The Boyenga Team is a leading Silicon Valley real estate group with a singular focus on mid-century modern and architecturally significant homes. Known for their deep expertise in post-war modern design, the team works across Palo Alto, Los Altos, Menlo Park, Portola Valley, Los Altos Hills, Saratoga, Santa Clara, and surrounding Bay Area communities where mid-mod homes are most highly valued.

Mid-century modern properties require a different level of knowledge than conventional housing. From post-and-beam construction and slab foundations to radiant heat, atriums, and indoor–outdoor living, the Boyenga Team understands what makes these homes special—and how to evaluate, market, and protect their architectural integrity.

With more than two decades of experience working with Eichler homes and other mid-century modern residences, Janelle and Eric Boyenga have guided hundreds of clients through the nuanced process of buying and selling design-forward properties. Their background in restorative construction allows them to assess renovation potential, preservation considerations, and value-enhancing improvements without compromising original design intent.

As founding partners of Compass Silicon Valley, the Boyenga Team combines data-driven strategy with design-centric marketing. Their approach highlights architecture first—using photography, storytelling, and targeted outreach to reach buyers who actively seek mid-century modern homes rather than treating them as generic listings.

The team also brings extensive experience in trust sales, estate transitions, and long-term ownership transfers—situations common with mid-century homes—providing steady guidance through complex, often emotional transactions.

Recognized industry-wide for their analytical mindset and modern marketing standards, the Boyenga Team has built a reputation for representing mid-century modern homes with accuracy, respect, and precision. For clients who value architecture, design, and informed decision-making, the Boyenga Team offers a level of expertise that goes far beyond traditional real estate.

Eric & Janelle Boyenga

Founded in 1996, the Boyenga Team was among the first collaborative real estate teams established in Silicon Valley. From the beginning, Eric and Janelle Boyenga built their practice around a simple principle: informed advocacy produces better outcomes—especially for distinctive, design-driven homes.

Today, the team includes more than 25 professionals whose combined experience spans well over a century of Bay Area real estate. Their structure is intentionally collaborative, pairing neighborhood-level specialists with architectural and market expertise to ensure clients receive guidance that reflects both location and property type—particularly mid-century modern and post-war modern homes.

Eric and Janelle are widely recognized for their analytical approach and deep curiosity about how homes function, age, and evolve. This reputation has earned the team industry recognition as forward-thinking agents and “Property Nerds,” known for understanding the details that matter—from construction systems and renovation implications to long-term value preservation.

The Boyenga Team sets a modern standard for marketing architecturally significant homes, using data, digital platforms, and strategic storytelling to reach buyers who appreciate design, originality, and quality. For clients navigating the sale or purchase of a mid-century modern home, Eric and Janelle Boyenga offer experience, perspective, and leadership rooted in nearly three decades of Silicon Valley real estate.
