Ani Golovko

Ani Golovko is a trusted advocate for buyers and sellers across the East Bay, supporting many families relocating from San Francisco and beyond. With nearly two decades of experience in finance and leadership roles at high-growth startups through IPO, Ani brings a strategic, data-driven approach to real estate, paired with calm, decisive guidance in high-pressure moments. Her clients value her clear communication, sharp negotiation skills, and steady presence throughout every stage of the process.

Ani’s passion for real estate began with the purchase of her first home. By combining market insight with thoughtful design improvements, she more than doubled its value. That experience sparked a decade-long journey as a buyer, seller, renovator, and investor. Today, Ani draws on that firsthand experience to help clients identify opportunities, navigate complexity, and make confident, well-informed decisions in one of the country’s most competitive markets.

What truly sets Ani apart is the care and intention she brings to her work. She is deeply committed to personalized, efficient service and takes pride not only in strong results, but in building lasting relationships grounded in trust and transparency.

Ani lives in Walnut Creek with her husband, Val, and their two children. As a family, they embrace an active East Bay lifestyle, spending time biking, hiking, swimming, and exploring local restaurants and neighborhoods. Ani looks forward to helping clients find not just a home, but a community that truly fits the life they want to live.
