ABOUT US
OUR WORK IS BUILT ON TRUST, DISCRETION, AND GENUINE CARE. THIS BEGINS WITH THE PEOPLE BEHIND MEM.
MEM does more than manage properties - we cultivate relationships that feel like family. Founded in 2020, we have quietly been serving families and homeowners across Marin County, California, bringing together a team whose collective expertise is rooted in trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to creating balance and peace of mind for our clients.
A Boutique Approach to Estate Management
We believe your home should be a sanctuary, a place of beauty, order, and peace. Inspired by the resilience and timeless beauty of the ginkgo leaf, our ethos reflects adaptability, longevity, and thoughtful care. Like the ginkgo, MEM stands as a quiet, constant presence in estate and property management: steady, enduring, and deeply rooted in service.
Founded by Kalie Andres, MEM brings over two decades of expertise in estate management, private service, and lifestyle support. Built on the foundation of Kalie’s personal commitment to alleviating stress and creating harmony, MEM has grown into a boutique firm that embodies her vision. Under her leadership, MEM blends organizational precision with intuitive, hands-on care, ensuring every home functions seamlessly and every client feels fully supported.
We intentionally partner with a limited number of clients each year, ensuring each relationship receives our full attention and care. We anticipate details, address challenges with foresight, and deliver solutions with calm confidence, bringing true peace of mind to estate management.

A Vision Rooted in Care
Kalie Andres
Founder & CEO
Raised on the beaches of Hanalei Bay, Kauai, Kalie learned early the values of balance, connection, and intentional living, principles that continue to anchor her work today. Over the past two decades, she has supported an extraordinary range of clients - including public figures, founders, creative leaders, and global-impact entrepreneurs, in roles spanning estate management, executive support, private chef, producer, and personal assistant.
These experiences shaped her rare talent for anticipating needs, navigating complexity with calm, and designing systems that bring order where others see chaos. Kalie sees a home as a living ecosystem, one that functions best when every detail is thoughtfully orchestrated and supported by processes that allow life to flow with ease.
In 2020, she founded Marin Estate Management to combine her expertise with her passion for helping families thrive. Her approach transcends logistics and traditional property management; she becomes a true partner in her clients’ success, creating environments that foster security, privacy, and emotional wellness. By simplifying even the most intricate demands, she empowers clients to focus on what matters most while her team handles the rest with professionalism and care.
Under her leadership, MEM has grown into a boutique agency defined by trust, discretion, foresight, exceptional estate and vendor management, and a deeply felt culture of care. Kalie trains every Estate Manager to her standards of excellence and remains closely involved with each property, ensuring clients receive both dedicated support and the collective strength of MEM’s expertise.
Now based in Marin County with her eight-year-old son, Finley, Kalie leads with warmth, clarity, and purpose. Her work is not simply estate management, it is the creation of a grounded, nurturing foundation that allows every family MEM serves to feel supported, secure, and truly free to thrive.
