Many years ago, we purchased a home in Carlsbad, using a realtor that was recommended to us - Jim Klinge. Fast forward to 2025, we recently had the privilege of selling 2 homes in Carlsbad, CA and didn't hesitate to reach out to Jim and Donna Klinge of Klinge Realty Group to guide us through the sales. The transactions were very different, each with its own unique situation, opportunities and challenges. From start to finish, Donna and Jim helped navigate the pre-sale preparation, the listing, showing of the house, buyer negotiations, the final close and all of the paperwork and decisions in between. What stands out with both transactions is the professionalism of Jim and Donna (and their team), wonderful communication (timely, relevant, concise), their deep understanding of market dynamics (setting realistic expectations), their access to top-notch contractors, and last, their ability to guide us across the finish line successfully. We wouldn't hesitate to use Jim and Donna in the future and highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy or sell a property in North San Diego County.
I’m guessing you weren’t trying to convey a subliminal message with the parting shot of the lemon, were you?
The room off the garage feels like a space to invite friends over and play card games.
We’re all subliminal now….
Thanks for the tour, Jim. 🙂
No bubble here, thank goodness!
West of the 5 or no, that’s got to be one of the worst houses I’ve seen you tour, no offense intended to anyone interested in it.
Video tells fewer lies than photos. I think you’re onto something.
You mentioned people said to not show other people’s listings??? Since when did you start caring what other people think? Keep doing what you want. I like the tours. Tx
When a real estate agent serves you lemons, make lemonade! 🙂
Thank you SO much for pointing out that a slide show is NOT a video! So many people out there still don’t get it!
As for the house, granted it’s probably passed its prime, but you could make a killing selling off the furniture! There were some really nice pieces in there!
ditto! i want that white leather couch!
What happened to 1157 Hermes? It was on the market for $575k, now the listing is gone? The sign is still in front of the house.
1157 Hermes is marked as sale pending. That was quick.
Thanks for the tour Jim. Out of my price range, but it helps give me a better idea of whats out there.
I just watched two of your videos and had to chuckle after each one. That’s 20 minutes of my time…well spent. I do videos of my listings and my area as well, but I like your style. I think it will rub off on me a little.
BTW…I hate those cheesy virtual tours as well. Video is the future…what kind of camera are you using?
