Boyenga Team + Compass

Oakland Eichler & Modern Home Experts Redefining East Bay Living

Meet Eric and Janelle Boyenga

The Boyenga Team at Compass brings a Property Nerd approach to real estate: ask specific questions, document the answers and connect a home’s design with the practical decisions involved in buying or selling.

An Oakland focus

This site helps you explore Oakland Eichler and mid-century modern homes without treating every modern house as the same product. Our neighborhood guides distinguish documented Eichler history from broader architectural search areas. Confirm a particular home’s builder, designer and alterations through reliable records.

How we approach a conversation

Start with your goals, timing and the address or search area. For sellers, discuss preparation, presentation and current comparable evidence. For buyers, organize the search around layout, location, condition and the documents needed to evaluate each candidate.

Architecture with practical context

Light, materials and indoor-outdoor connections matter, alongside maintenance, access and ownership costs. Technical condition, structural work and permit questions should be reviewed by the appropriate qualified professionals. A compelling architectural story should be supported by evidence.

Clear expectations

Discuss the scope of representation, communication, marketing options and costs before committing to a plan. Program availability and terms vary; a website description is not a promise of financing, exclusive inventory or a particular result.
