The service provide was timely, precise, supportive and effective.  Much appreciated and to be  recommended.

Stephen & Adrienne Melcher

Adrienne and I purchased our home in Solana Beach with Al as our agent. It was not a typical transaction, because he was also the agent for the seller. Al has total integrity and worked for both parties, so that everyone was fully satisfied. 


The transaction was further complicated by the fact that we lived 2,000 miles away, so everything had to be done long distance. Al was very helpful in lining up the mechanical inspection, a surveyor, and a remodeling contractor, so that we did not have to be on site. He also found a very good mortgage broker, who took care of us long distance.


A totally pleasant experience and we would certainly recommend him to others. We are not planning on moving, but if we do, we would first call Al.

Just a brief note to express our gratitude. As you know we had worked with several Real Estate Professionals with no progress in search for the perfect place to live and grow, when we found you... 


Well, Denise put it this way, “Al listened and listened and listened and we walked away with not a house, but a Home.” Our two daughters asked if we were going to see you again this weekend, I told them no because we found that perfect place we were searching for, little do they know that their education is going to be second to none, thanks in part to you. 


Al, thanks for going above and beyond every time.

It was a pleasure working with Al.  While we were viewing potential properties, there was not one hint of "salesmanship."  He helped us find exactly what we were looking for with an affable, yet reserved demeanor. The definition of professionalism in my opinion.  A broker I would recommend to anyone. 


But that was nothing compared to how helpful he proved to be during the walk-through.  He displayed an immense knowledge of every single structural aspect of the property, and actually fixed a few things himself in just a few seconds.  But most importantly, I am now completely protected against things I never would have known existed in the first place, if not for Al.  He is the broker you want on your side of the deal.

My husband, children and I relocated from Naples, FL to Rancho Santa Fe, CA. During that process we went through three transactions with Al Plattner, every which one was complex in its own way.


We found Al through his very informative website and he helped us find homes starting with a rental place.


During this process he has been most helpful, professional and reassuring, in particular since we were handling a lot of this long distance. He provided us with useful information about the new area and was always available no matter how little or big our request was. 


When we were then buying and selling homes in RSF, Al again guided us with excellent advice and support through the negotiation and moving process. He managed everything on time and we knew, we had not to worry about a thing, Al would make sure all items whether it be paperwork, inspections or deadlines would be taken care of.


I am a realtor in Florida myself and my husband and I are very impressed with Al’s professionalism, courtesy and thoughtfulness. He sets an example for every real estate agent around and his approach is what we define as service to the client.

Al Plattner has been our real estate agent for almost a year. Within that year, we have bought a house, sold a house, and are in the process of buying another home - all through Al.


The reason why Al is our agent and friend is because he truly has our best interest in mind 100% of the time. Al is a great negotiator and does not leave a single detail to chance. Al is easy to reach and always returns my phone calls promptly. During the escrow process, Al is on top of all events and deadlines allowing me to take my mind off of the escrow process. He is truly a top notch agent, who will help relieve the stress of buying and selling a property. We are truly happy to have been able to sell our home at the price we wanted and, more importantly, be living in our dream house. Thanks, Al!!!

My wife and I relocated to the Rancho Santa Fe North County area from Scottsdale, Arizona in 2001. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Albert Plattner very early in our search. We were not easy clients, but found Albert's knowledge, professionalism and patience to be a perfect fit. After a diligent search, we are the proud owners of the home of our dreams.


Great guy, Great team and he surfs.

I want to thank you so very much for the excellent job you did selling my home in Rancho Santa Fe so quickly. I was very pleased with the price you negotiated. You did a fantastic job on the brochure and website ad and handled everything so professionally. I still do not know how you were able to satisfy all the buyer's conditions and still close the escrow in 12 days. Please pass my thanks and appreciation on to Sheila. She did an excellent job with all the paper work and other details. The two of you make a great team and I would be pleased to recommend you to anyone wanting to sell their home. Please feel free to use me for a reference, because I am a very happy client.

Thank you for all the help you & Al gave us as first time home buyers in the Rancho Santa Fe marketplace. His knowledge & expertise helped us make the right decision for our family. Al was very professional and executed our purchase with the friendly attitude we have grown to love in Rancho Santa Fe. He even went beyond the call of duty a few times to help in a way that was more than we could have hoped for. We will always be grateful to you both and will trust only him with our next sale or purchase.

Al did a superb job helping us find a home. He went above and beyond on several occasions, making our transcontinental move much easier. He guided us to a house which perfectly matched our specifications, and was willing and able to work with us, while we were in Boston. A big thanks to Al for all his help.
