eal estate is in Molly Hobin
Williams' DNA. Born into
the business, she is continuing
her family legacy as President
and CEO of The Hobin Company,
which was founded a century ago by
her great-grandfather and has offices
in both Manhattan Beach, which
specializes in high-end residential
real estate in the South Bay, and Palm
Desert, predominantly focused on golf
communities.
"It's pretty unique to have a fourth-
generation female running a family
business that just turned 100," Molly
concedes. But, as she was highly
motivated from the start, not surprising.
At 17, Molly began her real estate career
with ambition. Licensed on her 18th
birthday, she closed her first sale while
still just a senior in high school. She went
on to UCLA, got her degree, then spent
24 years in commercial real estate. Later,
she took a hiatus to travel and returned
to revive the family firm in 2010.
An astute strategist and nimble in
business, "In 2020, I saw the writing
on the wall," Molly says. "•ings were
changing so quickly—the marketing,
the technology, everything." So, she did
too, partnering with Bayside Real Estate
Company and aligning with Side, a San
Francisco-based platform that provides
an infrastructure of support to boutique
brokerages like •e Hobin Company. "It
was a game-changer for our business,"
Molly says of the move. "Now we have
a big support system and a big referral
network."
