A note from our broker
Welcome to Surroundings.
Welcome. Whether you are helping a parent move, moving on your own, selling a home you have lived in for decades, or looking for a home with some character, I’m glad you found us.
I’m Maggie, the broker and owner. I have been originating home loans since 2003 and have run my own real estate business as an independent agent since 2006; in 2023 I opened Surroundings. We are a different kind of real estate company for Sacramento: not only the home and the loan, but the people in this community who stand behind both. I built this team to fit the gaps, so you get one plan from one team.
We never take placement or referral fees from any community or care provider, and nothing here is ever rushed. Take your time, ask your questions, and let us walk beside you.

Maggie and Rachel both list and sell homes and work every Well MOVED move together. Maggie brings the lending and the planning; Rachel brings the design eye and the preparation.

What most agents miss.
The psychology behind the listing
Almost any home gets an offer. The best one is decided before anyone walks in.
What they see
Most buyers meet your home on a screen first, so the photos, the film and the words come first.
What they feel
People feel a home before they measure it. We edit each room to answer their quiet questions.
Who knew
A launch day, targeted ads and more than a hundred neighbors invited, so the right people are watching.

From the Human Thomas Guide to Sacramento
Which Sacramento personality are you?
Hey, I’m Rachel. Born and raised in Sacramento. I’m called the Sacramento Human Thomas Guide, because I know this town neighborhood by neighborhood and sometimes street by street. Whether you’re moving across town or relocating here, let me help you find your Sacramento personality. No folding paper maps required. Have fun with this quiz.

- The Porch SitterShade, front steps, and an evening outside.
- The City WandererYou want the world within walking distance.
- The Trail WalkerWater, trees, and a path out the back door.

Our mission
A relationship, never a transaction.
We treat every client as a long-term relationship. Real estate and lending under one roof, so a major transition has fewer moving parts and less stress.
Where we are headed
A Sacramento where the daughter in Carmichael, the first-time buyer in Midtown and the neighbor right-sizing in Fair Oaks each have someone to call, long before closing day and long after it.
