About Jacob

I don't just sell homes—I help people step confidently into the next chapter of their lives. My goal is to make the process simple, stress-free, and strategic, guiding clients to not only find a home they love but also build long-term wealth through smart investments. Every deal is unique, and I coach my clients to maximize and capitalize on every opportunity, so future you will thank you.

Born and raised in Southern California, I'm a third-generation realtor who closed over $10 million in sales before I even turned 21. Real estate isn't just my career—it's the family business. I work hand-in-hand with my father, Wasilik Klimenko, Broker and CEO of The Real Estate Store (TRES), who's spent 35 years building TRES, at one point growing the firm to hundreds of agents during the market's peak. He's since expanded into escrow and lending as well, so between us we're able to offer clients a true one-stop shop—from the first showing to the final signature.

That family foundation is also where my approach to marketing comes from: I pair modern, data-driven strategy digital campaigns, targeted content, analytics with the older, relationship-based tactics my father has spent three and a half decades proving still work statistically better than anything trendy. Growing up around real estate and competing in sports at a high level taught me leadership, discipline, and how to stay calm under pressure qualities I now bring to every transaction, turning complexity into clarity and confidence for my clients.
