Christie’s International Real Estate Sereno

Local Knowledge With Worldwide Reach

Leslie Woods & CIRES

Your Community Is Our Community

I joined Sereno two years into my real estate career because it offered something rare in this industry: a culture built on values, local leadership, and genuine agent support. Here, you’re valued for who you are—not just your sales volume—which allows you to show up fully for your clients.

Since its founding in 2006, Christie’s International Real Estate Sereno has become the largest locally owned independent brokerage in Northern California, with 18 offices and more than 620 agents producing over $5 billion in annual sales. What matters most to me is that Sereno has grown with purpose, not ego.

Our commitment to giving back through the 1% for Good initiative, is part of what makes this place special. It shapes our culture, creates camaraderie, and fuels a collaborative spirit that gives real meaning and purpose to what we do. We work where you work. We live where you live. Your community is our community.

For me, this spirit is what makes Sereno home.
