"Thanks so much Eric and Sharla for all your help and friendship both for when we moved to MN and now that we are moving out and for all the years in between.

"Dealing with Eric, Sharla and Jane is always a pleasure. While selling a home can be stressful, they were able to alleviate most of that by how they go about their work. They are have the best interests of their client in mind in all they do. Their approach to selling is great--they are honest on what your home is worth, changes you should make prior to selling...and most importantly, I believe, they tell you what you 'need to hear' not 'want to hear'. I value that immensely in a realtor relationship. They are extremely responsive in the process and their networking across the industry with other realtors as well as subs as needed is outstanding. I highly recommend The Stafford team. You will NOT be disappointed." "Dealing with Eric, Sharla and Jane is always a pleasure.

Matt Beatty

"From the moment I shook hands with Eric I knew we were in good hands. A family man who dearly loves his wife and kids and wants to ensure his clients find exactly what they are looking for. You are not hiring someone to handle your real-estate transaction, you are joining a family of happy customers who meet every year while meeting Santa and having cookies and hot chocolate raving about the same family who helped them find a home. Buying a home can be a difficult experience. Their knowledge, compassion, patience and perseverance is unmatched and unwavering. This is not a transaction for them, it's a chance to make families happy, you won't find another rating for them other than 5 stars for a very good reason, they care immensely about your journey and your family and where you choose to make that be. The guidance on the communities both good and bad as well as a wealth of knowledge since he has lived in the area for so long himself as well has his network of wonderful friends puts him at the top. If you're looking at reviews to make your decision, I think it was already made before you read mine. Good luck on your journey as you search for your home. I fully, 100%, Unequivocally give my recommendation to Stafford Family Realtors." "From the moment I shook hands with Eric I knew we were in good hands.

"Meeting Eric at a newly listed property turned out to be a stroke of luck for us. He was super knowledge and patient. From our first encounter to the final purchase, Eric was incredibly welcoming, communicative, and patient, truly being all about making sure we understood every bit of the process. He took the time to explain every step of the process, making a daunting decision feel manageable. We must've asked a million questions, but he never once made us feel like we were a bother. Working with him and Jane made our home buying experience a breeze. AND even continue to periodically check up on us and how we are acclimating to the new home."

""Mary is our delightful realtor who was ready and on the spot to help another friend find a house. We happened to be with on the tour when we found this house in MN. Mary guided us through the regular process of making an offer with the negotiations and all the rest of the paperwork. Always happy to help whenever and whatever needs to be done. She was so much fun we referred her to our friends when they were looking to downsize and move closer to us. Now we share the Mary experience. Mary remembers us every year with a Christmas wreath.

"We've worked with Eric and Sharla twice now - with the purchase of our first home in 2017, and with buying into new construction and selling our first home in 2022. They are professional, reliable, and an excellent resource to have throughout the process. They always provided helpful guidance as to how to navigate the current market as a buyer or seller. The advice they gave us when selling our home was especially valuable. Even when we had surprise water damage just a few weeks before listing, they were able to quickly connect us with contractors and help us mitigate concerns for potential buyers. We couldn't be happier with the outcome, and would recommend their team to anyone looking for a realtor!"

"Eric and Sharla are simply top notch! We talked to several realtors in the area before deciding on the Stafford’s team, and could not have been happier. We were moving out of state, and needed to sell our house remotely. Eric, Sharla and Jane were amazing in helping us prep for the photos, and handling the whole process with utmost professionalism, from marketing, to communication and care they’ve put into our listing. The results speak for themselves - our house sold over list in just 3 days on the market with multiple offers. We happily closed on the house in a record under 3 weeks.

Ian & Aly McCann

"We worked with Sharla to find/buy a home in the Twin Cities metro area in the spring of 2020. We were moving back after being out of state for nine years. Previously we had lived in the SE metro area, but due to a new work commute, we were now looking at NW and SW areas. It was especially important to us that we find someone who was familiar with these areas, as well as someone who was professional, smart, responsive, and had a sense of humor. Sharla completely met our requirements. I found her online by looking at reviews and by looking at houses she had helped buy or sell in recent years. She responded quickly to my first inquiry and I felt immediately that it would be a good match. Sharla is very accommodating and friendly. She quickly got what we were looking for from the start. We were also impressed with her business skills, so she was good at finding the house we wanted but was also great at completing the business side of the transaction. We are not easy clients as I have a hard time making big decisions like this and my husband and I prioritize different aspects of a home/lot, but Sharla was very patient. Since we were out of state and could only come on certain weekends, she was more than willing to go preview homes and facetime us as she walked through. She also did this when only my husband or I were with her and we wanted the other spouse to also see a house. She also worked hard to find homes not yet listed or coming soon to make sure we had as many options as possible. Sharla also cared about us as a family and not just finding us a house. We closed on our house in August 2020, but she has kept in contact with us to answer any questions we might have about the house or our new area. We would highly recommend using Sharla to help buy or sell your next house, she is a great Real Estate agent and an even better person."

"Eric and Sharla just helped us sell our home (which we bought with them 7 years ago) and buy our new one. The whole process was unbelievably smooth even in this insane market. When we started they gave us a few quick fixes to make on our home to help us sell better. Many questioned why we’d put any money into our current home when it’s a seller's market but the Staffords are the experts and I am so glad we listened. After one day on market, 6 offers later at 10% over the asking price we had sold our home all thanks to Sharla and Eric. Eric did some behind-the-scenes negotiating and got us the best combination of all the offers into one great offer. Then comes the buying, which is supposed to be terrifying right now, right. Not with them. I gave them my insanely long super picky list of what I wanted in a home and Sharla was able to send me house options before they came upon regular sites as coming soon. She’s honest- which I love because she saved me from buying a house that definitely would have been a mistake. The Stafford’s treated us like family and made sure to keep us out of any sticky situations. They were patient with all my indecisiveness and were available for any and all questions. When I found the house I knew was perfect for us, they helped us come up with a great and reasonable offer (it’s easy to spiral with crazy ideas in such a seller's market). We got the house and feel so incredibly blessed to have had such a smooth transition with Eric and Sharla by our side. I learned that when making such a large investment you definitely need to have the absolute best Realtors® looking out for you. They are so knowledgeable about all aspects of buying and selling. I’ll never use anyone else." "Eric and Sharla just helped us sell our home (which we bought with them 7 years ago) and buy our new one.

"Selling a house can be stressful. However, it doesn’t have to be and can be minimized by selecting the right Realtor®. We went with the Stafford’s as we felt they brought the experience and knowledge necessary to sell our home quickly and at top dollar. From the initial consultation to final closing they were organized, thorough, and always had our interest in mind. Initial consultation provided us with a complete analysis and strategy as to how to sell our home quickly at the price we were excited about. Photos and showing, Sharla gave us some great recommendations on how to make our home show amazingly and stand above the competition. Showings, we had several open houses and private showings and ultimately sold our home in just 5 days keeping the disruption to life a minimum. In negotiation, Eric has tremendous knowledge when it comes to market value. He worked closely with the buyer's agent to sell our home and get top dollar. Closing, We did a remote close and the process went very smooth. I would highly recommend the Stafford’s to be your Realtor®." "Selling a house can be stressful.

"We only have great things to say about our experience with Eric and Sharla in the sale of our home. Several months before the house went on the market, we sat down with Eric and Sharla to discuss the process and learn what we needed to do before listing. Over the next couple of months, we worked with them to prep the house. They were able to offer high-quality service providers referrals where needed and help us with decisions that could impact the sale of the home (fixture styles, color choices, etc). With our move taking us to Colorado, they even connected us with a top-performing Realtor® in Colorado which was greatly appreciated. Their team went above and beyond in working with us as we were out of town for several weeks just prior to listing. The staging, marketing, listing, and contract signing all had such complete attention to detail. In the end, our house quickly sold with multiple offers and the sale price was beyond our wildest expectations. Thank you, Eric and Sharla."

"It’s no wonder that Eric and Sharla get such great reviews and are so successful. They provided realistic, timely, sage counsel at every step in our sales process, from the early days when we were just thinking about selling to the day of closing. We appreciated their help to prepare our home, especially guiding us on the investments that were critical to improve the presentation. They carefully considered our goals when advising us on the offer price, which turned out to be prescient as we got exactly what we dreamed of – a quick sale with multiple offers. Their teammate Jane was incredibly respectful and efficient, and made all the administrative tasks so easy and smooth. Finally, their exceptional professionalism really stood out. We were impressed by their presentation of the offers, the way in which they navigated us through trickier decisions, and their kindness and good humor through it all."

"Buying a property may be one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do. But the Stafford’s mitigate that stress by their knowledge, honesty, and their clear passion and joy for what they do. They always show up with a smile, communicate and listen, quickly respond to texts and emails, and just make the overall process so much more enjoyable. They went out of their way often. Their years of experience, having seen just about every situation, made it so easy for my wife and I to just relax and look at the properties we were interested in, and let them do the rest because we knew they would be thorough and honest, with OUR best interest as their top priority. They sold my house 12 years ago, and I went back when I was ready to buy again!" "Buying a property may be one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the valuation of my home calculated?

The value of your home is calculated using a combination of factors including its location, age, size, condition, any improvements or renovations made, and recent sale prices of comparable homes in the neighborhood. We also factor in current market trends and local market conditions.

 

How accurate is the online home valuation?
Online home valuations provide a good starting point and offer a general estimate of your property’s worth. However, they may not factor in recent renovations, unique features, or current market trends that could impact your home’s actual market value. For the most accurate assessment, consider scheduling an in-person appraisal.

 

How often should I get my home evaluated?
Generally, a home should be evaluated any time you’re thinking about selling, refinancing, or taking out a home equity line of credit. However, if the market is experiencing significant changes or if you’ve made major improvements to your home, getting a more frequent evaluation could be beneficial.

 

Will renovations increase the value of my home?

Yes, typically renovations can increase the value of your home. However, not all renovations provide the same return on investment. Some projects, such as kitchen or bathroom renovations, may yield a higher return than others. It’s important to evaluate the potential increase in home value against the cost of any proposed renovations.
