Who We Are
Rooted in Detroit. Built on a Legacy.
"When you call, you talk to a local agent who knows the schools, the streets, and what homes here are really worth."
Legacy Park Realty was founded by Jonnita Cotton-Stanton, a licensed broker since 2003 who grew up in the business under her mother — a 40-year real estate veteran. That foundation shaped everything about how we operate: honest advice, deep neighborhood knowledge, and a genuine commitment to every client's outcome.
We are not a call center. We are not a faceless portal. When you work with Legacy Park Realty, you work with a local agent who knows the schools, the streets, and what homes in Metro Detroit are truly worth. Most of our clients find us through the people we've already helped — and that says everything about how we do business.
From starter homes in Detroit to family colonials in Southfield and investment properties across Southeast Michigan, we bring the same care and expertise to every transaction — regardless of price point.
What We Stand For
Our Core Values
Honesty Above All
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Honest pricing, honest timelines, honest advice — every time.
Community First
We are Metro Detroit residents. We invest in these neighborhoods, support local businesses, and take pride in helping our community build wealth through homeownership.
Education & Empowerment
An informed client makes better decisions. We take time to explain every step of the process — especially for first-time buyers who deserve clarity, not confusion.
Results That Last
We measure success not just by closings, but by the long-term outcomes of our clients. Our goal is to help every family build lasting financial security through real estate.
