Baytown Realty has been a fixture in Seal Beach for over 30 years with Jim Klisanin at the helm. Jim was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and spent summers working for his father in the construction industry. He attributes his work ethic to the teachings of his father who was a Croatian immigrant and believed in hard work and perseverance. Jim was an avid athlete playing football baseball and basketball while attending college in Wichita, Kansas . After a successful college career he moved west to teach school in California. He happened upon Seal Beach in the mid – 1960’s and bought his first home. Not long after moving to Seal Beach he began a second career in real estate. Over the 45 years he has resided in Seal Beach, he has been deeply involved with the community including involvement in the Seal Beach Lion’s Club, coordinating the Seal Beach Christmas Parade, coordinating the PTA Carnival, president of the Chamber of Commerce, coaching little league baseball and softball, donating to city charities/organizations and much more.
Jim opened his first office in Seal Beach during a constricted real estate market when other offices were closing their doors. His work ethic and perseverance have carried him through and he proudly celebrates his 30th year as a business owner in Seal Beach.
Jim has teamed up with his daughter Shana and they are providing superior real estate services that include home sales, property management services, area rentals, relocation services and investment property sales.
