Yelena Laudati is a multilingual, highly strategic San Francisco real estate advisor who knows how to navigate transactions beyond the ordinary.

Yelena Laudati is a San Francisco real estate advisor with Compass, recognized among the RealTrends Verified Top 1.5% of real estate professionals nationwide.

Since 2013, Yelena has represented buyers and sellers throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area, combining market intelligence, meticulous preparation, strategic negotiation, and an unwavering commitment to protecting her clients' interests.

For sellers, Yelena approaches every home as a strategic project. From property preparation and pricing to positioning, marketing, and negotiations, every decision has a purpose: to help achieve the strongest possible outcome.

For buyers, she looks beyond the listing. Her approach includes identifying on- and off-market opportunities, evaluating risk, analyzing value, understanding contract terms, and crafting compelling offers that stand out in competitive situations.

Before entering real estate, Yelena spent 15 years managing law firms, developing the discipline, attention to detail, and negotiation skills that continue to shape her approach today.

Her business has grown primarily through referrals, repeat clients, and relationships built on trust, transparency, and results.

Born in Odessa, Ukraine, Yelena moved to San Francisco at age 14. She speaks English, Russian, and Italian, allowing her to connect with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds.

A Personal Connection to Real Estate

Yelena's connection to San Francisco real estate is personal as well as professional. A San Francisco homeowner since age 25 and an investment property owner herself, she understands real estate from multiple perspectives — as an advisor, homeowner, and investor.

A longtime San Francisco resident, Yelena is married, a proud mother of three, plus one four-legged baby — her beloved Bernedoodle, Ivy. 🐾

She does practically everything to music and loves to dance, but pickleball is her favorite healthy obsession. When she is not negotiating real estate deals, you will find her spending time with family and friends or on the pickleball courts, always working on taking her game to the next level.

🎬 Creator & Host of Transaction Confidential

Real stories between “Just Listed” and “Just Sold.”

Through her original real estate storytelling series, Yelena shares the unexpected twists, high-stakes negotiations, difficult decisions, and behind-the-scenes moments that rarely make it into a listing description.

With a combination of humor, transparency, and real-world experience, she reveals why strategy, communication, and knowing the contract matter just as much as the final sale price.

Because “Just Sold” is the least interesting part of any transaction.

🐺 Strategic by Nature. Positioned to Win.

The wolf behind Yelena's brand represents instinct, intelligence, strategy, loyalty, and a fiercely protective approach to the people who place their trust in her.

Whether buying a first home, selling a longtime family property, or navigating an investment decision, her goal is the same: to help clients make informed decisions, negotiate from a position of strength, and move forward with confidence.
