Annika and her team were outstanding in every way! We had listed our house with another agent and were not successful in getting any offers that were right for us. Once that listing expired, we decided to change things up and go with Annika, because she had a program specifically for listing houses that did not sell previously. Our house was amazing and beautiful--and in a perfect neighborhood, so we thought changing the agent and team would make a difference. We were sure right about that! We had offers coming in quickly and were able to close the sale with a great buyer in a good timeframe for us. For me, clear communication was going to be key to keeping us in the loop on all aspects of Annika's plan, and how things were progressing. Annika understood that selling a home in a challenging market can be a challenging experience, so clear, proactive communication kept everyone up to speed, avoided surprises, and gave us the information we needed to make quick decisions to get to close. If I am ever in the home buying or selling market in SoCal again, Annika is our first choice! If asked by any friends still in California, Annika is our first recommendation--you cannot go wrong with her and her entire team of professionals! 2023
Wonder team. I cannot fully express how impressed I am with all of you. You are simply the best. Thank you so much for all of your efforts, professionalism, and everything else that it takes to do what you do. 2023
Annika and her team were incredible guiding my brother and me during every step from listing to closing on our moms home. Her advice was invaluable in getting the price we wanted and closing with the right buyers. The Godfrey Team was professional, responsive, and handled challenging circumstances with confidence and honesty. Annikas knowledge of the area along with her can-do attitude made the experience less stressful and even enjoyable. I highly recommend the Godfrey Group to anyone looking to sell their home in Orange County. 2023
Annika was amazing throughout the entire process! She helped us from the beginning with what to do to make the home even more appealing. The house was on the market for just a few days and we had several offers. Would recommend her highly to anyone selling or buying a home. 2022
My family recently had the pleasure of working with Annika while selling our home. We chose to sell with her because the market is in a period of flux after a few big years, and we knew she had a stellar reputation - and Annika did not disappoint! We sold quickly and at an amazing price. Bonus: she and her team were extremely accommodating and professional throughout the entire process - it was seamless and easy! If we could give Annika more stars, we gladly would!
I really cant say enough about Annika and her team. Ive sold and bought properties before and none of the previous real estate agents compare. They communicated with me every step of the way and made the entire process painless. Their escrow company representatives, who were also easy to work with, arranged for a notary to come to my residence. From the staging, the open house, the review of offers, escrow and finalizing the sale, the knowledge and professionalism of Annika and her team was front and center. My advice to anyone contracting with Annika is to do what she tells you and let the team do its job. Even in a hot real estate market, they were able to sell my condo for more money than I ever expected. Im extremely satisfied with the outcome. 2022
Knowing countless realtors personally and professionally, I initially reached out to Annika Godfrey just to talk about the What If scenarios in regards to selling our home knowing during this heightened real estate market. I explained to her our situation and that we dont need to sell, but was curious what she thought our home could possibly sell for. My wife and I were clear to Annika that if we didnt get a certain high sale price we would not move.
We said, No public open houses and only serious pre-qualified buyers by appointment only.
Annika smiled with confidence and said, No problemIll get you over your ask.
Her experience and expertise was no joke as after the first weekend of going live on the market, we had three over ask offers.
Within just a few weeks of that initial meeting with Annika, we closed the door behind us on the house we lived in for 17 years for the last time as she set a record sales price in that neighborhood.
If you are thinking about the What If in regards to your house, reach out to the Annika Godfrey and her talented team.
Selling a home is a really big deal that can go wrong at any moment. That is why you want Annika Godfrey and the Godfrey Group to represent you. Our online investigation showed that she had consistently great reviews that were so good, we were actually a bit skeptical. But from the outset, Annika proved that the great reviews were all correctand more. She was amazingly responsive, both in her actions and communications with us, and did everything she said she would do when she promised to do it. She arranged for the staging of our home (yes, it is worth the cost if she recommends it), hired a fantastic photographer, and even put us in touch with someone who helped us haul away unwanted furniture. Annika promoted and priced our home to get an unbelievable number of viewings within hours of listing, handled the stress from the many anxious buyers who wanted to view the home, and within days, negotiated a great deal. We then simply followed her lead and had confidence that she was there to help us with the tough decisions. We greatly appreciated Annikas calm manner and sense of caring that proves that being a realtor is not just her jobit is her passion. She was on site every time that we needed her, even on short notice, and her team was knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and polite. We cant say it was a completely worry-free experience, but when we would reach out to Annika, she would make sure all our concerns were addressed at the right time. Selling our home of 37 years was a big moment in our lives, so it was incredibly important to have a great realtor and team that would work hard to help us through it. Hands down, THAT was what Annika Godfrey and the Godfrey Group did for us, and we are certain they will do the same for you. 2021
Annika really went all out for us to get us into the home of our dreams! I cannot imagine anyone else working as efficiently, productively, honestly and tirelessly as Annika and her team. She walked us through each step of the process and patiently answered all our of questions. Additionally, she went to bat for us and didn't back down! We would definitely not be homeowners today if it wasn't for Annika Godfrey and the Godfrey-Group. Every industry has an elite group of people that have proven reputations and results. Annika Godfrey and The Godfrey Group are those elites. 2020
I can't say enough about Annika and her team. This is usually one of the most stressful processes that people go through. BUT.... Annika and her team took the stress from our shoulders. We needed to sell 2 condos and buy 1 house. We had a vision of what we wanted, but the timing had to be perfect for this to work. We told Annika what we would like in our next and forever home. We thought with our budget it would be impossible and we would have to give up something. WELL... we got everything we wanted! From from our first meeting Annika said , 'follow my plan' and it will work out. We did. We trusted. We followed her plan and we got the house we wanted and it was EVERYTHING we asked for in a home. The home wasn't even on the market. She put it all together! We saw 1 home, just 1. I didn't need to see any others. She showed us exactly what we asked for and that was the one. She and her team were on it. Everything from the escrow to the loan and all details were coordinated perfectly. I cannot express how grateful I am to Annika Godfrey!!!! 2021
Annika Godfrey and her team are the ABSOLUTE BEST!! Being separated for 5 years, Covid brought my wife and I back together and we needed to sell 2 properties and find our "forever home". We told Annika EXACTLY the type of house we were looking for- single-level, 1600-1800sf, open floor plan, bright inside, with a yard, driveway, and I didn't think it was affordable for us but I wanted a little privacy...AND it had to be "off-market" because we could not afford to get into a bidding war with anyone else as is often the case these days. Not only did Annika find us a house that checked every box on our wish list, she found us the PERFECT house in an even better neighborhood than we ever imagined! Then she put this whole plan into motion- staging and selling our condos for significantly more money than we thought possible, working out rent-backs so the timing of all the moving would be in sync and no one would be 'homeless' for any period of time, and basically orchestrating every aspect of the process (escrow, loan, inspections, etc.) so my wife and I didn't need to worry or stress (too much :-)). Annika and her team are professional, knowledgeable, quick to communicate and respond to questions, and overall amazing!! Annika ACTUALLY CARES about her clients and their needs and takes it personally, I felt like we were family members! We have bought and sold 4 other properties in the past and I wish I knew Annika then. This was by far the most complicated transaction of them all but because of Annika and her team, it was the smoothest!! I don't plan on ever moving again, but if I have to, I will only use Annika and her team. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone thinking of buying or selling a home. They are simply the best!!! 2021
Annika and her team are unbelievably amazing! From the start of the process to the close of escrow and beyond, they were there every step of the way. Selling a home is stressful but they took all the stress out of the process. Annika walked through our home, worked up a plan that accommodated our needs and requests, and then set the plan in motion. Our home sold over asking in just two days!
Even after closing, she continued to follow up with us to make sure we had secured the home of our dreams. She was more than willing to show us homes in OC without hesitation, even while knowing that we might be moving out of the county entirely. She did not sleep until we were in contract on our new house well above and beyond any of our expectations of customer service.
Annika and her team know what is takes to sell homes! In her words they CRUSHED IT!!!
SOLD!!!!! Annika and her top notch team sold our house quickly, for top dollar, and made it super easy for us as sellers!! We accepted a great offer 3 days after listing. The only reason it took that long was counting all the offers coming in :) Her team is FULL service and professional!! They arranged everything we needed to sell our house - Window cleaners, Stagers, house cleaners, photographers, escrow...you name it. They were in and out like clockwork and they were each top notch at a great value. Annika was personally in constant communication throughout the entire process and super encouraging along the way. This was the 5th house I have sold in 3 states and by far the best experience. I wouldn't go with anyone else!! Thank you Annika, Logan, Kristina, Charisse, and Terri!!! 2021
Annika Godfrey and the team at the Godfrey Group could not have impressed us more. We had lived in our home for over 20 years, and after raising our kids there, had decided it was time to downsize and enjoy our retirement. We were overwhelmed with the immensity of the tasks ahead, and unsure how to best prepare our property for a successful and profitable sale. Annika came in with her positive can-do attitude, and gave us practical advice, encouragement, and most importantly a clear plan to follow. With her guidance we tackled the job strategically, focusing on those areas of the home that would make the most difference to a buyer, and the final result was a home we were proud to put on the market. Her contacts during the process proved to be invaluable to us. The contractors she recommended came in at reasonable prices and provided impressive results. Its easy to say that we would happily hire any one of them again if the need should arise. Throughout the entire process Annika remained positive and responded quickly to us. In fact, the entire Godfrey Group team was only a text away to answer any questions that came up, whether it be regarding the preparation of the property, the listing process, or the final sale and closing. If I could give one piece of advice to anyone wanting to sell their property, it would be to choose Annika Godfrey as your Realtor, allow her to come up with a plan specifically for your property, and then follow that plan all the way through to the end. Annikas knowledge of the market and her strategy for success offered us an amazing opportunity to meet our goals. We were thrilled with the listing price she set for our home, and amazed when we closed the sale at substantially higher price. Our retirement dreams are now a reality in great part thanks to Annika and her team.
Annika Godfrey and her team set the gold standard in residential real estate brokerage. When we decided it was time to sell and prepare to move on to our next home, we had a lot of options for how we would find a buyer. We interviewed several agents from different brokerages and online real estate platforms. We invested a lot in our property and wanted to find a buyer who recognized its value. Hiring the Godfrey Group was the best decision we made in selling our house. Annika Godfrey had the strategy, expertise, and support team that we needed to get the most value in the sale.
As busy professionals and parents, we were lucky to have 24/7 access to Annikas team. The Godfrey Groups concierge was just a text message away. They coordinated everythingstaging, photography, listing, showing, negotiations, contingencies, appraisal, inspections, walk-throughs, repairs, and moreand were courteous, fun, and cheerful every step of the way. I will refer my friends and clients to Annika every time. She is dependable, responsive, and will bring her teams pro-active habits and diligence to every transaction. She knows the South Orange County market because its her home and she has been brokering residential real estate for more than a decade. The Godfrey Group can anticipate every issue. If your experience is like ours, Annikas team will represent you and make sure you have every advantage in meeting your goals. 2021
I can hardly put into words how AMAZING Annika and her team are to work with! From the first phone call and meeting we had, where Annika took the time to discuss our exact needs and wants with selling our home, to personally helping us with every detail of getting our house ready to put on the market (Annika has a contact for every job you need doing and they do fantastic work and great value). Annika pointed us in the right direction on how to maximize the house sale price, it worked !!! The house sold for full ask after the first weekend of viewings and this for sure was due to Annika and here team and the effort they put in to getting us ready. From the first day to the last day, Annika and the team were with us and guiding us. When you are selling a house and dealing with the stress of everything going on, having Annika on your team is the best thing you can do !!
And the story doesnt end there! Annika ended up finding us a rental home, that took so much pressure off of us as we were getting refusals due to our cats and dog. We can now relax and enjoy the next 12 months.
If youre thinking of buying or selling a home, please look no further and be sure to call Annika. She is seriously the best in the business and we are so grateful for how she has helped us in every way ! 2021
With Annika, we set the highest historical price for our subdivision. We were able to keep the property in escrow, even though the purchase price exceeded the appraisal, and got it to the finish line. In the end, we received about $110-150k more than the other agents said we should list at. We interviewed several agents from and online platforms. Choosing Annika and the Godfrey Group was the best decision -- she had the strategy, expertise, and support team that we needed to get the most value. We had 24/7 access to Annikas team. They were always just a text message away. They coordinated everythingstaging, photography, listing, showing, negotiations, contingencies, appraisal, inspections, walk-throughs, repairs. They were courteous, fun, and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Annika every time. 2021
Annika and the Godfrey Group were nothing short of amazing. From the moment we met them until we closed on our house, they were quick to respond in both action and communication. We advised on what we were looking for in a house and also specific neighborhood. They took it upon themselves to send a letter to the neighborhood... and it worked! A homeowner responded right away. They helped us negotiate a great price in a sellers market. We are beyond grateful for their amazing service. 2021
Annika came with a plan and a sale price and I loved them both. She had a great marketing strategy for my condo, which was sold in one day at full price. If any issues arose, she was right there with all the answers. She was always there to support me in every step in the process. Her team is amazing. I would highly recommend Annika to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. I was Lucky to have Annika as my realtor! 2021
I can hardly put into words how AMAZING Annika is to work with! From the first phone call we had, where Annika took the time to discuss our exact needs and wants with selling our home, to personally helping us with every detail of getting our house ready to put on the market (we had a sensitive situation and were also selling while living 500 miles away), to actually selling our home in record time, Annika and her team knocked it out of the park and far exceeded our expectations. We have sold several homes in the past with different realtors, and this experience was unlike any weve had before- it was 100 times better! Her professionalism, excellent communication, and expert advice and support made selling our house a wonderful experience.
And the story doesnt end there! Annika ended up finding us our dream home, before it was even on the market, and we were able to get the home over 6 other offers! Everything went smoothly and it was a seamless transaction.
If youre thinking of buying or selling a home, please look no further and be sure to call Annika. She is seriously the best in the business and we are so grateful for how she has helped our family's dreams become a reality this year! 2020
Selling a beloved home is an emotional endeavor. We interviewed a discount broker, but chose to work with Annika instead. She and her team provided superior service and support, selling our home for a record high in just two days during the pandemic. Using a full service realtor was the best decision we could have made. The sale exceeded our expectations and was so well managed that we closed in three weeks. We highly recommend Annika and her professional team!
Annika and her team were incredible, they work tirelessly to get our house sold. Even in the middle of the Corona Virus she was able to get pre-qualified buyers coming through almost on a daily basis. During sales negotiations she had my back and we were able to maximize our profit. 2020
Annika was a pleasure to work with. She not only helped us get our dream home with our first offer, but also sold our home for 50k above listing... during a pandemic! Within the first month of living in our new home our AC unit went out, she was able to help us push our home warranty to move quickly, and also recommended someone to come service our unit. If you need a person you can trust and get you the best ROI for your home, Annika is your girl. Thanks a lot Annika, you crushed it! 2020
I was so fortunate to find Annika! When I decided to sell my home, I noticed that she had listed my neighbor's home which was in escrow within a couple of days, so I decided to give her a call. From our first meeting, I knew I would be in great hands. Annika is so warm and friendly and works harder than anyone in the business. She rolls out the red carpet and goes above and beyond, even for ordinary people like me. She's not focused on only selling high-priced homes, or working with the elite just to make money. Instead, she cares about regular people and giving them the best experience possible when selling their home. Her focus is on her customer and doing everything she can to help them achieve the outcome they want. I have sold 8 homes and have never had such a great experience with an agent. Annika and her team are consummate professionals and clearly have the experience and knowledge to make selling a home an easy process for the seller. Although there were difficulties and challenges due to the pandemic and all the usual issues of selling a home, she was so understanding and she and her team managed all the issues behind the scenes without causing stress for me. From start to finish, from marketing to communication to negotiating to managing all the details, Annika and her team did an amazing job and I would highly recommend them! 2020
I wish all my transactions could go as smooth as this! From our first meeting Annika treated us like VIPs. She exudes experience and personal touch. She immediately came up with a marketing plan for our house. Although we were looking to buy on the contingency of our sale, she set us up so well that our offer was as good as any. Within 24 hours of listing our house she got us a buyer and we sold for above our asking price. Her and her team worked feverishly to get us into every house we wanted to see. And because of our awesome set up we got the first home we offered on and a 30 day escrow! This maybe the greatest real estate experience in history but I have to give credit where credits due. She laid out a plan and everything happen just as it was supposed to and all in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. I wish there were 6 stars. Annika, Kristina, Natasha and the whole team are a dedicated and seasoned crew that excel at customer service. Not only am I writing this review from the comfort of our new home, but she has become a family friend in the process. Shes simply the best there is! Thanks so much Annika we couldn't be happier!
Annika was amazing to work with! Her experience and knowledge was obvious and she put it into action! She sold our home in 1 day during Covid! It sold for $15k over our asking price which was $99k over the last home sold in our community a few days prior! EVERYTHING went smoothly and it was seamless. Her whole team was completely on it and took the guess work out of it! From title to banking to escrow... all of it was great! She was always there to answer your questions or ease your worries. We sold our home so fast, we needed to find somewhere to go! We ended up buying another home and had an extremely fast escrow so we could close all at the same time. She really fights for you and does it well! I can not praise her enough, you need to go with her and her team! You will not regret it! 2020
Annika.. is truly your GAME CHANGER Real Estate Agent and a GODSEND in every sense!!! She can literally C-R-U-S-H( her favorite word :)) any sale... hands down the BEST realtor in ORANGE COUNTY!! I had the pleasure of meeting her almost 2 years before we even decided to sell. Somehow, her brochures via postal mail were more than just marketing/advertising material. I almost felt like she was talking to me through those brochures. I met her at an open house and she is a rare find - such a classy yet simple person and comes across as such a genuine human being even before you get to really know her! Great first impression! 2019 December - we decided to make it official and Annika was our listing agent! Yay! even before we started the official listing - she spent a good 2-3hours walking through a detailed/comprehensive plan. We listened to her at every step and that's my first advice to anyone working/plans to sell with Annika - LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN to her... question her only you want to just understand the detail! Oh boy..she knows every detail to the micro level and I don't know how she remembers everything everytime. I like to call it the Annika magic/WOW factor! She said de clutter - we did it! She said paint the house - we said yes! She said STAGE.. we said yessssss!! She has a vision and you simply need to trust her! She ll get you to the finish line in style! So... Feb 2020.. We are all set... Painted/Staged and 2 open houses later.... COVID lockdown...!! What would've been the most frustrating sale ever was converted into an amazing, positive and above all unbelievable experience! That's where part 2 of the story starts and I call it "Annika the COVID BUSTER"! She came up with a modified plan be it marketing materials/digital marketing/virtual tours/follow up with agents. She was ahead of the game... tweaking strategies and I love Annika's theory of NAVIGATING through challenges :) She is a one-of-a-kind and probably one of the best crisis manager I have ever met! We had a bit of a tough/demanding buyer asking for price drops/buyer credits - but Annika came up with creative ways of negotiating and coming to a mutual agreement without hurting us (seller) financially. She was ahead of every step and I loved how her attention to detail is perfect. It's almost like she sees a problem coming and she takes preventative steps and completely avoids it. She could've said .... Sorry I tried my best but this is it .. you need to decide. Never... she always said ...don't worry I got your back and I will somehow make this happen! She thinks before she promises and never over commits..and once she commits she delivers!! Never a moment of negativity and no matter what a bad day she has had she always holds it together in front of her clients. Amazing professionalism and such positivity is simply admirable. Even though we became friends as things progressed - it was amazing to see how well she balanced being the professional real estate agent yet being that sensitive friend who took the time to make me feel better and that it's all going to be okay. Without a doubt in my mind, this sale would've never happened the way it did during COVID especially at the price it sold for, if not for Annika! It would only be fair to mention that Annika is supported by an amazing team as well. Kristina and Logan work closely with Annika and make sure they deliver everything that was promised to the client. When in doubt they never take chances and make sure to always check in with Annika and get back to the client. A special mention to Annika's escrow point of contact - Terri Cordero - such a fantastic lady to work with. Always on top of the subject and makes sure to get back to our questions. Jeff from the termite company and Art who helped us with the painting job - added all the essential elements especially at the right cost. Our family is ever grateful to Annika and her team to get us to the finish line in style, since we were in the process of relocating and couldn't delay the sale any further. If Annika can get this done in COVID, one can imagine what she can do during non-covid times :) Her track record is impeccable and am so glad she was our selling agent during such tough times!!! Call her, speak to her and when you meet her in person you will receive the most positive vibes and you will be glad you decided to engage her with your real estate projects. She is a breath of fresh air ... every time you speak to her!! Thanks Annika and team... you are simply the BEST!! 2020
She sold our house within ONE WEEK FOR FULL PRICE! Her team is 100% on top of everything and they know what they are doing. If you TRUST her team and do what they say (stage your house!!!) it will sell quickly at top dollar. We are super grateful for their hard work and amazing talent! Would highly recommend to any and all family and friends. 2019
if you need the best realtor in Orange County you need Annika Godfrey. She is knowledgeable, efficient and well prepared. She has her clients best interest at heart. She walked us through each step of the sales process. Annika sold our house in one week. She got us over asking price. Annika and her team were always available with answers to any question we had. We definitely plan on using Annika for our real estate needs in the future. 2019
Thanks to Annika we had the best selling experience EVER! Everything went so smoothly thanks to her knowledge of every aspect of the process from the listing to the close of escrow. She is always ready to answer your questions and deal with your concerns, and you always know she is there to put your mind at ease. This was our second time Annika was our selling agent and we would never trust anyone else with our home. She is THE BEST!!! 2019
This was our second time using Annika as our agent. She is the BEST! She is always responsive to our questions and concerns, and both sales have resulted in record-breaking sales prices! She knows what needs to be done to produce the best result due to her years of experience working with buyers and sellers! We love working with Annika and her team, and would never use anyone else for our Real Estate needs. 2019
Observing Annika successfully selling properties in our local area, I decided she was the right one to work with. Contacting her almost a year before our home went on the market, she made several smart recommendations to prepare our home for sale. Our home went on the market just as it was transitioning from a sellers market to a buyers market. Within a few weeks, Annika recognized what was going on and helped my wife and I work through the adjustments we need to make, to make sure our price reflected market conditions. We regularly discussed the changing market and had full discussions on what would be the best strategy going forward. Accurate feedback on our prospective was always provided. Open houses were held every weekend and we could see many other aspects of the full effort Annika and her team were making to find the right buyer. She followed up with every respective buyer agent who saw our home. When our eventual buyer did show up, she really showed her negotiating skills and was able to handle several delicate issues that less skilled and inexperienced agents would have fumbled. Bottom line-the deal got done! Many agents know how to get to the 20-yard line-Annika knows how to get the touchdowns! Im glad we had her in our corner in a tough market. She got the job done. Would not hesitate to recommend Annika to anybody thinking of selling their home! 2018
Our experience selling our home was harmonious. We never had to list our house because Annika found a buyer just as we were getting ready to put it on the market. Everyone involved was friendly and eager to make this process as easy as possible. Always available to answer questions, always smiles and never made to feel that they were too busy to help us if we needed help. We highly recommend Annika and her team for buying or selling. They did both for us. 2019
My brothers and I recently had to sell our mother's home after she passed away. We are so happy that we chose Annika to help us through this process. Right from the start, I knew we were in good hands and she and her team took care of everything for us. The house needed some TLC and it looked amazing once it went on the market. Sold in just 4 days!! Kudos to Annika for her expertise, tenacity and knowledge of the market. She is the best! 2019
My family and I are soooo fortunate in getting connected with Annika and The Godfrey Group during our search for our home sale broker. It was quite the transition for us but Annika sure made it A LOT less stressful to say the least! Annika was always calm, listening to our every request for information. She was supportive, positive, enthusiastic, immediately responsive to our questions to help us in making a decision. Annika was there for US in every step of the way! She is truly an angel. I couldnt have ever asked for anyone other then her. We would, and will, recommend Annika to anyone in the market to sell or buy a home. We will forever look to Annika when we have any future real estate needs. She is our girl and believe me that she is your girl as well!!!! ***Listen to Annika when it comes to price strategy, even if you think your house is worth more. She will get you more based on what she does, not what you think. We were above and beyond impressed with Annikas professionalism and her true honest genuine interest in assuring we were satisfied with our final decision. Her mentorship, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are extremely respected and appreciated. I never felt that she was just trying to sell my house, but that she was a mentor to answer my questions and help me to make the best decision for my family. The best part of it all is that we now have a new friend - a caring friendship that will continue to grow! 2019

We are grateful to have had Annika assist us with our first home purchase in California. We felt we had a close friend and experienced pro with us throughout the entire journey. Her personalized attention was amazing, especially navigating a rather challenging property. Annika's support, patience and understanding of our needs and timeline played a critical part in our experience, resulting in exactly what we wanted. We look forward to working with Annika again in the future. We are forever grateful. 2019
Annika sold my house exceptionally well during the transition period from a sellers market to a buyers market. I am convinced that because of Annikas top-notch marketing experience, her systems & processes, her negotiating skills & tactics along with her overall intuition, that she was able to sell my house for $39,000 ABOVE what I was willing to take. She also managed to close my house $185,000 higher than a hideous, yet truly a model match up the street, that closed 15 days into our escrow. I was really nervous about that! Annika kept me calm and made me feel safe throughout the entire process from list to close. She has excellent communication skills and is human! I had tried to sell my house a couple of years ago with someone else who was considered an expert.it didnt sell even though we had it listed at a lower price in a better market. Needless to say, I am thrilled it didnt because Annika sold my house at a fantastic price (even during the transition from sellers market to buyers market). If you are thinking of selling or buying just do whatever she recommends. She has a gift and knows how to get it done for you. Trust her and you will come out winning!!!! I know I did!!!! Thank you Annika!!!! Now Im off to travel! 2018
Home selling and buying is incredibly stressful. Calling Annika & The Godfrey Group to help sell our home turned out to be the best decision we could have made. We knew we were getting an experienced, professional with good integrity as well as someone who is genuine and most important - a nice person! Annika and her entire team worked tirelessly to put together a solid plan to sell our home quickly and at the best price. From beginning to end we followed the plan which helped showcase our home for the best buyers. Annika's selling price analysis showed her extensive knowledge of neighboring homes and insight in the market - thus resulting in a final sale well above our original expectations as well as setting a record in our neighborhood. The photographs in our listing made us almost regret selling the place!!! It blew us away getting an offer just hours after the listing went live. We accepted the offer and Annika was always available to advise us every step of the way - all the way up to closing. As we were retiring to Florida, Annika's extensive real estate network resulted in the recommendation of an excellent agent in Florida who worked with the builder and saved additional expense. We put our trust in Annika and her team - and it paid off big time!!! 2018
Annika has a plan and if you follow the plan you will see results. The whole team experience was a positive experience for me. They were so knowledgeable and patient with me. When I had a question they were there ready with the answers. I highly recommend Annika and her team when you are looking for the best realtor for your property. 2018
Annika is amazing and a true pro in every way. She is strategic, super smart and sophisticated. We trusted and followed Annika's recommended "Plan" and she and her Team absolutely delivered beyond our expectations. We have dealt with many realtors over the years in CA and TX and Annika knows how to position a home to sell quickly and achieve record setting pricing. What really sets Annika apart is her authentic ability to create memorable experiences and deep meaningful relationships with her clients. 2018

Annika Godfrey is an absolute legend. She's honestly the best in the business when it comes to selling or buying homes. She will without a doubt sell your home for significantly over the asking price (like $100k+) as she is one of the most skilled agents in staging and marketing a home I've ever met or even heard of. It's incredible!! On the flip side, if you're buying she will likewise close a home for significantly under the asking price as she is also one of the most ingenious negotiators I've ever seen. Literally do whatever you have to do to get her on your side for whatever residential transaction you're looking at, and she will work her magic like no one else. And she (or someone at her level that she personally knows) is able to close houses around the country and even internationally. So hit her up for whatever residential transaction you're looking at and you will thank God you did. Guaranteed! 2018
RED ALERT! Annika and her team are AMAZING! Complete professionals that walked us through the process of selling our home from beginning to end. From the beginning I had full confidence in her based on a close friend who got over asking price for her home. My husband was a little more skeptical. She was always available to answer any questions we had and when our spirits would get low Annika, her sister Kristina, and the rest of the Godfrey Group team would always pick us up.
Annika's plan was spot on from the beginning and we did everything she said including little fixes, painting, and staging and WOW did it paid off tenfold. We literally have a house 6 houses away from us that sold five months ago. We have the same exact model and lot. Now let me say that we do have a view and some nice upgrades but she literally got us 32% more than the comp 6 houses away! Let's just say that it's quite a good chunk of money :) All of the neighbors jaws dropped and are ecstatic that the value of the neighborhood has gone up. Needless to say my husband is now a full believer and we will NEVER do another real estate transaction WITHOUT Annika. I have never had a better experience with anyone in this industry let alone any other industry. In, fact I have never had a better experience with another human in general! If she was a rock star she would be the Bono of real estate!
I am so incredibly grateful we have her and we look forward to doing more business with Annika and her team in the future. She and her sister Kristina are like family to us! So if you want someone to crush it out of the park for you choose Annika Godfrey and the Godfrey Group. And remember TAKE HER ADVICE! Whatever she tells you to do do it and you will not be disappointed! 2018
Overall Annika and her team at the Godfrey group were amazing, and got great results for us.
Annika seems like a natural sales woman and is easy to get along with. She has a high degree of integrity. She did what she said she would do. She was careful not to over promise, but was optimistic and able to deliver great results. She also was knowledgeable about our market and the whole processed of selling a home. She was also professional and had great negotiating skills.
She listens carefully to what her clients want and tries to meet their needs. She also tries to push (convince) her clients when they may be making a mistake. She justifies this with concrete examples to prove her point and sell her experience.
The Godfrey Group Partners with excellent Staging, Photographers, Termite, Contractors and Escrow people to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible. Some of these partners told us that Annika was the best realtor they ever worked with and they all though highly of her. Annika has a great team to help her with the full task of selling a home including all the marketing aspects and day to day gritty tasks that need to get done. She knows how to prioritize what she needs to do herself and what she can assign to other members of her team.
From start to finish: She and her team did a lot of prep work and strategy before even going on the market. They followed every step all the way though closing. The Godfrey group was proactive at preventing problems before they happen. Example 1: Getting the termite inspection and certification before going on the market. Example 2: Setting the price correctly (pricing as a strategy). Example 3: Getting great comps to make sure the appraiser could justify price.
After 2 days on the market Redfin had our house listed as a hot home that it predicted would sell faster than 98% of the homes on the market. We got 2 offers in the first 4/5 days. We singed a contract within 1 week. Got 5K more than asking. 2018
Annika is the only realtor I will ever recommend. We had another realtor come in & tell us what they thought about price & we were told there was no way we would ever get over $500,000 for our house. Annika came in with a plan & believed 100% that if we did what she said we would sell for well over $500,000. She was absolutely right! Within 3 days of our house being on the market we had full ask offers, and within a week we had an all cash offer of $11,000 over ask. Annika made a record sale of $560,000 ($60k above what the other realtor said we could get) with our house for the area. What sets Annika aside from other realtors is she doesn't just throw out numbers & make promises she can't keep. She uses strategy, but most of all she believes in her clients & what she's selling. We can't thank Annika & The Godfrey Group enough for their professionalism and hard work. Selling your home can be stressful enough, but when your house hits the market only a few days before you have a parent die life gets even more stressful. Annika & her team did as much as they could to make the sale of our house as stress free as possible considering what I was going through. I can't thank Annika enough for everything she & her team did for us during one of the most difficult times in my life. She went above and beyond & our family will forever be grateful. You are a rockstar Annika! #crushingitdaily 2017
Our dream home for our family needed to have a craftsman look, a spacious back yard, and walking distance to great schools; not to mention something within our budget. For an entire year, My wife and I, aggressively searched for our dream home. House after house, agent after agent, and disappointment after disappointment, my wife and I were tired, frustrated, and ready to quit; we then met Annika Godfrey, who put the fun back into finding our dream home. n n From the start, we can feel Annika's awesome energy and her positivity was contagious. Soon after meeting Annika we made an offer on our dream home. What's great about Annika is that she is not only a real estate agent; she has an entire team of real estate professionals at her disposal who work synergistically to get the deal done. She has a loan officer, an appraiser, a home inspector, the escrow team, a mobile notary and then some. Not only did Annika have a strong team of experienced professionals, who were all accessible, efficient, and knowledgeable they worked together harmoniously, which made our home buying process seem effortless and stress free. n n Looking back at our home buying experience, I honestly could say that we wouldn't have been able to find our dream home nor would we have been able to close on our home if not for Annika representing us as buyers. Annika's professionalism, experience, and passion are the reasons why she is an amazing agent to have on your side. If you are looking for a dream home, ready to sell your home, or have any real estate needs I strongly recommend Annika. 2017
