What Our Clients Say

"Sharla and Eric are great to work with. Their experience in the local Chanhassen and Excelsior area is unparalleled. We were in Chanhassen for 18 years and forgot everything about selling a home. The Staffords did a great job, and were extremely patient with us through the entire process. Their knowledge of the local area is fantastic and the marketing material they custom developed for us was excellent. I highly recommend them and we will definitely leverage their services in the future." "Sharla and Eric are great to work with.

Jeff Wagaman

"We reached out to Eric and Sharla because our neighbors used them a few years ago and had nothing but positive things to say about their experience. Working with Eric and Sharla was in a word, seamless. They are so easy to work with, they really listened and in the end my wife and I felt like we had true partners in selling our home. They literally handled everything. Their out of the box thinking on how to market our property was amazing. Their communication was exceptional and their creativity and vast network allowed our house to sell before it ever hit the MLS. I would recommend Eric and Sharla Stafford to anyone without hesitation."

Dan Sherred

"We had a great experience working with the Stafford's for 5 years while trying to find our dream home. Whenever a new home came on the market that we were interested in, they made sure we saw it during a time that fit our schedule. When we finally found the home of our dreams, they did a fantastic job negotiating, closing the deal at a price we were comfortable with. Not only did they secure the home of our dreams, they were able to sell our current home within 24 hours above asking price. We will be forever grateful to the Stafford's. Highly recommended."

"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.

"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 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!

"You all were a joy to work with! Your upbeat friendly attention to detail, accessibility, resources and can do attitude made selling a house as smooth as it possibly could be! We are so grateful to have worked with you and your team! Thank you so much! - Sarah I run a business helping affluent families navigate the burdens of having money. It’s an odd space that most of us will never experience. Our service model is by far the gold standard in the industry for timely responses ,exceeding expectations, and execution. I have only sold a handful of properties in my lifetime and the last one was 30 years ago. From the inception of our relationship, you have executed at the highest level and these emails from Jane is a furtherment of that experience. You have answered all our question in a timely and thorough manner and set the highest of expectation for us and met/exceeded them at every turn. It's very impressive and please know it isn’t going unnoticed from our end. Thank you for doing your job at this level as we really appreciate it! - Mark " "You all were a joy to work with!

"Sharla and Eric have helped me buy and sell two houses. It’s hard to summarize in this small space how thrilled I continue to be with the level of service they provide. The first house they helped me sell was the first I’d done so on my own. They patiently, but not condescendingly, explained every step of the process, gave me great advice on what updates to make to increase the value and which weren’t worth the money, provided wonderful referrals to local companies to do those updates, explained weird realty terms and rules, scraped me off the ceiling a few times at the expected stress points, advertised the daylights of out the place, and kept me up to date every step of the way. So, when it was time to sell again, I called them immediately. It was the same thing this time around. They are great examples of realtors who make you feel like you’re working with friends in the business who have your best interests at heart. I’m so thankful for them!"

"When I purchased my home, I chose to work with Sharla and Eric Stafford because of their incredible knowledge of the area, their strong connections, their reputation and the integrity they demonstrate in how they do business. As a single mom with college age kids, I wanted something that suited my lifestyle (move-in ready, one level living, open and bright) but also offered enough space so my kids had their own rooms & felt great coming home over breaks. One of the first homes Sharla showed me checked all the boxes. She truly listened to my "wish list" and delivered. We looked at a few others but none felt quite as right as that one. The Staffords were able to negotiate with the sellers to reach a favorable deal for both sides. The entire process was efficient, communication with the Staffords and their team was great, and it resulted in me owning a home I love. I highly recommend working with Sharla and Eric Stafford for buying or selling a home."

"Can’t do better than Eric and Sharla! If our 5 star rating doesn’t say it, maybe having them sell and buy two and a half homes for us will! (The other half was out of state - and even then, they helped us find a realtor that would be a good fit - they really take care of you!!) Eric and Sharla are a great team and are on point with what to do effectively present your home as you prepare for a sale, making the most of your property, pricing it right and getting the word out! Support from Jane was wonderful on both sides of each move. Moving is hard enough - it is so much better when you have a great partner like Stafford Family Realtors. Thank you Eric and Sharla!"

"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.

"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.

The advice they gave us when selling our home was especially valuable.

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.
