Graeham Watts and his team are absolutely incredible. He recently marketed and sold my home in East Palo Alto, and I couldn't be happier with how everything went.From start to finish, Graeham and his team took care of literally everything. I didn't have to worry about a thing because they handled all the disclosures and coordinated directly with contractors to get the house ready. Their execution was flawless, and they kept everything moving forward without any stress on my end.

Graeham's deep understanding of the East Palo Alto housing market was evident in how beautifully he positioned and marketed the property. If you want a real estate team that handles all the heavy lifting and actually delivers on their promises, look no further. I highly recommend Graeham and his team!

Trupti is the best real estate agent we have ever worked with! She truly cares about her clients, and working with her was one of the big highlights of buying a home in the Bay Area. Trupti is so detail oriented and extremely knowledgable about the housing market and home-buying process in the Bay Area. She is diligent and quick in her follow-ups and also extraordinarily competent. She not only took the time to very patiently answer the many questions that we had for her, but she also very much advocated on our behalf between all parties and helped clarify any points of confusion super efficiently. We would absolutely recommend her to ANYONE buying a home in the Bay Area!!!

I’m not moving by choice. I decided It’s necessary and the best choice I have. Therefore, when the sale was announced, I was not able to burst into happy mode. However, my situation does not prevent me from recognizing good professional work. I want to thank you for your support and flexibility. You accepted my ideas and worked with me to prepare the house and me for The sale. And you were patient and adaptedto my pace. 
I also went to Express my appreciation and gratitude for the great work that Jamie did, she devoted A lot of her time to me, did everything I asked her to do even if it was an unconventional. She listen to me and worked very hard. I often tested her and she always passed The test.
I’m glad I chose the Boyenga Team

Selling our home with Eric and Janelle was one of the best decisions we’ve made. They approached every detail with intention — from advising on smart upgrades to crafting beautiful marketing that truly showcased our property. Their strategic launch plan brought in serious buyers right away, and their negotiation skills helped us secure an outstanding final price. We always felt supported, informed, and prioritized. The Boyenga Team is on a different level.

The Boyenga Team is fantastic, and working with Janelle is always a delight. I’ve bought and sold with her over the years, and she’s consistently helpful, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. 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.
