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.
Yuck. I h8 CV. Small yards. Neighbors are right on top of you. Can not find parking at grocery store. I know – school district rocks but I don’t want that much pressure on my kids. Poway or Encinitas is much better. I’d rather send my kids to Private schools anyways as I don’t want CRT brainwashing my kids. EFF CV!!!
Jim, YOU ARE OLD! Microwaves are like toasters than ovens. Built in toaster? Likewise, no built in microwave. When we spent “half-a-house” on the kitchen remodel we put the microwave in a cabinet. Best of both worlds.
To be honest, when I saw the “yard” I thought nice patio landing, the yard must be great.
I’ve lowered the bar. I used to say you could play croquette in a yard. Now I use the smaller playing badminton is okay. You cannot play badminton in this “yard.”
This is south the 56, the slower, sleepier side of Carmel Valley. No problem parking at the grocery store, here!
True this is the preferred side of CV and in the Del Mar school district for K-8.
No.
