"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 "

"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 "

Oh no! I saw Jim in the video. Now I don’t want to purchase the house because I can no longer visualize myself living in it…
Shouldn`t your 500th video be a `Best of JTR` ? Just like they do on television.
This was filmed in July – I’m pushing 600 now.
For a crack house, that sure looks nice.
So what would you tell a your buyer if you were showing them the home? Would you even recommend that they put an offer on it if they liked it?
Thanks for the video, now I have something else to look for when checking out homes.
Jim, I looked at a beautiful spanish Style house on 5 acres wednsday, gorgeous views,tennis and Bocce courts. first rate landscaping. When I walked around back I saw a crack in the foundation with water flowing out of it and a 2 foot wide fan of silt. $1.147MM price tag. I would definitely want an expert opinion before advising anyone to buy that place. The problem looked fixable to me,for a price. But a discount would be necessary. I am in Sonoma County, but anyone considering hillside property anywhere in California should take a close look.
foundation with water flowing out of it
Yes, worth checking that out!
The biggest concern on any cracked house is resale – you can always seal them up and live happily ever after.
But if you sell, you must disclose, and the next buyer will want a sharp discount.
A friend of mine had cracked pipes in his foundation. What he did was seal up the pipes (filled them with cement), then made a new set of pipes from the water main through the walls (never touching the foundation).
I’m sure there’s a name for something like this, but I’m not a Contractor.
I think he said the renovation costs like $40-50k. Is something like that normal?
Can cracks in a flower bed wall be caused only from too much water behind it? Or does the ground under it have to shift to cause a block to crack like in your video?
I ask because we have cracks in our blocks in our flower bed wall and I’m hoping our house is ok!
