"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 "

nice granite
How is granite usually cut for the end user? Never have had it done myself and always wondered. Is it customary for the consumer to bring in all their measurements and have the granite precut where it is sold? Or is there some kind of tool that you could cut it yourself at the house?
Did you rock out to this song back n the day?

Yep, had the 8-track – the six-gun sound!

Is it customary for the consumer to bring in all their measurements and have the granite precut where it is sold?
Cutting and finishing granite typically takes some specialized equipment. It’s more than cutting, but also polishing the piece and beveling the edges . I have some family members who do tile and granite work, and they always have the piece arrive finished on site. When I’ve had it done, and everyone I’ve known has the same experience. The cabinets are installed, measurements are taken and then the granite is cut to order. Actually,it’s the same experience I’ve had when glass is fabricated. I don’t think that contractors can build to tight enough tolerances for the glass and granite which is why measurements happen after the build.
Wow, that is one heck of a retaining wall! We paid a small fortune for our easy 3-4 foot retaining walls. Would hate to get the bill on that monster! Is this even earthquake safe?
