About Veranda Homes
Building exceptional homes in exceptional locations since 2000
Building exceptional homes in exceptional locations since 2000
Veranda Homes was founded in 2000 by Marci Surfas with a vision to create exceptional living spaces that blend luxury, comfort, and thoughtful design. What began as a small venture in Laguna Beach has grown into a respected real estate development and management firm with properties in both California and Louisiana.
With over two decades of experience in the industry, we've built a reputation for exceptional quality, attention to detail, and creating spaces that truly feel like home. Our expertise includes luxury home building in California and student rental properties in New Orleans.
In 2024, Marci and her husband Mark launched Veranda Capital, a private equity firm dedicated to providing investors with highly-profitable, reliable returns in real estate. Veranda Capital currently owns and operates over $30M in assets.
At Veranda Homes, we believe that a home is more than just a building—it's a foundation for life's most precious moments. That's why we pour our hearts into every project, ensuring that each property we develop meets our exacting standards and exceeds our clients' expectations.
