About Mollie Beck

Mollie J. Bennet Beck is a California native who was raised in the San Gabriel Valley community of Sierra Madre. She attended Alverno High School in Sierra Madre, Pasadena City College, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Cal State Long Beach. Mollie obtained her Emergency Medical Technician certification from Glendale Community College and completed the Police Reserve Academy at Rio Hondo College so she could volunteer as a Reserve Police Officer for the City of Sierra Madre. She came to Long Beach to continue her career in Workers' Compensation claims for the City Attorney's Office in the early 1980's and purchased her first home in Belmont Heights later that decade. Mollie subsequently held jobs in the insurance industry and chose to leave the corporate world to concentrate on Larry's thriving real estate practice in 1998, obtaining her real estate license in 2002. She also completed the Certified Apartment Manager (CAM) training though the California Southern Cities Apartment Association in 2000. Larry S. Beck came to Long Beach in 1952 with his family from Toledo, Ohio. He was raised in the Long Beach Plaza neighborhood attending Cubberley Elementary School, DeMille Junior High, Millikan High (go Rams!) and Long Beach Community College. He purchased his first home in California Heights then moved to Belmont Shore in the late 1970's where he raised his two daughters, Marnie and Jessica. Both girls attended Lowell, Rogers and Wilson schools. Larry's first career was with the IBEW as a journeyman electrician and ultimately a supervisor on major commercial and industrial construction projects around the greater Los Angeles area. He worked on jobs for Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Blue Cross, Renaissance Hotel in downtown Long Beach, Garrett Air Research, Texaco, American Broadcasting Company and NBC Studios to name a few. He stepped back from that industry in 1989 to launch his successful real estate career. Larry and Mollie live in Belmont Shore with their dog Bella, adopted locally from a rescue organization. They have two daughters, Marnie and Jessica and four grandchildren, Madison, Bo and Logan who live in Arizona and Anthony who lives in Long Beach.
