    About Eric Stafford

They are well positioned to guide their clients through today's changing real estate market. They offer superior market insight, innovative marketing, and exceptional customer service, resulting in consistent, award-winning success. Eric and Sharla love the business of Real Estate - all the joys and challenges it brings - and especially, the clients they have the opportunity to serve. Their commitment to work for their client's best interests has been well rewarded by the Real Estate Industry. Since 2007, they have consistently been ranked in the top 1% of Realtors in the nation and in the top 25 Realtors at Coldwell Banker Burnet. They have been voted by their clients and peers as Mpls./St. Paul Magazine Super Real Estate Agents since 2007 - an award given to less than 3% of Agents in Minnesota, awarded for exceptional ability and service. Exceptional service isn't just their motto - it's the very foundation of their business and key to their success. In all they do, they follow the Biblical mandate: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as if working for the Lord, not for men." From first-time home buyers to high-level Executives, the team's client base is as diverse as the properties they represent. Although they sell homes across the Twin Cities Metro, they specialize in the Lake Minnetonka communities and the Southwest Suburbs. Whether buying or selling a home, we promise to protect your investment - and treat your family - as if it's our own. Buying a Home: Buying a home may be one of the most significant investments you make in your life. When working with Stafford Family Realtors, you can be confident they will always act with your best interests in mind. As members of Coldwell Banker Burnet's prestigious Distinctive Homes Division, they network and locate "quiet listings" that are not yet listed on the MLS.

Selling a Home: Stafford Family Realtors make a significant investment in the properties they sell. Before putting a home on the market, they work with their sellers to optimize the presentation of their home and professionally stage it for market. They identify the target market, develop a strategic marketing plan and carefully assess market value. They hire professional photographers to photograph each home and create high-quality, customized marketing materials. Once listed, they offer a comprehensive mix of premium print and web-based advertising venues as well as feedback on every showing. They keep you up-to-date on changing market conditions so you are never in the dark.

    Eric and Sharla were awesome! They gave clear guidance, expert analysis, and excellent communication through the entire home sale process. We depended upon their knowledge of the market, pricing, and negotiations, and we came through the process very happy. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home.

    We had a great experience selling our home with Stafford Family Realtors. Sharla and Eric are professional, honest, and always kept us in the loop. The process was smooth from start to finish, and we always felt like they had our best interest in mind. This was our second experience working with Sharla, who previously helped us purchase our home. Sharla and Eric know the SW Metro market and are well-connected in local real estate circles. Their marketing approach was fantastic. From professional drone photos to high-quality interior photos, they made sure our home was presented at its absolute best. As a result, we received multiple offers and sold over the asking price. We highly recommend Sharla, Eric, and their entire team to anyone buying or selling in the area.

    We have had the pleasure of working with Eric, Sharla, and their team several times-both in the home buying and home selling process. Our experiences were so great that we turned to them for help when our kids became first time home buyers as well. Their thoughtful care, integrity, professional insights, and network of service experts all contributed to our overwhelmingly positive experiences! We learned that they provide everyone with the same quality service and care, regardless of budget, which speaks volumes about their character. They are trusted professionals, who also quickly became friends! We cannot recommend them enough!

    We loved working with Eric and Sharla! We had some very specific criteria for our downsizing in regard to location and home type. Eric and Sharla were provided patient, low pressure support while we looked for the perfect home, while being quick and responsive for questions and home showings. Their advice and behind-the-scenes work were key to us finding a great home that we love, negotiating a good purchase price, and closing the deal. They also provided excellent suggestions for preparing our existing home for sale, with recommendations for fixes/improvements aimed at increasing appeal to buyers and maximizing value, rather than just following trends. The photos and sale brochures they produced for us were excellent, and the pricing strategy they recommended resulted in multiple offers in a difficult market. Thanks! Throughout the whole process, we worked directly with Eric & Sharla, along with their office manager Jane. Everyone was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and supportive. Fabulous agents! Highly recommended!
