Senior Acquisitions | Baceline Group

I have known Jake Klamen of Klamen Commercial Advisors both professionally and personally for several years, and I have had the pleasure of working with him on a transaction. He introduced me to a buyer for one of my shopping centers, and we successfully closed the deal. Jake was a pleasure to work with; he is knowledgeable and professional.

President | Walpert Properties

Jake Klamen’s professionalism is only exceeded by his performance! Jake detailed the game plan on how to list and advertise our property for divestment. After the listing went live, I don’t believe we were ever not under contract in a matter of days. He negotiated the sale, exceeded our expectations, and there is no higher recommendation that we could give for Jake as our broker.

– Scott Kech

Owner | Lenex

Jake and I worked together on a commercial real estate acquisition/disposition. Jake’s initiative pushed our deal out of the starting blocks, and his industriousness and reliability brought it across the finish line. Throughout the whole process, Jake was responsive and committed to doing all that was needed to successfully close the deal. It was a pleasure working with him and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

– Jason Hempel

Acquisitions Manager | Schostak Brothers & CO

Our team has worked with Jake on several deals in recent years, on both sides of transactions, and he is one of the hardest working in the business. In a business that can often get a bad rap, he is also one of the most honest. Jake is a gem!
