V Subramaniam | Willow Glen Eichler
"We have been working with Eric and Janelle for several years now, they helped us sell our Eichler in Willow Glen, and buy property in Santa Clara. The Boyenga team is absolutely awesome, and in the future they are the team we will look for again when we sell or buy." -

"Eric and Janelle are the best! I had put a lot of work and money into upgrading my home over the years, and they knew how to maximize those positive features/upgrades when marketing and selling my property." -

Tracy T / Buy/Sell / Portola Valley / Willow Glen
Janelle and Eric came highly recommended and we called hoping they could help with a challenging project. We found our dream property in Portola Valley, but it wasn't on the market. The Property Nerds took over, they were able to find the owner, and able to acquire the property but at an amazing price. -
D Hu & S Chen / Palo Alto Homeseller
When my wife and I decided to sell our residence in Palo Alto last year, we interviewed a multitude of agents before deciding to work with Eric & Janelle Boyenga. We felt that they were a very knowledgeable and experienced team, and fully understood our need and goals. Throughout the preparation, launch, sales, and post sales stages, the Boyenga team were very attentive to every detail and, with weekly conference calls and regular emails, always kept us up-to-date on the progress. During the prep stage, they were able to control the improvement budget, monitor the work, and their recommendation proved to be worthwhile investment. The marketing strategy designed and introduced by Eric was impressive, and the time and effort put into the sales drive, including weekly open house and sales calls to agents, were extensive. Even though we all know that late in a year is not always the optimal time for real estate transactions, and 2019 was even more so, the Boyenga team was able to deliver a great transaction with satisfactory return for our investment, which further gave evidence to their skills and determination. After all, in a hot season, anybody can sell a house in Palo Alto.
We were very happy that we chose The champion team. -
M Blaszczyk / Cupertino Homeseller
My house is in Cupertino so I thought it would sell easily with Redfin. When it didn't sell after 4 months on the market I enlisted the Boyenga Team. They brought great knowledge of the Cupertino area and expertise in preparing the home more completely and paid for staging my home. They understand market timing and have sophisticated pricing stategies that made it easier to overcome the objection of the nearby freeway. My house sold in 4 days the second time around at a price over asking with multiple offers. Great job Boyenga Team!!!
Thank you to Eric & Janelle -
J Chu, Los Altos & Sunnyvale Homeseller
As a buyer's representative, they were knowledgeable and fair. Eric's local knowledge was very helpful during our house search and Janelle was very fair in our dealings with the seller. Also, due to the recent market conditions, Janelle advised us to work with her loan specialist in addition to my own. This was good advice because we had difficulty closing the loan with our initial loan agent, especially after the appraisal came in well below the purchase price.
As a seller's representative, they really helped us stage the condo in the best light possible and get the best price. By the time we listed our condo, two other condos with the same floor plan had come on the market. Both of them sold quickly and one of them even had a better location and even better kitchen re-model than ours. Janelle gave us a lot of good advice on removing clutter, re-arranging the furniture, and even timing the open house to avoid any competition. When Janelle and Eric said we may get the highest price in the neighborhood, we didn't believe them. But the final sales price came in at exactly what they had predicted, actually even a few thousand higher.
We bought and sold 5 homes in the past. We usually interview a few agents before we hire one. Janelle and Eric were the first agents we talked to and we chose not to look any further. We'd rate Janelle and Eric as one of the best agents that we have ever worked with.
Escrow closed today on the second of two properties I had Eric & Janelle sell for our family trust. They exceeded my expectations every step of the way during this process. I live in another state and could not be in the Bay Area for every detail so it was very reassuring that Eric & Janelle were so willing and capable of handling everything that needed attention. They oversaw all the cosmetic upgrades that both properties needed which resulted in sale prices that exceeded our expectations. Janelle was excellent in keeping me informed as things progressed. When you hire Eric & Janelle you also get their awesome assistant Paula. Together they are an excellent team. Our association with them has been a wonderful, stress-free experience! -
Tracy R, Willow Glen Seller, Portola Valley Buyer
Janelle and Eric came highly recommended and we called hoping they could help with a challenging project. We found our dream property in Portola Valley, but it wasn't on the market. We asked that they contact the owners and see if we could negotiate a purchase. They were nothing short of AWESOME! Within several days they had made contact with the owners and within several weeks they helped negotiate the purchase! We built and are living in our dream home thanks in large part to Janelle and Eric. After our move, we hired them to sell another property we owned in Willow Glen and closed escrow this month. They are market savvy, communicative, professional, and available. The ability to contact them by phone and get a quick answer when emotions are running high in the midst of a real estate sale was invaluable. They also have a great team. Paula is simply fantastic! -
Margie B, West San Jose Home Seller
I was very fortunate to have Janelle and Eric Boyenga represent me when I put my house in San Jose up for sale. We were just beginning to make plans to list the house and have an open house when the pandemic hit. Nevertheless, Janelle immediately found a buyer on the off-market, and we went through the offer process. At the same time, I made an offer on a house in another part of California. I don't think any of us realized how difficult the whole process would turn out to be, not only because of the constantly changing rules for real estate during the pandemic but also because of multiple delays in the close of escrow, none of them the fault of the Boyengas. I am happy to say that Janelle worked closely with the realtor representing the house I was buying to ensure that my best interests were represented at all times and that I didn't lose that house because of the delays. Janelle went above and beyond expectations during a very tough time for all concerned and was nothing but professional and caring, as well as an excellent communicator. I highly recommend her and the Boyenga team.
