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 — 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 — we are forever grateful to them.
“Funky” is the only word that comes to mind.
That is one funky floor plan! In fact, that has to be one of the most ‘funky’ floor plans I’ve seen in a while. Second place is that one in ER you had that fronted the golf course (the one that wasn’t upgraded). Had the yellow brick road and ceramic everywhere….what an awful floorplan.
And that $29mil house across the way is over-the-top. Some of the ceiling treatments are questionable, but overall I like it.
Jim, do you think that place across the street will sell? I remember you said that you thought it was worth $15,000,000….he lists it for twice that.
I doubt that he’s going to get anywhere near $30,000,000….that’s oceanfront Del Mar/La Jolla money.
Thoughts?
That is a ridiculous house.
1. Enter and BOOM staircase and doors.
2. Completely unneccesary spiral staircase in back.
3. Two kitchens, with what appears to be the primary one being upstairs…
4. …right by the only bathroom upstairs. A million dollar house with no bath connected to the master bedroom.
5. Silly water feature in said bathroom.
6. …and a silly mural in the bathroom downstairs.
What a mess.
The coming soon signs (if they’re up for more than a week) annoy the heck out of me. A week is still stupid, but whatever… I think it’s just a way to keep the DOM stats for that agent down. Or try to.
geotpf, I agree. It is quite ridiculous….and that water feature? That made my laugh.
Gives new meaning to the popular term “hot mess”.
With the 2nd door in front, almost like this is supposed to be a duplex
Cloggin’ ‘n’ bloggin’: quite a combo.
I’m amused by seeing high prices for these “homes with an ocean view” (even a mile away over rooftops sometimes). I’m on the East Coast, third house from the beach. $250/sqft.
It’s been a while, but it’s good to hear the low batt. smoke detecter beeps again!
So you think you can dance dance dance 😀
If one of those staircases was available to an exterior entry, could this be turned into a “duplex”? LOL
