Meet Glen Godlonton and the Team

Welcome to Our Team

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial and personal decisions you’ll ever make. Every home purchase is not just a place to live—it’s an investment. That’s why choosing the right real estate team matters. With the right experience, resources, and guidance, we’ll show you how to maximize your investment. Even if this is your first home, making the right choices in location, zoning, neighborhood, and property type can affect your future return by tens of thousands of dollars, sometimes over $100,000. With our guidance, the process can be stress-free, and we want to help you maximize your return.

At the Glen Godlonton Real Estate Team, we put our clients first. Our mission is to educate and guide our clients through every real estate decision, building trust and relationships that last a lifetime.
