Who we are
The South Bay isn't just where we sell real estate.
It's where our lives happen.
It's sunrise walks on The Esplanade. It's sandy floors and kids in the back of the car. It's beach chairs that somehow live in the trunk year-round. It's knowing exactly where to park at RAT Beach, which streets in the Riviera get the best light and ocean breeze, and why certain pockets of Lunada Bay, Hollywood Riviera, Valmonte, and the Hill feel completely different despite being only a few minutes apart.
It's knowing the best strawberries in the South Bay come from the Smith Farms stand at Wilson Park on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and from the PV Market on Sunday mornings. It's knowing where to grab the best breakfast burrito. It's knowing RAT Beach is still one of the best beach days in Redondo, and that if you want the right stretch of sand in Hermosa, you head toward 2nd Street or 22nd Street.
"That kind of knowledge doesn't come from research. It comes from living it. We know this community because we are this community."
Our clients are teachers at local schools, police officers serving local neighborhoods, chefs at restaurants we eat at weekly, contractors helping shape the homes throughout Beach Cities, accountants at local firms, small business owners, entrepreneurs, coaches, and families who've built their lives here for generations.

We are the morning volleyball games at Hermosa Pier before work.

We are the beach tennis crews in South Redondo.

We are the dads unloading coolers onto the sand at 7am on the Fourth of July.

We are the moms coordinating sunset dinners while kids run barefoot through the sand.

We are the pickup games at Lago Seco and Hermosa Community Center.

We are the holiday golf cart rides through Sleepy Hollow.

We are the Riviera Village wine walks.

We are the slow drives down Paseo Del Mar with the windows down.

We are the coffee lines at Misc, Hi-Fi, Off-Set, and Boy and The Bear.

We are the beach cruisers lined up outside Shellback on a Sunday afternoon.

We are the Strand runs. We are the pier concerts. We are the sunsets at Terranea.

We are the backyard BBQs that somehow turn into all-night hangs.

We are the families who move here for the lifestyle and never want to leave.
And we are the people trusted to help them make that move.
The Sotto Sol Property Collective
Meet our team
The Sotto Sol Property Collective was founded by Jack Mangin, who has been a fixture in the South Bay since 2004. The team he's building shares the same philosophy: deep roots, real relationships, and a standard of execution that shows up in the results.
Real relationships
The bulk of our business comes from referrals. Our clients continue calling us long after the transaction closes because the relationship doesn't stop at escrow. These aren't transactions to us. They're neighbors, friendships, and families.
Deep local knowledge
We know the neighborhoods. We know the streets. We know the schools. We know the energy of each block and the personality of each pocket of town. That knowledge doesn't come from a database. It comes from living here.
Fundamentals over gimmicks. Every time.
How we work
Strong negotiation
Getting an offer is one thing. Getting the right offer - at the right price, on the right terms, with the cleanest possible path to close - is what we're here for. Our track record speaks to that.
Consistent execution
Being available when it matters. Doing what we say we're going to do. Reputation matters in the South Bay and we pride ourselves on the one we've built - within both the community and the real estate industry.
What clients say
Don't take our word for it.




















Common questions
Things people ask first.
The team has been buying, selling, and living in the South Bay for over 20 years — founded by Jack Mangin, who arrived in Hermosa Beach in 2004 and has never left. Every deal the team has closed, every neighborhood it knows, every relationship it has built has been in this specific market.
Our primary market covers Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates, El Segundo, San Pedro, Harbor City, Lomita, Gardena, and Hawthorne — with our deepest concentration in the coastal South Bay communities where our team lives and has worked since 2004.
Yes. We represent both buyers and sellers across all South Bay communities. Our seller track record is particularly strong — 88% of our last 50 listings set a neighborhood price record at time of sale, with an average of 11 days on market. On the buyer side, our off-market relationships and offer strategy have helped clients win in highly competitive multiple-offer situations throughout the market.
The team model means every client gets more resources, faster response times, and deeper market coverage than a solo agent can provide. Every transaction is led personally by an experienced agent — but behind them is the full bandwidth of the team to move fast, communicate consistently, and cover every detail from search to close.
