WHO WE ARE

The Lockhart Bailey Team is a top real estate group who has completed over 3,000 transactions. They have served Placer, Sacramento, El Dorado, Yuba and Sutter counties since 1996.


It all began when single mom, Rindy Merrifield, wanted to leave her 23 year long job as a dental hygienist to build her dream career in real estate. Her high energy, business acumen and local knowledge paid off as she quickly became a top agent.

“My secret to success is this,” Rindy explains, “I truly care. I get to know my clients. I listen to what they need, and I do more than they expect. That’s how you build trust and do business based on referrals.”


Her approach paid off. After completing an incredible 125 transactions her rookie year, she was on her way to the career of her dreams. Eventually, she asked her son, Mike, to join her business.


After a 17 year career with UPS, Mike Bailey had risen to division manager on their executive team. He had a BA in Economics and a Master’s in Business Administration. But something was missing.


“I was excellent at transactional business but traveled too much to keep community,” Mike explains. “I knew it was time to use my skill in a way that put relationships at the center. Real estate was the perfect opportunity.”


“Team Rindy” took off and was soon offered appearances on TV and radio. They organized annual Rocklin garage sales which grew so large they brought shopping pilgrims from across the country!


Eventually, their team was four offices strong, serving Roseville, the Bay Area and Sacramento.


“Again, it came back to relationships,” Rindy explains. “Mike knew it was time to sell our company so we could go back to our roots. The timing was perfect to recenter our business around a family approach because our family was growing!”


Mike grew his family and his business by proposing to Emily Lockhart! With her extensive experience in high level customer service, executive administration and sales, Emily quickly became the top agent on the team. She has over 75 five-star reviews on Zillow.


The team continues to grow with stellar local agents who receive hands on training and benefit from the approach Rindy instituted all those years ago. “We tell all our clients and friends, our legacy is building your legacy through real estate.”
