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.
Looks like Zillow’s playing the old-timey prognosticators game to save face. Utilized when the prognosticator is clueless, but doesn’t want to look bad. Some lame doctors do it with cancer patients when they can’t figure it out.
It’s far better to tell a patient to get his affairs in order and be wrong, than to tell the patient he’ll beat the cancer and be proven wrong.
The first scenario turns against him it’s, “ha ha! He beat your bet, doc! Lemme buy you a beer!” The the second scenario goes wrong, it’s “you misled us, you damned QUACK!!”
Zillow reliably tells us “Figuring out real estate is hard! Where’s our beer?”
Thanks for sharing!
Zillow lost something about 9% of traffic in last 6 months. Growth becomes harder.
