Selling a family home after 63+ years is incredibly emotional, and I knew I needed the right people…read moreto guide me through it. After my parents passed, I had to sell the home I grew up in in San Jose, CA. I interviewed several realtors but never felt the connection I was looking for. Then I found a flyer, did some research, and called Andy and Ben. From our first meeting I knew they were the right choice -- genuine, trustworthy, and compassionate. They didn't just list the house -- they managed the entire process from start to finish. They coordinated: Cleanup and preparation Repairs and construction work Landscaping and restoration of my mom's garden Contractors and scheduling A detailed timeline with constant updates They provided a clear plan showing exactly what would be done and when, and they stuck to it. There were no surprises and they kept me informed every step of the way. Even more impressive, there were no upfront costs -- everything was handled through escrow at closing, which removed a huge amount of stress during a difficult time. Because of their networking and local knowledge of the area, they found a direct buyer before the home even hit the market, and it sold at top dollar! Andy and Ben truly went above and beyond. They treated my parents' home with care and respect, even planting beautiful new flowers in my mother's garden. I'm incredibly grateful for how smoothly they handled such an emotional process. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who wants professionals that genuinely care and take full responsibility for the job. -- Joe R.

My wife and I first met Steve Taormina back in March of 2013, when we were beginning the process of…read morelisting our home for sale. Steve was recommended by a co-worker and when I heard that he worked for Sereno Group, he already had instant credibility in my book; as Sereno Group is a very reputable agency. He came over to our house and we immediately knew that he was the agent for us. Steve is really friendly and has a great sense of humor. He is very genuine and his diligent work ethic, coupled with his congenial personality, made him a pleasure to work with. Steve went the extra mile for us in every aspect of the process, from the very professional flyer to advertising the listing in the local Willow Glen newspaper, to the staging of the open house. I was very impressed with the way he hosted and greeted the people who were attending the open house. He made it a very welcoming experience and he made them feel like important buyers. We had one weekend of open house (Sat & Sun) and we received five offers (all over list price) within the week. I remember Steve coming over with a bottle of champagne the night we reviewed the offers. He is just an all around Class Act. We were so impressed with Steve, that we used his services again when we were looking to buy another home. My wife and I had a great time looking at houses with Steve. His enthusiasm, along with his wit and his easy going nature, helped make a somewhat stressful process quite enjoyable. Due to his hard work and determination, we were able to buy the home of our dreams. It was a short sale that took about six months to close. Actually, the lender in this particular case was not very organized and the sellers had two loans outstanding that needed to be handled. Moreover, the home was already in pre-foreclosure and the deal could have fallen apart at any time. This is where Steve's expertise and his meticulous and professional work ethic really made the difference. He was very thorough and he was on top of handling the contract and creating the extension addendums, along with working with both me and the listing agent to get the job done. He was very receptive and answered all my emails right away and kept in touch constantly. And he had his back-up team at Sereno Group on call and in touch with us as well. We felt very confident knowing that we had an excellent team working for us, with Steve at the helm. I just can't say enough about Steve! Bottom line....he is The Best! And I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking to either buy or sell a home. We were privileged to have him working for us and I am convinced that we would have not gotten this beautiful home if it weren't for him. =)

From our very first conversation, he impressed us with his deep knowledge and thoughtful insights into the unique nuances that make each Eichler home so special. There was never any sense of pressure, just a genuine passion for architecture and an honest conversation that immediately put us at ease. As a real estate professional myself, Eric's sincerity and expertise stood out from the start, and we both knew right away that he was the agent we wanted to work with. As my husband and I deliberate on our purchase, Eric introduced us to his better half, Janelle. Janelle mirrors Eric in every way, she offered strategic guidance on design, preservation, and potential upgrades that respected the home's original charm. She was always exceptionally responsive, providing clear, timely communication that made us feel completely supported and informed throughout the entire process. Even after closing, Janelle's support didn't stop. She made sure we were fully settled and comfortable in our new home, which meant so much to us. We're so grateful to have crossed paths with Eric and Janelle. What began as a casual home search quickly led us to our forever home. To anyone looking for a real estate team that leads with both heart and expertise, the Boyenga Team is absolutely the way to go! All the best, Anh and Cliff

She makes the process easy and stress-free--always two steps ahead and always delivering. What stands out most is how truly helpful she is at every step. From day one, she lays out a clear plan--pricing strategy, comps, timelines, and checklists--so you always know what's next. She proactively coordinates everything (inspectors, stagers, photographers, handypeople, lenders, title)--one text and it's handled. She explains options and trade-offs in plain English, whether it's offer terms, contingencies, rent-backs, or appraisal/inspection nuances, and she gives practical recommendations so decisions feel simple, not overwhelming. Her communication is elite: timely updates, quick responses, and thoughtful reminders that keep everyone aligned. When unexpected issues pop up (they always do), she stays calm, brings solutions, and keeps the deal moving without drama. Her network is deep and reliable, covering every facet of a home purchase or sale, so there's truly nothing to worry about. I put my full trust in Janelle and she has never disappointed. Her husband, Eric, is equally helpful and knowledgeable, and I always feel taken care of when I'm working with them. They're your one-stop shop for buying or selling a home, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Truly the best of the best.

I never had to visit San Jose to proceed the sale. Tuan and his team made it possible with timely manner. I could trust him since he always made it work and showed results for years for my rental property. Now looking back, I appreciate him and his team so much for what they have done for me. Tuan is always positive, patient, and friendly even though he has so many clients and properties that he handles. He is a wonderful family man, too. It was fun to work with him.

Shilpa, who we worked with more closely throughout both home purchases, is knowledgeable, responsive, and always looking out for her clients' best interests. At the same time, she's realistic and honest about the situation. She follows through on her commitments, stays on top of every detail, and is always on time and prepared.
