Eric, Janelle and the Boyenga Team provided excellent service from start to finish. I was impressed by the Boyenga's strategy at our introductory meeting and they continued to meet and exceed my expectations throughout the sales process. In addition to their in-house expertise, they also have an excellent network of craftsman that can provide the finishing touches to optimize your home's value. I would highly recommend this team.

I highly recommend the Boyengas team! Janelle Boyenga took the time to talk to me at length about my home-buying plans. Even in this crazy market, we were able to have our second offer accepted due to her expertise & ability to negotiate with the sellers agent. In the end, we got a single-family house we love within our budget, which we thought was an impossible task at the outset!

After meeting with 3 agents to represent us in our sale, we ultimately chose Janelle and Eric Boyenga and we could not be happier. They listened intently to our wishes and advised us on what our home would need to maximize our sale. They even project-managed our fix and upgrade list. I highly recommend the Boyenga team.

Shilpa is wonderful agent, very humble and very professional. She helped us for almost 6 months to find our homes. She provided us valuable feedback on valuation , location and condition of the property. She did not try to sell us but rather took our preference to look for homes for us. We bought our current home with her as an agent. I will be happy to work with her again if need be.

Shilpa was very supportive and patient throughout the entire search for a new home. Sometimes the search came to a halt but she was never pushy. I appreciate her honesty and she is always there for us to answer questions before and after the purchase. Thank you Shilpa!

I highly recommend the Boyengas team and in particular Naoko! The first call I placed to the agency was answered by one of the founders, Janelle Boyengas, and she took the time to talk to me at length about my home-buying plans. I was introduced to Naoko Amaya shortly thereafter, and as first-time buyers, we could not have asked for a better experience. From helping us connect with an excellent mortgage broker to closing, Naoko was there to help us every step of the way. When we wanted to tour more homes more aggressively, she brought in an excellent and wonderful associate realtor, Suzy Cho, to help us. Together, they organized and attended multiple touring days, accompanying us on every walkthrough and patiently taking notes for us. Naoko is knowledgeable about all aspects of bay area real estate and knew exactly how to position us to be able to get an offer accepted. Even in this crazy market, we were able to have our second offer accepted due to her expertise and ability to negotiate with the sellers agent. In the end, we got a single-family house we love within our budget, which we thought was an impossible task at the outset! Highly highly recommend.

My husband and I were looking to buy our first home in the Bay Area and connected with Shilpa through an online search. We could not have found a better realtor to help us through this very complicated and stressful process! Shilpa was extremely responsive from Day 1 and took the time to understand what we were looking for. We ended up making an offer on a house 4 days after we met her but even in this short span of time she helped us see multiple homes in different locations so we could get a better idea of what was available and be confident of the decision to make an offer on the house we liked. Shilpa was constantly in touch with us and explained each part of the process patiently. She worked on creating multiple offers for the house and when we got into a bidding war, negotiated well with the buyer’s agent to ensure we won the bid. The lender we worked with was not great and it was a stressful few days in the run up to closing. Shilpa went above and beyond to not only to constantly communicate with us and help us understand the various options we had, but also keep following up with the lender on the status of the loan. She also worked closely with the escrow agents and buyers agent to make sure we were all prepared to have an expedited closing. We felt very supported by Shilpa the entire time, not just as a realtor but as someone we could rely on as a friend. Even after moving into the house, Shilpa has continued to be in touch to make sure we feel settled in and have the right contacts for any additional services we need for the house. Shilpa has a great work ethic and is committed to seeing her clients confident and happy with the purchase they have made. We recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking to buy a house.

I just closed on a sale with Sandy and she is a dream to work with! From the listing preparation to the close of escrow, Sandy works diligently and always has my best interest at heart. Within a day of listing on the market, Sandy managed to get 2 very strong pre-emptive offers for me, both well exceeded my expectations. Sandy negotiated with the buyer to make sure that we took the highest offer with the best terms. The transaction was a tough one due to some unforeseen issues, but I'm so grateful that Sandy was always there for me to look out for my best interest and to help me figure out the best solution. We finally closed on the sale and I couldn’t have done it without Sandy!

Sandy helped us sell our home. We were looking for the best agent to sell our home for the best price. In addition, we knew nothing about how the selling market was. She helped us and gave us advice on what to expect through the selling process. We had not sold a home ever so we really appreciated her insight and guidance in getting the house ready so it would look great. We needed repairs and she also introduced us to the contractors for flooring, painting, gardeners and cleaning person. She helped us with explaining every aspect until closing on the house. Our house sold for more money than anyone else's on the block. Sandy is kind, patient and has a great sense of humor even when we told her how nervous we were about selling. She calmed us down and always made us laugh. We really appreciate Sandy and recommend her to anyone looking for a 5-Star agent!

Sandy Albanese was referred to me by a close friend. Sandy helped me every step of the way to an excellent result. I appreciated her knowledge and patience. Sandy had a group of professionals to assist and get the condo in selling condition. Sandy called and emailed to update any change in status as it happened.

Shilpa helped us buy our second house. She helped us navigate through pros and cons of different neighborhoods and helped us make informed decisions about choosing the neighborhoods to focus on. She was very patient with us through out our search and never pushed us into making decisions quickly.

Shilpa is a skillful negotiator and was able to get us a good price even in this crazy seller's market. After the offer was accepted, she helped us get in touch with good lender and the process was very smooth. All through the closing day, Shilpa was involved and helped us line up everything so that we could move in easily.

Overall, I found that knowledge Shilpa has over the region is unmatched. I have worked with few real estate agents in the past and Shilpa has been the best. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy/sell a house.

In connection with the sales of our home, Eric and Janelle listened to our needs. They worked with our requirements and/or offered reasonable solutions. Their presentation of the selling (to closing) process was thorough, clear and concise, and we were never surprised with new, unknown info. During the process, we had numerous on-going questions and Janelle was responsive to our inquiries. We felt Janelle and Eric did a great job as a (our) listing agent. We recommend Janelle and Eric.

Victoria help me to purchase an investment house in Sacramento and help me to find a tenant before the escrow was closed. Victoria were great to talk with. Every process was smooth. She always responds in a fast and timely manner with all the concerns that I had regarding analysis for the trend of the housing market. She put incredible effort to keep the deal from breaking apart and pushed it through. I cannot be more fortunate to have Victoria on my side.

Thank you Sandy for helping us purchase our very first home in the Bay Area! Everyone always says that buying a home can be the most stressful time in life... However, working with Sandy made us question whether that is true!

Coming into it, we knew nothing about the process in buying, but Sandy was always there to answer questions, and help us every step of the way.

What's even better was that Sandy was always working with our schedule. It felt that no matter what time we had texted, or called her, she was always available.

She has such a great attitude and tone, that we never once felt intimidated to ask her just about anything with respect to the home buying process.

Sandy also has a great personality and makes us feel all at ease. Because of that, it became less stressful to go through the process in buying a home.

Sandy is amazing to work with. As first-time home buyers, we did not know much about the process. Sandy helped us navigate through all the procedures of home buying. It is well known that buying a house in the bay area is a daunting task. But Sandy made it so much easier for us. She was there to show us houses, sometimes scheduling at the last moment so that we did not miss an opportunity. She answered all our questions, however silly they were. She quickly understood what we were looking for. After showing us several houses in the Mountain View area, we were able to close on a beautiful house. Now, I recommend Sandy because she was in constant touch even after we moved into our new place. She went above and beyond to make sure we are comfortable in the new house. Sandy never dismissed any of our issues as 'not important' or 'I am not responsible for this issue'. She made sure that we get settled comfortably. She has spoken to several people on behalf of us to resolve our problems during and after the closing. We can assure you that you will have a great experience working with her.

We’re writing this review on the very day that we receive our keys to our new home. Our family and friends had told us that as first time homebuyers, the process could be arduous, but our experience was smooth sailing because of Shilpa’s expertise. From our first meeting with her, Shilpa’s profound knowledge about this often dizzying market and her well-researched insights into the specific property that we fell in love with put us at ease. She was even more protective of our budget than we were and safeguarded a true investment from what could have become an overly emotional purchase. Shilpa worked up multiple bidding strategies and negotiated for us like a chess grandmaster. Before our offer was submitted among multiple bids, she had built rapport with the listing agent so that our offer was packaged inside an established relationship of trust. We even heard through the grapevine that the listing agent flat out said that we won the competition because of Shilpa. For closing, she introduced us to a team of skilled and responsive professionals from our lender to our home warranty issuer. Throughout the thirty days, Shilpa helped us to stay on track with a detailed timeline so we didn’t miss a single step. She was always quick to reply to every single question we had, and she often made herself available on calls with other parties involved if we knew that we may encounter a term or a process that we didn’t understand. “Ask Shilpa” was a commonly used phrase between us for a few weeks! When we decided to have some work done in our new bathroom, Shilpa went the extra mile to arrange and attend meetings with contractors and provided guidance on selection until we chose the right team for our project. All the while she gave time- and money-saving recommendations without any pressure about items ranging in size from appliances to quarter rounds. While our experience with Shilpa was as first-time homebuyers, she most certainly advocates for buyers and sellers at all rungs of the property ladder. When we are ready for our next rung, we know we will turn to each other with smiles on our faces and say, “Ask Shilpa.” A dream was realized today, a dream that very possibly wouldn’t have yet come true without Shilpa.

We were first time home buyers and had a very large search radius. Naoko helped us view over 20 houses all over the bay area and she accompanied us to all locations that we were interested in, some of which required more than an hour of driving each way. She also introduced us to new locations that we had not considered before but turned out to be very appealing to us.
One thing that we loved about her as our agent was that she was very patient and we never felt pushed to speed our search or make a rash decision. Moreover, Naoko was very prompt in responding to our text messages and she was readily available for phone calls.
She was a very polite and joyful person to work with and we are very happy with our home purchase.

- Great to work with
- Very responsive
- Good local knowledge of area
- Provided valuable guidance during all stages of the buying process
- Helped us bid the right amount

Victoria is amazing!!!
She helped find our dream house.
She is one of the hardest working realtors I have ever met. She goes beyond 100% for her clients. She is knowledgeable of current real estate trends, the process that is involved in buying our home and is in constant communication during the entire experience. She is the ultimate professional as well as being personable. She is a joy to work with! I highly recommend her.

Sandy has exceptional knowledge of the local real estate market and knew our neighborhood very well. She put together a marketing plan that effectively highlighted the attributes of our home, property, and neighborhood. She guided us through preparing the house for sale. With advice on what we thought needed to be done but she said wasn't important (saving us time) and pointed out a few simple things we could do that would help with presentation of the house. She understood our priorities and worked hard to find not just a buyer but the 'right' buyer. Once on the market it sold very quickly with an offer better than we expected (both price and terms). Plus she found a buyer that seemed interested in being a long-term resident and would be a good neighbor to the friends we were leaving, which was very important to us. During the whole process she was always available when we had questions, and went the extra mile to look after the house while it was vacant, even gathered up the mail for us. From the very first meeting we were comfortable working with her. What can be a quite stressful process went very smoothly. When glitches did come up she calmly dealt with them and kept things moving on track. Based on our experience we can highly recommend Sandy.

Trupti is by far one of the most helpful, energetic and patient realtors I’ve worked with. We went through dozens of homes before finalizing one, and not once did trupti force us into making decisions fast. In fact: she totally helped keeping us in check and making sure we aren’t over paying for anything. Unlike others I’ve worked with, Trupti’s help didn’t end there. All the way through loan approvals, follow up, closing etc, she was always there ensuring and making sure the loan was progressing on time. We had very minimal home selection to do, since Trupti used to diligently send us homes every day if not twice. I will gladly work again with her in a heartbeat. I can promise you’ll be in good hands.

Chris was amazing! He helped us through each part of the process with positivity and a smile! He was very responsive even in the late hours (sorry) and if he didn’t know the answer he would take the extra step to find it for us. Chris was very honest with us which is huge for me and because of that we trusted his opinions and judgements. Thank you for making this process super easy. Thank you for making us feel confident cause we knew if we can’t figure it out we can ask Chris! There are too many things to thank him for so we’ll stop here, but Chris is an amazing agent and we were blessed to have him for this journey.

Chris was the perfect agent for my wife and I as first time buyers. Throughout the entire process he helped to set appropriate expectations, shed light on the local knowledge in the various locations we looked, and most importantly, went at our pace. At no point did we feel rushed, forced, or in the dark about anything during the process. Sometimes the differentiator when you purchase a home it's the person you're working with, and without a doubt that was the case with Chris. I look forward to the day I'm able to work with him again but until then I can't recommend him enough to our friends and colleagues.

Professional and warm hearted. Going out her way to help. Accurate and fast market support. Very responsive. Learning about customers interest and preference. Honest opinion. Very patient

I had the pleasure of working with Darcy and Bobby while renovating and selling a house in the bay area. I have sold a number of houses across the country, and this team was by far the most proactive and professional of any that I have ever worked with. There were several strategic decisions that had to be made, and they advised me correctly on every one of them. Once on the market, the house sold in a matter of weeks for more than the asking price. Their understanding of the market in these uncertain times was remarkable. What made it even more incredible was that I no longer live in California and had to sell the house long-distance. Darcy and Bobby are consummate professionals, and I feel extremely fortunate to have found them!

Worked with Darcy and Krystal to buy our first home in the bay area. Responsive, patient, knowledgeable and super friendly. Very happy to have worked with this awesome team. The whole process seemed rather intimidating starting out but they made the whole thing much more manageable.

Working with Shaina was a pleasure. She went above and beyond to make our buying experience as smooth as possible. We would highly recommend her services.

"Sandy is very loving and friendly and took a lot of interest to understand our needs and concerns, she was always available to answer our questions that we had as fist time buyers. She is very knowledgeable with the local communities helping us to make a good decision in regards to the right location for us. Sandy also made her self available to answer any questions even after our home purchase. We look forward in reaching out to Sandy in the future if we decide to sell and purchase again. We highly recommend Sandy."

Sandy was extremely helpful guiding us through our journey to purchase our first home. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and always eager to answer our many questions. We highly recommend her!

- Justin and Allison

Sandy listed and sold my home in just a few weeks. The whole process went very smoothly because of Sandy. The professionalism and the consideration she demonstrated to me was very much appreciated and reassuring, she made the whole transaction a breeze. I will diffidently recommend Sandy to anyone who find themselves in need of a Realitor. Sandy is a great negotiator and excellent to work with, she is simply the best!!

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.

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!

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!

Trupti has a great attitude and very patient with us as first time home buyers.
She has a good insights into the entire process and continues to help after closing on the house.

Bobby represented us as the buyer and did a fantastic job! He has a thorough understanding of the local market and combined with his experience, we were able to successfully purchase a home in an extremely sought out location. Our search ended up in the middle of COVID which was a very difficult and unprecedented time. Despite the challenges, he was still able to help us strategize so that we could win the offer. We felt he was always looking out for our best interest throughout the negotiations such as advising us not to submit the highest amount we could pay but to bid with a smart amount to win. Also we felt Bobby went the extra mile and gave us the competitive edge by doing studies over the neighborhood, reaching out to his network, understanding the seller, and to even converse with the selling agent for more information. I believe providing those extra steps were instrumental to us succeeding.

I highly recommend Bobby to assist with either your sale or purchase of a new home. Thank you Bobby!

Victoria was incredibly helpful in the process of purchasing our new home. She responded quickly, was very timely in managing each step of the process, and was instrumental in helping us craft a perfect offer that was accepted on the first try.

Bobby was my listing agent for my home in Belmont last summer. He put my house on the market just at the outset of the COVID-19 lockdown last Spring. Needless to say, we had a tough few months as buyers stayed home and were not in the mood to shop for new homes. Bobby was very professional and provided helpful guidance through those long months. Buyers finally came out in late July and August and Bobby provided timely advice and a good strategy. We were able to sell the home for a good price. It wasn't easy. This was the kind of market where good realtors stand out from the rest of the pack. Bobby is a good realtor, and I would recommend him to anyone selling or buying a home.

We used Bobby to find a home in Boulder last summer and he was nothing short of outstanding.

He bent over backwards to accommodate our hectic schedule, served as an incredible beacon of knowledge on multiple fronts, and demonstrated otherworldly patience to help us find our perfect forever home (in a hot Boulder market).

Bobby is a creative problem solver, quick on his feet, and you would be hard pressed to find a better realtor.

Thank you Bobby!

Sandy was really helpful, my fiancé and I just bought our first home and stumbled upon Sandy by chance when we first started to look at homes. She really helped guide us through the process and was our champion who ensured that we have a fighting chance in all the offers we made. Would definitely recommend her service, it was a pleasure working with Sandy!

We had a wonderful experience with this real estate agent. We have a home now because of her. Let me tell specific incidents to justify our highest rating for her.
1. We found a house that needed some work to be done. She arranged for a free estimate from two contractors (yes, not one but two for comparisons).
2. On another house we pushed her for multiple private tours but decided to cancel on making the offer at the last minute.. this agent was not even slightly affected. She understood our reasons and promptly came back with other properties the very next day.
3. On another house we made a pre-emptive offer (ultimately we were outbid) - and Trupti was super fast with making counter offers. But most importantly she never pressured us to increase our bid or anything.
4. The house that we finally bought - she brought it to us off market. And she has guided us through the closing process all the way till the end. Oh and did I mention that she had gotten us the loan lender in the first place?

All of the above with always being prompt on writing offers, communication and private tours at short notices in Covid lockdown situation.

Whoever is reading this review, if you are looking to buy a property in Bay Area please look no further for an agent. I guarantee that you will write a review no less glowing than this when you are through with a smooth and professional experience with Trupti.

The Bay Area might just win the award for the world's craziest home market. Everyone we know got their home in two years after a gruelling search. So bad that we didn't bother to look in spite of renting here for 14 years. But Trupti was so thoughtful, attentive and meticulous. She put her heart into it and heard out our every tantrum and whim and curated a list of exactly what we needed and showed us those. We gave up, but she wouldn't. And in just two months (a world record in Silicon Valley home-hunting) we found our dream home in our dream location within our existing school district! If that isn't magical I don't know what is! Oh and did I mention that she did this during Covid19 lockdown? Trupti is a super agent, the very best one. If you want a dream home, she's the very best.

Bobby is a real estate NINJA!
He is polite, to the point, strategic, numbers-driven, energetic, and has an excellent mastery of the art of buying a home. My wife and I could not have been happier with all the guidance he provided, the patience, and the expertise he brought to our journey in purchasing our first residence. He even provided us with excellent recommendations of loan agents that proved very efficient and quick to respond to our needs for a jumbo loan. We honestly can't recommend him enough. Call him ASAP if you're looking for a home in the Bay Area.

Sandy was instrumental in enabling us to successfully sell our property.
The timelines and performance schedules she provided were invaluable visuals to us, helping to keep us informed and organized.
We were more than satisfied with Sandy’s performance as our listing agent. Her communication with us, to keep on top of things, as to the progress of the sale, from beginning to end, was informative and complete, as she guided us along.
We felt confident Sandy would work hard for us to achieve the best deal possible, and she did not disappoint. She has been a real powerhouse of support.

Sincerely,
Carla and Tom Anderson

We moved from Texas, and had completely different mindset. She helped us understand bayarea realestate and also spend good time to answer all our questions. She is very responsive and accessible, it would be fair to say she is a phone call away anytime of the day. She was very enthusiastic to show us new properties which could fit our requirement. She will herself take time to access the property thoroughly which is the finest quality she possess. She likes to work with everyone involved in making the deal happen. However, we never felt that she is trying to push us for something we are not 100 % sure, which our family really appreciated.Thanks for helping us to buy our firts property in CA.

It was such a great pleasure to work with Margarita in purchasing our first home. Margarita is very knowledgeable about the area and on what to look in the house to make a right offer. She is very patient as well and was always available to show any listing we wanted to see even at a short notice. As a first home buyer, we were not fully aware of the nitty gritty details but she had shared lots of good useful information and also helped in finding the loan officer, contractors etc. Overall, It was a wonderful and smooth sailing experience.

I now consider Margarita a friend and would highly recommend to anyone that is searching for a new home!

Sandy is beyond AMAZING. She is the first and the only realtor we will ever work with. She got me and my husband our dream home! Might I also add she negotiated 40K off our beloved home. THANK YOU Sandy!! We will be forever grateful. Me and my husband both live in Los Angeles where the housing market is super competitive. Sandy held our very inexperienced hands the entire step of the way and made us feel completely taken care of and comfortable during the entire transaction. No stone was left unturned with Sandy. She answered ALL of our many questions with such patience and professionalism. We had only started working with Sandy for about a month before finding a home that we loved. I called Sandy immediately when we found the house and told her I had found "THE ONE." The house had everything we needed has a family of 4. The house was posted to Zillow on a Thursday and I literally found it that day. I went to the open house that Sunday and by Tuesday we had put in an offer. Wednesday we were officially under contract. This was our first and only offer we had ever made on a home and we ended up getting it because of Sandy. All this said, everything happened very quickly because she made sure our voices were heard and the sellers without a doubt knew were very motivated buyers. Sandy didn't let us slip through the cracks. She was perfectly pushy without making anyone feel turned off. She was on it! We had a 30 day escrow from this point on. We were looking to move quickly and we certainly did. Moving this quickly can be stressful and Sandy made the entire process so smooth. We signed everything electronically and she made the process feel seamless. Also important to add, I really enjoyed talking to her on the phone everyday, sometimes multiple times a day. She is very calming and eased any anxieties I had. If you're working with a realtor for any period of time you kind of need to like talking to them...and trust me you will with Sandy. Like I said before, she negotiated 40K off our house so she has some mad negotiation skills. We have now been living in our home for almost 2 months and we have never been happier. We love our house! This was a huge goal accomplished for our family. We sometimes felt it would be impossible for us to buy a home in SoCal because it's so expensive. We had been saving for years. Sandy helped get us through the finish line and we seriously could not have done it without her. Sandy will forever be family.

Sandy did a great job selling my home in such a short amount of time.
I thought my home might stay on the open market for a long time, but she sold it in 3 days!
She was very professional and helped me with every part of the process.
It has been years since I sold a home so everything was so different. She even helped me learn how to use a computer too!
She is very sweet and caring.
I recommend her to anyone that wants to sell their home.

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

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.

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.

My house is in Cupertino so I thought it would sell easily when I listed it with a discount Realtor. 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
and especially Eric Wassman

Ronnie is the agent you are looking for, he takes his time to learn client's needs, teaches you about current market situation, does his due diligence to make the best possible offer on your behalf and most importantly never ever pushes you to make decision nor rushes you like some other agents do. His goal is for you to be comfortable with the process to find your dream home. After several months of house hunting, we found little gem in Los Gatos and Ronnie stayed on top of every step making transaction as smooth as it can be. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends when the time comes to shop for a home.

We presented Darcy with a super hard challenge: We needed to buy a home in Mountain View within 2 to 3 months, ideally in our same zip code (close to downtown) and we did not have unlimited resources. On top of all of that, we were first-time buyers. Darcy taught us a lot about the market and helped us find the perfect place for us. Once we locked the deal, she supervised the escrow and made sure we had a good lender and everything necessary to finish on time. After that, she helped us find a contractor in less than 3 weeks so that we had a crew renovating the place as soon as we got the keys. The crew finished with impeccable results within only 3 weeks, which meant we accomplished our goal of spending New Years in our very own home, a beautiful condo only 8-mins walking from Castro street! I can’t say enough about Darcy! My husband and I called her the unicorn agent!

Darcy was an amazing agent. She's proactive, kept me informed throughout the entire real estate process and did a wonderful job managing the timeline. She's super detail oriented and made the entire process very seamless. She sold my house in record time for more than I expected. Darcy was a joy to work with and I highly recommend her.

Sandy has been extremely professional and invaluable throughout the sale of old home and new home. I would not say our home sale was trivial by any means, especially given the time of year of selling and surrounding complexities of purchasing our new home, but Sandy did and has continued to handle our situation with clarity and grace. Throughout the process Sandy would step in to resolve issues throughout the process that weren't her problem nor caused by her and would always strongly fight for us and represent our best interests when other parties caused problems.

Throughout the entire process Sandy was ALWAYS available by any means of communication to work through and discuss anything that came up - or just to give us updates and keep us informed. Sandy was able to price the sale of our home properly for the time of the year (an October/November sale, yikes!) and set expectations properly; And at the end of the day work through complicated situations from buyers of our old home, allowing us to complete the sale our old home in time to purchase our new dream home.

If you are looking to sell your home in the Bay Area, I would absolutely recommend you give Sandy a call!

Paula Wells was our go to person! Only one word to describe our experience working with her, AWESOME! Everything we were looking for in an agent, not pushy but there whenever we needed her. If she didn’t have answers, she made sure to go find them and follow up in a timely manner. Each time she gave us her honest opinion and helped us manage realistic expectations. She was very patient and knowledgeable about the area we were looking to buy in. I cannot thank her enough for all the support she gave us throughout our buying experience.

Circumstances required us to perform extra work prior to selling our house. This work included dealing with various professionals including insurance agents and contractors. Sandy went above and beyond to help us manage these contacts on both a professional and personal level. Her help was instrumental in getting our house protected, ready for sale and sold quickly. We are thankful for Sandy’s professional guidance and her skill in keeping excellent rapport between all involved.

So anthusiastic and kind-hearted, Phat did everything beyond his job as a realtor to help me buy and lease my house in Elk Grove smoothly just in a few weeks in November 2019. My family had also bought a house in San Jose the same year with his acting as the buyer's realtor.

Moreover, he also gave me free but valuable investment advice.
I strongly recommend him to those who gonna buy or sell their houses.

Phat is very good agent , anytime you need help he will be there for you , If you need to buy the house , Phat the right person you are looking for...

Phat was extremely knowledgeable of the property and did everything in his ability to help make the process smooth. He went above and beyond to make sure we knew everything we can know about the property and seller.

We were very happy with hiring Sandy as our realtor. We interviewed a few agents and gave our choice careful consideration. In the end Sandy checked all the boxes. There were a lot of moving parts to consider, yet Sandy was always ever present and had a great attitude from beginning to end. We only had to worry about packing, as she took care of everything else. She is a smart and funny person that made the sale seems very easy. We really appreciate all Sandy's help and would highly recommend her.

Sandy was a great realtor and very helpful. Sandy helped us sell our home we had for over 40 years! We are not youngsters and needed a lot of help with not just selling our house but all the logistics of getting our home ready for sale, advice for time frame, hiring movers, contractors etc. Sandy was also very kind and patient as we were not very tech savvy and she made many trips to our house to do the paperwork. She made the sale very easy and we are so happy we chose Sandy!

We had a great experience working with Zack. We were able to find the place that met our requirements in a very short period of time. We are really happy with his service and very professional knowledge. I highly recommend him as a realtor.

There are no words to explain how Margarita goes above and beyond for all of her clients! My husband and I will be forever grateful to her and her heart of gold! She was there for us every step of way, from start to finish. She works quickly, efficiently, and is very responsive. And she always follows up! She is always there to check on us to make sure we’re ok and is always ready to give us guidance whenever we need it. Best of all, she listens! As we were house shopping, based on our discussion, she just knew when we were in love with our new home. She did her best to make our transaction as smoothly and painless as possible, and she delivered! Even though we have officially closed, Margarita has still been here to assist us, which we deeply appreciate! We plan to keep in touch and recommend her to anyone we know looking to buy or sell!!! Thank you Margarita for always going that extra mile for us and all of your clients!

Sandy has been a pleasure to work with from the start of our house searching all the way through to the purchase of our very first home. She is extremely personable, professional and on top of everything. Her enthusiasm and positive energy were evident in everything she did for us. As first time home buyers, we appreciated that Sandy was very thorough, informative and patient with explaining the process. She was prompt in answering any questions we had via text, phone, and email. We cannot thank you enough Sandy and would highly recommend her service because she had gone above and beyond for us.

Sandy is the most professional and kind person ever we work whit she list our house and the first day we Get the offer which sold the House basically for one day open house she’s extremely professional and probably become a good friend highly recommended best of luck honey you really help us Thank you

Ronnie helped me purchase a single family home in San Jose. Throughout the whole home search process Ronnie has been professional, responsive in our communication, and reliable. I learned a lot about the home-purchase process from the local knowledge that he had and shared with me. I appreciate how flexible he was even when my needs in what I desired in a home changed over time. Once our offer got accepted he made sure to make the home closing process seamless and headache-free for me. I would recommend Ronnie to others and would work with him again!

Sandy eased the stress of selling our house. Very knowledgeable and hands on every step of the way. With a great attention to detail our house sold in just 4 days! We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Sandy.

Margarita is very professional, knowledgeable, humble, and down to earth. She was always available to show us homes, and answer any questions we had. This was our first time purchasing a home, and she made the whole process stress free. We highly recommend her!!

Ronnie helped us sell our condo in downtown San Jose during a difficult downturn in the Bay Area housing market. He took charge of the entire process, making it painless for us, and helped us sell at a great price well above the initial offers. I highly recommend Ronnie to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Bay.

First of all, She is an amazing person. She helped us from start to end in the buying process and even after buying! She is a kind-hearted person and took care of us beyond expectation. ITs always nice to talk to her and she gives personal care to us in order to make the home buying process easier. She has great knowledge of the local market and very cooperative. Whenever we wanted to see a house she used to be ready to go with us( private showing).
I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help in real estate service. I am so glad I met her and would like to continue our friendship forever.

I worked with the Boyenga team to sale my house in Santa Cruz. They work very hard and provide clear direction. My agent was Keith Trainor and I can't write enough good things about him.

Keith is honest, committed, professional and have a pulse on the market.
Keith told me the price that I was going to get for my house. His suggestion was right on. He set my expectation correctly, was proactive on getting the open house on the calendar, was prepare and committed. In the transaction he represented the seller too and keep the transaction clean and totally transparent.
Highly recommend him!

We used Zack Shields from the Compass Boyenga team and he was outstanding!

Our first meeting with Zack, he explained to us his style of working and the entire home buying process to us first-time buyers. He was extremely patient as we bombarded him our questions, a quality that we have come to appreciate a lot in our experience with him. Our home buying process was not easy. It started with our uncertainties in selecting a location where we would like to settle to the number of bedrooms and such, but Zack put up with us. At the end of each home viewing, we would discuss a pro/con list about the place, Zack’s idea. This helped Zack understand us as buyers as well as what we were looking for that would refine his suggestions for next time. He worked very well with our schedule too. On the couple offers we put, his comp analysis was based on the market and how far we were willing to go. At every point of time, he made sure we were doing what we are comfortable with and like. Often he would point out things that we wouldn’t have even thought about and those were always good suggestions!


Once our dream house offer was accepted, we ran into a few problems with the loan and the property itself. Zack is amazing at communication and although these matters were new to him, he took the time and effort to learn more about it and did the best for us. I can’t stress enough that us, as buyers, are very difficult to deal with, and Zack has given the best service to us which speaks volumes about his character. He is always smiling and it shows the love he has for his work. More importantly, he never pushed us to close the deal ASAP, rather he focused on finding homes that met our needs.

In the end, we found the property that was perfect for us and we cannot thank Zack enough! Zack has found a lifelong client in us and I would like to recommend him to everyone out there looking for a
home.

Thanks to Ronnie's guidance and insight, we purchased a condo in the Sunnyvale area. At our initial meeting with him, he walked us through the process and narrowed in on our specifications. He secured private showings for us, and within a week we found the perfect condo for our young family. We appreciated his availability, responsiveness, and recommendation of contractors and lenders.

we bought a condo through Mr. Doan last year.
I highly recommend Mr. Doan as a very knowledgeable, skillful working through the process with heart as a realtor.

We are happy with the negotiation, the house we are living in and thanks for Mr. Doan's hard work.

I found Keith by accident through Zillow, and he turned out to be an amazing agent. The past 2 houses I bought were direct to owner, since I had heard many agents don't do that much for you, but I decided to give it a try getting help through the process. Keith impressed me right away with his knowledge and ability to get things done. He actually help me put together an offer for a home within a single day, just a few hours after meeting me. While I didn't get that home he continued to search for places, putting in a lot of time and dedication, and never pressuring me to rush into any deal even when my mind was going back and forth on a place. He is very honest about market conditions and whether or not a place was a good investment. He is able to interpreting disclosures and inspection results very precisely, and can tell you how difficult or expensive something will be to fix. He has intimate knowledge of the sale process and how to navigate the negotiations without risk of losing the home. He even came around post-sale to help setup some home repairs. In the end I got a home which is perfect for me, and the process was extremely smooth compared to what me and others have seen elsewhere. I cannot recommend Keith Trainor enough!!

We met Keith while inquiring about a house. After experiencing home purchasing twice before, we were not looking forward to the stress and challenges involved in house hunting. Keith changed this for us. He was accessible, responsive and always on the ball. He provided us guidance, knowledge and was meticulous about researching codes and regulations related to the property. He would find all he could about the history of the house and property before we would go and look at it. If we found one online, he often knew about it and had a lot of information on its history and would provide us his thoughts or any reservations he had about it.
We never felt pressured to make quick decisions and he was honest about his assessment of each property (good/bad) and it’s pricing. If he had misgivings about a house/property he expressed them to us honestly. We would highly recommend him as a realtor. He was smart, honest and patient making a difficult process fun and enjoyable for us.

Sandy is extremely thorough when it comes to real estate, she made our home buying process a breeze and took all the stress off us throughout the entire process! 5 stars doesn’t even do enough justice for her work, she’s above and beyond what you can expect from a realtor!

Janelle and Eric and their whole team was extremely pleasant to work with and very professional, the whole process of selling our home was as smooth as it gets. They know their business and their approach was spot on.

I am very happy to have Zack be my Realtor, he helped me find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. He is very patient, come on time, very helpful and give knowledge advise on the house.
he was always more focused on answering my questions, giving me good advice, and finding homes that met my needs than he was on closing a deal. I would recommend him to anyone.

Excelente and effective service. Margarita answered all our needs, responding to our concerns. Help us get our mortgage loan when we had little or no chance to get one for our poor credit

Paula Wells – WOW

I owned a duplex in San Jose, but I live out of state. I contacted Boyenga Team and arranged to have Paula Wells assist and represent me in the sale of the property. The front/main unit of the property was very ‘worn out’ since the same tenants had been there 35 years. Paula recommended that I have it remodeled before putting the listing up. We discussed what return on that investment I could expect and she advised it would return substantially more than the money invested. She was absolutely right.
Paula agreed to find contractors she knew and had worked with before, get bids, and then supervise the project. She had her interior designer make recommendations about what work should be done (basically a full remodel of the whole unit.) I was nervous about undertaking such a big project from out of state, but Paula more than exceeded my expectations. She located two contractors to bid the job, helped me negotiate a good price, closely supervised the construction, interfaced with the contactor, and in general took care of every aspect of the remodel. The remodel turned out great, and thanks to Paula’s help finished under what I though was a very reasonable bid price. With the remodel done the property was much, much more saleable. Paula had it professionally staged and it looked great! Paula told me there would be no additional charges for her project management, design, staging and marketing services, and there were none.
Paula recommended how I should price the listing. It seemed a little low, but by then I had complete faith in her judgment. We followed the marketing strategy Paula recommended and as she predicted, when the listing went on the market we had multiple (11!) offers in the first few days, most of them overbids. Paula vetted all the offers, and spoke with all the offering agents to make sure we had their highest and best offers, and then gave us a spreadsheet analyzing the critical parts of each offer, making it very easy to objectively compare all the offers. We received substantially more than the list price and more than we anticipated for the property. Our escrow went so smoothly it closed early. The return on the remodel investment was even more than Paula predicted.
Throughout this process Paula was a great communicator – she updated me on the progress virtually every day. There was never a time when I could not reach her when I called.
I unequivocally recommend Paula Wells to anyone who is considering selling a property.

Darcy is an amazing realtor. She helped us find our current home and went above and beyond what can be expected. She helped us navigate the sometimes stressful experience of purchasing a home and she was always able to explain all nuances of the deal. We wholeheartedly recommend her.

Keith was instrumental in helping us purchase our first home. Not only were we new to the home buying process, but we were also new to understanding the nuances of mountain properties. Keith guided us through the entire process with patience and a crucial eye for detail.

His expertise made us feel confident in all of our decisions along the way - from understanding complex inspection reports, learning about septic systems, recommendations for additional inspections and inspectors, and ensuring that as buyers we had the upper hand when possible during negotiations in a seller's market. Keith helped us feel informed in order to make decisions that were best for us, even if this meant we walked away from a purchase (which wouldn't benefit him), which we did.

Ultimately, the home we ended up purchasing has been a dream, and we couldn't have done it without Keith. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an agent, especially in the Santa Cruz mountain region. If we are ever looking to sell or purchase a home in the future, we will certainly be reaching out to Keith again.

Sri was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. She was courteous and respectful when corresponding with us and she kept us well informed during the escrow process. She was always concerned about our best interests and willing to do whatever she could to help. My husband and I enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her to other potential buyers.

Stine was the most ideal agent to help us as first time home buyers. We immediately connected with her on our first meeting, and knew right away that we could trust her to help us through this “daunting process”. She met with us several months prior and kept us completely informed and equipped along the way! We felt confident that she had our best interest in mind, the entire way! Her communication was amazing, her professionalism was top notch, and her care, kindness, knowledge, and execution made this process a piece of cake. Ultimately we found the home we absolutely loved, and she helped us through an awesome deal. I cannot recommend her services enough!! You will not regret working with Stine and her team!

Brandon was a delight to work with! He was extremely responsive and willing to show us a property at any time! He is also very knowledgable and answered our millions of questions. He has a fun and bright personality that will make the home buying process way more fun. My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with our experience with Brandon Stovall and Compass!

My wife and I worked with Zack to purchase our first home and we really can’t say enough good things about him. Being a first time buyer, we had little knowledge of the process for purchasing a property. The first thing Zack did was give us a crash course in real estate buying and was very thorough in answering every concern we had. More importantly, he was very reassuring that what appeared to be an overwhelming process, wasn't actually that bad at all. With every place we saw, Zack quickly gained a perspective for what we did and did not like in a property (including vaastu). High praises from us for helping us extricate ourselves from a seller who had no negotiating skills after we’d made an offer, and in helping us find ways to make competitive offers in bayarea market to close on our dream house. Zack has a ton of contacts(for moving/ flooring/ inspection/ bankers etc) and his contacts for the bankers really made the loan closing a smooth process for us. Zack was on top of every part of the process to make sure things were on track and towards the end of the closing always updated by 9am on how things were going and not having us ask for updates.

Now looking back, one of the things which is very commendable is that Zack never pressured us into anything, he is not pushy and has your best interest in mind for the long term. In fact,
Zack is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient. We would highly recommend using Zack to find your dream home. We hope we’re in our new home for a long time, but if we were to move, we wouldn’t hesitate to work with Zack again.

We are glad we had someone like dev singh through our buying process. We had a difficult situation, with seller who was inconsistent, flakey and complex and continuously changing the equation throughout the escrow period. During each phase dev was very patient and explained the pros and cons and possible options ahead of us. Dev expertise on house conditions have helped us a lot and smoothen this process.

We would not own our home today if it wasn't for Amber! We met Amber at an open house. Not only did she push the sale of the home she was showing, because it wasn't right for us, but she even recommended other comparable homes in the area that we SHOULD consider. She wasn't even our realtor and she went out of her way to help us. We decided to ask her to help us find our home. When we did find one we loved, Amber helped my husband and I through a very competitive bidding war on our home. She helped us through the bidding war, and even more so after the offer was accepted. There was a leak which caused damage, and she helped us negotiate the repairs. And after we owned the home, she recommended high quality contractors and repair people to fix up the home to our needs. She is just amazing!

Ronnie helped me purchase a property in Santa Clara recently. His expertise in the area I was looking at was amazing. He was able to gauge my housing specifications very quickly and subsequently was able to tailor a list of homes which would suit my needs. Ultimately, I ended up purchasing a home perfect for me found by Ronnie that I had not come across in my independent search . His attention to detail is exceptional. Subsequent to finding the right home, he streamlined the buying process for me and made the technical aspects of the purchase effortless. There were small things that needed to be fixed. Ronnie went above and beyond and was able to provide me with contractor referrals and their estimates. He even showed up at the property to work with the contractors if they needed someone present. He was very easy to contact and was always on top of things. I am so glad I met him. I highly recommend him.

We worked with Amber for our first home purchase, highly recommend her to anyone who is going through the process. Amber guided us well in the end to end exhaustive journey, she is knowledgeable of the process and market, responsive, was patient to answer all our questions and followed up with numerous listing agents for all the properties we were interested in.

Aaron impressed us by his passion, information, and the execution power. We met Aaron on a hot open house, and he wasn't the list agent. When we have some question about a bedroom size, he just said "Let's find it out" and he went to get a tape. Then we talked for a while and he took down our info. Since then he started to provide us the fresh info about new listings, on market/off market, etc. Finally within a couple months he found a house for us and we bought it. Amazing - considering how hot the market was, and how tough to buy a house at that time! We asked him what's the secret. His answer was, "I work much harder than many other agent!" That's true. He and his team are both very responsive and information to handle lots of details. I'll say it's definitely a great experience to have worked with him!

Being first time home buyers in the Bay Area, we were a little intimidated at first, especially with the bidding process. Luckily we found Aaron who made the process seamless. An absolute key difference you would notice between Aaron and any other agent would be, that he loves to help you, as opposed to being focused on closing the deal. We felt so much at ease - never ever felt pushed, no matter how many houses we saw.....He has great connections, has in depth knowledge of the market and will get you what you want at the price point you are comfortable with. We both are very happy with our first home and couldn't have been more pleased. We thank you for the time and effort you spent with us, making our first experience as easy as it was! I definitely recommend Aaron Derbacher to anyone and would not hesitate to use again for ourselves."

Amber was a wonderful person to work with- she patiently answered our questions and helped us understand the market since my husband and I were newbies to buying a house. She was always on the lookout to help us find our perfect place, and when we found one, helped the transaction run smoothly.

Aaron is both very personable and extremely passionate about what he does and it truly shows in his work. We were definitely not the easiest clients as we were looking for a particular floor plan among other requirements all while staying under a certain budget. Aaron stayed patient with us and was able to not only get us a place that satisfied our check list but also got it at a great price in a tough market. I would and do recommend him to anyone looking to buy a place.

We worked with Amber on our recent home purchase. She is very knowledgeable about the housing market in Silicon Valley. She helped us buy our first home here, which happened to be the first house we offered on! I highly recommend Amber whether you are buying or selling a home.

Aaron went above and beyond to sell our house. Not only did he perform the normal marketing, showing, and friendly consultation of most realtors, he handled everything related to the selling of our house for us so we didn't have to. We agreed home improvements would be helpful to sell the house. Aaron and his team handled doing all of the remodeling themselves! He handled all the scheduling of inspections, work, etc. We didn't have to lift a finger or do anything! Moreover, he would personally show up at our house when we weren't there to handle ongoing, regular lawn maintenance and leaf blowing! I could go on and on. Needless to say, after moving no fewer than nine times with great realtors each time, hands-down Aaron is the best realtor I've ever had the pleasure of working with and knowing. And he performed all of this work on our house, which is one of the least expensive in the entire Bay Area. His customer service is on an entirely different level. He went above and beyond the call of duty working tirelessly on our behalf. I can't say enough about how much we appreciate his service, professionalism, knowledge, customer service, and ease with which to work.

Aaron helped us to get a home when the market was super competitive. He has great connection with other agents & brokers, as well as handyman & contractors. He was very responsive and explain things clearly in plain English. He worked very closely with my loan officer & the escrow company which made the whole process a lot easier. After the sale was closed, he helped us to repair several issues found in inspection report, and also arranged termite fumigation for us - this saved us a lot of time. We texted/call Aaron whenever we had questions about the home (mortgage, home repair, remodel, city code for remodel, etc.) We really like working with Aaron and I have referred him to several friends who are thinking to purchase a home.

Aaron went above and beyond to help us get our place. He helped us every step of the way and still checks up on us. He has a great attitude and is really good at what he does.
Thank you Aaron

Our experience with Jena has always been exceptional! She is kind, knowledgeable, flexible and respects our requests when it comes to finding or selling our home. We have worked with Jena over the years and we highly recommend her to anyone. She is always committed to her clients and goes above and beyond! She is reachable at any time and responds very quickly.

I worked with Stine to find a new condo and I had very specific requirements in what I was looking for. Not only did she find a home for me that included everything I was looking for, she got it under asking price. Stine is patient, professional and bold which is exactly what you want in someone that is negotiating for you. She has an honest approach and will talk you out of certain homes when she has a concern. I would highly recommend Stine especially in the downtown Seattle area!

Jena's experience came in handy for us when bidding for the house. The house we were bidding on was under-priced to attract attention, but when you get into a situation like this, you do not want to go above the possible appraised price - because the bank will not give a loan for the amount above the appraised price. This is where Jena's experience came in handy for us. Our bid was right on the dot. Jena put an appraisal contingency on the house. Fortunately, the house appraisal came in at our bid price and our loan went smoothly.

All in all, buying a house is a complicated process and having an experienced realtor gives you a huge advantage. Jena excels at her job to steer you away from trouble.

It was my first time buying a property when I had the pleasure of working with Brandon. As you can imagine being a new buyer it was a bit intimidating, there are so many processes and things that need to be done, not just in the offer process but also afterward when 8nitiating closing processes. With his help the process felt so easy with really no issues. At every step of the way he assisted in providing explanation and assurance that we were on the right path to not only secure an offer but also keeping great communication with all parties involved. I did not stress whatsoever during process thanks to his guidance. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing real estate services.

Ronnie did a great job for us. He researched the market and helped us to choose the property that best fit our requirements. We were doing a 1031 exchange and he helped negotiate that process also. Ronnie is very friendly, honest and responsive.

I am currently active duty military and had come home from my third deployment a few months prior to working with Stine. I am stationed in San Diego but was looking to buy another home in Seattle as a vacation home for my family and I. Stine is the most squared away agent I have ever worked with. Her persistence, work ethic and intuition was unparalleled compared to any other agent I have worked with in the past. She is extremely savvy and in tune with what the sellers and listing agent were going to offer and counter with which was very impressive. There’s nobody else I would ever use and I honestly believe there’s no one out there who will work harder for their client than Stine.

We are definitely delighted customers! We purchased a new home and sold our existing home with Krystal and she provided excellent service. She found a perfect buyer for our home and coordinated all of the people for the inspections and tests for our new property. We will use her and the Boyenga Team if/when we move again!!
We went on a wild goose chase with her in these woods, but we had a great time, found our perfect home and moved, all in just a few short months. Thank you Krystal.

Eric and Janelle helped us sell our Sunnyvale home of 23 years. They were professional and knowledgeable and guided us through the entire process. Selling a home can be overwhelming and complicated at times, but the Boyengas communicated and supported us for each step. Eric and Janelle were there for every part of selling including house prep, staging, listing, open houses, and finally accepting an offer. They stayed optimistic despite the market softening.

We appreciate Paula's quick response to answering my email questions and her expertise add to the high quality of the team.

We highly recommend Eric and Janelle for buying or selling a home.

Zack did great job with helping me to find the house. He was very patient with my limited schedule and budget to help me find good situation. I am very greatful for Zack. Thank you

Ronnie has been a great resource in helping my family make the wisest decisions in reaching our home buying goals. He has made me comfortable the the process and communicated effectively throughout. Thanks Ronnie!

Ronnie is always willing to offer advice and helped my wife and I in our house hunting process even though our agent was a family member. He is very knowledgeable and a man of great character. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in The Valley looking to buy a home.

Pros: friendly, responsive, flexible, great references to household services
Cons: none that I experienced

Darcy sold my house in Sunnyvale this summer in September just as the market was starting to soften. I had interviewed The Boyenga Team several years ago when I was considering selling then, but changed my mind when I looked at some issues if I sold then - like capital gains tax. What I liked about their company when I interviewed them was their responsiveness even though I was unsure if I would even sell my Sunnyvale house. Darcy & Eric took time to visit my mother's house that I inherited to help decide whether to sell her house or mine.

When I re-evaluated my circumstances this summer, I didn't bother to interview anyone else since Darcy, Janelle, and the Boyenga Team had been much better than the other agents previously interviewed. Their knowledge of Sunnyvale market, their flexibility, their understanding of what technology is useful to market and determine prices were all superior to the other agents.

I also liked that both Darcy and Janelle were flexible and worked with me without dictating orders on what needed to be done. My house had a very upscale remodel 10 years ago, so I needed only to do cosmetic updates to it. Also, I had lived in it for almost 40 years, and I had put so much care into all the upgrades that it was hard to let go. Darcy was very empathetic to my situation reasoning with me when I needed it, but not forcing me into anything I didn't want to do. I disagreed with some of Janelle's suggestions, but none of Darcy's.

Janelle suggested painting all the woodwork white, but to me, the cost was prohibitive versus what I thought it would bring to the sale of the house. However, I chose to do much more landscaping than what Janelle recommended. I felt because there were 4 new upscale homes listed on my block that I was in competition with, mine had to look as manicured as theirs. I don't know if I got my money back on the cost, but it made me happy that I was passing my home of many years to the new owners in pristine condition.

Overall I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Darcy or to hire her again.

We have been working with Sri to get our new home for a couple of months. Sri is an outstanding real estate agent. She has a unique talent of making impossible things possible. She impressed us with her professionalism, optimism, knowledge of the market and the procedure, fantastic organizational skills and determination of making things work. Sri was with us every step from the beginning to the end--supportive, encouraging, inspiring. It was a great pleasure working with her. We highly recommend her to everybody who considers buying or selling a property. Sri is the best!

Hi, Margarita was a great Real State
She help me since the begging until the end . She was always very helpful and respectful. I couldn’t do it with out her help.
Thanks Margarita

Margarita was referred to me by family members. She is an amazing agent who helped my husband and I purchase our first home. We were unsure of the area/city we wanted to live in and she was very patient and informative throughout the process. I had contacted her a couple of months prior to actually making our purchase. At the time, we decided it would be best to wait a couple more months. Margarita called me back a couple of months later to check up on us and see if our situation had changed. We are happy she called back and we were able to get the ball rolling. She is very knowledgeable and made our experience a great one. Every time we had a question or doubt, she was there to answer questions and ensure we felt confident with our every move. Thank you Margarita for going above and beyond. I would strongly recommend her to family and friends.

I had the pleasure of working with Brandon when purchasing my home. He was very diligent, attentive and professional throughout the process. "Thank you" again for help me and my family find the exact house we were looking for!

Really great experience, Margarita really takes the time to show you exactly what you are interested in. Very patient and underatanding that as a home buyer we dont do this everyday. Takes the time to explain and make sure we underatand every aspect. I would very much recommend Margarita to anyone in search for a new or first home.

Darcy helped sell my Mom's house in South San Francisco. I am very happy with the sale. The attention to details went far and beyond. She walked us through every detail. Her contacts for getting the house to market were invaluable. There was a lot of clean up and repairs to make. Darcy’s suggestions were very valuable. I can’t say enough to how grateful I am for her professionalism and expertise in the market.

Brandon and the team made my home purchasing process stress free, transparent, and even pleasant. Despite the fact transaction being challenging in multiple ways, Brandon handled it very well with his excellent communication as well as professional yet personable approach. He also works with a very knowledgeable team handling different aspects of the transaction throughout so as a new buyer to the Bay area market, it made me feel at ease.
Brandon is a trust worthy person with excellent knowledge, fantastic skills and pleasant to work with. I would use his team in a heartbeat next time for my real estate needs.

If you are looking for a real estate agent to take you through each step of a real estate transaction, your search is over. Keith Trainor is the name you’ve been looking for.

Keith is an amazing real estate professional. He will carefully help you with making the decision on what you want. He will patiently guide you through the search process without pushing you towards a deal that does not quite fit you, despite the fact that it would benefit him personally. This is a rare quality, especially for agents in this business. Even more, he will steer you away from making decisions that can be a problem long term (for example, houses remodeled without permit, outdated construction code, etc.)

Keith takes extra steps to get to know his clients. For instance, he made trips to properties of interest to us to make sure they fit our search criteria. That saved us time and extra trips and added more knowledge of the area. He demonstrated an exceptional knowledge of Santa Cruz area, telling us about the history, people and the environment of many neighborhoods we visited (we were very impressed by Mount Hermont neighborhood history).

When preparing for the transaction, his analytical approach was the key. Keith always had answers for all our questions, frequently before we had an opportunity to ask them. He made us feel safe and comfortable making the decision, knowing risks and future implications. He worked very efficiently with the bank and the title company.

Upon the completion of the transaction, Keith was very instrumental in helping with builders, contractors and interior designers to do remodeling. He even volunteered to help oversee the progress of remodel, so that we would have to be there only once a week.

Always on time, with all the answers to all the questions – even those that we did not think of ahead of time, patiently working with us over the year of search, never pushy, always putting client’s interest first, Keith is the perfect example of what a real estate professional should be. Honesty and honesty again, combined with a perfect mix of a professionalism and a personable approach is what Keith is all about.

Thank you, Keith for a great journey of finding our dream house!

Darcy is amazing!

When my wife and I decided to buy a home in one of the most aggressive and expensive markets in all of California, and the US as a whole, Darcy was a godsend.

Darcy was on the spot with her assessments of pricing. Even when we bid on homes and didn't win, Darcy's estimates of where the price would end were spot on. She didn't hold punches in telling us what our real chances were of getting a bid accepted.

In other cases, she was very aggressive about making sure that we understood that certain markets were not good investments for our long-term plans for a home and the potential growth of certain neighborhoods. She had no qualms about telling us that we shouldn't even bother looking at homes that were great on paper, but not so good in reality.

She knows her market and knows it very well.

When we did settle on the home that we ultimately bought, she was aggressive with being one of the first offers and was able to connect with the selling agent and negotiate the finer details, price, and manage the process.

Throughout the process, she kept us in the loop and made sure that we knew every step as it happened, including the hiccups. As hiccups happen when spending this kind of money; Darcy managed each and every one of them quickly, efficiently, and was available at the drop of a hat to help move the process along.

We are more than happy with the price we paid, and are already seeing similar properties in our neighborhood selling for more; a sure sign that she helped to negotiate a very aggressive deal on a very aggressive timeline.

When we're ready to sell this home or buy another, we know exactly who will manage that process for us.

After meeting with 3 agents to represent us in our sale, we ultimately chose Janelle and Eric Boyenga and we could not be happier. They listened intently to our wishes and advised us on what our home would need to maximize our sale. They even project-managed our fix and upgrade list. I highly recommend the Boyenga team.

Janelle and Eric were on top of everything, from forward visionary thinking to listening and communicating. They knew the value of the property I was selling, and they made sure that everything in their power was done to make the sale successful! They were involved every step of the way, from interior/exterior house prep to landscaping to final negotiations. Through it all, they were open and honest. Their team members Paula and Darcy were also available for immediate assistance when needed. I never felt alone when dealing with the magnanimous task of selling a home, and I felt that with the Boyenga Team I was always in the best possible hands.

I can't say enough good things about Eric and Janelle. We moved to the Los Gatos area from New York two years ago and knew nothing about the area. But we did rent a property from Eric and Janelle.
Janelle not only helped us to navigate the real estate space, but was also my go to person for advice on schools, clubs, preschools, what to do in the area etc. Whenever I texted Janelle, my phone would ring two minutes later with Janelle very happily answering my questions and giving me sound advice. When it came time for us to buy our own home we first consulted with Janelle. She put me in touch with one of their associates (Keith) who was an expert in the area we wanted to buy in. We were in great hands, and Janelle and Eric stayed in the loop, working behind the scenes with Keith and with me to make sure we were getting the right house for the right price. They have become our trusted advisors. We now live in our dream home and will definitely use the Boyenga team again if ever the need arises.

Keith helped us to buy the house of our dreams! We have not lived in the area long, and have never previously bought a property that was not in a big city, so we had a lot to learn and a lot of questions. Keith helped navigate us though it all. He thought of everything and helped us to understand what to look out for, from retainer walls, septic systems and pest reports to swimming pools, home layout and potential renovations. He was knowledgeable on it all. Once we had bought our home he worked with us and contractors to get work quoted and scheduled. It took us a while to find the right house, and through it all he was always available and answering questions, and quick to get us in to see new potential listings. His advice on putting an offer together is what got us the house we wanted. I would highly recommend Keith and would work with him anytime.

Once we met Eric and Janelle, we knew immediately we wanted to have them sell our home. They provided many options and were very open and honest in their recommendations, but in the end they let us know it was our decision. We agreed with all of their recommendations and in the end, they were right.

Eric's analytics of the neighborhood, pricing, and potential buyers were invaluable, and Janelle's overall command of the listing and selling process were exceptional.

Selling a home can be a stressful and emotional process, but with Eric and Janelle they made it a calm, non-hectic, and an enjoyable time. The outcome of the sale also exceeded our expectations.

I cannot recommend Eric, Janelle and their team enough. I would definitely use them again.

I had a great experience with Janelle Boyenga and her team in selling my uncle's condo in San Jose. I was not familiar with the San Jose market for condos and relied on Janelle's expertise. Based on her recommendations and her contractor's cost estimate, I let her handle everything. Timelines were met, the condo update budget was spot-on and his condo received multiple offers in a week. If you are a busy person and do not have time to update your property yourself, travel to the realtor's office or just hate driving on busy freeways like me, working with the Boyenga team is for you. I only met Janelle in person once and after that we kept in touch by phone, emails, and text. Communication was excellent. They used DocuSign for all their E-signature needs and a mobile notary public came to my house for the escrow paper signing. I would highly recommend Janelle and the Boyenga team for your selling needs.

Working with Margarita to sell our condo was an exceptional experience. My husband and I interviewed a couple of Realtors and found Margarita's passion and extensive sales background refreshing & reassuring. She helped get our condo prepped for showing with great contractor recommendations & helped to organize communications with each of them. When it came time for the open house she was on time & her marketing helped to get tons of foot traffic. At the end of the day we sold our condo well over asking price in less than a week! If you are looking for someone who is professional & will treat the sale of your home as though it was their own, I would 100% recommend Margarita! You won't regret it!

Excellent realtor--patient, honest, accurate and forthcoming. The prep before the sale was quick and fantastic. His knowledge of the local area and his relationship with other local realtors allowed him to sell our property before it went on the market, 4% over asking, during the off season. Keith is exceptional.

They are the best. Don't even bother looking around. You can't go wrong with Eric and Janelle. They are kind and understanding and extremely knowledgeable and accessible. And their Assistant Paula is on the ball, too!

The Boyenga team clearly stood out over others when we were interviewing realtors to execute our property sale, and they did not disappoint us. Eric and Janelle displayed great grasp of the local market, and fully do justice to the nerd tag they claim. They presented a practical, not over the top, assessment of the current market situation which turned out to be absolutely correct.
They also have a great team which maintains same level of expertise and professionalism. I want to specifically mention Paula who was very patient with all my requests. I was initially hesitant to talk to anyone else other Eric or Janelle but Paula was completely in lockstep with the progress and was very diligent and patient in following up on whatever it took to get the house staged as well as any items I needed to be addressed along the way, however minor they were.

We always felt we were in good hands. Key points for us in a good realtor are (1) Having grasp of where the market is heading in the short term (2) Clear communication and ability to listen (3) Trust (4) No hardsell when it comes to making decisions about the sale (and there are many items where one needs to make decisions in the process) but at the same time give advice that I can use (5) Negotiation skills. Our final sale price is a testament of that

Boyenga team came through on all of this. There are all kinds of realtors out there. You will not go wrong with the Boyenga team

Paula helped me buy my very first home, taking a process that was overwhelming and helping me through every minute little detail, even after closing. I don't think I could have done it without her! She was professional, prepared, and honest at every turn.

It was a pleasure working with the Boyenga team! We are so happy with our new home and they made sure that the entire experience would be smooth for us. Even after the sale was closed, we had their support every step of the way. Highly highly recommended!

Eric, Janelle and their team did an excellent job, helping us purchase a home in Los Gatos as well as selling our house in the Santa Cruz mountains. They were extremely responsive, helping cover all the details, working with stagers, contractors, inspectors, etc. They did a tremendous job in negotiating and getting us get great deals in both transactions. In the purchase of our new home, they were able to put us in a great position to secure the place ahead of other buyers and to close the deal very quickly. They were able to find a very qualified buyer for our old home while other homes in that area have languished for months without being sold. They were always completely professional, attentive, and helpful. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area.

We have worked with Darcy Richardes and the Boyenga Team both on the purchase of our new Los Gatos property and the sale of our Los Altos home. Darcy, Janelle, Eric, and the entire Boyenga Team were exceptionally attentive and accommodating to us in both transactions. They were truly focused on our best interest, listening to our input while also expressing their opinions. We have had two very positive experiences and highly recommend the Boyenga Team.

I cannot recommend Krystal Pung enough! We were out of town buyers and she educated us on the Silicon Valley, found us the perfect home, and negotiated with the seller so that our offer was accepted-- we were absolutely thrilled! Krystal helped hire tradespeople to help with some upgrades and even shopped for marble for us. We have bought and sold many homes through the years and Krystal is the most knowledgeable and professional agent we have ever used. She grew up in the Silicon Valley and knows the areas very well and she will guide you every step of the way. I am recommending her to all my friends and clients looking in the area.

Keith helped me buy a house. Even in a strong seller's market, he helped me get the property below asking price despite financing with a mortgage.

In all our interactions, Keith was prompt, extremely diligent, professional, and always did what was in my best interests. He has exceeded my expectations and I will be working with him again.

I had lost hope to find something to buy in the crazy market of Bay Area after spending a year looking at places and on a few cases making offers with no success until I met Darcy by pure chance. She helped me buy a place which was within my budget in an area that I like. She was kind enough to help me with small remodeling in the property by finding contractors who could do the job within the timeframe that would work with my schedule. This was my first time to buy property and she was very king to explain the process and answer my questions. I highly recommend her, you wouldn't be disappointed with her!

Home selling is not a science nor engineering. You need to have a compass to navigate and Boyenga team is very nice tool you can count on. I have lived in my house for 18 years and was overwhelmed by the project in the beginning. However, with the help of Darcy, Eric, and Janelle of Boyenga team, we pulled it through and reach the destination finally.
Thanks to Boyenga team and congratulations on both of us. It was a great team work, which made it possible.

Keith was a pleasure to work with! We were moving to a new and very different area than we had ever lived in before and he took the time to help us understand what we should be concerned with when evaluating houses. With his guidance, we got the house of our dreams!

Janelle and the whole team of Boyenga has been a huge help. They are very professional, helpful, kind, honest, timely in every step of the way. The supposedly difficult process of selling our home became easy with their assistance. Truly a stellar service!

Eric and Janelle helped me sell my home in San Jose, and it could not have gone any better. The entire process was streamlined, and they handled all of the heavy lifting, including hooking me up with a stager and contractors who did a bang up job. They stayed on top of everything, and we got an amazing price in a surprisingly quick time. I cannot recommend team Boyenga highly enough.

He is diligent and always available. As a first time homebuyer, I appreciate his straightforwardness when discussing pros and cons of properties and his patience guiding me through the process of homebuying.

They helped sell my house from the beginning preparing the property, having the team to help throughout the whole process to after the sale, always available and helpful. Thank you Boyenga Team.
You are the best!!!

The Boyenga team were all awesome! We needed to sell our condo after we we had moved out of town, and they handled Everything for us, and were able to get us a great price too. We would definitely work with the Boyenga team again.

Coming from Sweden everything with buying a house was new to us and could have been terrifying if it wasn’t for Darcy. We met with some agents but when we got Darcy recommended to us we really understood why. She has been so great and supportive through this process and was definitely the reason we ended up with our dream house. Everything from knowing what areas to look at houses, and recommendations for everything you can think of will be needed when buying a house, and always responding immediately. If you get the opportunity working with Darcy you should definitely take it, she is awesome in any possible way.

Janelle Boyenga came highly recommended. I was very happy working with the Boyenga Team. Janelle is pleasant, easy to work and very professional. Janelle is an excellent negotiator. Paula, who works with Janelle, was extremely helpful and always available. Paula always goes above and beyond what would be expected. They work as a team and are readily available. The process went beyond my expectations and everything went very smoothly. The are all pleasant to work with and very professional.

As a first time home buyer, I feel so lucky that I chose April as my agent. She is always there to bring me to any open houses, answer all my questions, and deal with random issues. In this competitive market, she still tries to talk to list agent to get a good deal first instead of pushing you to put all your money. I don't have a car so April always offers free rides from my place to any open house or escrow/loan places. After I got my home, she helped me to connect with the contractor and gave me a lot of design advice. I recommend April to all the single first time home buyer like me.

Darcy and her team helped us to sell two houses and buy another. Darcy's knowledge of the local market and her teams wide reaching resources ensured that we received top dollar for both of the houses we sold. They also helped us negotiate a great deal on our new house we purchased. We have bought and sold other houses in the past but we have never had such a positive and professional experienced as when we worked with Darcy. She made this an amazing experience and I would absolutely recommend her to any of my family or friends!

Think about what you want in a realtor. There are easy things like knowledge, on time, works hard... but, think about how much you will be dealing with this person and how much money you will be using during this process. Wouldn’t you want some one who is also patient, intuitive, doesn’t interrupt, and has a broad knowledge of things?
That was Keith Trainor for us! He knew so much about things inside of each house and how things worked. He also would educate us on both the good and not so good things about each property or drive to te property. He would let us wander around and not follow us or add comments on every thing we pointed at ( like we have experienced before) he really gave us the time we needed when we needed it and spoke up at all the right times. He’s very intuitive.

We would highly recommend Keith Trainor as your realtor. He was great with our young kids and was patient while we delt with meltdowns and diaper changes, and delt with us adults wonderfully. He’s not loud, he gets to the point quickly, but will keep the mood light with his jokes :).
In conclusion, we trusted Keith. He proved to us quickly that we could. We were interested in a house at the top of our budget and he got us all the paper work we needed quickly to make an informed decision and backed up our decision of that house not being the right one. Because he was intuitive he realized there was one more house that was not on our list that he must show us after seeing our reactions to things in other homes. This was the house!

Thanks again Keith for making this a low stress, fun, and flawless experience!

This review is way overdue and I couldn't be happier to recommend Keith to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. I worked with Keith for over a year on finding a home that fits my family's needs. As a first time home-owner, it was a steep learning curve for me and I needed a person who I could trust to have my best interest in mind. Keith was definitely that person. He was extremely patient looking for the right home for me, answering all the questions, and providing advise with an ability to put himself in my shoes. I could trust that if there were any concerns with the house Keith would be sure to discuss them with me so I would be fully informed. To add to the complexity of my search, I was looking in the area remotely, yet Keith took time to arrange all the property viewings for me during the time that was convenient for me and would help with all the logistics. After a long search, I found a home that me and my family couldn't be happier with. I am extremely grateful to Keith for all his work, patience, and honesty and am recommending him with 100% confidence to anyone. If you are looking for a person who will go above and beyond in understanding your needs and preferences, who will stay honest, patient and will never push you to a rash decision, I wouldn't look any further.

Keith worked with us for a long time since it was hard for us to find a condo for our family with such a competitive market in Santa Cruz. He went above and beyond by contacting owners of the condo in the complex we were looking for. He was able to manage an off market deal which we believe was the only way we were able to finally achieve our dream. He is great to work with and so dedicated to his clients. We were so happy with him and would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a property in Santa Cruz.

We looked for a home to buy on our own, checking listings and locations from the MLS daily comparing the homes to what we needed. Once we finally found some places we might actually want, we'd call April and usually get to see them the same day or nearly. she was massively helpful every time when we saw her for a period of 6 months to looking for house. Once we found the right place, she was on top, and ahead negotiations with the bank. Her extensive knowledge and good will between local agents, banks, inspector companies, and repair people meant we got things done without unnecessary delay. She called us every time something changed and helped us get the paperwork done in the ridiculously short period of time the bank desired.

April knows her stuff and best of all, No pressure, no muss, just skill and precision. She didn't sugar coat any part of our deal and she was quick to point out any hardships that might occur, rather than trying to make a quick sale and sticking us with problems later. I'd call that pretty amazing honesty. we feel lucky meet April and purchased our satisfying home.

I had the pleasure of working with Darcy and the Boyenga Team when selling my Los Gatos condo recently and couldn't be happier with the entire transaction. I received expert advice from the entire team throughout the prep and listing process, and even more importantly, the team listened and responded to my input. We sold quickly with multiple over-asking offers. Great job by Darcy and the entire team.

I recently sold my Los Gatos condo with the expert help Janelle and Darcy who were amazing in every way. I appreciated the spot on advice and genuine dedication to making a potentially stressful event smooth and easy. The entire Boyenga team is efficient, well organized, and communication could not have been better. We sold quickly with multiple offers that were over asking price.

I can't say enough great things about Daunielle. She helped us with buying our first home several years ago, and then turned around to help us sell late last year. Both processes were smooth and easy thanks to her. She is kind and patient, but straightforward, which is exactly what you want in someone helping walk you through your first time buying and selling a home. She answered probably a million of our questions and always offered pros and cons of any decision we were making. She is a great communicator and negotiator too. Some of her recommendations got us a whole lot more money than we expected from the sale! She is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and all-around easy to work with. We love Daunielle and would recommend her to anyone!

“I could not be more impressed with Daunielle's hard work, insight, overall brilliance with my Real Estate transaction (selling my property in Santa Clara).

Janelle and team were great throughout this process. They gave us good advice on prepping the house and on what to spend money on vs. not worth the effort.

Ultimately, we sold our home over asking price in under 24 hours from listing.

Janelle was also super responsive to my many questions throughout the process.

Great experience! We needed to sell quickly due to a job relocation and we couldn't be more pleased with how everything worked out. Eric's and Janelle's experience with the local market and process was extremely helpful and efficient. With their help and guidance, we were able to prepare our property and have an open house within a very short period of time, and then be under contract within days after. Their support staff, especially Paula, guided us through all of the documentation requirements. Because of our moving situation, we actually closed from out of state. Very convenient for us. I would recommend the Boyenga Team without hesitation.

Janelle, Eric and the entire team were excellent. I love their team approach. Every member has different strengths and capabilities. My sale was quite complicated given we had renters still in a lease and they were not excited about me having to sell the house before the lease was up. Janelle and the team handled this situation beautifully and with kindness and respect. They stayed on it under difficult circumstances. They got me a great price without doing a single open house or staging. The house was full of renter furniture and boxes and they still managed to get me a great price. I was happy with how responsive they were. A special call out to Paula who kept things moving when others on the team were busy or on vacation. I highly recommend the Boyenga team!

Mark

Darcy was great and understood my requirements completely. I was a single parent with two kids and could not afford to get into a bidding scenario and go over my budget. She kept me even when I was tempted and looked for alternate options. She helped me close on a great home at a wonderful price - one that actually had no bids and had just been lowered in price. In this crazy market! She also helped me with Termite company, movers, locksmith and anything everything I needed. She is a treasure.

I chose the Boyenga Team because they had wide experience in Silicon Valley. In working with them, I learned they were also thorough and honest. They were particularly considerate of my special needs; their expertise brought a rapid close to the sale of my home. .... Janet Dobson

I had a lot of agents that wanted my business when I was selling my sister's house but I am glad that I talked to Darcy, Eric and Janelle, who assured me that it was best to work with someone with a proven track record.  Our sale was a bit challenging from making sure the deed was recorded correctly to the fact that we had tenants in place, but the Boyenga Team stuck it out and in the end sold the house for over asking with multiple offers.  I would recommend them to anyone looking for a team that goes above and beyond.
