At the core of Atlanta Turtle Group, there are 5 equal Partners, unlike most real estate teams which usually have only one. We are structured more like a professional medical or legal practice with different specialties. This ensures you will always have the best possible experience when working with us. Each of us has 20+ years of experience and unique skills to best serve our clients.

Chuck Smith and Jayson Janowski have been working together for many years, primarily in the “Golden Triangle”, that area from the City of Decatur, fanning out towards Northlake, that includes the City of Decatur / Fernbank / Laurel Ridge / Sagamore Hills / Oak Grove / Briarlake communities. Communities with strong schools, swim/tennis facilities, and neighborhoods, where neighbors help neighbors. Chuck and Jayson work closely together and often interchangeably, to leverage their expertise to help their clients.
