About

As a key member of The Krishnan Team, one of San Francisco’s leading real estate teams, Yesenia has successfully guided clients through hundreds of transactions, consistently ranking among the top in the industry. On average, she is involved in several transactions weekly, ensuring that she stays on top of the latest market trends and activity, providing clients with the most current and effective strategies.

Born and raised in San Francisco to two hardworking immigrant parents, Yesenia grew up with an intimate understanding of the city’s diverse neighborhoods and a strong work ethic. Watching her parents tirelessly create a better life for her and her siblings instilled in her a deep sense of grit, determination, and a belief that anything is possible and believes that “If they could come to a new country without speaking the language and build a life, I know I can overcome any challenge.”
This background drives her unwavering commitment to her clients, where her passion is evident in every detail.

She is not just focused on closing deals — she is dedicated to creating experiences so exceptional that her clients would never want to work with anyone else. Whether buying or selling, Yesenia works tirelessly to ensure every client not only achieves their real estate goals but does so with ease and confidence. Her goal is to make each client feel like they are her top priority, and she’s committed to making sure they eagerly refer her to everyone they know.

Before entering real estate, Yesenia managed a luxury concierge service for high-net-worth clients, where she honed her ability to provide white-glove service. This experience sharpened her attention to detail, proactive problem-solving, and personalized care—traits she carries into her real estate practice today.

Outside of real estate, Yesenia believes in living a well-rounded life. She loves long walks through the city she calls home, spending time with family and friends, attending yoga classes, and experimenting with new recipes. Travel, too, is a deep passion, as she believes experiencing new cultures is the best way to gain perspective and appreciation for life’s diversity.

For Yesenia, real estate is more than a career — it’s a lifelong passion rooted in her love for the city and the people she serves. She strives to build lasting connections with her clients, offering guidance, support, and friendship long after completing the transaction. With Yesenia, you’re not just hiring a real estate agent—you’re gaining a trusted partner who cares deeply about your success and happiness.
