Buying or selling a home in Minnesota is a significant decision, especially in competitive markets like Northfield, Burnsville, and communities throughout the Twin Cities, Dakota County, and Rice County. With changing interest rates and shifting inventory, having experienced guidance and a clear plan matters more than ever. At CMS Home Group, our results, structure, and collaborative team approach are what truly set us apart.

One of the strongest reflections of our commitment to clients across the Twin Cities metro and Southern Minnesota is the more than 200 five-star reviews earned by the CMS Home Group. These reviews represent real families who felt supported, informed, and confident throughout the process. Whether someone is buying in Burnsville, relocating to Northfield, or selling in Dakota or Rice County, our focus remains the same — clear communication, honest guidance, and consistent follow-through from an entire team working on their behalf.

At CMS, we intentionally operate as a structured real estate team. Instead of one agent managing every detail alone, our clients benefit from specialized roles, shared expertise, and built-in support at every stage of the transaction. This team model allows us to provide stronger communication, faster response times, and a more organized experience from consultation to closing.

Chad Skluzacek, Founder and CEO, leads the team with decades of experience in real estate, sales, and construction knowledge. His background allows us to strategically evaluate property value, pricing, and negotiation from both a market and structural perspective. Chad focuses heavily on listing strategy, pricing analysis, and high-level negotiations, helping sellers throughout the Twin Cities and surrounding communities position their homes effectively while guiding buyers in making confident long-term decisions.

Ryan Reker serves as the Buyer Specialist for CMS Home Group. After earning his real estate license in 2013, Ryan has helped numerous buyers throughout Northfield, Burnsville, Dakota County, Rice County, and the greater Twin Cities area navigate one of the most important purchases of their lives. In addition to helping clients find their personal homes, Ryan brings experience in residential investment properties, property management, and short-term vacation rentals. His background provides valuable insight for buyers considering long-term value, rental potential, or future resale opportunities.

Supporting both Chad and Ryan is our operations and client care team, who ensure every transaction stays organized and on schedule. From contract to close, inspections to final walkthrough, our team coordinates timelines, communicates updates, and keeps details from being overlooked. Clients know who to contact, what the next step is, and what to expect throughout the entire process.

Being a top real estate team in Minnesota is not just about sales numbers. It is about how clients feel during the process and long after closing. Our mission is to deliver a five-star experience while building relationships that last for years. That means transparency, integrity, and guidance tailored to each individual market — from suburban communities like Burnsville to growing areas like Northfield and beyond.

Minnesota’s real estate market continues to evolve, and having a collaborative team with diverse expertise makes a meaningful difference. While we proudly serve communities throughout the Twin Cities, our guidance does not stop there. Wherever your move may take you — across town or across the country— CMS Home Group is here to provide a clear plan and steady support every step of the way.

If you are thinking about buying or selling, whether in the Twin Cities area or beyond, we would be honored to help guide you through the process with clarity and confidence.
