Erik Stanford

SOUTH & CENTRAL SEATTLE SPECIALIST
As a Southeast Seattle native and full-time real estate broker, I specialize in the vibrant, diverse communities of Beacon Hill, Columbia City, Mount Baker, Lakewood, Seward Park, Leschi, Madrona, the Central District, Rainier Valley, Renton, and West Seattle. While my focus is here, I proudly serve clients across the Seattle metro—always delivering the same high standard of care, no matter the ZIP code.

EXPERIENCE COUNTS: REPRESENTING YOU
With over 24 years in real estate and a professional background in teaching and customer service, I offer a client experience grounded in clarity, patience, and results. My deep knowledge of Seattle’s neighborhoods—combined with expertise in tech, marketing, and negotiation—means I tailor every strategy to meet your unique goals. As a Windermere broker, I’m backed by a powerful network and cutting-edge tools that help maximize opportunity. Whether you’re buying your first home or selling a beloved one, I guide the process with empathy, skill, and care. Think of me as your trusted pilot—calm in turbulence, confident in clear skies, and always focused on helping you land smoothly.

CERTIFIED NEGOTIATION EXPERT
Only 1% of brokers nationwide hold the Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) designation—and I’m proud to be among them. With two decades of experience at the bargaining table, I help clients sidestep contract pitfalls, strengthen their position, and close with confidence. I approach negotiation with respect, diligence, and a results-first mindset—always focused on achieving the best possible outcome for you.

COMMUNICATION, ACCOUNTABILITY, PEACE OF MIND
Real estate is about trust, timing, and human connection. I listen closely, communicate clearly, and follow through—every time. Clients value my ability to stay calm under pressure, solve problems before they escalate, and keep them informed from start to finish. My word is my bond, and my commitment is this: to support you with care, transparency, and a strong sense of purpose—before, during, and after closing.
