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.
Disgusting!
I am so sick and tired of these corporate fat cats getting away with fraud like this and then getting multi-million dollar bonuses as a reward!
And that $190 Million dollar fine levied against Wells Fargo is probably tax deductible!
I’m no expert, but I believe as long as none of the suspects tweet something like, “Sorry folks, but *I’m* still gonna call him ‘Bruce Jenner’,” they won’t be prosecuted.
Customers sued Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N) on Friday, accusing the bank of fraud, negligence, invasion of privacy and other claims related to the alleged opening of sham accounts by bank employees.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Utah, seeks class action status.
They will do the same as they did to Angelo…..nothing
Wells Fargo’s headaches are quickly piling up. The bank is now facing an investigation and hearing from the powerful House Financial Services Committee over the opening of millions of fake accounts.
The chairman of the committee, Rep. Jeb Hensarling, revealed it is launching an investigation and said Wells Fargo (WFC) CEO John Stumpf will be called on to testify at a hearing later this month.
Additionally, the House Financial Services Committee sent a letter to Wells Fargo requesting documents related to the bank’s controversial sales tactics and that corporate officers be made available for transcribed interviews.

“I remain concerned that mere financial penalties may not be enough to prevent this from happening again,” Waters said in a statement last week, after Wells Fargo agreed to pay $185 million in fines over the fake accounts scandal.
I remember back in the day when Giuliani was a city prosecutor in NYC, and he had the Feds go into the offices of a brokerage, arrest and handcuff some traders who were insider trading, and led them out of the building, crying.
I think they all beat the rap, but it was fun to see.
That scene in “Wall Street” was based on that event.

I’ve been a customer of Wells Fargo since somewhere around 1989. I’m now making plans to leave them over this scandal. I believe the only way things are going to change is if consumers vote with their dollars and stop patronizing bad businesses.
It may soon be a crime to disrespect these job creators. I’m sure they are paying $100/hr for dog walkers in Nob Hill.
