Bio
Nick Buss joined The Klabin Company in 2019. Although new to commercial real estate, his life accomplishments are impressive, and he knows the value of being part of a team. He played Division I college baseball for the University of Southern California (USC); was drafted in the 8th round by the Los Angeles Dodgers; enjoyed a more than 10-year career in professional baseball; had two stints in the Major Leagues (first with the Dodgers and then with the Los Angeles Angels); hit a home run for the Angels; won a batting title in Triple AAA baseball and got to travel all over the country playing the game he loved. He also had the opportunity to play with the likes of Clayton Kershaw, Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, all future hall of famers.
When he finished his baseball career with the Minnesota Twins organization in 2018, Nick decided to return to USC to complete his studies. His dad was involved in real estate, and Nick developed a passion for the business as well. After finishing his degree, he went on a mission to meet as many people as possible that went to USC and worked in real estate, specifically industrial real estate. This led him to an introduction to Frank Schulz III, Managing Principal at The Klabin Company. Frank too had played sports at USC (he was a member of the National Championship water polo team in 2003) and studied Planning and Development, so an immediate connection was made. Nick was hired in early 2019 and got off to a fast start, closing multiple transactions in his first year.
Nick was born and raised in Michigan, and he currently resides in Redondo Beach with his wife and baby daughter. In his free time, Nick enjoys golfing, traveling and spending time with his family.
