We recently worked with Jackie to sell our home in San Diego County, and we couldn't be happier with the experience and ultimate result. We had already moved 600 miles away when Jackie listed our house, but it felt like she was in our living room the whole time. Her knowledge of the local market was unmistakable and she truly shined navigating a complex escrow. If you're looking to sell in San Diego County call Jackie. She sold our place tied for the highest price in the neighborhood (in a buyer's market), and she was incredible from start to finish. She truly went above - "above and beyond" for us. Jackie is proactive, highly skilled at problem-solving, and dedicated to getting the best result for her client! She certainly did for us! In our case, we accepted an offer and opened escrow less than a week after the first open house. But the buyers struggled to meet their deadlines. Jackie handled these challenges with incredible poise and professional tenacity. She stepped in, stayed on top of every single detail, and kept the whole deal from falling apart, twice! She kept in communication with us the whole time (600 miles away) and got the deal past the finish line, in under eight weeks! She's professional, super easy to talk to, and a pro at navigating the tricky parts of a sale. We're so glad we had her in our corner! We are sure you will be too! Thank you, Jackie!

Jackie and Steve have been absolutely incredible to work with throughout my first home-buying journey! They have both been just a phone call away, always willing to answer every question my parents and I had, while taking the time to teach us and guide us through the entire process. Buying a home can be stressful and overwhelming, but having such welcoming, supportive, and knowledgeable agents made the experience so much easier. I'm forever grateful to both of them for helping me purchase my first home and for being there every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for better people to have by my side! read more

Steve and his team did a great job. I highly recommend them. The sale went flawlessly, and I always felt they had my best interests in mind

We have worked with Steve for over 10 years. He is the best in the business. He is honest, hard-working, and gets your home sold fast! I highly recommend Steve and his team if you are buying or selling a home. read more

Steve and Ana are a superb power team in real estate! We purchased our first home in Vista, CA this March with the help of this incredible duo. Ana was an incredible asset, helping us narrow our search and visit dozens of properties over the course of a few months. When we had busy travel assignments for work, Ana volunteered to visit homes and FaceTime us to get a feel for both the neighborhood and state of the property. This was a game changer! We were able to make educated decisions on properties in a very quick timeframe. Steve and Ana also helped us analyze trends in single family home sales, which eventually lead us to pivot to our new construction townhome. We are so satisfied with our purchase! It matches our needs and budget perfectly. Thank you again to this amazing team! I would highly recommend them to friends and family looking for the best agents in North County San Diego. read more

I am writing to share my exceptional experience working with Ana, Steve & Eli on the sale of my home. If you are considering selling your property and are unsure about the process, I highly recommend reading about my experience. Ana Rosvall was my listing agent and proved to be the most hardworking, professional, and responsive agent I could have asked for. From our initial contact, when I provided my desired listing date, Ana and Steve visited my property and offered invaluable feedback to enhance its value. They provided comprehensive resources to complete all suggested tasks. A significant benefit of working with this team is that home staging is included in their fee. Ana collaborated with Lisa, the stager, who provided excellent decorative insights, suggesting changes like updating light fixtures, installing kitchen hardware, refinishing countertops, and other minor upgrades. All suggestions from Lisa and Ana were well-received and implemented. In addition to the included staging, Ana and Steve even offered to cover the additional upgrading costs until the close of escrow, which was truly amazing. After all upgrades and staging were complete, Ana arranged for a photographer to capture professional photos and a drone video of the property, all included in their fee. Ana was present for every step. We listed the home precisely on the promised date, and Ana immediately held an open house the first weekend, which generated several offers. Over the next two weeks, Ana and I meticulously evaluated each offer, leveraging the insights of her team, Steve and Eli, to guide us. My goal was to sell the home for a specific price and achieve a short escrow of 17 days or less. Despite a sudden shift in the market that caused properties to linger, Ana and her team held additional open houses, consistently bringing in multiple offers. We ultimately accepted a fantastic offer from ideal buyers and their agent. The communication between all parties was consistently clear and diligent. Eli in the office expertly guided me through all documentation related to offers, counteroffers, legal aspects, and escrow. Communication and documents were never delayed; everything was handled with remarkable efficiency and timeliness. We successfully closed escrow in just 15 days, exceeding our 17-day goal. When an incentive for an early close was proposed, some minor tasks needed to be completed at the house, and Ana even came over to personally assist me. I was incredibly grateful for her dedication and for taking time out of her busy schedule to help. I can honestly say there isn't one thing I would change about the team and their process. All parties involved were extremely professional and efficient. I can assure you, choosing Ana and The Ploetz Team to sell your home is the way to go. NOTE: the escrow closed in just 51 days from the listing date! This is a remarkable achievement, especially considering the current buyer's market with high interest rates!! read more

Working with Jackie on selling our condo was a very pleasant experience. She was responsive, upbeat, and extremely positive. When we were stressed about some things that were scheduled she was able to change them and worked with our schedule. She was in constant communication and informed us of when vendors would be at the condo for cleaning, staging, etc. She was patient with us and walked us through the process of selling the condo. We now live out of state but if you are in the San Diego area I highly recommend using Jackie. read more

would not recommend or use. wants client to meet his availability, not seek to meet the client's availability

Steve and Eli were great to work with...always responsive! They made home selling easy and they were a pleasure to work with every step of the way! Joyce Oconnor read more

We were considering a home in the San Diego area to rent out until ready to move. While we ultimately decided to wait, Steve and Ana were great to work with. They were very easy to work with, responsive, knowledgeable, everything you would want in an agent. We will reach out to them again when the time is right. read more

Steve and Eli are the best! They are so responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with. They helped us on both the selling and buying of our homes and we cannot imagine what it would have been like without them. They worked with us from beginning to end, handled all our paperwork, kept us on track to close, and even helped managed work that needed to be done. Highly recommend Steve and his team. Thank you, guys!!! read more

We had the pleasure working with Eli. He made selling our house easy and as stress free as possible. Always there to answer any questions we had and letting us know what the next step was. Helping us with pricing, staging, and with showing our house. He always wanted our input in everything. Loved working with Eli and the team, if we ever come back to Cali will definitely have them help us look for a house. read more

Ana is awesome! She was very knowledgable and helpful. With 3 kids I was nervous for the process but she made it so stress free and easy. She always went above and beyond and was very responsive to questions and to make suggestions when needed. read more

I contracted with Steve Ploetz and his team to sell my home. I was living out of state from where the home was located and needed someone who could coordinate all aspects of not only the sale but preparing the house beforehand. It needed paint, carpet, cleaning and other items in order to make it presentable. Steve set me up with a company called Showhomes and between the two of them not only was the house looking like a model when they were done but I sold in less than a week for more than the asking price! It was the best, painless and profitable experience I've ever had selling a property. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Steve Ploetz & Team, I wanted to take a minute to thank all of you for your exceptional work on the sale of my family home. Any time one finds themselves making the decision to sell a home that you grew up in and raised your children, it can be emotional. I have worked with Steve, Eli, Anna, and team 6 months earlier with my son first purchase of a home, that went very smoothly. We knew that Steve and Eli were going to make this transition very comfortable. Steve, Eli and team handled all the small stuff and communication during the process was beyond my expectations. Steve presented us with all the offers and coached us in the best way to sort through them and make counter offers. Steve gave us the choices of the final offers and explained in detail which offer was the best for a smooth closing. We are very happy with the final results, (well above asking price), and can't say enough to anyone who reads this. Go with Steve, Eli and team if you want honest, professionalism and follow through at every step of the way. Again, Thank You Steve Ploetz & team. I will be recommending you to all my family and friends for their real-estate needs. Kevin ad Lara read more

Steve, Ana, and Eli were outstanding! We couldn't have asked for a better group of people to help us find our perfect home! The team were very personable, responsive, informed, and had a wealth of knowledge about all the local neighborhoods. They helped us navigate the competitive market and ultimately guided us to a house we are excited to call our home. Thank you, Ana, Steve, and Eli, from the bottom of our hearts! read more

I am not sure in what world I could find enough and/or the right words to describe just how amazing Steve and his team are. This review will NEVER do them enough justice. I first met Steve through reaching out from a financial planner website, but my husband and I were about 2-3 years away from an actual decision. Did that stop Steve? No... He truly cares about nurturing the relationships he has with not only his current client that actually have helped him earn a living, but also the potential ones that may or may not ever convert. I think being a real estate agent is one of the hardest and delayed satisfaction type of jobs that are out there. I mean think about it... until you purchase the home, the realtor is working for NOTHING. He still took time out of his busy day to meet with myself and my husband on more than one occasion and his partner, Ana, took me to view homes even though they knew we were not ready to make a decision yet. They are walking us through how to watch the market, see what kinds of things we like and expect when we get to that point. He has very influential relationships with other professionals in the industry (like a mortgage broker and escrow officer) to make the process of purchasing truly seamless. He is also a fantastic family man and has some adorable little ones. read more

Ana was a dream to work with - never pushy, a great listener, and always gave honest (and very helpful!) feedback. She was patient on our journey to find a home, and I feel that having Ana as our realtor helped us secure our dream house as ours even in a stressful multiple buyer situation. Ana continues to be helpful even after closing with respect to recommendations on contractors, etc. Would 100% recommend Ana to any family/friend looking to buy a house in the Southern California region. read more

Steve was both hard working and very knowledgeable. We appreciated that there was no sales tactics or gimmicks. Steve is just a honest, hardworking and humble man. Steve is one that will both listen and understand but is not scared to challenge if the customers best interest is at stake. Not only will I use Steve again but I will recommend to both friends and family. read more

We contacted Ana through a referral from a friend. We were looking to sell our home in Encinitas and purchase a bigger home inland. We had a tall order of what we wanted in a home. We looked around on our own but could not find the right fit. Ana knew what we were looking for and found a house for us to view. The house checked ALL the boxes. It was a bit of a bidding war but, with Ana's help our offer was accepted and we purchased the first house she showed us. Everything went very smoothly. Because the Ploetz team was so good helping us find a home, we asked them to list our home in Encinitas. The entire Team was exceptional in handling the sale. From talking to us about pricing, to staging, to showing the house-"Great." The house was purchased by the first person that viewed it for full asking price. Again, everything went smoothly. Everyone at The Ploetz Century 21 Award was professional, very attentive and on top of everything. I will gladly refer The Ploetz Century 21 Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. read more

Steve is AMAZING! Reliable, resourceful, knowledgeable and hysterical. He keeps a consistent pulse on the market. He knows what it takes to get the job done. He is always happy to answer questions. He is a hard worker who truly cares about his clients needs and goals. What a gem! read more

Steve and Eli have been excellent with their assistance in a home purchase. Their knowledge of the North County area was second to none! The team helped put together a winning bid in this tough seller's market, and enabled a closing that took place only 3 weeks after our initial offer. They have continued to provide assistance throughout the process, even up to the move-in date. Steve and Eli have great resources for moves, renovations, and mortgage. This team is definitely a diamond in the rough for all interested buyers! They have the best interest of the buyers in mind, and show genuine care for their clients and clients' families. read more

Steve is an incredible realtor who goes above and beyond for his clients. It's taken me awhile to write this review because I didn't know how to put into words everything he did to make my complicated sale happen. First, I should say that I had originally purchased my townhome in La Costa with the help of Steve. Then 7 years later, I needed to sell my home for unfortunate reasons and that's because my daughter had a serious medical issue that brought us across the country. When I decided to make our move permanent, I contacted Steve to see if he could sell my home with me being afar. I thought it would be an impossible feat considering I had left San Diego with very little notice and unable to return due to being a solo mom and needing to be with my daughter on the East Coast. Steve assured me he could help me make this happen and having worked with him before, I had complete faith that he could. And he did. Throughout the process, he was calm and confident in taking the reins to make the move and sale seamless. He brought in his great team and was able to get my furniture out and belongings packed, had our home staged, beautifully photographed and listed the home in just a few weeks. When deciding how to increase the value of my home, he gave amazing insight in what he thought would add value and what wouldn't. For example, I wondered if painting the kitchen would help. And he advised that in my case, a small remodel wouldn't add substantial value to the home. And he was right. He sold my home for more than we listed it at and at one of the highest price per square feet in my community. Within a few days, he got 2 great offers, and offered great guidance on which one to accept. There were a few small issues that came up with my home (ie stuff with HOA, repairs on my home) and he handled it all so I could focus on my daughter. Steve, Eli and everyone on the team are just joys to work with... they are transparent, practical, compassionate and also of course incredibly savvy at making the best deal happen. I can't even begin to thank Steve enough for the seamless sale of my home during an incredibly stressful time in my life. If you are looking for a realtor, you will not find anyone better than Steve. read more

We met Steve Ploetz a few years ago through a personal friend and spent some time off and on looking around San Diego County for a new home whenever we could get down here from our place in Oakland. When we decided the time was right to sell our home in Oakland and move down to the San Diego area, we relied on Steve for recommendations and he never disappointed. He even helped us find a rental property even through rentals are not what he does. All the time we worked with Steve he was always friendly, pleasant, charming and willing to go the extra mile for us. Eventually, we met his Associate, Ana Rosvall, who is equally amiable and efficient and she helped us with the purchase of our new home in Fallbrook. We can't say enough about how wonderful it was to have Ana and Steve guiding us through the entire lengthy process of closing on our new home! They both were patient and answered all our questions, no matter what they were. Ana Rosvall is a treasure, and anyone who is lucky enough to meet her and have her represent them in either buying or selling a property will be completely satisfied with her friendliness, efficiency, and helpfulness. We have had the occasional questions all new homeowners have, and Ana has answered all of them, even to recommending various professionals for helping us with roofing, plumbing, fencing, surveying. Whatever we needed, Ana had the answer! Thank You so much, dear Ana. We happily recommend Ana Rosvall and Steve Ploetz and his Team for all your Real Estate needs. read more

We can't recommend Steve and his team highly enough! He is professional and courteous, and we were very impressed by his market knowledge and know-how. He was able to answer all of our questions and provide thoughtful and inciteful responses when asked for his recommendations. We were in a relocation situation due to my work, which comes with its own challenges, but Steve and his team handled them with such expertise that it really made the whole process easy for us. You won't regret selling/buying your home with Steve! read more

We just purchased a second house for my parents with Ana and Steve and had the usual amazing experience! Our biggest challenge was getting our offer accepted among 5 other offers and Ana's skill and experience in helping us navigate through that was the most critical factor in our success. She also helped connect us with a really good inspector and after we had closed she also recommended a flooring contractor who did a great job. Again, the whole team was great and I wholeheartedly recommend the Ploetz experience! read more

We feel so lucky to have worked with Steve, Thad, and Janece on selling our condo. We bought our condo three years ago and Thad was the sellers agent at that time, we got a great vibe from him then so it was a no brainer when it came time for us to sell that very same condo we gave Thad & Janece a call. Being first time sellers we required a substantial amount of hand holding and explaining the process and the whole team was so helpful! Assuring to know you have a whole team of people who are clearly invested and have your best interest in mind. We never had to check in - they were always ahead of us on updates, thoroughly explained everything, and alleviated as much stress as possible. So personable and genuine, hard to find these days! We are so grateful to have worked with Thad, Janece, and Steve, highly recommend them! read more

All went smoothly and Stephen did exactly what we wanted. He sold our property quickly and helped us with advice when we were needing it. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! read more

Excellent service, response time and knowledge. Steve is the man to call to handle all your Real Estate needs.

Excellent service with Steve and the Team going far beyond expectation! He kept on top of the total transaction and believe we would not have gotten the house sale completed without his actions and determination. He also has an extensive list of vendors and was able to coordinate the work needing to be done as we were out of state! I fully recommended Steve and his team for their professionalism and market knowledge! read more

Steve with help from Eli and the Team did a superb job of arranging staging and preparation (painting, cabinet handles, drapes, etc.). Their help and advice resulted in a great offer. I would gladly to it again. read more

We were not prepared to sell and move, but Steve took our "pocket listing" and ran with it! He found the perfect buyer who, working through Steve, were agreeable to a longer than normal escrow. We found, and bought, our new favorite house, with Steve's great help, without having to use the long escrow! VIOLA! Everyone was happy! Steve is a wonderfully patient, helpful, and knowledgeable agent. We would HIGHLY recommend him, and Eli, to anyone thinking about that big decision. Cheers! read more

We had the pleasure of having Ana Rosvall as our agent for the house we just purchased! Throughout the multi month long house hunt, Ana diligently communicated with us on upcoming open houses, arranged private showings, called agents on yet to be listed homes, and really went the extra mile in all her duties. We were never pressured in any of the decision making process, and it was easy to trust that Ana had our best intentions at heart. Throughout the whole offer and escrow process Ana was our point person in the deal, talking with the seller's agent, escrow, helping to arrange inspections, appraisals, and all the other craziness that goes along with buying a house. We're greatly appreciative of everything Ana did for us, and we highly recommend her! read more

I chose Steve to sell our home because he grew up in Shadowridge and is currently raising his family there. Steve is extremely professional and goes above and beyond the call of duty! We moved to Arizona before placing our home on the market. Steve and his team took care of all the details and communicated with us everyday. Steve sold our house in 3 days! If you are looking for a relator, I highly recommend you meet with Steve! He is amazing! read more

I am forever grateful for Steve, Ana and the rest of their all-star team! I was referred to Steve by a family friend and as a first time home buyer who was new to the San Diego area and I could not have landed a better connection. From the start Steve and Ana listened intently to what I wanted and needed and never made me feel pressured or rushed. They entertained and answered my laundry list of newbie questions and still made me feel like a valued client amidst a crazy and competitive market. I was presented with a rare opportunity that ended up being a great fit and there is absolutely no way I would have been able to navigate the closing process without their patience and speedy hard work. We closed extremely quickly and I felt nothing but encouraged along what could otherwise be a very stressful and scary process as a first timer. I will recommend this team to everyone I come across who is looking to buy or sell, this wouldn't have happened for me without them! read more

We feel we've had a complete win-win experience going through two separate home transactions with the Clendenens and SP&T. From buying a house and also selling a house, we are pleased to say both have been a remarkably smooth process. Although on different timelines, both situations operated under contracts with very short Escrows. Deadlines were met and we were connected with the best of professionals in the process that bolstered our confidence that our home was receiving the proper evaluation it deserved for both parties. Selling a home was a first time experience for us and it was really great to have three perspectives (Thad Clendenen, Janece Clendenen and Steve Ploetz) sharing a very unified voice in giving us the advice we needed from preparing to list our home, considering offers, and all the details along the way from there through closing. It was all conducted with the utmost professionalism, clear expertise, and just the right amount of humor along the way. We truly felt in very capable hands the whole time. We can even say it was a peaceful process even though we know it was a ton of work behind the scenes that this team handled seamlessly. The beauty of a team like this is that each serve a unique role and handle it so efficiently and well. So many moving parts but each member of SP&T we worked with was clearly geared and gifted for their role in the transaction. In addition, there were numerous moments where we received some above and beyond assistance in tending to loose ends that I can't imagine any other realtors ever offering to do for us in any other situation! It was more than a personal sacrifice and touch - it was as if they were selling their own home, it was that kind of passion and involvement. Steve, Thad and Janece were a pleasure to do business with and we are so glad we chose them to represent us for these milestone decisions in our lives. Thank you ALL so very much for your keen eyes, support and dedication you put into our buying and selling process! read more

Steve not only knows the fine details of how to navigate the real estate waters but goes above and beyond in terms of effort and dedication. I hired him to sell my property and he provided guidance for the things I could do to optimize my profits, brought in a cleaning crew and interior decorator to state my property at no cost to me, and was straight up with me through the negotiation process. He has exceeded my expectations across the board. Also, after I sold my property I moved out of state and reached out to ask a question about the purchase of a new home in a different state in which he researched the property of interest and gave me research backed advice on how much to offer. Steve is the man! read more
