About Steve

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.

An amazing experience

An amazing experience

I can’t thank Steve and his team enough. My property had many challenges before the sale. I felt overwhelmed by the projects needed to get the property ready for sale. Steve and the team handled donations, repairs, updating and staging. Due to the professional efforts by all team members, my property sold well above asking price. I am grateful to the team for all of their efforts. I highly recommend them and will list my next property when the time is right.

More Than a Realtor: The Team You Want in Your Corner

More Than a Realtor: The Team You Want in Your Corner

There are realtors who help you buy or sell a house, and then there’s Steve, who becomes your advocate, strategist, problem-solver, sounding board, and steady presence through one of the biggest transitions of your life. Steve simultaneously helped us sell our home AND purchase our new home. Two major transactions, with all the negotiations, timing, logistics, uncertainty, and emotion that came with them. It was double the transaction and, at times, double the stress. I genuinely don’t know how we would have navigated it without him. Steve’s experience was evident at every stage. He knew when to push, when to be patient, what deserved our attention, and what didn’t need to become another source of worry. His communication was exceptional. We always knew what was happening, what came next, and that someone was looking out for us. Just as impressive was his emotional intelligence. Steve never treated our concerns as inconveniences or made us feel like “just another transaction.” He listened, understood when we needed information or perspective, and remained calm when things became stressful. He never added to the chaos- he helped remove it. And then there's his incredible team. Every person we worked with was instrumental in bringing our two transactions together successfully. Steve has clearly surrounded himself with people who share his standards for professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine client care. By the time we sold our house and had the keys to our new home, calling Steve simply our “realtor” no longer felt adequate. He was our advocate, our voice of reason, and someone we trusted completely. What truly sets Steve apart is something you can’t teach: he knows how to take care of people. Steve and his team helped us close one chapter of our lives and begin another. We couldn’t recommend them more highly. Five stars simply aren’t enough.

Wonderful selling experience from start to finish!

Wonderful selling experience from start to finish!

We have worked with Steve Ploetz' team on two different occasions and could not be happier with the selling process from start to finish. Steve demonstrated excellent listening skills to truly understand our goals overall and built a strategy to provide an outcome even better than we had hoped for. Steve and Eli are excellent in communicating throughout the process and back each other up every step of the way. Communication was always clear, next steps were always identified, and progress was swift. We highly recommend Ploetz Team and will be forever grateful for their guidance and support.

Steve and his team are very professional, responsive, and straightforward. They know how to get the deal done and help me through the entire process. The only real estate agent I’d use! I would not only call Steve my real estate agent I would call my friend.
