Realtor w/ 20+ years of experience in buying, selling & investing in real estate.
Experienced w/ a variety of:
* Clients: Sellers, Buyers, Investors, Attorneys & Developers.

* Property Types: Single Family, Condo/Townhouse, Investment, Commercial and Development.

* Sales Types & Conditions: Standard Sales, Probates, Short Sales, Turn Keys, Fixers, Complete Remodels, and Development Projects. 

As a real estate investor myself, I have remodeled a number of properties. This has allowed me to help my clients by suggesting small, cost effective changes that put the property in the best light. I am also a designer & stager, which has allowed me to sell properties in just a few days for over asking. I treat every client’s property as if it were my own, so before I even show a property I spend considerable time there making sure everything is in the appropriate place & that the house will have the best first impression possible. 

I hold Master Degrees in both Business & Information Technology & come from an 18+ year career in Information Technology & Sales w/ several Fortune 500 companies, which has enabled me to leverage the many tools & technologies that are available to both buyers and sellers in today’s market. As a sales executive, I was responsible for multi-million dollar quotas and managing relationships w/ key customers & Federal/State agencies. Part of my responsibility included the creation, management & fulfillment of large sales contracts, w/ each contract having it’s own unique characteristics & challenges. This experience has served me well in my real estate career by enabling me to manage multiple parties, timelines and deliverables. Unfortunately many of these fundamentals elude many realtors today, which causes frustration & delays on both sides of the transaction. 

I have extensive experience & uniquely service both Los Angeles & the Coachella Valley which has allowed me to maximize market penetration & advertising channels.

Richard Stanley is a veteran real estate agent in the Los Feliz, Hollywood Hills, Silver Lake / Echo Park areas of Los Angeles.  He moved to this area in 1978 and has lived locally ever since.  After earning his real estate license in 1987, he joined the architectural and historic properties boutique, Mossler, Deasy and Doe, and worked mostly in his home neighborhoods.  Two years later, in 1989, he joined the premier real estate brokerage in Los Angeles, the Jon Douglas Company, at their Los Feliz office.  Coldwell Banker absorbed the Jon Douglas Company in the mid-1990s.  Despite the name change, Richard has been with the same office for 33 years. 

His first love in real estate is his home market’s rich legacy of first-rate residential and historic architecture, however, the same renown architects lent their talents to many local commercial projects as well.  Over the years, Richard has represented residential and commercial properties by historic architects such as Richard Neutra, Rudolf Schindler, Gregory Ain, Wallace Neff, Harwell Hamilton Harris, Elmer Gray, Sumner Spaulding and Lester Scherer, as well as contemporary architects such as Wes Jones and Tony Unruh.  Though most of his practice is of a residential nature, he regularly represents smaller office, light industrial and other commercial properties.  Over the past 35 years in the business, Richard was the top-producing residential agent in his office at least 20 times.   

Richard holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from Albright College, Reading, PA and a master’s degree in fine art, photography, from the Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY.  Prior to entering real estate he worked as a magazine editor, writer and photographer; as a voice-over talent agent at the then-largest commercial agency; as a legal assistant for a major Los Angeles law firm and for a large automobile dealership doing leasing, financing and sales.   

He has served on many local boards, including the Los Feliz Improvement Association, the Laughlin Park Association, the Friends of Griffith Park and the Antiquarian Society.  He lectures regularly at the Los Feliz Library on the arts.  During the first five years of the Los Feliz Ledger newspaper, Richard was the real estate columnist.  He collects antique and Classic automobiles and is a regular contributor of articles on automotive history. 

Richard has lived in his primary market area since 1978.  In 1994, he purchased a foreclosed house in Los Feliz’s Laughlin Park.  The house, designed and built by supermarket heir, Walter Ralphs, Jr. in 1953 as his bachelor pad, took six months and a broken piggy bank to restore.  Richard has lived there since.  The house may be seen at www.theralphshouse.com.
