The Lighthouse Marketing Institute evaluates agents across four standards: Community Focus, Exceptional Client Care, Creative Marketing, and High Performance. Agents are assessed annually, and recognition is merit-based with no paid placement available. This means Goedtke's inclusion reflects genuine achievement rather than purchased status, adding credibility to her professional profile.

Her profile also cites 189 homes sold and more than $24.4 million in total volume. These metrics demonstrate that her creative approach translates into tangible business results, a key implication for agents seeking to stand out in a competitive market.
A former teacher, Goedtke brings an educational approach to client interactions, helping buyers and sellers better understand the real estate process. She uses creative storytelling to make properties stand out. This blend of education and creativity is increasingly important as consumers seek agents who can guide them through complex transactions while effectively marketing their homes.
Beyond her client work, Goedtke organizes quarterly business-to-business meetings where local business owners connect and learn marketing strategies. She and her family have volunteered with The Banquet, a Sioux Falls organization providing meals and resources to those in need. Such community engagement is a core criterion for the Lighthouse Marketing Institute recognition, signaling that successful agents are expected to contribute to their communities beyond transactions.
