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.
City of San Diego should stop all these mega mansions being built. So freaking ridiculous. They should only allow permits for 1500 ft.² to 2500 ft.² so people actually have a chance to afford it and also allow a free stories for gods sake.
I don’t think they have to stop, as long as they are doing something elsewhere.

They really should be working on the transformation of MCAS Miramar – it’s 23,116 acres of prime real estate!

SAN DIEGO — San Diego approved a plan Tuesday to transform Kearny Mesa from a mostly blighted commercial and industrial area into one of San Diego’s fastest growing residential neighborhoods. The proposal, which the City Council approved unanimously, would increase the population of Kearny Mesa from 10,400 to roughly 60,000 over the next 30 years by spiking the number of housing units from 4,300 to nearly 26,000.
While the major change for the neighborhood would be increased housing, the plan also would add 25,000 more jobs by encouraging mixed-use villages throughout the community.
That would enhance Kearny Mesa’s status as one of the city’s leading job centers, along with downtown, Mission Valley, Otay Mesa and the “Golden Triangle” area around University City.
The plan, called a community plan update, aims to address San Diego’s need for affordable housing while reducing greenhouse gases.
That’s great but my kids would like to buy a small house one day and not be in a stacked condo like a rat in a cage. Zoning laws should allow three story houses and discourage all these mega mansions in Carmel Valley and RSF. ITS ENOUGH!! Really – we just need three bedroom two bath 1500 square-foot starter homes in good areas.
The mayor is recommending this firm for the Midway redevelopment – that’s two big projects. At least they are trying to accommodate lower-income housing as efficiently as possible:
