"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 "

This is so sad. I grew up in Japan, spent 12 years there (my dad is a retired Marine).
Watching this seems unreal.
Got a call at 7am from the local police saying to get to higher ground. Not a fun way to wake up.
I just heard that the city of Minamasoma, Japan is a “city swept away”. All the houses, cars, etc. are gone. The overhead video taken just shows water as far as you can see. The population’s over 72,000, and it’s not clear if there are any survivors.
The videos I’ve seen today from Japan are truly heartbreaking…
What a nightmare. It’s hard to even believe it’s really happening, the destruction is so extreme.
I doubt very much the entire population of Minamasoma has been wiped out. The Japanese are very much aware they live in a geologically unstable part of the world. They hold disaster drills every few months, and their building codes are extremely strict. As soon as the earthquake had ended, the population would have started evacuating the town almost immediately.
While their excessive preparedness might not have helped those who had lost their lives in the disaster, it definitely saved a huge number of lives that otherwise would have been lost as well.
I wish all the best to the people of Japan.
We recently spent several years living in Tokyo. I did not feel very confident in the ability of the Japanese to cope with something like this and hoped it would not happen while we were there. Yes, the Japanese have a plan … you just hope the earthquake will follow the plan. In this case it didn’t.
I have many friends still in Tokyo and I know some have left with their kids to go back to their home country. They will wait it out away from the chaos and possible radiation. Unfortunately not everyone has that choice.
