With 15+ years leading teams in healthcare marketing and even co-founding a national junior golf camp with the PGA of America, Debbie brings serious relationship-building chops to real estate — the kind honed by managing multimillion-dollar budgets and building programs from the ground up.

Now channeling that same drive into helping clients build a life they love, she’s found real estate to be a natural next chapter — one rooted in listening first and truly understanding what people need.

When she’s not with clients, she splits her time between Palm Desert in season and Sacramento in the summers.

From investment purchase to $15K+ in monthly rental income… ✨ 113 35th St, Manhattan Beach

Earlier this year, our clients picked up this North End property off-market — after some rental-ready updates, we stepped in to photograph, market, and find the right tenants for both units.

Located on the 35th Street walkstreet just steps from the sand, with ocean views, upgraded interiors, and outdoor space, it’s easy to see why interest was immediate. Both units are now leased, generating over $15K/mo combined for our clients. 🌊

For us, helping with an investment property goes well beyond the purchase. We can help identify the right opportunity, navigate the improvements needed to get it rental-ready, strategically market the property, and secure great tenants so you can start putting your investment to work.

Thinking about investing in the South Bay? Let’s talk about what’s possible.

🏡 The South Bay closed out August with a market that’s trading fewer homes than last year but at noticeably stronger prices. Here’s what Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach delivered last month. 📊 If you’re a seller, well-priced homes are still finding buyers quickly. If you’re a buyer, the homes worth having aren’t sitting long. 🌊🏡

📍 Manhattan Beach Key Takeaways
* 16 homes closed in August, with prices ranging from $1.50M to a $12.50M top sale
* Median sold price landed at $4.03M — matching the median list price almost dollar for dollar
* Homes that sold moved in just 28 days on average, well under the 69-day average for what’s currently active
* Year-to-date median sales price is up a striking 16.9% over last year, even as total sold volume dipped slightly (-2.1%) on fewer transactions
* 47 active listings and $359.73M in total inventory give buyers real selection heading into fall

📍 Hermosa Beach Key Takeaways
* Inventory stays tight at only 13 active listings citywide
* 7 homes closed in August, with a $3.10M median and a $5.22M high sale
* Days on market have collapsed 43.5% year-over-year, down to under 30 days for sold homes
* Price per square foot is up 9.6% YoY to $1,595, even as median sales price eased 5.9% — a sign the mix of what’s selling has shifted
* Fewer properties are trading overall (-11.0% YoY), but the ones that close are doing so quickly and at a premium per foot

The August data underscores a market that’s thinner on volume but firmer on pricing — buyers are still paying up for the right home, and sellers who price accurately are seeing fast results.

“The Hobin Company was our realty company for both the sale of our existing home and the purchase of our new home. Molly and Jillian were extremely supportive and professional throughout the final sale/closure of both properties. They were always there for us when we had questions or needed their support. While issues arose in both transactions, they skillfully resolved them in a timely and satisfactory manner. The excellent marketing for the sale of our previous home was particularly noteworthy. We highly recommend The Hobin Company when considering a firm to represent you. “ - Larry & Iva, Manhattan Beach Buyer & Seller

🏡 For buyers, knowing when to move matters. For sellers, July’s numbers make a strong case for acting now. Here’s what the South Bay market delivered in July. 📊

📍 Manhattan Beach Key Takeaways
* 35 homes closed in July — one of the stronger monthly totals of the year
* Median sold price came in at $3.50M, with the average sale topping $4.46M
* The month’s high sale hit $16.00M, a new peak for 2026
* Homes are selling at essentially full list price — the average sales discount has dropped to nearly zero, a clear signal of seller leverage
* Year-to-date median sales price is up 17.3% over last year, while total sold volume has turned positive at +1.2% YoY
* 53 active listings remain, giving buyers options — but not for long at this pace

📍 Hermosa Beach Key Takeaways
* Inventory is razor thin at just 15 active listings citywide
* 8 homes closed in July, with a median sold price of $2.95M and an average of $5.30M
* The month’s high sale reached $14.00M, underscoring continued demand for premier properties
* Days on market are down 43.8% year-over-year — homes that are priced right are moving fast
* Average price per square foot is up 12.3% YoY to $1,627, reflecting the quality of what’s transacting

The July data tells a consistent story: fewer homes are trading hands than last year, but the ones that do are commanding strong prices.

If you’re a seller with a well-positioned home, this market is working in your favor.
If you’re a buyer, waiting hasn’t gotten easier. 🌊🏡
