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.

Oh, doh, I guess I was too late. My guess was too low anyways.
“BofA will be requesting their ‘highest-and-best’ offer on Monday, once the listing has been on the MLS for their minimum 3 days. It looks like it’s going to end up over $140,000!”
That’s stunning, Jim.
Does anybody have an idea how much this will rent for? If it’s below my guess of $1,500 a month, and they are going to pay more than $140k, they are overpaying, IMHO.
I think it ends up as a bunkhouse for the illegal aliens who keep our economy humming. Don’t even need to redo kitchen, just stick a fridge in there for cerveza and a stove for some random cooking. Rent for $100 a head a month to 12-15 guys.
