About Jacob

Jacob Klarman was born in Walnut Creek, California. His family made the move to Aiken, SC in 1995, about 30 years ago. Jake literally grew up in the real estate business…it runs in both sides of his family! Jake, his mother Michelle, and grandfather Mark own their brokerage. All of whom were mentored and guided into the business by Pam Thompson, grandmother to Jake, mother to Michelle, and late wife of Mark. Her unexpected passing in 2022 left the family shaken but resolved to carry on this venture in her legacy as the plans were already in the works when she passed. Jake’s been trained by some of the best agents in the business, and it shows. Jake has increased sales and production every year since becoming licensed in 2014 and is now the Broker-in-Charge of his brokerage. With a college background in psychology and business with a focus on finance, his formal education and over 10 years experience serve him well in real estate. Jake married his beautiful wife, Kayla in 2018. Like many in Aiken, Jake and Kayla are animal lovers, with two Boxer dogs and a cat. Kayla and Jake purchased and renovated a home together in Aiken Estates initially, but now enjoy living in The Vale. Real estate doesn’t leave much time for hobbies, but when he gets the chance, Jake loves playing golf on Aiken’s fabulous courses. He and Kayla also enjoy checking out Aiken’s restaurants – from the finest dining, to the best local dives. An Aiken Association of Realtors’ Realtor of the Year nominee for 2020 & 2023, Jake loves working with first time home buyers, as well as investors who purchase, renovate and flip homes. Over the years he has grown his Property Management business to great heights, serving over 50 clients managing their rental investment properties. Understanding the importance of responsiveness, Jake is incredibly attentive to his clients. This even keeled, conservative young man has values forged by a strong family structure, and his personal moral code. Jake is also an active member of his church, serving as a Deacon. Dedicated to taking care of his clients, Jake treats them in a professional manner and looks out for their best interests. Understanding the importance of contributing to his industry, Jake served as the Aiken Association of Realtors’ 2023 President of the Board of Directors, and served on several committees. Jake is simply the ideal agent for all of your real estate needs. “Working with new people, solving fresh problems, and helping people get into their next chapter of life is something that brings me great joy…and the fact that I get to do this for a living makes it even more special!” Jacob Klarman
