Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jim & Donna Klinge helped us sell our home of 30 years in Ocean Hills. We were very happy with their service and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for an Honest, Knowledgeable, Skilled, Informed Efficient realty team. Both Jim & Donna were so helpful in different ways and complemented each others skills. Please refer to a more detailed review that we wrote on YELP. Thank You Both for all your help!!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A+ thank youTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We sold a home with Jim and Donna and from beginning to end they were consummate professionals. Their initial walk through the property resulted in a list of items to be repaired or updated. They supplied a list of vendors and job quotes to do the repairs and updates. We originally wanted to sell ‘as is’ and just get it over with. They gave us a selling price for ‘as is’ and options for doing a few updates/repairs to doing it all with the selling price for each option. We agreed to do all they suggested and we sold for the exact price they predicted. For every dollar spent we got back more than $2 back in the selling price. And they got that price in a rising interest rate environment! Donna and Jim are extremely detailed and guide you through ever aspect of the sale. There were no surprises thanks to their guidance. We couldn’t be more pleased with their representation. Thank you Donna and Jim, Jerry and MaryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. WeI had the pleasure of working with Klinge Realty Group to sell our home in Carmel Valley, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Jim and Donna demonstrated exceptional professionalism, offering expert guidance on market conditions and pricing strategy, which resulted in a quick and successful sale. Communication was prompt and we were well-informed throughout the entire process. For anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate team, look no further! ---Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Donna and Jim Klinge of Klinge Realty Group have our highest possible recommendation. From Donna and Jim’s first visit to our house through closing their advice and counsel was candid and honest in all dealings. They kept us fully informed throughout the process. The house sold less than three days after listing with a two-week closing. My wife and I have sold several houses during our lives. This was by far the best experience. Klinge Reality is a premium service realtor. You can’t make a better choice for someone to sell your home fast and for top dollar.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Donna and Jim provided exceptional support and professionalism throughout the entire process. We couldn't have been happier with their efforts. They made our house shine, and thanks to their expertise, it sold above the listing price in the very first weekend! Truly a fantastic experience from start to finish.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This year has been difficult on our family, mainly due to having to sell our home. Thankfully we knew God had a plan for us and working with the Klinge team was a key part of it. It was an obvious decision to work with them again after such an amazing experience when purchasing the same home we needed to sell. The challenge was, how will we do this in so little time with so much going on? Jim and Donna held our hand every step of the way. Whenever an unexpected issue arose they found and provided a solution. Never once did we feel pressured to make a decision and the Klinges were always reassuring after providing the information that the decision was ours to make. Despite the curve balls, they never panicked and exemplified the “can do” attitude, making us feel optimistic and taken care of. Their expertise and professionalism was superb. But of all the reasons to work with the Klinges, the most impactful and valuable is their compassion and genuine care for their clients. We pray that we can one day purchase our forever home and you better believe that Jim and Donna will be representing us - as long as they will have us of course. Thank you again Klinge team! Your execution, experience, and care are unmatched.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jim and Donna were fantastic! Jim understanding my needs, recommending potential places, pointing out the pros and cons of each property was invaluable. Then when the offer was accepted Donna’s organized guidance through the inspections, paperwork etc made the whole process seem effortless. So grateful that I had them on my side!Load more
$746,000 is my #
I guess $825,000
Here’s a possible head fake for the appraiser.
None of these row houses have sold in the last year, according to the MLS.
But this one below just closed in December. The square footage is almost identical, it’s newer, but it’s on SOUTH Cedros, not north:
http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-110040272-836_S_Cedros_Ave_Solana_Beach_CA_92075
Appraisers who are moving fast are going to rely on this comp. The other for-sale sign is in front of an expired listing that was listed for $1,075,000 for 2,292sf.
The list price could end up being $900,000+.
My guess is $885k.
Ok then $901,000
That noise my bother some people.
$799,000
$929,000 because it’s in Solana Beach.
750K. Train, hwy/ambulance, water issue in front. Plus, not a single floor home. Old folks have to walk the steps. Nice location. I’ll give a little premium for newer construction. Train is biggest factor — when people see an issue like that they’ll stay away.
$875,500. Love the fact it’s just down the street from Claire’s! But the train is a major issue.
Let’s try $862,000
I guess $815,000
This is a toughie. Location is fantastic. Who cares about trains and noise when you can walk everywhere? Its the price of urban coastal baby!
But those floor plans suck. The upstairs is ok, but the downstairs is like a cave. Plus, there is NO parking for when your friends come to visit. Hard to see this going for anything close to a million.
My guess – $929,000.
Oops! Happs guessed 929,000. I’ll guess 929,999.
$909,000 is my guess….
my guess is $930,000 cash
My guess is $932K (Solano Beach) Big question: does the train roar past @ 2 AM every night?
*Grin* If I win, gee to have some beers w/ JtR! A girl can dream, can’t she…
$866 all cash. Why not?
I’ll take a stab -$1.1 mill.
$ 949,000 It`s only money.
$855 000 ;D who knows I may be right.
839K takes it. See you at the Street Fair!
My guess is $928K!
Fraudstink! I beat you to it, on your Youtube comments
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4KLupK_9Jw&feature=plcp&context=C369fd4aUDOEgsToPDskK7zohJP4CF4AljITum8Tfb
$789,500 is the guess
$890,000 and a lifetime supply of california burritos from the Roberto’s across the street.
999,000 is my guesstimate
$835,000 is my guess
$893,500 is my guess.
I’ll go with the $850k Trustee Sale price.
$875,500………………..
$810,000… my final answer.
$979,000 ………….
$829,000
You could get used to the train, but would you ever get used to having nowhere to park?
List $999,900
Sale $1,050,000
$759,000 , trains , trains and trains ! Big deterrent..
$1,087,000 will be the sales price.
$950,000, it’s a done deal.
1,050,000
🙂
xoxoxo
I’ll try $905,000….again.
$869,950.00 weather looks great
824,500………………..
Not for me but for someone…. $845k
One meeleeyon dollars. ($1M).
If I win, fly Susie in for beers and beach time. 🙂
902k. solana beach is crazy.
889,000
There’s a local company that specializes in sales of these types of quad copters and drones:
https://store.diydrones.com/AboutUs.asp
$990k, no contingencies except inspection.
You found a tough one this time Jim.
Let’s try $833,000.
I’ll say $999,999.
