Meet Nona Ehyaei, PhD, a scientist turned San Francisco Bay Area Realtor.
Nona ranks in the top 1.5% of real estate agents in the country. As a top luxury agent, she has worked with company founders, venture capitalists, and leaders across large corporations & their families in the San Francisco Bay Area as they bought and sold their homes. Her background in the tech world enables her to connect with her clients and align with their data driven approach.
After earning her PhD in science and completing postdoctoral research at UC San Diego, Nona moved to the Bay Area, where she led research at biotech startups. She spent years studying complex systems - how small variables create big outcomes. Real estate operates the same way. Every home, every market, every client has its own ecosystem. Her job is to decode it - to find the patterns, evaluate options & explain trade-offs, and guide clients with clarity & confidence.
Nona leverages her vast network of professional and real estate contacts to market her clients' properties. She knows how valuable their time is and she ensures that every interaction is purposeful. Her dedication to the best interests of her clients leads to 100% satisfaction and long lasting relationships.
Buying Your Home

She combines your personal preferences with her extensive knowledge of Bay Area neighborhoods and trends to find your perfect home. Working with her, you'll have access to exclusive off-market properties. Her negotiation skills can help you win against competing offers in a hot market. Also, her strong ethical foundation ensures that every transaction is conducted with integrity and transparency.
Selling Your Home
Nona's goal is to maximize your home's value while minimizing stress throughout the selling process. She combines strategic pricing, professional marketing, and innovative technology to position your property for success. Leveraging her extensive network of agents, buyers, technology professionals, founders, and investors, she creates demand before your home reaches the broader market, helping clients achieve exceptional results.
