Our Partners

Strand Hill was founded in 2015 by a team of luxury real estate enthusiasts who shared a common vision to build a brokerage that was focused on providing exceptional service to clients while also giving back to the community they loved. They aimed to establish a company known not only for its real estate expertise but also for its commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of those around them.

Locally owned and globally connected, Strand Hill is guided by the vision of its two original founders, Gary Richardson, and Lily Liang, who collaborate with esteemed partners, each bringing extensive real estate expertise to the table: Ken Adam, Alex Gauss, Chris Corr, and Mike Rossi.

With a distinguished background in the real estate industry, Gary Richardson, along with Lily Liang, played integral roles in laying the foundation for Strand Hill. Their combined expertise and dedication have been instrumental in shaping the company into what it is today.

Today, Strand Hill stands as a respected fixture in the Manhattan Beach community, with an expanded reach spanning from Palos Verdes to Malibu. Despite our growth, our commitment to personalized service and community involvement remains unwavering. We tirelessly strive to help our clients achieve their real estate goals while actively giving back to the community that has supported us.

At Strand Hill, we recognize that buying a home is more than just a transaction; it's about finding a space where families can thrive.

Our Philanthropy Strand Hill Gives Back

We are wholeheartedly devoted to making a positive impact in the communities where we operate. We firmly believe that by joining forces, we can achieve incredible things and continually put in our best efforts to make these places even better for people to live, work, and flourish.
