Manny Khoshbin

Manuchehr “Manny” Khoshbin’s journey from humble beginnings to real estate prominence is marked by determination, adaptability, and a strong sense of purpose. Arriving in the United States at the age of 14 after escaping the turmoil of Iran, Khoshbin faced early obstacles, including financial hardship and cultural barriers. Motivated to help his family, he began working at Kmart at the age of 16, and by 18, he had started a small business selling wild door-to-door. Although this first venture was brief, it sparked his entrepreneurial drive. Manny Khoshbin transitioned into mortgages and real estate in his early twenties, and at 23, he opened a supermarket, reinvesting the proceeds into commercial property. He developed a reputation for finding and repositioning undervalued assets in markets with growth potential. This strategy paid off significantly in 2007, when he sold over one million square feet of office space just before the market collapse. His sharp sense of timing and calculated risk-taking became central to his approach. As the founder and CEO of The Khoshbin Company, headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, Khoshbin has led the firm through over $1.5 billion in transactions. What began as a family office has grown into a private real estate investment company with a national reach, specializing in industrial, retail, and office properties. The company is known for its direct, hands-on asset management, focusing on efficiency and value creation by revitalizing underperforming properties. Khoshbin has also brought in select partners on strategic acquisitions while maintaining the personal oversight that has become a hallmark of his business. Beyond his work in real estate, Khoshbin shares his experiences through books like Contrarian PlayBook and Driven, aiming to guide aspiring entrepreneurs with practical insights and motivational lessons. His story has become a source of inspiration for those facing adversity and striving for financial independence. Philanthropy is a central part of Khoshbin’s life, reflected in his donations of over $600,000 to children’s organizations and a $1 million pledge to the CHOC Thompson Autism Center. These efforts underscore his commitment to giving back and supporting the next generation. Manny Khoshbin resides in Newport Coast, California, with his wife, Leyla, and their two children. His collection of rare and exotic cars has gained attention as a symbol of both personal achievement and disciplined investment. For Khoshbin, success is measured not only by financial growth but also by the impact on his family and community as well as the legacy he builds through his vision and resilience.
