Sharla Stafford

Eric and Sharla met at IBM Learning Services in 1995, and they’ve been working together ever since. After relocating to Scottsdale, AZ, then to Chicago, IL, they eventually returned to Minnesota, where they started their family. Following 17 successful years in corporate America, the demands of business travel gave way to the joys of family life, and in 2004, Eric and Sharla launched Stafford Family Realtors®.

They quickly became a trusted team, known for their integrity and commitment to excellence, and are recognized annually as one of the top teams at Coldwell Banker.

Eric and Sharla offer concierge-level real estate services throughout the Twin Cities, specializing in the Lake Minnetonka and West Metro communities. Their approach is rooted in careful listening, in-depth market knowledge, and a client-first philosophy—delivering proven results for their clients.

As members of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, they provide world-class marketing solutions to their clients. They meet weekly with the Global Luxury team to successfully source and sell properties for their clients.

Relationships are what Eric and Sharla value most. They work in close partnership with their clients throughout the transaction, and their relationships extend beyond the closing. Eric and Sharla become indispensable resources for everything from handymen to pediatricians, offering guidance on remodeling projects and even daycare options. Their annual client events have become cherished family traditions.

Home means many things to different people. Home is where your day begins and ends. It’s where you make memories that last a lifetime. And for most people, home is one of the largest investments you own. If you’re considering a move, partner with Eric and Sharla—they promise to protect your investment, and treat your family, as if it’s their own.
