What Our Clients Have To Say

Chad has a real passion for what he does! He was our agent for the purchase of a house a few years ago and just recently a condo. He is dedicated to customer service and finding exactly what you are looking for - even if that changes throughout the process. Chad returns calls quickly, has tools to help you through the entire process and truly supports his clients. When he went out of town during our search he arranged for an associate to tour us through a few homes. This is so important in a fast moving real estate market. I would t consider working with anyone else!

Chad is an selling machine...organized, professional and truthful in handling your real estate needs....if you want to sell or buy, he is the one you want on your side

Chad is an exceptional realtor who made my experience as a first time seller a breeze. His transparency and efficiency were truly impressive. What sets Chad apart is his data-driven approach and deep market insight, which led to spot-on pricing advice. He handled every challenge that arose during the sale process with ease which is a valuable skill to have as a realtor. Chad's expertise and professionalism ensured a swift and smooth transaction from start to finish. Easily one of the best realtors I have worked with. I highly recommend Chad to anyone looking for a top-notch realtor who delivers results.

We were referred to Chad by a friend who had heard about his reputation in Smyrna. Chad is a diligent and hardworking agent. He persevered with our family for 9 long months during the grueling pandemic housing market to show us house after house. He never grew impatient or discouraged by our search. Our criteria were challenging and he listened intently and encouraged us to always visit a home and never eliminate it just from the listing pictures or criteria. We looked at home in a variety of neighborhoods. We ultimately purchased a home that he found for us off market in Brookhaven and saved us from the horrors of bidding wars. It was a fun experience and while I expected to get fired at any second, it never happened. I would refer him to any buyer. He is pleasant to work with and has a great sense of humor. Look him up! Two year update….After a short two years in our Brookhaven house, we have to move back to DC. Chad came back and helped us find a buyer in a challenging market with high rates.

Chad loves helping people, and it shows with each conversation you'll have with him. I worked with him on two different occasions so far and both far exceeded my expectations. He played an important role in helping me evaluate neighborhoods, think about layouts, and we talked about what was most important to me - Then he made it happen (not once, but twice). Chad’s local experience, attention to detail, and amazing execution are just a few reasons I really enjoyed working with him. He makes what you want to happen, actually happen! All while making it easy along the way. I feel like he's a good friend of mine, who has my absolute best interest in mind. If you’re looking to buy a home or sell your house fast (and for the price you want) – I HIGHLY recommend working with Chad. You can thank me afterwards!!

I'm writing this letter to recommend Chad Schernikau as a realtor for your real estate needs. As a real estate agent, Chad conducts his work thoroughly and efficiently throughout the entire listing, browsing and negotiation process. His character, years of experience and qualifications speak for themselves. He is a leader in his field, and even volunteer’s his time with seniors in making sure that they’re not taken advantage of. ‘That alone speaks volumes! I highly recommend Chad! He is kind, honest, a straight shooter & he had our backs like no other as he walked us through the selling process. He stayed on top of things, guided us, kept us informed & went above and beyond like no other. We could not have asked for more, are so grateful and feel incredibly blessed to have had him as our agent. Chad is a professional who genuinely cares. He takes pride in his work, cares about others, what he does, and it shows, all of which allow me to recommend he and his services to you with confidence. Chad is awesome and there aren’t enough words to express our appreciation of him & all he does.

Chad’s service is always impeccable!! I have used him for several listings and a purchase.

If you were to search the definition for "efficiency" a picture of Chad would probably pop-up. Chad moves at a fast pace, explains everything in detail, and helps you narrow options based on your wants and needs. He is responsive no matter the time of the day and would go over the fence to get you the house you want. Chad: Your work and effort helped me get my first house in a time frame that no other agent considered a possibility. Along with Movement Mortgage ya'll made the best team and made this purchase as easy, transparent, and understandable as it could be for a first-time buyer. Know for sure that I thank God for all the time and patience you had with me.

Chad is the best! He’s patient, honest and caring for his clients needs. He won’t rush you into buying the wrong house and will make sure once you find the right one that you put your best foot forward to get that house. He helped us find a home outside of his typical area. We appreciate all the help Chad and Lakesha!

Chad Schernikau from Total Atlanta Group with Kepler Williams Realty was very helpful, educational and highly responsive throughout my selling and buying process. He went above and beyond to quickly sell my house and find the perfect new home for all of my wants and needs. I highly recommend him for anyone’s future real estate endeavors!

Chad Schernikau is great! He followed up with me throughout the whole process of visiting properties, making an offer, and buying a home, making sure all my questions were answered promptly. I couldn't be happier thanks to Chad's help and the awesome team he put together to provide great support. Overall I had a great experience as a first-time home buyer and look forward to working again with Chad in the future. Five stars!

I had been trying to buy a home in October, but things did not fall into place. Chad told me he would stay in contact with me each month until I was ready to try again. He did just that and stuck in there with me all the way. I will go to Chad again and again!! He is a really great person!

Chad Schernikau is the best realtor I have ever worked with. He was consistently knowledgeable, patient, and available for any questions we had as first-time homebuyers. He accompanied us to each house we visited and helped us choose the best home for our lifestyle. He explained every part of every document, every nook and cranny and potential watchout for every property we visited, and did so with a smile throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend Chad's services highly enough. To any potential homebuyers looking for an amazing relator: you've found them.

A short while ago we were suddenly informed that the house that we have been renting for the past seven years was going to be sold. The last thing that we wanted to have to do was to think about moving. As a senior citizen veteran I turned to the Cobb Senior Services Veterans Outreach. We were told that a realtor named Chad Schernikau had offered to help veterans. As a Korean War veteran who was new to Georgia I jumped at the chance to touch base with an experienced realtor. Chad's knowledge and skills amazed me. Within hours of our first contact I was in touch with someone who had all of the information that I needed to apply for a VA mortgage. Within days we learned that we were qualified for a VA mortgage. Within weeks Chad had the whole package put together and we are now living in our own home, no longer paying rent. We are truly amazed at Chad's skill at his profession. Five stars hardly describes his abilities.

Chad Schernikau with Total Atlanta Group at Keller Williams Cityside is amazing. He helped make my family's relocation from Alabama to Georgia go by flawlessly. His ability to listen to our needs made the home buying process smooth and enjoyable. His constant communication and follow up during this very busy time for our family was very much appreciated. He negotiated a better price and helped us get the repairs we wanted taken care of by the seller. If you want an agent that works for you, is professional, and has integrity Chad S. is the go to guy.

What an awesome experience working with Chad from the Total Atlanta Group. Always professional, proactive, and helpful right from the initial contact to the closing of the property. Could not have asked for a better realtor to partner for the purchase of my property. I highly recommend Chad to anyone who is considering buying/selling property in and around Atlanta.

Chad Schernikau made the home buying and selling process so easy and enjoyable. He did not stop until we found a house that we absolutely loved and used his contacts to sell our other house before it went on the market! Using a realtor with years experience makes a huge difference in this market. Chad was wonderful to work with and we happily recommend him to everyone we know who's getting ready to buy/sell.

Chad Schernikau has assisted my family in 4 residential transactions in the past 10 years. Each transaction has closed smoothly. Our most recent sale occurred in record time ... multiple offers on our listing in just 2 days! We highly recommend Chad as a superior Realtor in the metro Atlanta, and especially Cobb County, area.

Chad is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with. I have purchased several homes over the years but I have never had such good experience with anyone else. He is extremely patient and is willing to solve any issues that may arise. It was no question in my mind to use Chad again when it came time to sell my home which he did in 3 days and we got more than our asking price! Well done Chad!!!

Chad is a great listener and was able to assist in connecting me with the best loan officer for my situation. I recommend Chad to anyone thinking of buying a home (now or in the future). He will be there waiting for you.

Chad was great to work with! I wanted a higher listing price than he thought I should go with, we met in the middle. My house sold for just under what he told me to start with! He is more than knowledgable, always helpful with answering questions, up front and professional. I have used him before, and I’d use him again and again!

Had a great experience working with Total Atlanta Group at Keller Williams. Chad made the process extremely smooth and did an exceptional job following up! I almost stepped away from the bargaining table but it was Chad’s consistency that kept me around and we got the deal done and saved me thousands of dollars along the way! Would happily work with him again!

Probably the best realtor in town. I wanted a house; he found me a home and became a friend—a highly experienced and friendly realtor.

Chad has assisted me in the purchase of several properties over the years. He is a top notch professional who keeps commitments, communicates well, and makes the selling/buying process painless. I highly recommend Chad as your realtor.

Chad was fantastic to work with. He went above and beyond to make himself available, answered any questions we had, and patiently allowed us to go through the home buying process. And more importantly he is just a really good person, which makes him easy to work with and trust. Don't hesitate to use his services!

Chad is an excellent realtor. He communicated with us every step of the way as we bought a home in the Atlanta area. He met with us on time and came prepared to show the houses on our list as well as other comparable homes. We were coming from out of town and appreciated that Chad made great use of our time while looking at houses. He negotiated well on our behalf and helped us understand the current Atlanta market. Chad was very quick to pass on information and paperwork we needed to sign and he always followed up with email and phone calls. I highly recommend Chad Schernikau to anyone planning to buy or sell a home in the Atlanta area and will work with him again if we ever sell our home. Update: 5 years later, and Chad once again guided us through a crazy real estate market with timely advice! This time he helped us sell our house as we moved out of Atlanta. I will recommend Chad and his team to anyone I know moving to Atlanta. Thanks again Chad!

Chad Schernikau is excellent. He works efficiently, talks fast and works hard for his clients. He introduced himself stating that he doesn't think of working with me as a job, it's his profession. Chad and his team proved that every step of the way from putting my condo up for sale all the way to closing. Chad has a great personality and is a pleasure to work with. If you have a home to sell in the Atlanta area, I can't think of anybody better. I highly recommended giving Chad a call.

We used Chad to purchase a new home and to sell our old house. He was very helpful in the buying process, helping us understand different ways to structure our offers so that they would be more appealing to sellers. As sellers, he gave us clear things we could do to our house to increase the homes value!

Chad has been amazing to work with- he knows the Symrna area like back of his hand! Always picks up his phone and communicates efficiently. He is honest and trustworthy! Totally recommend him

I personally cannot recommend Chad enough! I decided to buy my first home amid one of the wort times for buyers and Chad was able to put me in my dream home in less than two months from start of search to move in. Despite my budget being microscopic,Chad was relentless in his pursuit of putting me in a home where I felt safe and could grow equity. Chad is knowledgeable about the market and patient while I tried to wrap my head around the entire process.

Chad worked hard to help us find a place and assisted us with finding quicker financing to keep the process moving. He was great to work with!

Chad Schernikau and his team are extremely professional and efficient at navigating this fast changing market. He is direct and he is a man of his word.

We recently bought our second home with Chad and it was another great experience. His unparalleled knowledge of industry and personable demeanor made what can sometimes be a frustrating process very pleasant. Thanks again Chad for helping us with a major investment and I look forward to working together again in future. Looking for real estate? Chads the man.

Was cross country when the house was being sold, so Chad was my eyes and ears during the entire thing. EXCELLENT communication, and very detail oriented. Thank you Chad and team, wish you could be my realtor in Massachusetts!

Working with Chad was an amazing experience. This is the 4th time we have used his services, and just when you think it can’t get better than that, Chad finds away to make you happier than before. Honesty, business orientation and with an infinite focus on clients interests are some of the qualities you get by working with Chad.

Chad was amazing during our home search. We moved to Atlanta from Tampa, and he helped us understand the Georgia process for home buying and had unparalleled knowledge of the area we were looking in. More than that, Chad was timely in all responses, provided excellent support during the offer and closing process, and helped us anytime we had questions or concerns. We would highly recommend Chad Schernikau to any potential home buyers and we will definitely be utilizing his services again for future purchases.

Working with Chad was fun and easy. He really took my wants and needs into account to find me the perfect place! I would definitely recommend him to friends & family!! Update: I have now used Chad to purchase 2 homes and sell another. He is the type of realtor you keep coming back to because he makes the process so simple. He has been my #1 referral to family and friends over the years. Thank you Chad for all that you do!

I worked with another realtor for 2 years with no success. Then I met Chad when I did an inquiry for a home I liked online. A day later he called and that weekend we met. Chad was great we went out every weekend and he always said if you don't like it we can move on. He never made us feel like it was about getting a sell. He truly put our needs first. He was very profesional, knowledgeable, and flexible. We have been in our home for a few years now and he still calls and checks on us. If you are looking great realtor Chad is your guy.

There aren’t words to express how smooth and quick and stressLESS this process was because of Chad. Thank you and you will definitely be our go to and who we refer to anyone looking in the area. Thank you again! ETA: Chad also sold our first home and the original statement still stands!! It’s been great working with him and highly recommend his services!

Chad Schernikau is a supurb realtor! He truly defines and exudes professionalism, patience and attentiveness--working with my boyfriend and I on acquiring our first home for a couple of years. Keeping us aware of the market, making sound financial changes, and staying persistent afforded us our very 1st home that we absolutely LOVE! Chad has been there every step of the way---thanks Chad!

Chad was very helpful in selling a nice home. He is knowledgeable and easy to work with. Went the extra mile. Thanks so much Chad!

One thing I can say about Chad is he makes himself very available to you as the buyer. He is extremely responsive and keeps you up to date on everything occurring during the buying process. This is a difficult time to buy, and he made the process as easy as possible. You can tell he is very hardworking, and more than anything wants you to find a home that makes you happy. Great realtor!

I can not heap enough praise on our realtor Chad Schernikou ! He was beyond fantastic., he was our eyes and legs. We were from out of state, so he did a lot of house searching and Facetime with us. He was very knowledgeable and professional, he always had our best interest at heart. He guided us through the whole process, he helped us choice a mortgage company and homeowner insurance company. He took calls on the weekend, and during his vacation!! You will not find anyone better than Chad!!! I will most definitely recommend Chad to family and friends. Simply the best!!!

Working with Chad to sell our home could not have gone better...Chad has sold three homes for us total and if I sell again, I will without a doubt, go to Chad..If you want to sell or buy a home stress free then make Chad your go to realtor..I promise you will be pleased and get top line service. Chad is a friendly caring person who will listen to your needs.

Chad was excellent to work with. Super helpful, always quick to respond and eager to set up showings. Very personable, and easy to get along with. Has plenty of contacts within the industry to make sure the entire moving process goes smoothly. During the contract and negotiation phase, he made sure I was able to understand the qualifications/conditions/'fine print'/etc., so that I had a good understanding of the entire process. (Especially relevant as someone new to the home-buying experience in the USA) I never felt pressured into buying something I wasn't comfortable with, and I ended up with a great house that I'm really happy with as a result. 10/10 would recommend.

Chad went above and beyond during my home buying experience. Even helping with an appliance warranty issue. He was always readily available and stayed on top of every aspect of purchasing my home. In a market driven by sellers, he made what could have been a very stressful situation; feel the exact opposite. I would recommend Chad to anyone purchasing or selling their home.

Chad Schernikau is the Best! Would recommend him 100% He worked with us from the start and was always super responsive and would always stay in touch while we were working on buying our first home Thanks to him we were able to accomplish that in today’s market! Always prepared and very resourceful & looks out for your best interests. Excellent Realtor!!!

Chad is an excellent asset when buying a home. He helped us relocate from Ohio. He is extremely professional, but down to earth and realistic. Chad comes very prepared and is detail oriented. He ensures that you only make good buying decisions and has a calm demeanor. Service is middle name and he is great at it. Chad went above and beyond. And continues to do so even after we closed on our home. I highly recommend Chad for your real estate needs.

I was able to secured the house I wanted, in the neighborhood I wanted, for the price I wanted…thanks to my realtor, Chad! From the very first conversation, he focused on understanding exactly what I was looking for, and he immediately went to work finding properties that met my requirements. The real estate market is incredibly competitive for buyers right now, so I was bracing myself for a rocky home buying experience, but with Chad’s guidance and professionalism, I had no issues at all finding and securing my new home. I told Chad that I wanted to find a home in a specific sub-division. He sent me a link of a home that had just hit the market. The listing didn’t even have pictures on it yet, so Chad drove over to the home right away, was able to give me a video tour of the place. The house checked all of the boxes on my checklist, so Chad immediately went to work putting together a competitive (but reasonable) offer. Chad is adamant about the fact that he doesn’t want his clients paying more for a house than its worth, and he’s not a realtor who pushes you outside of your established budget. He really works hard to find you the best house for you. Chad’s communication skills are what set him apart! When he saw we were interested in a home, he immediately called the seller/agent and quickly established rapport with her. He found out exactly what type of offer she was looking to accept, and he crafted our offer accordingly. Chad even called my lender, and had my lender proactively call the seller/agent to provide even more motivation for the seller to select our offer. The seller ultimately chose us, even though she received multiple offers that were even higher than our offer. At our closing, the seller made it very clear that Chad’s professionalism and responsiveness was a key reason she decided to sell the house to us. He instilled confidence in her, and she wanted to work with him to get to the closing table. Chad knows the real estate business very well. He knows how to advocate for his buyers, and he knows how to instill confidence in sellers/agents. I am grateful that I had Chad on my team during this process, and I will gladly recommend him to any friends and family.
