"When is was time for my mother to sell the family home of over 48 years and downsize,
no small task, Elise was a godsend to our family. She helped with every step of the
clean out by bring venders to haul away donated treasures, make dump runs, and help
with moving and packing, Once that was done, she over saw an incredible cosmetic
transformation of the house including paint, flooring and staging. We can't recommend
her more highly!"

"Elise was referred to us by my sister Leslie who has both bought and sold with her in
Alamo and Walnut Creek. I didn't anyone could live up to the build up but Elise was
great to work with from start to finish. She really listened and understood what we were
looking for as well as that our time was valuable. During the offer period it was clear we
won due to her relationships. She was supportive, reassuring and calm. She was exactly
what we needed!"
Brian and Becca Horn | BUYERS | Alamo
"Just Excellent. When we purchased our home, Elise was the listing agent and we came to
know her through Open Houses in Walnut Heights. Her listings always stood out as
presented far better than others. When we decided to relocate we knew we wanted her to
list our house. We quickly came to understand how thorough and can do she is. She
realized when to hold our hands and when to give a little push. She is just plain excellent."
Alan and Michelle Tiscareno | SELLERS | Wanut Creek
"We met Elise at an Open House several years ago but l kept her card because she made
such an impression upon me. When the time came to move, Elise helped us navigate both
buying and selling in a pandemic. She was patient, thoughtful and effective. We are lucky
to have worked with her. When she discusses agent relationships making a difference, we
are here to confirm that with the winning bid out of 18 offers. She is a true PRO!"

Education
After 10 years of extensive work travel, Elise made the decision to apply her sales training and business acumen to Real Estate. During this time, she found great satisfaction in managing a successful and demanding career as a REALTOR® while raising her children. Elise’s past business lives blend beautifully together with her deep community roots, extensive volunteerism, love of youth sports, and create a unique perspective for her clients. This, and her desire to succeed, has propelled her into the long-term, top-producing REALTOR® she is today.
No biography of Elise would be complete without mention of her children, Christopher and Alyson. Christopher graduated from Pepperdine where he played baseball and continues his love of the sport as a professional player and coach. Alyson, an alumni of Texas A&M, currently resides in Dallas where she works in Organizational Change Management.
In her spare time, Elise enjoys cooking, time with her family and friends, hiking in Shell Ridge with her Labradoodle (Nala), swimming laps at Heather Farms, boating, and simply being outdoors. She donates regularly to local food banks throughout the Bay Area and is perpetually grateful for her good fortune in life.
Additionally, Elise firmly believes in honesty, integrity, and the importance of goodwill in every transaction and aspect of life. She is characterized by a no-nonsense, can-do style.
“I strive daily to be the best. My clients can rely on my knowledge of the local communities, contracts and negotiation. They know nobody cares more about achieving an outstanding result than I do.“ -Elise Fornaci
