Chris Huffman

sales & marketing vice President

Having grown up in the Augusta area I am very fortunate in having firsthand knowledge, and life experiences of this exciting town and the surrounding communities. My previous marketing and sales experience along with community service has provided me with the tools, resources, and contacts that have become invaluable to my business and to my clients. This knowledge and experience combined with my passion for real estate and dedication to my clients has enabled me to build a career far exceeding my expectations.

I have made Columbia County my home for more than 25 years, with my husband Chip, and our three children, Chad, Chase, and Courtney. All three children attended Columbia County Schools where I volunteered countless hours and served on numerous boards and committees.

They say if you love what you do then it’s not work. This could not be more true in my case. From first-time home buyers, and empty nesters to retirees, each client is unique, it’s all about the process and I’m right there with you every step of the way.
