Chad was fantastic!!! I had 8 showings on the first day which resulted in 2 offers. This is my 5th time using Chad and he was great to work with each time. - Mike McGraw

The world of real estate can be somewhat intimidating. However, I was very happy to work with Chad on this endeavor. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and trustworthy; three things I consider for an agent. I would highly recommend Chad to anyone who wants to sell their home. - Andy Wallach

Chad helped us sell our home and buy a new one. He was extremely proficient at communicating with us at each step during the sale of our home and the purchase of our new one. Our house was not the easiest to sell, and we were demanding buyers with high expectations, but Chad made it happen. We are thankful for Chad’s patience, professionalism, and guidance throughout the selling and buying process. Most importantly, Chad was a true advocate for us during very challenging negotiations. We would recommend him to our family and friends. - Glenn and Kelly Layfield

Chad helped me to buy a home. He was always available when I urgently needed him. I had a great experience with Chad. The purchase of my home was a complete roller coaster and very stressful, but he guided me and “Held my hand” through the ups and downs. I would and will recommend Chad to anyone I know needing real estate services - Cynthia Devine

Chad is an excellent agent. He went out of his way to sell our home quickly. During the time we were looking for a new home, Chad was always available and he is the reason we found our dream home. He helped us get through the many disappointments we found during our home search. I would recommend Chad to anyone I know. - James and Janice Perry

We found Chad as a referral from a co-worker. I was very pleased with our experience of selling our house. It sold fast and with little effort from us. We loved how much Chad kept us “In the loop.” His communication is the best. I would recommend Chad to anyone buying or selling. - Jason McWilliams and Quynh Nguyen

Chad is a highly organized and a professional Realtor, and it showed in his team’s prompt and efficient attention to detail and service to me. In addition to Chad, I worked with his assistant, Michelle. All met my expectations for professionalism, responsibility and efficiency when it came to selling my home. Chad made it very clear from the start that their mission was to make sure they were able to sell my home and work for my interests. There is no doubt in my mind that I would seek Chad and his team at Total Atlanta Realty for any services in the future. I would recommend Chad to anyone I know. - Peter Mezei

The level of professionalism and customer service was bar none. Chad worked with us with scheduling and times. We were able to find a property we like in a very short time frame. Sooner than we expected. - Elbert Clairmont

Having purchased my home just before the market crash in 2005, I knew I would be in a difficult position when it came time to sell my home. Chad was recommended to me as a person who could get the job done. He came through, even through obstacles when things seemed difficult, for instance our original purchaser backing out of the contract at the last minute. Later, my house became a short sale. It was a difficult time, and yet another contract fell through on my home. Throughout the process, Chad never lost hope and we were fortunate to get another buyer who stayed the course until closing. Chad was very accommodating and experienced in handling these kinds of issues. I highly recommend Chad Schernikau to anyone wishing to buy or sell a home. - Daniel Maner

Chad was very easy to talk with. He explained the process thoroughly and his suggestions were taken. - Antwane Nelson and Margaret Lawley

After speaking with many agents I chose Chad because he clearly articulated the work effort he and his team would put in to selling my house. The other agents wanted to show me their fancy presentations but when I asked what work they were going to do they had no answer. Chad told me about his preemptive communication, email campaign, follow up and communication. And more than telling me about it, he did it. Chad exceed my expectations, and my expectations were high. I highly recommend Chad as a professional with high integrity, who does what he says he will do, without fail and as someone who knows how to get results. Chad has my phone number, and I am happy to speak to anyone directly about my experience with Chad. In closing when I asked Chad to get me an agent for my next house purchase (out of Chad’s area), I requested he got someone just like himself. - David Fenton

Working with Chad Schernikau and Total Atlanta Realty absolutely exceeded my expectations. They made a short sale process as easy and stress free as it could possibly be. Chad and the firm handled everything and requested information from me only as needed. Chad is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate business but he is extremely personable and explains the process every step of the way so you understand. His energy and can-do attitude is relentless and his commitment to his clients is extraordinary. He is always available for questions or pep talks when needed during a stressful sale process. I put my complete trust in him during this process and never doubted his ability to close this deal. He advocates for his clients and consistently goes the extra mile to make sure everything is on track. By the end of the deal, Chad is a friend. At closing, the firm was ready with everything. It was almost too easy to believe. I can’t say enough good things about Chad Schernikau and Total Atlanta Realty. Without a doubt, I will be reaching out to them when I need real estate assistance in the future. - Debbie Geisel

I relocated from Atlanta for employment reasons. We rented our home out for a number of years and every year wondered if this would be the year we could sell the home without taking a major loss (we bought at the peak of the market in 2007). Chad had seen that I had listed our house FSBO on Zillow a few years ago and reached out to see if he could be of service in helping me with the sale. At the time, we were underwater to the point that selling would be difficult. The other agents wanted to show me their fancy presentations but when I asked what work they were going to do they had no answer. Chad told me about his preemptive communication, email campaign, follow up and communication. And more than telling me about it, he did it. Chad exceed my expectations, and my expectations were high. I highly recommend Chad as a professional with high integrity, who does what he says he will do, without fail and as someone who knows how to get results. Chad has my phone number, and I am happy to speak to anyone directly about my experience with Chad. In closing when I asked Chad to get me an agent for my next house purchase (out of Chad’s area), I requested he got someone just like himself. - Marty and Kerri Fuzia

Assisting an older adult with the downsizing and purchase of a new home has many challenges. Chad was understanding of the anxieties involved in this process, was supportive without being overwhelming and knowledgeable in not only his Real Estate expertise, but in his ability to relate to and deal with people. - Patricia McGrath
