Get To Know Us
Baytown Realty has been a fixture in Seal Beach for over 40 years with The Klisanin Team at the helm, founded in 1980 by Jim Klisanin. Jim resided in Seal Beach for over 50 years and was deeply involved in the community with various volunteer efforts, town events, real estate investments, all while creating a thriving business here at Baytown.
Jim’s passion and enthusiasm for the community were passed on to his daughter, Shana. Their combined talents grew Baytown Realty to be a cornerstone in the Seal Beach real estate market.
Shana Klisanin, who took over management in 2022, is now the owner of Baytown Realty, carrying on her dad's legacy. She brings over 30 years of experience in brokerage with extensive experience in real estate finance. Her expertise in negotiation and marketing has created much of the Klisanin team's success. The results speak for themselves. We are looking forward to helping all of our clients achieve their property goals.

Remembering Our Founder
Jim Klisanin
1934 - 2025
​In 1980, Jim founded Baytown Realty which led him to a lifetime of success. He had over 700 real estate transactions in his career, was a Certified Housing Professional in Property Management, and was honored as Seal Beach's Man of the Year by the Americana Awards in 2004. Jim had a zest for football - he played various positions wearing the #22, coached numerous students, and honored the spirit of teamwork which spread to us here at Baytown Realty. He was an active member of both the Seal Beach Lions Club and Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce and truly valued helping out the community. He is deeply missed by all but his passion, tenacity, and work ethic carries on.
