Allie Fornesi
Realtor & Interior Designer at Own Marin
Marin is home—always has been. I grew up hiking its trails, celebrating birthdays at Stinson, and soaking up everything that makes this place magical. Now, I help my clients do the same—whether that means selling for top dollar, finding the dream home, or uncovering a hidden gem before anyone else even knows it exists.
As a top agent at Own Marin, I’ve proudly been part of Marin’s #1 real estate team since 2015, contributing to over $2.7 billion in total sales. In the last five years I’ve personally sold over $350 million in Marin real estate and helped more than 150+ buyers and sellers reach their real estate goals in Marin. My track record speaks for itself—strategic marketing, expert negotiation, and deep local connections that give my clients an edge in Marin real estate.
My goal? To make buying and selling seamless, strategic, and dare I say, fun! I genuinely love what I do and the people I work with. I’ll always tell you what you need to hear (even when it’s not what you want to hear), and I’ll work relentlessly to get you the best possible outcome. No filler, no fluff—just experience, market savvy, and creative problem-solving at every turn.

MY APPROACH
Real estate isn’t just about buying and selling—it’s about playing your cards right.
In this business, relationships matter. The friendships I’ve built within the agent community help my clients in ways that go beyond the obvious. A strong network means better communication, smoother negotiations, and access to opportunities before they hit the market. Being a trusted agent in this space means collaboration, not competition, and I take pride in fostering great relationships that ultimately benefit my clients.

Integrity and Kindness Always Win
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial and emotional moves you’ll ever make, and you deserve a partner who’s all in. My mission is to redefine what it means to work with a realtor—cutting through the noise with transparency, strategy, and a relentless drive to help you reach your goals. I thrive on delivering standout design, sharp negotiation, and a warm, personalized experience. I expect my clients to be just as invested in the process as I am, because the best results happen when we work together.
Every detail matters, every dollar counts, and every decision should move you toward the life you want. Whether you’re selling, buying, or both—I’m here to make it seamless, strategic, and (yes) even enjoyable.

Off the Clock (kind of)
When I’m not house hunting or prepping homes for market, you’ll find me on the trails—every morning, without fail. A one-hour hike to take in the fresh mountain air, and set the tone for the day. I live in Mill Valley with my husband, a general contractor who moonlights as my personal handyman (lucky me), and our two little ones—ages 1 and 4, the sweetest duo. I have an obsession with live music and great food, which means if you ever need a dinner recommendation, I’ve got you covered.
Problem-Solving is My Superpower
In real estate, surprises are inevitable—but I don’t do panic. I do solutions. With a BA in Psychology, I’ve always been drawn to understanding people and helping them navigate big decisions. I’ve seen it all, negotiated through it all, and built the kind of network that gets things done. When challenges pop up (and they will), I handle them so you don’t have to.

“It's rare that you meet someone who is creative, with a natural talent for design, yet who is methodical, detail-oriented and tech-savvy. It's even more rare to find all those qualities in a realtor. Add to that excellent communication skills and a fierce negotiator with an upbeat attitude and you have Allie Fornesi.”
