About Matthew Stanifer

A San Diego Native With an Investment Mindset and a Client-First Heart

Matthew Stanifer has spent more than 25 years living and working across San Diego — from Mission Valley and Pacific Beach to Poway, Encinitas, Solana Beach, and now Carmel Valley. That firsthand experience living in so many of the county’s most desirable communities gives him a nuanced, neighborhood-level understanding that most agents simply can’t match.

His guiding philosophy is simple: treat every client like a family member or close friend. When representing a seller, he works as if it’s his own property on the line. When representing a buyer, he insists on full transparency — including every drawback — so the decision is truly informed. His clients don’t just get a transaction, they get a trusted advisor.

Matthew’s love of the ocean runs deep, shaped by years growing up near the water in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Today, when he’s not helping clients navigate San Diego’s coastal real estate market, you’ll find him at the beach — surfing, swimming, and bodysurfing the same breaks his clients are lucky to call home.

Common Questions

Got Questions?

Here's what clients typically ask before booking their move.

How do I get the Moving Guide and Vendor List? ▾

Both are included when you submit the form on this page. Your coordinator will send the co-branded Moving Guide and Approved Vendor List shortly after you submit — at no cost, no strings attached.

How is the VIP pricing applied? ▾

Because you're on Matthew Stanifer's dedicated partner page, the partner code is automatically identified and applied. No coupon codes to type, no back-and-forth — your coordinator confirms pricing in your agreement.

What if my closing date changes? ▾

We're built for it. Your coordinator stays in sync with your escrow timeline and can flex your move date at no charge as availability allows. Book early to lock in the best slots.

Are your movers employees or contractors? ▾

Every crew member is a W-2 employee — never a day-labor hire or contractor. All pass comprehensive background checks, substance screening, and identity verification.

Do you handle luxury and high-value items? ▾

Yes. We regularly handle custom furniture, fine art, antiques, wine collections, and full estate-level moves across San Diego County. We treat every home and every item with the same care.

Do you offer packing services? ▾

Absolutely — full-seravice, partial, and white-glove packout. Many of Craig's clients opt for full packing so they can focus on the closing process. Mention your interest in the form and we'll include it in your agreement.
