple myeloma – stage 3 of 4. The only things that I know that that means is that if I’ve got some things to get done , I’d better get to them! The first things I want to do is thank all of you for supporting my wonderful real estate career and for your continued friendship – Far greater than I could have expected in my life. How grateful I am! As I walk the end of this journey on earth,, I look forward to the next part, when I can look at Jesus “fact to face” and say “thank you” for a beautiful life on earth! I know the best is yet to come! This is not a sad time but a new journey and I will be talking with many of my fellow realtors and friends to help through the end of this “God planned” journey. My assistant, Kri, has been a wonderful helper thru the last 2+ years and I hope she has benefited from some of the things I have shared with her as she begins her new adventure in real estate. The person that gets her will certainly be blessed. I will continue to refer clients to her as the need arises. Just remember – give me a call and let’s do this together!!! Gratefully & Prayerfully,

Char
