When you search for the best real estate agents in Manhattan Beach, you’ll see plenty of names. But behind the rankings and flashy sales numbers, what truly matters is experience, trust, and results. That’s where The Hobin Company, under the leadership of Molly Hobin Williams, stands apart.
Founded in 1925, The Hobin Company has remained family-owned and deeply rooted in the South Bay for nearly a century. Today, the firm is led by Molly Hobin Williams, a fourth-generation broker and Manhattan Beach resident of over 40 years.
Molly’s reputation for discretion, market expertise, and long-standing client relationships makes her one of the most trusted names in local real estate. Her specialties include representing luxury homes in Manhattan Beach’s Hill Section and Sand Section—two of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods for ocean-view estates, architecturally significant builds, and high-end lifestyle living.
As a UCLA alum and President of the Board of the Downtown Manhattan Beach Business and Professional Association, Molly is more than a broker—she’s a leader and advocate for the community she serves.
While Molly provides the vision and leadership, The Hobin Company is strengthened by a carefully selected team of agents who bring neighborhood-specific expertise and concierge-level service.
Jillian Ostick specializes in luxury rentals, investment properties, and first-time buyers across the South Bay cities of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach and El Segundo. With a background in luxury hospitality, Jillian delivers a polished, detail-driven client experience rooted in global perspective and high-touch service.
April Tussing is the go-to resource for Grandview Elementary and Sand Section families, where she helps clients balance lifestyle, schools, and investment value in one of Manhattan Beach’s most desirable neighborhoods. April’s own experience raising a family here gives her unmatched insight into what makes these blocks special—and why they’re worth investing in.
