"Jim the Realtor is legit - I interviewed three brokers; he said list price should be $100,000 higher than the other two brokers; listed it with him and had all cash (no financing) offer in two days, five day contingency period, closing in two weeks - and it closed at his recommended list price. I could not recommend anyone more than I recommend Jim the Realtor. more "

"When we moved to San Diego in 2005 we rented a big house on Mt. Soledad (La Jolla) with 180 degree ocean views for the same payment as a mortgage on a dump in Chula Vista. Clearly something was wrong. Yet, the media was full of the usual happy-talk nonsense, so I was glad to find Jim's blog. I've followed his honest assessments and data since. more "

"Where do we begin..2020 has been a year for everyone. When COVID hit and shut down both my husband and my businesses, we were left with a mortgage and very little income coming in. We were stressed, scared and felt stuck. We made the hard decision to sell our home and move out of state. We contacted the Klinges' and spent a good hour going over what we hoped we could accomplish. Jim and Donna came over with comps in hand and suggestions on improvements to get our house ready for the market. It was overwhelming to think about, but Donna was there and one step ahead in every scenario. more "

"Jim and Donna Klinge made the sale of our condo extraordinarily easy. They know the market and gave us sound advice backed by details and very considerable experience, reflected both in the initial pricing and subsequent negotiations. They work together as a team and are always available to talk. more "

"I cannot believe there are no reviews of Donna yet, ugh!! She is the secret sauce of the Jim Klinge/Donna Klinge combo! I will touch on Jim here, but Donna is why I'm so totally loyal to these two (no offense to Jim :)).
I consider myself a rather savvy buyer/seller. I've bought/sold 7 times in more "

"Jim and Donna Klinge are by far the most professional, personable and responsive realtors I have ever worked with. They provide VIP concierge level service in every area of the process of selling your home. My home was marketed so successfully that we received an offer the day after our first and only open house. Thanks to Jim's pricing and negotiating, our house is now the highest sold in our community... more "

That “carport” is hilarious. Gotta protect my precious, 8 mpg truck! I couldn’t tell if it had a decal of Calvin urinating on something.
Listening to you barrel up that hill, I was waiting for the clanking sound of a thrown rod. Memories of my teenage years.
What is it about boys and their trucks? First, we see that “gorgeous” carport protecting that black $40K+ truck. And then at the end, it’s JtR flooring his truck on the open road.
Hmmm, a race between that pampered truck and Jim’s humble wheels? I put my money squarely on Jim–$100K!
Com’on bubbleinfo heads, who’s with me???

How about my Ice Cream truck?

About the ocean view. I looked close at the video, it does look like there is a porch on the righthand side on the second floor. A little more than a window but not the full blown view.
Regarding one story homes… with an aging boomer population I’d expect the premium to become even more pronounced.
Me & my wife have always gone ga-ga over big two story places, but all it took was having a couple older dogs to realize that our ideal place will always be single story.
$20 Grand and you can build an external attached elevator to any house.
Jack, an elevator might help the humans, but those of us with aging animals need to stick to one story homes. I used to love two-story as well, until I hit my late 40’s and the knees started to be distinctly unhappy with stairs.
Plus….elevator…one more thing that breaks and/or needs maintenance.
Not to mention, good luck getting something like that approved as an aftermarket addition in some of the these HOA’s.
Teach the old dogs a new trick, how to operate an elevator!
Nothin’ like a “chevy” eh?
hey Jim that lagoon house is over near your ‘turret’ house. Did you sell that one yet?
Just out of curiosity in San Diego what if any is the price differential between tile roofs and shingle roofs? Given that a tile roof should last the life of the house, and also (if you are further east than these houses) reduces the risk of embers catching the house on fire, does pricing differ?
Wood shake shingles are no longer legal in SD County. If you replace a roof, it must be with something other than wood shake. So that eliminates them. Tile roofs are not “lifetime”. The tile itself is not the fundamental waterproofing element, that would be the felt and tar paper underneath. My concrete tile roof leaked, as have many in my neighborhood. Roof repairs would appear to be a fact of life, regardless of the composition.
The major price differential for a roof would be a heady subtraction for an older house with a wood shake shingle roof, as everyone knows it will need to be replaced in short order.
Thanks for the info. I was aware of the issue of improper installation, my sister in Albuquerque, had a tile roof that leaked, it seems that a lot of installers either don’t know how to do it, or cut corners. IMHO metal is best because its essentially a 50 year plus roof (as demonstrated by old barns btw) and also does not burn. But in Jims tours I don’t see many in SD.
