Hello, and Welcome!

Jim Klinge has been serving the real estate needs of San Diego buyers and sellers for decades, and is known for his savvy negotiating strategies, creative internet marketing, and thoughtful insights on market conditions. He combines those with his dedicated hand-on approach to ensure outstanding results for his clients.

Jim ranks in the top 1% of agents nationwide and has sold over 1,000 homes throughout San Diego County. He has specialized in the SD North County coastal region since the mid-1990s.

In his commitment to help educate consumers, Jim has authored his blog www.bubbleinfo.com since 2005, where he tracks the current market conditions, gives tips on buying and selling, plus demonstrates his expertise in a fully transparent way.

Jim was an early adapter of real estate videography and takes pride in producing top-quality films to help market his listings. He has sold houses to people who have never stepped foot in the home – they bought the home purely based on his video presentations.

And we haven’t gotten to the best part yet – Jim’s wife Donna has been his business partner for the last 22 years, and just when you think Jim’s attention to detail can’t be beat, then Donna joins in and together they provide a seamless, easy transition for their clients!

Jim and Donna have two daughters. Kayla graduated from University of Oregon and has been a thriving New York City realtor for over five years. Their youngest Natalie graduated from UCLA and is a professional dancer in Los Angeles while also working for the family business.

Richard has been a resident of North County for over 45 years and has seen the growth of each town from Oceanside to Del Mar over the years. He has seen sleepy Encinitas go from a town with a two way road on Pacific Coast Highway to a bustling urban landscape and Oceanside turn their downtown area from one that you didn’t want to venture into, to a great location for food and entertainment. This knowledge of the area allows Richard to have a firm grasp of the unique traits of each neighborhood in North County. Before entering the Real Estate field in 2000 his background was in hospitality, where he managed multiple locations for the Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza chain and the previous Four Seasons Hotel in Carlsbad.

Richard’s training with the Four Seasons allows him to bring a clear understanding of care and detail to each transaction. As an agent, he has a genuine vested interest with each of his clients, whether they are buying their first one bedroom condo, selling their starter home to move into something bigger, or purchasing a commercial property as an investment, each client has a unique vision for what they are looking for in a property. It is Richard’s goal with every transaction to make that vision their personal success. He’s had clients buy the first home that they have walked into and he has also worked with other clients for 3 years before they found their perfect home, but each transaction was equally as important to him. Richard looks forward to guiding you to your own personal property success story.

Kayla Klinge is the definition of a “people-person.” Having worked in Real Estate for over 11 years, that’s a good trait to have.

Kayla got her start in Real Estate right after college. Her father, Jim Klinge, has been involved in real estate since 1984 and founded the successful Klinge Realty in San Diego, California in 2002. When Kayla graduated college, she decided to join the family business. Much like her father, once she started, she never looked back.

Her favorite part of working in real estate is yes, the people, but more than that, she loves solving problems. Whether the deal is about to be signed or just getting started Kayla relishes the opportunity to find a solution that makes all parties happy.

Kayla attended Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego and then traveled north to attend the University of Oregon. She now lives in Manhattan in Hell’s Kitchen. In her spare time, she loves having picnics in the park, hiking or being outside in general, cheering on the Oregon Ducks during football season, and seeing live music. She is also a big foodie and loves tasting all the different cuisines that NYC has to offer. An avid yogini, Kayla has been practicing yoga for over a decade and loves going to classes with her mom when she’s in town. Even though she is far from the West Coast, Kayla is still involved in her Cathedral Catholic High School and University of Oregon alumni board.

Real estate is the perfect profession for Michele as she enjoys guiding others towards their goals and creating trustworthy relationships. She cares about and listens to her clients’ needs and always goes above and beyond to find the right solution for them.

She was introduced to real estate by Jim Klinge. Jim has been involved in real estate since 1984 and founded the successful Klinge Realty Group in San Diego, California in 2002. She is so grateful to be working with one of the most experienced teams in North County. Before her real estate career, she worked in the service industry at some great local restaurants and continues to teach yoga in Carlsbad and Encinitas.

She is very generous, cares deeply for others, and is very outgoing! She was born and raised in Oceanside, where she’s been surfing since she was a little girl. She has been an avid yogi since 2013. She also loves golfing (on her good days), dining out at local restaurants, and spending time with her family and friends.

Natalie is a lifelong Southern California resident, growing up in North County San Diego and then moving to Los Angeles to attend the University of California, Los Angeles, and pursue her dance career. With her extremely hardworking parents Jim and Donna, she grew up with real estate all around her! She has fond memories of looking through the MLS as a kid with her dad to look at the most luxurious listings throughout San Diego.

Joined the team in 2020 as a marketing coordinator, Natalie assists with all things marketing. From postcards, digital advertisement, social media, and more, she has brought her creativity and hard work to the table while constantly learning on the job. She is committed to continuously improving and refining her craft and contributions to the team.

When not working for Klinge Realty, she’s dancing in Los Angeles and chasing her dreams! She enjoys staying active, spending time with her friends and family, and exploring new places near and far.
