The House is a boutique real estate and design collective rooted in Marin and inspired by California living. Created to bring more meaning to the real estate experience, we blend strategy, elevated style, and local expertise to redefine what it means to buy, sell, and feel at home in Marin.

Who We Are

The House is powered by a collective of Marin’s leading real estate agents. Founded by Allie Fornesi, whose decade of Marin real estate experience is shaped by a background in design, branding, and marketing—alongside Julia Fitzpatrick, Susannah Searson, and Whitney Blickman—with in-house Marketing and Operations Lead, Olivia McGovern.

Together, we bring more than 30 years of market experience and have guided clients through over 450 homes and $850M+ in Marin real estate—a reflection of trust earned, relationships built, and a shared love of helping people feel at home in Marin.
