ANN ARBOR, MI – Charles “Chuck” Reinhart was a businessman, sports fan and a father.
Reinhart, who died Sunday, Jan. 3 at 96, was full of life, a “special guy” who started Reinhart Realtors in 1971, said daughter Sally Malnor.
Reinhart first opened the firm with Richard Caldwell as Caldwell and Reinhart Co. before buying out the company in 1981 and developing it into one of the area’s top home and commercial agencies before selling it in 1994.
Reinhart often aimed higher to achieve success with his company, said Dave Lutton, who took over in 1994. He praised Reinhart for achieving “a more dominant position in its market” and that “the principles that he played to are what led all of us to help build this terrific company.” The company also engages with the community by promoting local business guides and activities in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County.
