Atherton Eichler & Mid-Century Modern Home Specialists

Shaping Architectural Real Estate on the Peninsula

Since 1998, Eric and Janelle Boyenga have been at the forefront of modern, architecture-driven real estate across the Peninsula and Silicon Valley. As founding partners at Compass Real Estate, the Boyenga Team has established one of the Bay Area’s most respected design-focused brands — recognized for deep Eichler knowledge, refined architectural marketing, and elite representation of luxury homes in Atherton and surrounding communities.

Their work blends decades of experience with a passion for California Modernism, making them a trusted resource for buyers and sellers navigating Atherton’s highly exclusive residential landscape.

Atherton Eichler & Mid-Century Modern Experts with a Proven Track Record

As respected specialists in Eichler and mid-century modern real estate, the Boyenga Team advises discerning Atherton homeowners and buyers who value architectural authenticity, privacy, and long-term value. While Atherton is best known for expansive estates and custom luxury residences, select pockets feature mid-century modern and Eichler-influenced homes built during the postwar era — properties that require specialized understanding to market and evaluate properly.

Eric and Janelle’s expertise spans original Eichler design principles, custom modern estates from the 1950s–70s, and contemporary architectural homes inspired by mid-century ideals. Their insight into lot size, zoning, redevelopment potential, and architectural significance gives clients a strategic advantage in one of the nation’s most competitive real estate markets.

Backed by Compass’s national technology platform, their approach combines design storytelling with precise pricing analytics. Programs such as Compass Concierge, Private Exclusives, and HomeLight Buy Before You Sell allow Atherton sellers to prepare, position, and present their homes at the highest level.

Atherton’s Modern & Mid-Century Architectural Landscape

Atherton’s reputation as a luxury enclave often overshadows its quieter modernist history. Tucked among mature oaks and expansive parcels are architect-designed homes that reflect California Modern principles — openness, simplicity, and harmony with nature.

• Fair Oaks & Lindenwood-adjacent areas — custom mid-century and ranch-modern homes on generous lots, many thoughtfully integrated into landscaped settings

• West Atherton & Selby Lane corridors — architect-designed residences blending post-and-beam construction, glass-forward design, and indoor-outdoor flow

• Estate Moderns & Contemporary Architectural Builds — homes that reinterpret mid-century ideals through today’s materials, scale, and luxury standards

Whether representing a preserved modern original, a re-envisioned mid-century estate, or a contemporary architectural masterpiece, the Boyenga Team approaches every Atherton property with architectural fluency and discretion.

Silicon Valley’s Property Nerds & Next-Generation Real Estate Advisors

Known throughout Northern California as Silicon Valley’s Property Nerds, Eric and Janelle Boyenga unite creativity, technology, and design intelligence to elevate how architectural homes are marketed. Every Atherton listing is curated as a design and lifestyle narrative, crafted to resonate with sophisticated buyers who appreciate form, proportion, and setting.

Through cinematic videography, twilight imagery, and AI-driven digital strategy, the Boyenga Team ensures each property stands apart — not simply as a luxury home, but as a meaningful architectural offering within Atherton’s rarefied market.

Nationally Recognized Authorities in Eichler & Modern Real Estate

The Boyenga Team’s leadership in Eichler and mid-century modern real estate has earned national recognition. Their record-setting sales and market insights have been featured by The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, NBC News, SFGate, Business Insider, and other major outlets.

Regional publications including the San Francisco Chronicle and Silicon Valley Business Journal have highlighted their role in architectural advocacy, preservation-minded marketing, and innovation within the Peninsula’s luxury housing market.

A Philosophy Centered on Design, Innovation & Trust
