Stanford Eichler Home Experts Redefining Silicon Valley Real Estate

Modern Architecture. Innovative Strategy. The Property Nerds of Silicon Valley.

Founded in 1998 by Eric and Janelle Boyenga, the Boyenga Team has spent over two decades redefining what modern real estate representation means in Silicon Valley. As founding partners at Compass, Eric and Janelle have built one of the region’s most respected, innovative, and design-driven real estate teams — a trusted name synonymous with architectural expertise, data intelligence, and marketing precision.

From the heart of Stanford’s Eichler neighborhoods to modern estates in Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Los Altos Hills, the Boyenga Team bridges the gap between architectural heritage and next-generation technology. Their mission: to celebrate and elevate Mid-Century Modern design while delivering exceptional results for Silicon Valley homeowners and buyers who share their passion for modern architecture.

🏡 Stanford Eichler Homes: Where Modernism Meets Innovation

Located near Stanford University, the Stanford Eichler communities represent the golden age of California modernism — neighborhoods where architecture, nature, and community coexist in perfect balance. Designed by Joseph Eichler and his pioneering team of architects — including Anshen + Allen, Claude Oakland & Associates, and Jones & Emmons — these homes embody the philosophy that great design should be accessible, functional, and inspiring.

With their signature post-and-beam lines, radiant-heat floors, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and walls of glass, Stanford Eichlers were built for the creative minds of their time — professors, scientists, and innovators drawn to the area’s academic energy and design ethos. Today, they remain among the most architecturally coveted properties in the Bay Area, appealing to both tech visionaries and design purists who value authenticity and livability.

The Boyenga Team celebrates this legacy by representing Stanford Eichlers not just as homes, but as architectural statements — each one a reflection of Silicon Valley’s modernist roots and forward-thinking spirit.

💡 The Boyenga Team Advantage: Data-Driven. Design-Focused. Future-Ready.

From the outset, Eric and Janelle envisioned a real estate experience built for the modern era — one that merges technology, storytelling, and design. Today, their full-service group of Next-Gen Agents, marketing strategists, and creative consultants executes that mission through Compass’s cutting-edge platform, offering clients unparalleled access to:

Whether it’s an original atrium model near Stanford University or a reimagined modern retreat in Palo Alto, the Boyenga Team’s presentation transforms homes into stories that resonate with design-minded buyers across Silicon Valley and beyond.

🌿 Mid-Century Modern Expertise Rooted in Passion and Precision

As Silicon Valley’s leading Mid-Century Modern real estate specialists, the Boyenga Team has become synonymous with Eichler expertise and architectural authenticity. Their appreciation for California modernism extends beyond Eichler — encompassing homes by Mackay, Cliff May, Bahl, Gavello, and other visionary builders who defined the era.

From restored originals to architect-redesigned modern interpretations, the team’s nuanced understanding of post-war architecture and market psychology allows them to position each home with accuracy and creativity. Their process combines academic-level research, storytelling, and strategic pricing — achieving record sales and setting new standards for how Mid-Century properties are represented.

As true Property Nerds, Eric and Janelle obsess over details: radiant-heat systems, mahogany paneling, roofline variations, and floor-to-ceiling window orientation. Their expertise turns architectural vocabulary into marketing advantage.

🏠 Stanford Eichler Communities and Lifestyle

Stanford’s Eichler neighborhoods are celebrated for their tree-lined streets, strong community culture, and architectural integrity. Just minutes from Stanford University, California Avenue, and the Stanford Shopping Center, these enclaves attract a dynamic mix of professors, entrepreneurs, and creatives who value both form and function.

Homeowners enjoy access to top-rated Palo Alto schools, parks and open spaces, and Mid-Century preservation initiatives that keep the architectural legacy alive. Each Eichler reflects a shared belief in openness, light, and connection — principles that resonate with Silicon Valley’s innovative DNA.

Whether you’re buying your first modern home or selling an architecturally significant property, the Boyenga Team delivers a full-circle experience grounded in market knowledge, design fluency, and personalized strategy.

🧠 A Trusted Name in Modern Real Estate Media

The Boyenga Team’s pioneering work in modern and architectural real estate has earned national recognition from top media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The New York Times, NBC News, SFGate, Business Insider, and Inman.
Publications such as Robb Report, San Francisco Chronicle, and Silicon Valley Business Journal have spotlighted their record-setting sales and modern marketing innovation, reinforcing their reputation as trusted voices in the evolution of Bay Area real estate.

Their success lies not just in selling homes, but in educating and empowering clients to appreciate architecture as an investment in both design and lifestyle.

🚀 Innovation. Integrity. Architectural Storytelling.

Through Compass, the Boyenga Team continues to push the boundaries of modern real estate representation. Their integration of data, design, and digital storytelling ensures that every Eichler home — whether in Stanford, Palo Alto, or Los Altos — receives a marketing strategy as innovative as its architecture.

Their guiding philosophy is simple:

This principle has earned them a loyal clientele of Silicon Valley professionals, design enthusiasts, and homeowners who trust their vision, precision, and architectural understanding.
