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.
From a meter measure of 0 to 5, five being “Zow!” and zero being “Kill it With Fire,” I give this preliminary demo a 5. This seems like it will be a great additional tool to take advantage of the extra money pouring into the economy thanks to President-to-Be Trump’s apparently awesome new economic plan.
When will offer video tour on VHS tape ?
I don’t get it. This isn’t a Zillow “killer” it’s an alternative to Zillow, Ziprealty, Redfin that appears to do all the same functionality. The likelihood that this will run bug free day one is 1 in 100. In the tech world it’s very hard to out do the current market leader with an equivalent product.
Realtors should band together with appraisers in some form or other to provide a more realistic “Zestimate” than what zillow does. This would give them a better product and something to compete with.
Redfin did it already.
Well I guess 6 years late is better than nothing.
The title has some frustration associated with it.
The 1.0 version was a flop, and now they get ‘excited’ about rolling out the 2.0 version, with no interest in how they compare to the competition. They literally think that all they have to do is create a website that works, and realtors will be the marketing arm that distributes to the consumers.
But are the consumers going to take a look at what you saw in that video, and forget Zillow, etc.?
I like any potential alternative to Zillow. They’ve gotten too damned cocky, imo.
