"Our experience was simply amazing!"
My husband and I decided to buy a house in the Rocklin area while living in the DC area. We were referred to The Goolsby Group and our experience was simply amazing! Geoff was a tremendous asset throughout the entire home search process, negotiation, purchase, and closing. We couldn't be happier with our home in Rocklin and we are extremely thankful we chose to work with Geoff, whose knowledge and skills are too numerous to list. He had answers to all of our questions and made himself available even while he was away. Geoff consistently went above and beyond to show us countless houses to ensure we found a home that was a perfect fit for our growing family. Geoff will be the first person we call when we look to move again. Thank you again for everything, Geoff!

Great team, great energy, great results
When you sell your home, you basically have two goals: maximize the price and make the process as painless as possible. The Goolsby Group did an amazing job at both as we worked work them to sell our home in Roseville. Their marketing skills are the first thing you'll be impressed by; noting their great use of social media and targeted marketing to get your house in front of just the right buyers. We really appreciated how well they kept us informed of everything going on via weekly calendar updates and constant phone/text info. The net result was multiple offers over the asking price working a couple of days off listing and a truly painless closing process. Great team, great energy, great results! We'd recommend The Goolsby Group to anyone looking for a wonderful home selling experience!!!

The Martins
Let’s face it, moving is not easy. Sure, it can be exciting, fun, and rewarding. Sometimes you move out of necessity and logic and sometimes you follow your heart. The Martin family has moved a few times during my career. They have nicknamed themselves “frequent flyers” with my group. Lol. Love that.
I think what I love most is that every move was from the heart. They love their family and are passionate about spending as much time with them as possible. So they have literally moved throughout 3 different counties to make spending time with family easier.
As you might imagine, moving multiple times takes a toll on you. It’s not easy and it’s not cheap. So for this most recent move, we had to be strategic. Of course, we needed a buyer that would pay them top dollar for their current home. We also needed one that would not push them out of their current home too soon because then they would incur additional moving costs. We also needed to find a home for them to move to! One that didn’t put too much strain on the budget but we couldn’t go too small. They wanted something unique, in Rocklin, with a view, and under budget… We had our work cut out for us.
When I met with the Martins, we discussed a simple plan for them: First, we prep your home for sale now and wait for you to find the home that fits your wishlist and budget. Next, we launch your home to the market once we have found your perfect home. Then, we sell for top dollar and we buy at a discount. Did we encounter challenges along the way? Of course. Real estate transactions are complex. There will always be a challenge or two. Did they win? The Martins sold their home for $5,000 less than their asking price. They bought a bigger home, in Rocklin, with a view, in an amazing neighborhood for a whopping $25,000 less than asking price and nearly $60,000 less than the comparable homes in the neighborhood.
Did they win? They are approximately 15 minutes away from the grandkids, and back in the area that has been home for the last 30 years and they even have more room for the kids when they sleep over at Grandma and Grandpa's. Perhaps the most important win of all.
If you're serious about selling, be serious about talking to Geoff!
Geoff & Laura were true partners in the sales process, from marketing our home to staying on top of the normal escrow issues that arise. This is the 3rd home we've sold, and by-far this was the best sales experience yet! If you're serious about selling, be serious about talking to Geoff!
The Shaws
The Shaw Family probably had one of our wildest rides towards closing. And definitely our most creative "Win". Their home was staged, photographed and aggressively marketed over 1 long weekend. By Tuesday, we had multiple offers and one buyer in contract to purchase their home. A couple of weeks into escrow and after the Shaw family had already moved out of their home, the buyer experienced a tragedy in the family that caused her to have to back out of her purchase of the Shaw's home.
Challenge 1: We were heartbroken by the news of the buyer's tragedy but also faced with the (very real) reality of a home that was not sold, a new home that had already been moved into and the financial burden of doubling the monthly housing payment.
Challenge 2: Even if when we find another buyer, they would have to wait at least a month to close escrow; a daunting thought. Another month of paying both their mortgage and their new rent.
Solution: Find a buyer to buy their home that would also be willing to move into the home and pay rent while they wait for escrow to close.
Of all of the people that were interested in their home, one had been previously overlooked. There was a young family that loved the home but wasn't able to purchase due to some timing constraints. This family was not only willing to purchase their home at a fair price but was also willing to compensate them rent in exchange for being able to move into the home before the closing of escrow.
It was truly a WIN-WIN for both parties.
The Bames
The Bame family was outgrowing their home, quickly. They were the original owners of their first home. When they first bought, the idea of kids was just that, an idea. Fast forward a decade and the reality of growing family, a neighborhood that was beginning to lose some of the original appeals, and the glamorous idea of a shiny new home started to take form within the house. We put a plan together to get them out of the fading neighborhood and into a home that had some serious longevity.
The plan, get the home sold now for top dollar. Move into a short term rental. Wait for a brand new home to be built.
The Bames sold their home in less than 2 weeks for full price. After a swift closing, they were on their way to a short term apartment rental where they would wait to find the forever home. We found an emerging community in Natomas and they absolutely fell in love with a brand new floorplan. So did I, to be honest. It fit everything they needed and once again, they were able to pick the finishes that they wanted. Only this time, with the experience of a second-time homeowner. This new home will continue to be their dream home for years to come.
After they moved in, we talked about their success in real estate. I wasn't even aware of how well we had done. "We have been watching the old neighborhood," Christina started, "and nobody in that neighborhood has been able to sell for as much as we did!"
Did they win? Sold for a record high in the old neighborhood. Purchased the dream home in an emerging new neighborhood that has continued to trend upwards in value.

We are "frequent flyers" with Geoff, and there's a reason we keep coming back: he's been just awesome for us! He knows what we want, and has helped us find homes to fit the bill. We had particularly challenging negotiations with buyers and sellers, and he handled all with grace and professionalism. Laura is wonderful as well, and extremely responsive - really liked her Tuesday updates. They know the market well, and we couldn't recommend them more highly. Thanks guys!!
Their support staff are wonderful, so helpful, and above all professional.
The Goolsby Group is amazing! I called Geoff right after Christmas to look at a house. He made it happen and I made an offer that same day. I was in contract within 3 days. Their support staff are wonderful, so helpful, and above all professional. They had my deal done and ready to close in approx. 20 days. I think the one thing that stands out is the communication. I always knew what was happening and where we were in the process. I would not consider using anyone else in the area and would highly recommend them to anyone.

They went above and beyond, I got more for my house than I expected and I will definitely use The Goolsby Group again as well as recommend them to others. Job well done!
We think The Goolsby Group is Awesome!
They helped us with selling and buying our new home. We met Geoff at an open house, we really liked his warm and friendly, easy going personality. He was very patient with us, we were not in a hurry and knew what we wanted. We never felt any pressure as we waited for our perfect house to come on the market, which was about a 6 month wait. The whole process went very smoothly, we enjoyed working with the whole team, everyone was very easy to work with and professional. Their assistant Laura was Awesome, always just a text away to answer any questions. We would definitely recommend them and would use them again, but do not plan on moving for a very long time!

We are forever grateful and would highly recommend Geoff to anyone selling or buying a home
We were first time home buyer and purchased our home Dec 2015. Geoff ensured the process was explained to the fullest and made sure we were always informed anything that needed to be done. We were caught during the holiday season so our paperwork ran slower than usual but Geoff came through and handed us keys on Christmas Eve. He made the process less stressful and to top it off he setup up a Christmas Tree in our new home. We are forever grateful and would highly recommend Geoff to anyone selling or buying a home.

"Geoff got us a WIN!"
Geoff Goolsby was amazing and awesome to work with, as first time home buyers he was there to answer all our questions either in person or over the phone. Being first time home buyers we had a lot of questions, hopefully we didn't drive him to crazy(mainly my husband, lol) we also were moving from the Bay Area to Roseville. So there were a lot of calls being made. Geoff was always calm and professional and there for us every step of the way. Plus we did this in December(Merry Christmas!) Geoff got us a WIN! We got the house below asking price, and got the key the beginning of January.Thanks Geoff and Laura too! She was awesome too! We highly recommend Geoff Goolsby and Team.
