Chelsea Barraco is still a relatively new transplant to Arizona from New York State. Prior to mortgage lending Chelsea was a real estate agent in New York and Arizona- working with investors, flippers, and home buyers as well as navigating difficult short sales, foreclosures, and the sale of multi family properties.
Chelsea had a realization in 2021 that there was a need for a more hands-on, client-focused mortgage lender from her experience as a realtor and made the decision to step into that role. Her passion for education and attitude of service makes for a better experience for home buyers navigating a purchase in difficult market conditions like we are experiencing now.
Outside of mortgage lending Chelsea is very active in several, local non for profit organizations in the valley, as charity has always been her primary focus. Chelsea participates in equine therapy classes for adults and children with physical and cognitive disabilities, cares for abused and neglected horses at a sanctuary, and delivers meals to homebound people with cancer.

MHG Commercial is the commercial division for My Home Group real estate. We saw a need for our residential agent partners to have a resource they could trust to send their clients to.
Our team collectively brings nearly 100 years of experience in real estate and many other business experiences to sell and lease $47 Million in commercial sales and pay $198,000 in partner referrals.
Carla Magee’s background is designed with the investor in mind. After obtaining her finance degree from the University of Washington in Seattle, she worked for large corporations like Boeing and Microsoft. With a critical eye and a flair for analytics, she was able to shave millions in lost profits, managing cross-functional teams by utilizing her Green Belt in Six Sigma and Masters Certification in Project Management.
Ultimately she realized that she couldn’t be contained in an office environment working for the corporate world. Being an investor herself, she came into real estate as an investment specialist, helping investors make sound decisions for their financial goals.

After 20 years in the Pacific Northwest, Jake D’Angelo had enough of the rain! Spending most of his life outside of Portland, Oregon Jake grew to love the summer season. Unfortunately, for the rest of the year he knew he was missing something (sunshine 😊). Having lived in Arizona for a few years during his youth, Jake always had a fascination and a love of the desert, so it was only a matter of time that he made my way back.
After high school, Jake recognized that a 4 year college was not in the cards. It was at this same time in his life that he decided to become a Volunteer Firefighter with the city of Dundee, OR. Jake went on to obtain his NFPA Firefighter 1 and EMT-Basic certifications, as well as spending time in the roles of President and Vice president of the Volunteer Association. This time spent in fire service really shaped his love for helping people and after his first home purchase, Jake decided he wanted to get into Real Estate.
Since moving to Arizona and becoming a full time Real Estate Agent, Jake went on to join the National Association of REALTORS®, Arizona Association of REALTORS® and the West and Southeast Valley REALTORS®
Jake believes in relationships over transactions strives to make strong relationships with whomever he assists be it a first-time home buyer, relocation, veteran, or person looking to downsize. Jake also collaborates with a great group of Lenders to find the best possible loan options for the client.
If you hang around Jake’s Facebook page long enough you will realize 2 things. 1) He’s a bit of a goof ball. 2) he loves dogs! Jake donates a portion of his commission on each sale to local animal rescues here in the Valley.
