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.
Jim,
That was great. I’m a big baseball fan, but I’ve never been to a spring training game. It’s always been on my “maybe next year” list.
Glad you had a chance to go.
Maybe next year: Atlanta Braves in Orlando.
The Will Ferrell thing was an extra – I didn’t hear about it until that morning. The Padres pitcher was throwing inside so the hits would go to right field where Ferrell was playing – the previous batter hit a rope to right-center that was caught. Joc showed everybody that these games aren’t an exhibition for him!
Ferrell wore #19 in all the other nine uniforms he wore that day, but wore #20 with his Padres uniform out of respect for Tony Gwynn.
Though when he came into the stadium, he was wearing the old brown and yellow Padres uniform that I think had #19 on it. He then came out of the Padres dugout and went to the mound wearing his Dodgers uniform – maybe while they were preparing his new Padres uni with #20?
You’d think he’d want to play for the Dodgers last because his wife and 4 kids were in the Dodgers dugout, and he’s always been a Dodgers homer.
Wow you picked a good first game to watch. Sweetie n I go most years for a week. Golf in the morning and a game in the afternoon or evenings. Good times.
Wait, Jim, you went to see a game with MY Dodgers without me??? How could you? I guess I can forgive you because on my so-called bucket list is to see Kershaw pitch. And who ever heard of this “rookie” Will Ferrell anyway? 🙂
Hope to catch a Dodgers vs. CO Rockies game in Denver sometime in the 2015 season when I visit my kids. My Dodgers always win there. (It’s become a family joke.)
