LOS GATOS, Calif., July 1, 2022  /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Christie's International Real Estate Sereno Welcomes Shawna Borg as Vice President of Operations

Christie's International Real Estate Sereno has hired Shawna Borg, former Compass Regional Executive, as Vice President of Operations. Borg brings extensive market knowledge and decades of operations experience to her role.

"Having Shawna as part of our firm is a significant benefit to our ongoing operational efficiency and positive agent experience. By leveraging her talents at prior firms, Shawna has earned a great deal of respect with some of the most impressive real estate agents on the Peninsula. We are fortunate to be aligning with her at this exciting stage of our firm given the opportunity we see to capture increasing market share throughout the San Francisco Bay Area," said Ryan Iwanaga, Co-Founder and Chief Experience Officer.

As Vice President of Operations, Borg will lead the organization in continuing to strengthen its operation and infrastructure across the region. She will be instrumental in supporting the overall growth of the largest locally-led and independently-owned brokerage firm in Northern California.

"I strive to tap into the talent and energy of our existing people and operations, and empower each department for successful growth. Bringing our teams together that work with our agents and platforms every day will help us align with passion and purpose to deliver meaningful support for everyone at Sereno," shared Borg.

Sereno recently partnered with Christie's International Real Estate in February 2022, giving the firm access to a luxury brokerage network with affiliates in almost 50 nations and territories. The luxury brand affiliation is significant given that the firm is active in four of the nation's top 10 zip codes for median home price, including Atherton, California, which holds the number one spot at $7 million.

The firm is also opening a new office in Menlo Park this month, anchored by a group of previous Compass agents who completed almost $250M in sales last year.

"We are thrilled to have Shawna as part of Christie's International Real Estate Sereno. Her experience, knowledge, and passion for our industry will greatly benefit our organization and our agents. During a time when other firms are scaling back resources, we are proud of the responsible way in which we continue to approach the business. It has paved the way for sustained reinvestment and success," expressed Chris Trapani, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer.
