The Boyenga Team · Compass
Eric & Janelle Boyenga
Founding partners of Compass in Silicon Valley, and the Bay Area’s most dedicated Eichler specialists.
Background & Credentials
Twenty years of “Property Nerds”
Eric and Janelle Boyenga are founding partners of Compass in Silicon Valley, with over two decades of experience in the local real estate market. Known as the “Property Nerds,” they bring a genuine passion for mid-century modern design to every transaction — and as members of the Eichler Network, they’re deeply embedded in the community of preservationists and enthusiasts who care as much about these homes as their clients do.
Their track record includes over $2.1 billion in sales and more than 2,000 homes sold, with a career-long focus on connecting architectural homes with the owners who will appreciate them most.
How We Work
Marketing built for a very specific buyer
Selling a rare Eichler isn’t about listing square footage — it’s about telling a story and finding the audience that will pay for it.
Storytelling & Photography
Professional photography and drone footage that highlight architectural history and the flow between indoor and outdoor space.
Compass Concierge
We front the cost of staging, repairs, painting, and tasteful updates — no upfront cost to the seller, and a home presented at its best.
Private Exclusives & Networks
Off-market tools and our own database of Eichler enthusiasts and collectors match homes with qualified buyers before — or instead of — the open MLS.
Passion & Knowledge
Real fluency in the architecture, not just the address
- A deep understanding of architects like Claude Oakland and Anshen & Allen, whose work shaped Eichlers across the Bay Area.
- Practical, Eichler-specific expertise — radiant heating systems, glass walls, flat roofs, and atrium drainage.
- Calm, credible negotiation — for sellers, evaluating offers on buyer intent, not just price; for buyers, crafting offers that stand out.
