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
