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.
