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.
the pirates are old and busted. JtR is the new hotness. what are these people thinking?
Who wants pirates, when you can get REO pron? No contest in my book.
Credit where credit due to the seals and the civilian leadership for whacking the pirates.
Absolutely.
“Members of the Navy Seals were flown to the area. They parachuted into the sea with inflatable boats and were picked up by the Bainbridge.”
“The New York Times quoted senior Navy officials as saying that two of the pirates poked their heads out of a rear hatch of the lifeboat, exposing themselves to clear shots, and the third could be seen through a window in the bow, pointing an AK-47 rifle at the tied-up captain.”
“Each sniper took a target and fired one shot from between 25 and 30 metres away.”
“Nightline” headed downhill 20 years ago, when Peter Hong left the staff in 1989. His main job was to make tea for Ted Koppel. The guy who replaced him was no good, prompting Koppel to leave the show soon after, declaring “I can’t drink this swill.” Now they are returning to glory, again on the work of Hong.
Your modesty always impressed me Mr. Hong 🙂
