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.
Where are people getting this money? 200k annual puts you at the 1% of W2 Wage earners, with 20% down thats still a 5k a month note.
I don’t get it.
Buyer used a VA loan, with some down payment.
Wow, is $715 / sf normal? Lots of houses sell for 1mn, but that seems a mighty high premium for a tiny house close to gritty Santa Fe drive. At least you’re freeway close and walking distance to 7-11 a Carls Jr and laundromat?
Walkable! Get a couple of 40s while doing your laundry – now that’s convenience!
The house was 1,000sf and garage/flat was 400sf.
Unisex urinal! Now that’s cool.
40 years ago this was nowhere near the beach. Now it is and it isn’t sea level rise. It is revised lower expectations.
