Emily Stanford | Dallas Realtor®

You deserve an amazing home buying or selling experience

I’m passionate about making real estate easy and fun. With 20 years of marketing and an insiders knowledge of how the mortgage and real estate industry works, you can rest easy knowing that I’m here to offer support and guidance every step of the way.

“Emily was an indispensable part of our home purchasing journey and we would not hesitate to provide our full throated recommendation to any home buyers looking for a representative that will provide them with a bespoke, seamless experience from start to finish. From the jump, she offered clear, cohesive communication on the process and alleviated the worries of first time home buyers through her continual, thorough updates and uncompromising dedication to finding and securing our dream home. The combination of her work ethic, best-in-industry contractors/vendors/lenders, and ability to do the dirty work behind the scenes while simultaneously keeping you informed made the whole experience painless such that we could focus on what a special moment in our lives we were stepping into. The less important as it relates to home purchasing, but still noteworthy, part is that she's a very cool person who isn't a bore to be around which makes the often grueling process a load of fun!”

About me

I’m Emily Stanford, a Compass Realtor® and part of The Curated Group.

As a resident of Dallas for 15 years, I’ve become an expert on what makes this city and its surrounding areas a great place to live. My genuine and outgoing personality (and admittedly, a little Type-A) means I’m a people person, goal-oriented, trustworthy, and creative thinker who’s not afraid to think outside the box. Did I mention I love a good to-do list?

I’m a UT Austin alum and before becoming a realtor, I was a marketing executive working in the mortgage and online real estate auction industry. I now use my insider’s knowledge of how the industry works to help home buyers and sellers reach their goals and simplify the journey to homeownership. My prior marketing, strategy, and advertising background also allows me to tell each property’s story in a way that resonates with the right audience to drive traffic and value.

Outside of work, you can find me reading (book nerd, alert!), playing golf, spending time with my furry best boy Charlie (our 80lb goofy dog), and going to concerts with my husband, Jason.
