About Chris Arnt

Chris Arnt grew up in a Real estate-centered household. From an early age, he learned what created value and what detracted from it. He often had summer jobs helping out people in the industry one way or another. Sometimes it was maintaining vacant properties, and sometimes it was doing minor repair work to help sellers get the top price. At Ridgewood High School, Chris played football, ran for the track team, and was awarded a Varsity Letter for collegiate wrestling. Chris earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature at The State University of New York at Buffalo. While in Buffalo, Chris was a member of the Campus Safety Task Force, which provided late-night security for students in need.

Chris was also a crewmember on the J-22 racing sailboat, Free Energy, for four years, competing in the Levels Regatta in Cleveland 2 years in a row. Chris was also a proud member of the UB Rugby Team. After graduating from SUNY Buffalo with a degree in English Literature in 1999, Chris moved to the East Bay Area in California, where he worked in sales and freelance advertising while restoring and brokering antique cars from the '60s and '70s. There he met Rachel Schemmel, his soon-to-be wife, who currently teaches eighth-grade English at George Washington Middle School in Ridgewood. Chris received his New Jersey Real Estate license in 2002 and sold 2.9 million in his very first year.

Chris Still enjoys sailing and restoring antique cars, but his latest passion is restoring his turn-of-the-century Victorian home, where he and his wife currently live. Having done a lot of hands-on work in both this home and his prior home, Chris is very knowledgeable when it comes to home maintenance, repair, decorating, and landscaping. He is always happy to help a seller or buyer with good advice or by referring a quality contractor.
