Meet Gabriella Godde of California Mortgage Girl

Today we’d like to introduce you to Gabriella Godde.

Hi Gabriella, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
A proud native of Guadalajara, Mexico, I moved to California when I was just two years old. I have been happily married for 25 years. Together, we are blessed with four wonderful children. My journey as an entrepreneur began at the young age of 14, and since 1997, I have dedicated myself to the finance industry.
With over 27 years of experience in lending, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, from first-time homebuyers to seasoned entrepreneurs with complex financial portfolios. My mission is consistent: to provide accurate and insightful information, enabling clients to make informed decisions before entering real estate transactions. I offer detailed estimates of monthly mortgage payments, closing costs, and down payment requirements to ensure a seamless closing process with no surprises.
Listening to the needs and wants of thousands of families over the years has honed my ability to swiftly analyze and recommend the most suitable loan programs to meet their goals. My top priority is to serve the clients best interest at heart.
My faith in Jesus Christ guides my actions both personally and professionally, and I strive to live according to God’s will.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
2010 was the worst year for my business- but if I knew what I know now it would have been much easier.
