Ryan “Stafford” Stafford combines his experience, with his education in Business Communication, to specialize in residential and investment opportunities that coastal real estate has to offer. Stafford grew up in the area and locally obtained a degree with honors.
A background saturated in real estate, his father and grandfather built custom homes throughout the greater San Diego area; while his mother and grandmother served the community as agents. A disciplined work ethic, Stafford worked in construction and as a commercial property manager to put himself through college. After college he worked as an estimator and project manager, honing his skills with material and construction costs. Inspired by the real estate market in San Diego, at age 22 Stafford bought his 1st property in Encinitas, CA. Each and every milestone has led him to where his is today — a real estate agent specializing in residential and investment properties.
