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.
IMO, seems to me the reason President Trump is working to ease up current restrictions on anything having to do with raw production is we have an obscene deficit via unbridled money-printing to float the S&P from the prior administration, and that needs to be mitigated. Only way to do that is a production boom, imo.
His theory seems to be, “let’s now work with what we have, because we have a lot.”
To me, this would mean kicking ass with viable, in-your-face production, instead of kissing the rings of social media sociopath middle-men successfully monetizing narcissism.
Additionally, Greenpeace and especially the Sierra Club, while they began with great intentions, are demonstrably devoted enemies against this state, and need a little political hamstringing including dismissing them as a valid political voice, which I hope pans out. They’ve done enough damage. They need to dismissed, when they croak about easing up some EPA restrictions that no longer make sense.
Anyhoo… as long as Trump keeps putting the pedal to the metal on real production, I think real estate prices aren’t going to be doing anything fancy on the downside. Real estate is a thermometer of a productive environment. imo.
The last dive reflected a significant number of our population sitting on their asses, playing video games while rapid-fire posting pictures of their ugly babies on MySpace, and taking a bit of time out to file liar loans to sociopaths handing out silly mortgages, as well as the folks who were too busy supporting themselves to notice what was happening.
While people are still promoting themselves to friends and family for no reason on Facebook, it’s not with the prior narcissistic intensity as before, and Trump appears to be getting steel made, coal dug, and soon, bridges built.
In other words, for millennials, it’s not your father’s real estate sh*tshow, so don’t be planning on any massive dump of real estate anytime soon. That was a once-in-a-lifetime thing, imo. Quality properties will keep winning, as has been noted here by people smarter than me, again and again.
Daytrip –
I think you and I were separated at birth. Well said and completely agree. Something tells me you lean libertarian.
America was great back in the day because of production. This is why an increase in government and a shrinking private sector sees the opposite affect. Government doesn’t produce anything. We have to produce, raise interest rates, and invite capital back in. That said, the Fed is still F’d and should be abolished.
Strongly agree!
I’m not allowed to be a libertarian, because I’m against legalizing pot. Can’t be conservative since I support abortion. Can’t be a liberal since I believe everyone is ultimately responsible for their own repeated willfully stupid behavior.
I rooted for Trump, first and foremost to protect the Supreme Court for the next generation. By all accounts, even by his devoted enemies, he’s kicked ass getting that job done. As a longtime US citizen, for that alone, I’m smiling like that old cigar guy on the A-Team. Every… day.
And I believe folks should pay attention to… Richard Dreyfus!
