Yelena Area

Strong negotiation. Sharp instincts. A personal commitment to your success.

I am Yelena Laudati with Compass, recognized by RealTrends in 2026 among the top 1.5% of real estate professionals nationwide and in San Francisco. With more than 10 years of experience, I help buyers and sellers throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area make informed decisions and negotiate from a position of strength.

I am naturally curious, energetic, and persistent. I love listening to people’s stories, understanding what matters to them, and solving the problems standing between them and their next chapter. That starts with asking thoughtful questions and listening closely to your answers.

I tell you what you need to hear, not simply what you want to hear. Your success is my success, and I do not take that responsibility lightly. You can expect honest advice, clear communication, attention to detail, and an advocate who stays involved when things get complicated.

Selling? I combine an eye for design with strategic pricing, thoughtful preparation, and compelling marketing. I help you decide which improvements deserve your money, make your home stand out, and negotiate with your proceeds, timing, and priorities in mind.

Buying? I look beyond beautiful photographs and asking prices. Together, we examine value, disclosures, condition, and resale considerations. I enjoy finding opportunities and structuring competitive offers, but I will also tell you when I believe it is time to walk away.

I purchased my first San Francisco home at 25 and am raising my family in the city I call home. I understand that a move is both a financial decision and a deeply personal one. Originally from Odessa, Ukraine, I speak English, Russian, and Italian.

Tell me what your next chapter looks like. Let us build a strategy to get you there.

🐺 Strategic by nature. POSITIONED TO WIN.
