Molly 

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.

 
It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information.

Here are some of the things we can do for you:

Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out!  Ben and his wife Mo analyzed all of the cities of the Coachella before relocating to the area themselves. 

They will work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home. 

With their experience and connections throughout the Desert, Ben, Mo and The Hobin Company will find what you need, no matter the time frame.

List and Sell Your Property
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. 

With over 17 years of residential & investment real estate, home restoration and commercial marketing, Ben can take care of everything for you all while ensuring and prioritizing your needs.  His team offers photography and video for your home as well as a complete social media marketing campaign that is strategically targeted to buyers interested in your home's market. 

Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. Our team can show you how to make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar.

Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.  Prior to moving to the Southern California area, Ben managed an Investment Group that restored and flipped older homes.  He was hands-on and heavily involved with the renovation of each home. 

This experience provides in-depth knowledge on pricing, timing, and a handful of other factors involved with the process of prepping a home for a top-dollar sale.
