Shaina Goedtke

As a former teacher, she has taken the creativity and passion she once brought to the classroom and transformed it into a real estate brand that truly stands out.

That shows up in how she builds community among her peers, too. She hosts quarterly business-to-business meetings where local owners network with one another, train on effective marketing tactics, and grow a community of their own.

It also showed up at The Banquet in Sioux Falls, where volunteers serve more than 200,000 free meals a year to anyone who walks through the door, no questions asked. Shaina brought her husband Jeremy and their boys to volunteer as a family. "It's easy to talk about kindness and giving back to your community, but I wanted them to experience it for themselves," she says. The Banquet has served Sioux Falls since 1985, and runs almost entirely on private donations and volunteers — connecting guests with housing, employment, and medical resources along the way. "Loving your community isn't just something you say, it's something you DO," Shaina says. "I'm grateful we get to raise our kids in a place that truly shows up for one another."

Her property tours regularly pull 100,000+ views. Her infectious personality makes clients feel informed, confident, and excited every step of the way — and for her, nothing beats watching first-time homebuyers realize homeownership is within reach, and seeing their faces when they get the keys.

Her creativity, consistency, and commitment to both her clients and her community make her shine.
