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.
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.
