"Really amazing to do business with them. My broker was Bob Walatka, the most understanding and clear person I have ever met. He really pushed things along with great efficiency and was very trustworthy. Feels like someone who is on your side and pushing you to do your homework at the same time. All these guys are great."
"Laura, Sue and the rest of the Hoffman Murphy team did an amazing job guiding our family through the process of selling our mom’s home. The level of professionalism, expertise and efficiency was handled so smoothly, it made the experience less stressful and allowed my siblings and I to focus on mom’s needs during a difficult transition in family. We are very grateful for…
"Thank you so much to Patricia and the rest of the Hoffman Murphy team for being an excellent resource in finding, sending an offer, and purchasing my first home! The process was overall very straightforward, and involved a lot less stress than I initially anticipated because of how well-explained and easy everything was with the support of Hoffman Murphy. I can honestly sa…

"Great experience working with Hoffman Murphy. The whole team was super helpful and was a huge help guiding me through the homebuying process. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
"I wanted to express my deepest appreciation to the Hoffman team, Marie, Laura and Dawn. A+ job, providing a full renovation to our property, substantially increasing our final sale price above expectation. The team was gracious, professional, efficient and could not have been better.
Thank you!
James Coulter"
"I bought my house with Marie Hoffman's help over 30 years ago. Since then, she's continued to work with me - helping me rent my home, advising me on renovation plans to maximize value, even consulting on landscape design! Hoffman Murphy is truly a full service group, and their support doesn't end at closing!"
"Living 3.000 miles away from the property I was investing in was not an easy thing to do. Until I met Bob Walaka and his team. I could not have done it without Bob. He went above and beyond to make my dream come true."
"Valerie, Jessica and the team at Hoffman Murphy are so great to work with. They made our home buying process so smooth. I would without hesitation recommend their business to anyone who is in the market to buy or sell property."

"I can't say enough about Hoffman Murphy and the amazing experience my sister and I just had getting our mom's house ready, on the market and SOLD! Marie Hoffman and Laura Grabner were just the best - they listened and had great ideas to get us going. Once we agreed on a plan, Laura and her team just ran with it. She had excellent partners who all did what they said the…
"Everything about my experience with Melissa Pilon at Hoffman Murphy was exceptional. She oversaw getting my home ready for leasing since I now live out of town. She stayed in frequent touch with me to make sure everything was done just the way I wanted it. Most importantly, she gave me great advice about what to do (and what not to do) to get a great tenant at a great rent…
"If I could give Melissa Pilon a hundred stars, I would. Her passion for matching people with the home of their dreams is so heartwarming and inspiring. She's an amazing listener. She got to know me (and my wishlist!) well and helped me find a magical little spot to call my own. But finding, I realize, is the easy part in California! The next step is beating out all of the …
"We would give 100 STARS for this amazing real estate team! Patient, professional, passionate, knowledgable, dedicated, kind, considerate... there aren't enough adjectives to describe just how incredible this team is from start to finish. Our checklist for a new house (aka: our "Unicorn") was over a mile long and we also had to go through the daunting process of selling our…
"Valerie and the whole Hoffman Murphy team were great to work with. Not only did they help us find the perfect home, but they also found us great renters for our previous property. Professional, friendly, and great service!!"
"We worked with Melissa Pilon at Hoffman Murphy and we highly recommend her. She is enthusiastic, professional, fun to be with, and was absolutely dedicated to getting us the house we wanted. She worked morning, noon, and night for us, and was incredibly responsive to any emails or calls. We eventually found ourselves in a bidding war with 25 other offers on the table, and …
"While this Thanksgiving holiday may be different from other years, it may well be the most memorable. As we’re starting to unpack and getting ready for the holidays, we couldn’t believe we are here @ our dream home... our biggest thanks and kudos go to the Hoffman Murphy team! We had a tough start with selling our townhome in Redondo Beach, and we knew we need to go with…

"This guy named Dovi was so helpful!! It was such a breath of fresh air. He has more of a manager role so he kinda has the environment to be patient with me of course. But still I appreciated the pleasantries and efforts he made to ease me of my concerns. The leasing managers understandably are more stressed it seems with their work loads so they can be a lil more frank. Bu…

"I found the perfect South Bay property for me. It was represented by Hoffman Murphy. I needed to sell my house in order to get my dream property in the Hollywood Riviera. My home needed lots of work to get top dollar. I contacted Marie and she was able to get my home sold and represent me and the seller. This type of transaction can be extremely tricky for both sides…

"This team is a wonderful group of people who were very helpful and encouraging while we were buying our first home! Matt was our realtor and we couldn't have asked for better! He was friendly and fun, and answered all of our millions of questions without complaint. We switched to this company after a few months with a different company that we weren't connecting with, and …
"Sue Murphy helped us find our first home in Manhattan Beach when our twins were infants and we didn't know what we were doing. When it was time she helped us sell that home, from staging negotiating and she got us got the price we had hoped for. That was over thirty years ago. Recently she helped us find perfect home for my wife and I in Redondo Beach and everything wo…
"The Hoffman Murphy Team was invaluable in helping us secure a home that we have been coveting for several years while renting in the South Bay. Our realtor, Laura, jumped into action the moment the house hit the market and did not stop until the house was ours. She calmly managed all of the common home buying fears and anxieties that came up for us along the way, and utili…
"Laura was my agent. I found them as they had recently sold another unit in my building. At first, because of their distance from me I was a little hesitant, they are in Hermosa Beach, and I am in the Valley, but after talking to Laura and Matt, I was confident they will do a great a great job. My condo was sold pretty quickley, and everyone I came in contact with, both dir…

"My family and I had the pleasure of working with Valerie Alexander from Hoffman Murphy in finding our new home. Valerie was AWESOME. She was helpful, informative, patient, and honest. All qualities that make her fantastic at her job. I couldn't have been more pleased with how she represented us during our home buying process. Looking forward to working with her again.…
"If you are looking for a realtor in the South Bay and surrounding areas, look no further! Hoffman Murphy, and specifically my agent Val Alexander was unbelievably responsive and attentive. She showed me an off market listing and after my offer was accepted, she worked tirelessly with my lender, escrow agent, etc. to help us close in just 3 weeks!!! Even thought this wasn't…

🌎✈️ From the South Bay to Bangkok… real estate never stops fascinating us.
Our very own Susan Murphy is currently exploring the ancient canals of Bangkok—and of course, she’s turning it into a real estate masterclass 😉
“Touring the ancient canals in Bangkok… fascinating and a real estate experience! People have been living along these waterways for hundreds of years. Private homes range from about $65,000 to several hundred thousand. Daily life happens by ‘long boat’—you can shop, dine, and even visit temples right from the canals.”
🏡 It’s a powerful reminder:
Real estate isn’t just about homes… it’s about how people live.
From waterfront living in Redondo Beach to canal life across the world, every market tells a story—and we love learning from all of them.
✨ Different lifestyle. Same fundamentals:
Location. Lifestyle. Community.
