We have known Jim & Donna Klinge for over a dozen years, having met them in Carlsbad where our children went to the same school. As long time North County residents, it was a no- brainer for us to have the Klinges be our eyes and ears for San Diego real estate in general and North County in particular. As my military career caused our family to move all over the country and overseas to Asia, Europe and the Pacific, we trusted Jim and Donna to help keep our house in Carlsbad rented with reliable and respectful tenants for over 10 years.
Naturally, when the time came to sell our beloved Carlsbad home to pursue a rural lifestyle in retirement out of California, we could think of no better team to represent us than Jim and Donna. They immediately went to work to update our house built in 2004 to current-day standards and trends â in 2 short months they transformed it into a literal modern-day masterpiece. We trusted their judgement implicitly and followed 100% of their recommended changes. When our house finally came on the market, there was a blizzard of serious interest, we had multiple offers by the third day and it sold in just 5 days after a frenzied bidding war for 20% above our asking price! The investment we made in upgrades recommended by Jim and Donna yielded a 4-fold return, in the process setting a new high water mark for a house sold in our community.
In our view, there are no better real estate professionals in all of San Diego than Jim and Donna Klinge. Buying or selling, you must run and beg Jim and Donna Klinge to represent you! Our family will never forget Jim, Donna, and their whole team at Compass â we are forever grateful to them.
Cool place, and I love me some Baja LJ.
How bad is the traffic on the way to the 5 in the morning? Seems like it could be treacherous.
Finally a house with sensible upgrades and landscaping. Love all the windows. Kitchen is a taaaad on the small side, but that’s average for PB… very traditional layout for the neighborhood. Those houses are extremely well designed IMO. Show ’em the money Jim!
Okay, you told us to guess, and before you said it, my number was $899K. đ
BTW, yes, it will probably sell fairly quickly. I give it three weeks.
Nice home.
$899K? Wow! I was thinking 1.2 mil!
“Wouldn’t be the same unless you had a little something from the Sixties still in it.”
And then we see your reflection in the mirror. :p
The only item of concern is the sand pit next to that steep slope. I’d be worried about landslides burying the kids.
What a sweet little home, Jim! I love the stone patios, the little white fence, the sweet little kitchen, the hardwood floors, the office built-ins, and the view from the master. And close to the beach! Wow!
With you as the LA, I’d guess you’ll have it sold within two weeks. And yep, I was shocked it was under $1 M!
Sold for $270K in 1997…pretty good ROI.
Price seems high to me given the area and small sq.ft., but there seem to be a lot of people willing to spend $900K on a home without a second thought.

Nice granite on that countertop! I had guessed $850k.
$899K? But Zillow says… đ
Very funny when you said “Oh God, there’s steps UP to the front door, too.” Oh, sorry, that was in your CV Review 2 vid. Strange that you didn’t mention them here. đ
I give you credit for mentioning the powerlines though. And you’re right, those are barely a blip with that sweet view.
I’ll answer that.
The steps up to my listing lead you to a single-level. Once you get there, it’s all good.
The mambo tract homes with the staircase up to front door guarantee a split-level, which usually means at least three staircases, and a level that doesn’t get used much.
May not seem like a big deal, but try and sell one sometime.
My guess was 799. Hair under 500 a square foot. Don’t believe it is worth more than that but do think the market may be willing to pay more.
Nice place. I’m guessing it’ll sell quick. The previous owners already did many good upgrades, saves you the construction mess.
Right now in East County, weather is spectacular and sunny every day. Then I head west, into the clouds…..
I guessed $899,000, and I’m no real estate expert…haha. Good looking house…never really been to PB, but I like the view and the upgrades are nice. Other than the slope concerns in the backyard, a great looking house at a good price.
