Where our story begins...

Start up life of a Property Nerd 🤓

It started six months ago over a Philz coffee with a simple question. How could we as a real estate team repair the reputation of the real estate industry, increase our value to consumers, and become role models for agents? Our mission was clouded by the fact that we were working against the industry and its governing bodies It would take a serious pattern disruption to reengineer the industry. But we had a great role model in the form of Silicon Valley start-ups.

As agents we envisioned a work environment where we could grow our business by utilizing technology to streamline the process and using data and modeling to better advise our clients, all while offering the consumer a truly transparent real estate experience. Thus began the journey of the Property Nerds…

What is a Property Nerd, you ask? First and foremost, real estate would need to be in their blood. When you ask agents why they like real estate, many say “I can make my own schedule.” Anyone who adopts this attitude has not worked in Silicon Valley. Our team has a no “part-timers” rule, in response to changing consumer demands, which are driven by the speed of information and data. In this valley where you swim with the sharks, our role as a Guardian is actually more important than our role as an advisor. So we developed a simple Mission statement, or what is to become known as the Property Nerds Pledge.

We the Property Nerds of the Boyenga Team in an effort to unlock homeownership, establish a painless and predictable process, respect your boundaries, pledge to protect and defend your best interest in order to Engineer your Happiness™

WE ARE KNOWN FOR BEING GUARDIANS

Why is a “guardian” different from an advisor? If you think about it, the answer is simple. An advisor (think attorney) can give you counsel and then detach themselves from your goals. As guardians, we internalize your goals by listening carefully, being discrete, protecting your best interests as if they were our own and understand that this is an important journey for you and your family.
