"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 :)).

"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 "

Happy 5th…also known as Hangover Day.
LOL at “boner way”.
Get a metal sign, see if they still run it over.
Nothing but top notch kids in Carmel Valley; 3rd graders vandalizing at an 8th grade level!
(That’s not, of course, to say I didn’t laugh.)
MLS remarks seen today:
While you tour this quiescent neighborhood, sparkle catches your eyes. Off the corner of your eye a gleaming window catches your attention. A splendid walkway then soothes you, entrancing you with its cherubic aura. The circular stone design glows and adds to this ambivalence, just waiting for you to enter its domain
Jim, that remark reads like a Rod Serling intro to an episode of The Twilight Zone! 🙂
I’d take a broken sign any day over what greated me this a.m…. someone hopped the fence and stole my pool cleaner in the night.
Jim:You mentioned an off ramp from the SR-56 south to the top of Del Mar Mesa, and showed the location. The location is correct, but it is very unclear if the off ramp will ever be constructed.
The DMM FBA fund has a large deficit, the projected # of houses at build-out will be considerably fewer than projected, and many members of the community planning group (I am a member) oppose the off/on ramp because it will not save much time and will become a cut-through by pass for the very busy commuter SR-56.
Sol, You gotta move out of La Jolla!
Marvin, Thanks for checking in. I think it is prudent for buyers to assume that it’ll be built someday, and plan accordingly with most expecting to be in their house for the long haul.
Do you have a link for us to monitor, and/or a way to track the developments?
“The circular stone design glows and adds to this ambivalence”
Lol! The realtor doesn’t know just how accurate his/her description really is.
I thought you might be the one to catch it.
ambivalence, def.
uncertainty or fluctuation, esp. when caused by inability to make a choice or by a simultaneous desire to say or do two opposite or conflicting things.
Here’s my favorite, Jim, that I’ve seen for months in a RE magazine:
“Ripe for refreshing This property was owned by Disney’s first female Imagineer. The 1.17 acre +/- oak-covered property is filled with filtered light, lush lawns and sandstone boulders. There is a peaceful and dreamy feeling as if dwarfs are hiding in the bushes and a cartoon bird may fly down to greet you while you have your morning coffee. 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. $2,500,000”
Geez. How much would it be without creepy dwarves watching you from the bushes and birds dive-bombing your breakfast??
La Jolla! Very funny Jim.
I’ve been lurking around bubbleinfo regularly for some time now and just recently bought a home. I wanted to thank Jim for his great insights and maintaining this website. In addition, I have learned a great deal from the posters here helped in my purchase.
We had been looking since 2007 casually and it has been a long road sometimes filled with frustration but now that we have moved in, it has made it worth it (at least so far). Many thanks again.
Jim,
Did that LDM property sell? If so, for what?
Sol
It happened to me a couple of weeks back. My pool man now demands I lock my gate(of course it was his pool sweep). Like you they could have easily came over the fence. I guess it’s the sign of the times. What won’t they steal next?
rodeman-
Tell your pool man he can probably buy it back via Craigslist. What a world.
