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.
Isn’t a buyer at a trustee sale responsible for the second? and other liens?
No, at least those inferior to it (chronologically)
I’ve been tracking that house on Cascadia for months and am waiting for the day when it shows up on the steps and has 200 bidders. They are going to have to build an extra parking lot downtown to accommodate everyone.

Recon Trust has been firing on all cylinders the past couple of weeks up here in North OC (mid range) with decent, fairly early opening bids that stick and actually sell. The others have been about the same. It makes me think the banks have been in a standoff, and BofA is taking the first shot.
“The others have been about the same”
I meant this to mean “The others have not picked up in activity”, not that they are the same as Recon.
Sound like the banks would give loans out to anything that breathed…
If I gave you the impression that banks are back to EZ-lending, let me correct.
It hasn’t been this hard to get a mortgage since 2002, but it’s because we’re back to the basic underwriting guidelines that were always in place, just ignored for years.
JtR – get out of the bike lane! i ride carlsbad blvd all the time!
I love these seconds that are much more than the full purchase price of my house.
Also, who the heck needs 6,200 square feet anyways?
