About The Mattonen Team

HomesInSDCounty Ethical, Expert, and Always in Your Corner.

The Mattonen Team is a husband-and-wife real estate partnership built on shared values, complementary strengths, and an unwavering commitment to their clients’ best interests. Brad and Karen Mattonen operate as HomesInSDCounty at Coldwell Banker West’s 4S Ranch office — recognized as Top Realtors for Social Media and among the Top 5 San Diego Real Estate Experts — and have earned a reputation for tackling the most complex, sensitive transactions in the market with integrity, skill, and heart.

Brad Mattonen · REALTOR®
Multi-Family Management · National RE Marketing · Probate & Pre-Foreclosure · DRE# 02062665
Brad Mattonen brings a remarkably multifaceted background to his work as a REALTOR®. Before joining Coldwell Banker West, he accumulated experience managing multifamily residential properties, orchestrating marketing campaigns for a national real estate magazine, and working in the Fire, Life Safety, and Security Industries — a combination of disciplines that gave him a uniquely broad perspective on property, value, and client service.

Brad chose Coldwell Banker West specifically because of the brand’s long history of industry leadership, cutting-edge technology, and commitment to serving clients better than anyone else. His expertise in digital marketing and social media has made the HomesInSDCounty brand one of the most recognized and trusted in the 4S Ranch corridor.

Brad specializes in complex transitions — probate, pre-foreclosure, Prop 19, and equity defense — and provides free strategic guides on each of these topics. When situations aren’t simple, Brad is exactly who clients need. His motto: protect your equity and deliver results with integrity, even when the market turns messy.

A Partnership Built on Standards

Why the Mattonen Team Chose A SMART MOVE

Brad and Karen Mattonen have built HomesInSDCounty on one non-negotiable standard: their clients deserve the absolute best — not just during the transaction, but at every single step of the journey. That standard governs every vendor they recommend, every partner they work with, and every referral they make. A SMART MOVE has earned that association.

Whether moving across 4S Ranch, relocating to another county, or transitioning out of state, A SMART MOVE handles it with the same seamless coordination.
📦
Professional Packing Services
Full-service packing by trained professionals who treat every item — fine art, heirlooms, custom furniture — with precision and care. Nothing is an afterthought.
🏠
Storage Solutions
Need flexibility between closing dates? A SMART MOVE offers secure, climate-controlled storage so your timeline is never held hostage by the calendar.
Vetted, W-2 Professional Crews
No subcontractors, no surprises. Every crew member is a trained A SMART MOVE employee — background-checked, uniformed, and accountable from start to finish.
🤝
Values That Align
Brad and Karen partner with businesses that put clients first. A SMART MOVE's commitment to honesty, responsiveness, and delivering on their promise is exactly why they've earned a permanent place on the Mattonen Team's approved vendor list.
"

Our clients’ goals are our priority — from the first conversation to the moment they walk through their new front door. A SMART MOVE shares that commitment, and that’s why they’re our first and only recommendation.
I only refer vendors I would use myself. A SMART MOVE has earned that trust — move after move, client after client. They show up, they communicate, and they never cut corners. That is the standard.

Common Questions

Got Questions?

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

How do I get the Mattonen Team's 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 the Mattonen Team's dedicated partner page, the MATTONEN-VIP code is automatically identified and applied. No coupon codes to type — 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. This is one of the reasons the Mattonen Team chose to partner with us.

Do you handle high-value items?

Yes. We regularly handle custom furniture, fine art, antiques, and full estate-level moves across 4S Ranch, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Del Sur, and all of San Diego County.

Do you offer packing services?

Absolutely — full-service, partial, and white-glove packout. Mention your interest in the form and we'll include it in your agreement.

Can I work with Brad or Karen specifically?

Absolutely. While the Mattonen Team operates as a unit — bringing combined expertise to every client — you are welcome to work primarily with either Brad or Karen based on your preferences and situation. The team structure ensures you always have full support from both.

Does the team specialise in probate or pre-foreclosure transactions?

Yes — this is one of the Mattonen Team's greatest strengths. Both Brad and Karen specialise in complex transitions including probate, pre-foreclosure, Prop 19, and equity defense. They offer free downloadable guides on all of these topics at homesinsdcounty.com.
