I approach every transaction with the same care and attention to detail that I applied to major marketing projects. From positioning your home to reach the right buyers, to guiding you through the buying process with clarity and strategy, my goal is to make the experience smooth, successful, and as stress-free as possible - with a little fun along the way.
You deserve an amazing home buying or selling experience
Before helping people buy and sell homes, I spent 20 years leading large teams and managing million-dollar-plus projects in marketing and advertising. I also gained hands-on experience in the mortgage and online home auction world, which gave me a deep understanding of how the industry works from start to finish. When I pivoted into real estate, I brought all of that experience with me - negotiation skills, strategic thinking, and the ability to manage complex transactions - to make sure my clients feel informed, confident, and supported at every step.
“Emily was indispensable in our home buying journey. From the start, she communicated clearly, alleviated our first-time buyer worries, and handled all the behind-the-scenes details. She made what can be a stressful process seamless and even fun. Plus, she’s a genuinely cool person to be around!”

About me
I’m Emily Stanford, a Compass Realtor® with The Curated Group and a Dallas resident for over 15 years. I love this city, and I know what makes its neighborhoods and communities special.
A UT Austin alum, I spent years as a marketing executive in the mortgage and online real estate auction space. Today, I use that experience to simplify the home buying and selling process, help clients reach their goals, and tell each property’s story in a way that resonates with the right buyers.
I’m outgoing, goal-oriented, a little Type-A, and not afraid to think outside the box (bonus: I love a good to-do list). Outside of work, you’ll find me reading, playing golf, hanging with our 80lb dog Charlie, catching a concert with my husband Jason, or spending time with our newest little adventure, Rhodes (our baby boy).
Ready to find your next home or sell your current one? Let’s make it happen, together.
