"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 "

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 "

Hey, isn’t this that really “quaint” house up in Leucadia?
Our neighbors just had the poison bouncy-castle treatment on their home, to be followed up by orange oil treatments around the foundation (I think).
…And we have some tell-tale signs in our house as well. *sigh*
All homes have termites from the moment they are framed. It’s really not a big deal, controlling leaks is the biggest issue. Termites thrive where the wood is wet.
Every decade or two you need to tent your house. You can also use heat treatment instead of poisons.
Yes Peter, it’s the Leucadia house. I need to get an “after” version on video, it looks terrific now!
I was an inspector for about ten years total. I ended up working for a shop out of Lancaster using silica dust to treat drywood termites. I still believe this method to have real merit… Drywoods are easy to kill if you take their moisture from them.
Where I live now we only have subterranean and Im not interested in ever crawling a house again.
But the comments of Mozart are really incorrect. It really depends on the location and how vigilant you have been. And even then …
Venice near L.A. is heavily infested while some areas around Whittier are barely touched. Drywoods don’t live in soaked wood. They avoid it. Im not familiar with heat treatments but some attics Ive been in measured 130 degrees… And the little guys thrived. The only way to know is to have your house inspected by a reputable company.
What’s a reputable company? I’m always so skeptical of termite inspectors – even more so than auto mechanics!
I love this Mark the termite guy he has been
