"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 "

As near future buyers, we would really like to buy something turn-key or even new. But, wouldn’t turn away a fixer in the right location and that’s actually priced as a “fixer”. 🙂
How many fixers have you seen lately that were priced accordingly? Me neither.
They want to knock off $10,000 or $20,000 from retail on million-dollar homes. And people have been going for it.
I reviewed one this week that was priced the same as an upgraded model-match. It needed $120,000 to get up to speed, but it was priced the same! Needless to say, the upgraded one was in escrow, and the fixer was flailing.
You first indicator is how long has the agent been in the business, which you can tell by their license number. In this case, it was less time than Kayla.
