A fourth-generation broker and longtime Manhattan Beach resident, Molly Hobin Williams brings decades of experience, community leadership, and unmatched real estate insight to every transaction. As the leader of The Hobin Company, a family-founded brokerage established in 1925, Molly has proudly carried her family’s legacy into the modern era with a focus on luxury listings, Desert golf communities, generational client relationships, and new construction.

A licensed California real estate agent since 1981, Molly’s career spans both residential and commercial sales, with expertise in high-end leasing throughout Manhattan Beach, the South Bay, and Palm Desert. Whether representing first-time homebuyers, legacy luxury sellers, or renters of architecturally significant homes, Molly is known for her calm professionalism, honest guidance, and white-glove service.

Her passion for real estate began early—at just 17, she passed the California real estate exam, became a licensed agent at 18, and closed her first deal as a high school senior, selling her grandmother’s home to help fund her freshman year at UCLA. After earning her degree from UCLA, she launched a successful career in commercial real estate before re-launching The Hobin Company alongside her mother in 2010.

Molly is deeply woven into the fabric of Manhattan Beach. A local resident for over four decades, she serves as President of the Board of the Downtown Manhattan Beach Business and Professional Association and is an active member of the Manhattan Beach Chamber of Commerce. She’s also involved with numerous industry and philanthropic organizations, including the UCLA Real Estate Alumni Group, the Ziman Center for Real Estate, the Junior League of Los Angeles, and Realm Global, a worldwide luxury real estate network that connects buyers based on passions and lifestyle—not just price point.

In addition to her work in real estate, Molly is the founder of JustAskMolly.com, a trusted online resource that connects clients and community members to handpicked local businesses, upcoming events, and curated lifestyle recommendations across the South Bay and Coachella Valley.

A passionate skier, golfer, and world traveler, Molly enjoys downtime with her husband (and business partner) Tom, and their English Lab, Hobie—the official mascot of The Hobin Company.

What My Clients Say

Molly is amazing to work with. She originally showed us a rental in Manhattan Beach. She is extremely knowledgeable and consultative. She guided us through the process of what made more sense for us at the time. We ended up buying a townhouse in Hermosa because of the current rates in the rental market.
