Built on results, Candace and AJ Samrai lead one of Greater Sacramento’s fastest-growing luxury teams. 

As the force behind the Samrai Properties Group, they specialize in luxury real estate and have closed over $50 million in sales in just 16 months.

Candace is an accomplished real estate advisor and founder of the Samrai Properties Group, with over a decade of experience in competitive markets, including Orange County, West LA, and Austin, TX. Throughout her career, she has led elite groups, including the number one team with Compass in Orange County, and worked alongside the number one team in West LA. With a background spanning over $7 billion in team sales and more than $150 million in total personal sales, Candace returned to Roseville, CA, where she and her husband, AJ, established their own team to represent the region’s finest estates and horse properties.

AJ Samrai, a real estate professional and co-founder of the Samrai Properties Group, brings a dynamic background in wealth management, asset allocation, and venture capital. Originally from the UK, he started his career in Silicon Valley at just 20, helping build a fintech giant. Known for his analytical, strategic, and personable approach, AJ is the best realtor choice for clients who seek an advisor with a comprehensive understanding of both real estate and long-term wealth strategies. 

Together in their first year since launching, they have secured their status as a top realtor team - ranking among the Top 500 Agents in the Sacramento area and Top 1% of the Sacramento Association of Realtors, with an average sale of $1.5M. Known for a white-glove service model, they manage every aspect of the process – from preparing homes for sale with high-end staging to tailored digital marketing – leveraging elite networks like GUIDE and Forbes Global Properties.

TESTIMONIAL

Proven results and personal attention – see why Samrai Properties is rated the best realtor team in Greater Sacramento.

Candace & AJ Samrai (4)

“We are really impressed by the Samrai Properties Group. Candace and AJ worked closely with us on all stages of our real estate sale: from initial assessment to suggestions for our home's presentation and staging, to its listing. Candace and AJ are an amazing team who make it a point to get to know the neighborhood, its demographics, and how to best pitch the property to the folks most likely to purchase a home in the area. Their attention to detail and aesthetics have been genuinely appreciated. Moreover, they were open to discussion of their marketing strategy and kept us duly apprised of any progress and new trends and developments. With their knowledge of real estate, modern technology, and of the ever-evolving social landscape, Candace and AJ have provided a concierge-type service to make all aspects of selling our home a lot easier. We are very happy with our decision to go with the Samrai Properties Group.”

Stop waiting for a “perfect” market that doesn’t exist. 

The headlines want you to be afraid, but the data tells a different story. Real estate isn’t about timing the market; it’s about time in the market. While others are sitting on the sidelines waiting for rates to hit rock bottom, savvy buyers are securing homes now before the spring competition potentially drives prices even higher. 
You can always refinance a rate, but you can’t change the price you paid for your home.

Don’t let the headlines scare you—get the facts. Contact us today and let’s make 2026 your year of homeownership!

Views this breathtaking are rare, but finding them is my expertise.

It feels safe to price high. It feels like you’re protecting your investment. But in reality, an inflated price is just a “Keep Out” sign for the very buyers who are most ready to move.

When you miss that initial window of excitement, you aren’t just losing time—you’re losing leverage. Competition drives prices up; stagnation drives them down.

The takeaway: Don’t let your “safety net” become the barrier that keeps your home on the market. 

If you’re ready for a pricing strategy that actually moves the needle, let’s talk.

Our El Dorado Hills clients were planning for a February launch, but we didn’t wait. By tapping into our agent network, we found a buyer who knew this was the one before the sign even hit the yard.

The Result:
•Full price offer secured.
•Zero days on market.
•A record-breaking $1.1M sale, crushing the nearest neighborhood comparable by $135,000.

Success in this market is about working with agents who are well-connected and always working for you. If you are thinking of selling, let’s see if your buyer is already in our database.
