My name is Steve Ploetz and I run a small real estate team out of Carlsbad California. I’ve been a licensed Realtor since 2005 and in my time I have seen every market and every type of client: high prices, low prices, distressed sales, probate, the joy of the first time home buyer, and on and on. I’m honored to work in a career with a partner and small staff where we can serve people in their time of need and help them build lasting wealth through residential real estate. I work with people buying and selling their own homes, but also work with people buying or selling rental properties. Our team services all of San Diego County, south Riverside County, and into Orange County. We are the highest producing agent is our office and have been for 11 years running most recently closing 91 transaction in 2021and 60 in 2022. In the first quarter of 2023, we are the number 1 agent in our company with over 25M of sales sold. Our commitment is always service oriented. We are always available to provide information and to advise on all matters relating to residential real estate. If you want to connect you can find us in a variety of places, but easiest would be calling my cell phone or connect with me by my email.
We take great pride in our ability to deliver outstanding results. And our satisfied home buyers and sellers can attest to that. That’s what makes us more than just another real estate agent.
I have worked in the real estate industry since 2003 and I attribute my success as an agent to several different factors. I always treat people as I would like to be treated. I earn my clients' trust and respect with my work ethic, my patience, my communication and negotiating skills, and by the fact that I genuinely care.
I am truly passionate about my work, and my natural enthusiasm helps me to work tirelessly for my clients, whether that's selling their home, or finding them a new one, or very often both at the same time!
Buying or selling a home can be one of the most important decisions of a person's life, as well as the lives of their family, and I am always honored when someone chooses me as their agent, and appreciate that they trust me with a job that is so important and such a huge step in their life.
A home is so much more than just most people's biggest investment, it's also a place where families are raised, memories are made and dreams come true. I understand that and treat my clients and the job I've been given with the utmost care, patience and respect and I will always do my best in every way possible. And I am always open to feedback as to how I can improve and provide even better service.
Having been in the industry for over 20 years, I have seen many changes, many ups and downs. I realize the industry is in a constant state of flux, and that an agent, it is imperative not just to keep up with the changes, but to anticipate and stay ahead of the present state of the market. I also attribute much of my success to the fact that I am always learning, always studying the market, trends, new technology - anything and everything that can help me be a better agent. And I pride myself on the fact that I have always been a successful agent without ever using pushy or aggressive sales tactics.
I specialize in working with both buyers and sellers, both local and out-of-the-area, as well as relocation. I am experienced with short sales and foreclosures, and being a landlord and investor myself, I also have experience with property management.
I am proud to be part of the Ploetz Team where all the team members share the same qualities I aspire to, the same strong work ethic and together we provide our clients with the best possible service in an ever-changing industry.

Excellent Communication & Experience. Someone you can count on and trust throughout entire process!
Selling a home is never easy. With Corrine, you are not alone and have a guide to assist along the entire journey. She is responsive, experienced, knowledgeable, forward thinking, motivational, and extremely helpful. This was my third experience buying or selling a home and I would not trust anyone else with a transaction as I do the way I trust Corrine. She earned my trust the way she always supports her clients better than expectations during every situation by offering her valuable knowledge and experience. The entire process benefits from having her on your team. I cannot put into words how grateful I am Corrine understands the market and how to help owners sell their home! She makes magic happen!

Excellent hire
Steve is the definition of a straight shooter and an excellent realtor. My house had been on the market for over seven months before I hired him. Within one week of taking over the listing, Steve had me under contract. He came in, looked at the situation objectively, changed the strategy, repositioned the pricing, and recommended a meaningful price cut rather than continuing to chase the market. The result speaks for itself: he generated serious interest and ultimately landed an offer above the new asking price. What impressed me most was his communication style. Steve is a master communicator. He tells you exactly what you need to know, when you need to know it, without wasting your time with unnecessary calls, drama, or salesmanship. He is decisive, practical, and understands how to get a deal across the finish line. After seven months of frustration, the difference was immediate. I would absolutely work with Steve again and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who wants a realtor who understands strategy, communicates clearly, and gets results.

An Exceptional Experience!
We could not have asked for a better real estate team! From beginning to end, Steve Ploetz was the quintessential professional—polished, knowledgeable, communicative, respectful, and incredibly attentive to our needs. In addition, Steve is an exceptionally astute businessman who understands not only the real estate market, but the broader economic and political forces that influence it. What impressed us most was the level of consideration he showed. He was always mindful of our space and circumstances. He was also genuinely empathetic about the inconvenience that understandably came with having work done in the home. He never made us feel like we were simply another transaction, but rather like our comfort and well-being mattered. His assistant, Ana Rosvall, was equally exceptional. She went above and beyond in ways we never expected and showed keen attention to details. Her thoughtful gestures made an already stressful process so much easier. The entire experience was seamless. We would recommend Steve and his team to anyone looking for a real estate group. Thank you Steve and Ana for making this process such a positive one. You set a very high standard for what exemplary service looks like!

Exceptional!! Always available!
My husband, Bill, and I have known Steve since 2009 when he helped us purchase our current home. He stayed in contact with us throughout the years. There would always be a Holiday card waiting for us in the mail every year. When the time came to look for a property in Fallbrook for our daughter and son-in-law, we contacted him and, of course, he came through. Always available to answer any communication! Extremely knowledgeable of local real estate market conditions and regulations. If not available, Eli, another agent in his company would be there to help. We are now hiring Steve and his company to also facilitate the sale of our daughter's condo. We are extremely pleased with his services and continue to use his skills in the future when the need arises again.
