Our History
In 2006, a small group of pioneering real estate thought leaders in Silicon Valley broke free from the impersonal mega-office model and formed a boutique agency focused on amplifying hyper-local intelligence and agent collaboration to best serve the needs of their clients.
Each pledged to be the single positive difference in their client’s experience.
Our Team
Sereno rose to become one of the top four real estate firms in the San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz counties by overall annual sales volume. The sales team has the distinction of ranking as the highest per agent productivity compared to other leading brokerages in local markets. RealTrends listed Sereno in the top five for Closed Sales Volume per Sales Associate as compared to all brokerages in the US.
