This review is so long overdue! But thats what happens when you find your dream home and are still on cloud nine. Our family is so thankful we hired Stephanie Woithe and Eric Matz. After a very rough experience with a previous Poway realtor in December 2025, we were completely worn out and had major trust issues. We explained our situation and motivation to Eric and Stephanie. They took us in with open arms, delivered exactly what they promised (and more), sold our home, and got us into our dream home. We deeply appreciate their dedication, professionalism, and incredibly prompt communication at all hours of the day (weekdays and weekends)Here is how fast and efficient they worked:48 hours from meeting: Formulated a solid game plan including proper introductions to the rest of the team and important key players (Eric was ALWAYS prepared, never pushy, and just so dang knowledgeable and AMAZING at his job! I cannot begin to explain the relief and reassurance you feel when dealing with Eric)6 business days: Listed our house on the market (this means, professional photos/video, walk through of to-do list, formulate a schedule of timing, etc)1 week and 1 open house weekend: Held highly successful open houses (Stephanie was well prepared of the history of our home, the HOA, remembering the upgrades we did inside and out, taking effort into knowing all the important additions (solar, HVAC, etc)6 business days from listing: Accepted an excellent above asking offer.As if thats not good enough. They helped us buy our next property - our forever home. We found a house that looked perfect on paper, and Stephanie worked her magic to get us a showing within TWO hours of the property being listed. We submitted an offer the SAME day, the sellers accepted with 24 hours, and we officially closed! We still cannot believe the series of events that took place. Eric was prompt, professional, helped strategize a solid game plan to ensure we showed well and kept us in the loop on everything - when time is crunching minutes feel like hours and days feel like weeks - he was so amazing when pressure was high)Buying and selling a house is incredibly stressful. Stephanie and Eric made the entire experience seamless.I am a very thorough communicator, with high expectations and they matched my speed while exceeding every expectation I had. We are forever grateful to have had them represent us as both buyers and sellers. Thank you for having such a deep market knowledge, giving us the ability to trust your advice, being amazing at communicating, advocating for us and keeping firm with a fair/strong negotiation, always prioritizing high integrity, being so adaptable no matter what curve ball was thrown at us, and overall being amazing human beings. Eric you are truly remarkable you love your clients and we are so thankful you helped close out an important chapter in our lives while opening a new important chapter for our family. The day we sold and the day we bought emotions were so high in the best way possible and this couldn't have happened without your help!With Love,Your Crazy Texting Client (Christy) and Family haha!

Eric Matz was an outstanding realtor and an absolute pleasure to work with. He sold our home in Rancho Bernardo and was incredibly strategic and creative throughout the entire process. Eric brought thoughtful ideas to the table, adapted quickly to market conditions, and guided us with confidence every step of the way. He and his team were extremely responsive, helpful, and always available to answer questions or provide updates. Communication was seamless, and we truly felt supported from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Eric and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Eric and Stephanie worked magic in what was a very difficult market. Our house was a challenge to sell because of its age even with the upgrades that have been done. They overcame all of the obstacles that stood in their way with a professional, personal and positive attitude. We can’t thank them enough for the help and guidance that made our future plans come true.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Eric on a recent real estate transaction—he represented the seller, and I represented the buyer. From start to finish, Eric was an incredibly professional and responsive realtor. His communication was timely, clear, and solution-oriented, which made the escrow process seamless for both sides. I also want to commend Stephanie, a valuable member of his team, who was attentive and supportive every step of the way. As a fellow real estate professional, I always appreciate working with agents who share a dedication to excellence and client service. Eric exemplifies integrity, collaboration, and commitment to his clients. It was truly a pleasure to co-represent such a smooth and successful deal. I look forward to partnering again in the future!

He coordinated with my other agent (in another state) to help keep our contingent purchase on schedule! I would highly recommend Eric Matz!

Eric Matz is an excellent realtor. He is very patient , very knowledgeable and looks out for his clients best interests. He has been my realtor for multiple house purchases and sales of my family homes, for me and my kids, over the past 10 years . He most recently sold my primary residence in Poway in a very tough market in less than 3 weeks when very few houses were being sold in our price range, even before having a single open house!!! He also handled the purchase of our replacement home. Eric and his team were also always available to show us houses with not a lot of advanced notice. It took us several years of searching with Eric to find that perfect home, that was special enough to us to make us leave our last home, that we thought we’d never leave!!! If you want an attentive, patient, knowledgeable realtor that will be dedicated to finding or selling your home—-then Eric should be your realtor…

Selling a home is stressful. But Eric went before me and smoothed out the bumps the whole way through. His expertise was exceptional! He helped me get the house ready to sell and I got 2 offers over asking price and it was in escrow in 3 days! I highly recommend Eric and his team. He is kind, a great listener, super at negotiating and so professional! I am so thankful to him and highly recommend him!

Our experience working with EXP Realty was truly remarkable. My family and I are immensely grateful to Eric and Sheila for their exceptional handling of the sale of our parents home. Given the sensitive nature of the situation, Eric and his team consistently demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and empathy towards our needs, while always prioritizing our best interests. They were patient and attentive to our inquiries, never dismissing any questions as trivial. Eric, Sheila, and Stephanie, your dedication and skill are unparalleled. We extend our heartfelt thanks to your guidance and unwavering support during the significant time.

My spouse and I recently had the pleasure of working with Eric to buy our first home, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous and unsure of what to expect, but Eric was thorough and always on our side. With decades of experience and a powerful network of real estate connections, he is incredibly skilled in negotiation and setting your offer up for success. Beyond his professional expertise, Eric is patient and genuinely cares about finding the perfect home for his clients. Even after we closed, when the house needed some repairs, Eric connected us with the right professionals to make the house our home. We couldn't speak more highly of Eric. He made our first-time homebuyer experience smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend Eric to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Eric Matz exceeded our expectations as he and his team recently listed and sold our family home after the passing of our mother. Eric’s professionalism, understanding, compassion and thoughtfulness was so appreciated. Eric made what was an emotional time for us, a seamless and successful transaction. Eric continuously demonstrated his savvy real estate skills in our marketplace as he guided us through the various sales stages - giving us excellent insight & direction on prepping the home, listing the house in a compelling fashion, hosting successful previews and open houses, negotiating several offers and walking us through each step until final closing. Eric was proactive with frequent updates which continuously assured us we were collaborating with a strategic & skilled real estate professional. From start to finish we experienced a seamless approach with Eric and his wonderful team. Thank you Eric Matz Realty!

Eric and his team did an amazing job of assisting with the sale of my parents home. He has intimate knowledge of the system, prepared amazing pictures and drone footage for the listing, was hands one with subcontractors to make sure everything was prepared to a high standard, included the neighborhood in a special open house to give some closure to the passing of my parents, presented the offers in a fashion that was not only focused on highest dollar amount, but also characteristics of the potential buyers to allow me to select the best opportunity for a quick close, then negotiated all repairs and pushed through a close quickly and on time. By far the best home sale I have been involved with in 30+ years. Highly recommend him and his team.

I can’t be happier that I met Eric. We hired him to sell our house and find and buy another home. From the first meeting, Eric made it clear that we could get this done painlessly. Between he and his partner Stephanie, we were informed about everything as we went through the process. He gave his advice when asked for it, which was often. Never pushed. Incredibly responsive. Straight up honest. He worked for every dollar as if the dollars were his. Professional and honest in every sense of the words. He made things happen regardless of the roadblocks and curves. I highly recommend Eric. Let him work for you. He’ll do you right.

We have used Eric for a couple of real estate transactions. He is very knowledgeable, easy to work with and best of all he delivers excellent results always surpassing our expectations. Eric is always available and responds very quickly to our inquiries. Eric works well with other realtors and has their respect. You really want Eric on your side when it comes to buying or selling a home. I would give him six stars if I could.

Eric is a very kind-hearted, easy-going person. He was very patient with us and continually kept our best interests in mind, throughout the process. We were fortunate to have Eric keep an eye out for us, especially since we were not always in the area (coming from Ventura County). With his great networking skills and prominence in the San Diego area, he was able to find us a house that was a great fit for our family. We would highly recommend him.

We have used Eric twice to sell our homes. The first time was when my mother passed. He was very understanding and worked hard to make sure that all of the details of the sale met the requirements of our family trust. His staging advice and constant updates were right on the mark. We never felt alone. The house sold within 10 days of asking price. A few years later, it was my time to move. He came over and gave us tips to stage the home. He priced the home higher than I would have, and it sold within 7 days.we also had an issue with a VA appraisal and he jumped right in to represent us. The issue was solved for both buyer and seller. He knows his markets. He is a seasoned professional and I recommend him to any family member or friend that I know. Eric is an amazing agent and he works hard for you.

Eric was great to work with. He was extremely patient with us as I’m a very picky house hunter. We looked at dozens if not hundreds of homes over a 2 year span. He never pushed me on any property and in the end we found home and the deal we are very happy with. I couldn’t recommend Eric more.

When we decided to start looking at homes, we immediately contacted Eric and his team - there is no one else we would have gone to. We worked with Eric and Stephanie to find the perfect place for us. They ensured our success in this difficult market, and coordinated the entire closing process while we were living out of state. My family has been working with Eric for years and we will continue to refer any and all friends to his team! Thank you Eric and Stephanie!

Eric's knowledge, communication, timeliness, expertise, compassion and savvy were STELLAR! Eric was honest about the changes in the housing market. His 32 years of experience helped us understand the fluctuations and how to price our condo and negotiate for maximum return. As seniors, we were overwhelmed with preparations for selling. Eric prepared a dateline to follow along with companies (windows, carpet cleaner, handyman, movers, charities, etc.) to help "show" the home in its very best light. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
