Allie Fornesi | Marin Realtor + Interior Designer - Corte Madera, California

Erika B.

Allie helped my partner and I buy our dream home! As first time home buyers, there was a lot we didn’t know. Allie took the time to explain everything to us and was readily available whenever things came up. She helped us craft the perfect offer for our home. It was the first and only offer we placed. In such a competitive market, I was amazed at how smooth the process was, all thanks to Allie’s guidance. We couldn’t be happier! I highly recommend Allie at Own Marin if you’re in the market to buy or sell.

We had the pleasure of working with Allie Fornesi to find our home in Mill Valley, and we couldn't be more grateful for her expertise and dedication.

From our very first meeting, Allie was attentive, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local market (and micro climates!). She made sure we understood every step of the process, and her advice was spot-on in helping us navigate the competitive Marin real estate landscape. It helps that she is super connected and has access to off-market opportunities.

Her eye for space, layout, and potential made such a difference when we were looking at homes. She was able to quickly point out both the possibilities and limitations of each property, which was incredibly helpful.

What really stood out to us was her genuine care for our needs—she truly listened to what we wanted and didn’t just push us into a quick decision - it took us 3 years to find what we were looking for and she stuck with us. She was always available to answer questions and provide guidance, even when we had concerns about the smallest details.

Allie goes above and beyond for her clients, and we felt completely supported throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in Marin—her professionalism, honesty, and warmth are unmatched!

From the outset, she demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the market, guiding us through each step with clarity and precision. What sets Allie apart is her unwavering commitment to her clients — she handled every detail meticulously and was always available to answer questions or offer advice, no matter how small.

In addition to expertly negotiating on our behalf, she consistently went above and beyond her typical responsibilities to ensure the deal stayed on track. Her dedication didn’t stop at closing; she continued to check in on us post-purchase, offering assistance and even design suggestions for our new home.

Allie’s professionalism, resourcefulness, and genuine care for her clients make her the very best at what she does. We can’t recommend her highly enough. If you want someone who will truly move mountains to help you find and secure your dream home, Allie is the agent you need by your side.

Allie is a fantastic agent who was a huge help in buying our house in San Rafael earlier this year. She knows Marin well (grew up here), is connected with tons of agents (big help for fact finding and negotiations), has a great eye for design and renovations, and is very easy and pleasant to work with. I’d strongly recommend her and would happily hire her again to buy or sell a property.

I recently bought my first home, and I couldn’t have done it without Allie! She was incredibly kind, caring, and thorough throughout the entire process. Allie helped us craft the perfect offer, and we ultimately got our dream home with her contacts and insider knowledge being the factor that got it done. Highly recommend her!

The Best Real Estate Agent You Could Ask For!

After years of searching for our perfect home, we can confidently say that our real estate agent, Allie Fornesi, is nothing short of extraordinary. As empty nesters moving from San Francisco to Mill Valley, we were completely unfamiliar with the nuances of the area. From day one, she demonstrated exceptional patience, deep knowledge, and unwavering honesty.

We are admittedly picky and demanding clients, but she never once lost her patience or made us feel like we were asking too much. Instead, she leaned into the challenge, guiding us with expert advice and genuine care. Her knowledge of Mill Valley is unparalleled—she knows every neighborhood, every street, and every consideration unique to the area.

What truly set Allie apart was her commitment to protecting us from making poor decisions. She wasn’t afraid to discourage us from homes that didn’t align with our goals, even when it might have been easier to simply let us proceed.

Beyond Allie’s market expertise, she was flawless in handling the administrative aspects of our purchase and became our fiercest advocate during a complex off-market negotiation. Thanks to her skillful guidance and strategic approach, we landed our absolute dream home in an area of Mill Valley we hadn’t even considered.

If you’re looking for someone who is not only a brilliant real estate agent but also a trusted advisor, advocate, and coach, look no further than Allie Fornesi. We wouldn’t hesitate to buy or sell any property with her again. She is simply the best!

Allie is without a doubt the greatest broker of all time. She worked tirelessly with the highest level of integrity and intelligence and fierce advocacy for me as her client. I felt confident through every part of my process that I was in the most capable hands and she earned my complete trust. I am sure I would not have been able to close the deal on my house with any other broker. She is the BEST both personally and professionally and I give her the absolute highest recommendation possible. Thank you Allie!

If you want to get your dream house on a very tight budget, you MUST have Allie on your side. She educated us about the market, she guided us through the challenging process and she closed the deal like a pro! but she didn't stop there! She gave us the best suggestions for the basic remodeling and great referrals for trustworthy contractors. All agents know Allie, so you always get a special attention from touring open houses to closing the deal. Thank you, Allie & Team!
