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

Eric, 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!
