About Allison
Allison Fortini Crawford has been representing luxury home buyers and sellers for more than a decade.
Bay Area Roots
The daughter of a US Army physician, Allison enjoyed the rare opportunity to spend her childhood in the historic Presidio and surrounding San Francisco neighborhoods. As a single professional and married mother of two, she has lived her entire adult life in both Pacific Heights and Marin County. Even among top performing agents, Allison’s intimate knowledge of both San Francisco and Marin counties’ most desirable neighborhoods is rare.
Over the course of her career, Allison’s transactions include a wide variety of desirable single family homes, luxury condominiums, tenancies in common, and cooperative apartments. San Francisco and Marin’s real estate markets are exceptionally unique and require an expert to navigate the tapestry of special building codes and legal requirements. Allison maintains an effective network of colleagues throughout the region and is an active member of both the San Francisco Association of Realtors and the Marin County Association of Realtors. Allison’s extensive local knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail make her an authority in every aspect of Bay Area real estate.
Partnering With Sotheby’s International Realty
Sotheby’s was the obvious choice when Allison sought a brokerage partner that shares her exceptional level of professionalism and desire to deliver the very best customer service. Sotheby’s is known worldwide as the premiere brokerage for luxury homes, attracting sophisticated buyers and sellers who expect the finest representation in the industry. Like Sotheby’s, Allison believes that even the smallest detail in your real estate transaction must be handled with expert care. In order to address any potential issue quickly and skillfully, Allison offers her own established and creative team that includes mortgage brokers, photographers, home stagers, contractors, architects and attorneys.
Strong Communications And Skillful Negotiations
Allison is a strong communicator and her clients appreciate that she listens closely to their concerns and represents their needs throughout their search and transaction. She connects with both first-time and experienced home buyers at every step of the process, giving them the information and peace of mind they need. And as a skilled negotiator, Allison can bridge the broadest differences between buyer and seller. She understands the emotional ties that both parties may have for a property and her wealth of experience is key to finding common ground. Allison’s warm personality and exceptional work ethic have resulted in hundreds of client referrals, the highest praise any realtor can achieve.
“I researched and interviewed a dozen realtors through referrals. It isn’t enough that my realtor is knowledgeable and trustworthy, she must be responsive. On these counts and many others, Allison was the perfect choice.”
