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.
One of the things I always try to figure out when viewing photos is, “Will my big TV fit in the family room along with my other furniture?” Why does no professional stager ever include the thing that has been a fixture in American homes for 70 years and literally the center of our home entertainment? Especially now with everyone stuck at home and binging TV. When there is no media shown in the photos, my snap impression is that the room must be too small and the stager is trying to trick us by leaving it out of the room.
Duly noted. The fake ones look really fake, and the real TVs are too big and cumbersome to mount temporarily.
But I agree that the TV/entertainment package is a major focal point for many buyers.
staging shows potential buyers that the sellers are committed to the selling process.
get good help indeed.
