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.
Terrible floor plan.
Oh, and remember that you don’t want to make the guest quarters too nice — they’ll never leave!
According to their disclosure docs, Chase is only willing to transfer title via a quitclaim or special warranty deed, not a grant deed. Big difference, and not that insurable.
Shall we play another guessing game on where this one ends up? Of course I’m guessing “reserve” is within about 10% of list.
I wonder whats up with the quitclaim deed?
I guess with a quitclaim you are simply releasing any interest in the title you have.
I wonder whats up with the title that would make them go this route rather than a grant deed?
There are a lot of protections with a grant deed for a buyer arent there?
Speaking of contests… looks like the 5764 Soledad Mtn Rd house just went pending. Guess some brave soul took the plunge. Should see a contest winner pretty soon.

I followed some of these auctions on other properties, mostly up in the OC. It seemed like most never hit reserve price; I’ll bet the reserve price is somewhere near 5% below the current MLS price. BFWOT (big fat waste of time). Plus quit claim deed means you just bought the uninsurable liability of their defective foreclosure processing, among other things. Quit claim means they are selling what they have, if anything. If they screwed up the foreclosure and don’t have good title, you just bought nothing. No refunds, sorry, Moose out front shoulda told ya. Thanks, but no thanks.
I agree with elb. Has auction.com ever sold a house?
Craptacular is right. Location is OK, but who thought that floorplan was desirable? Add the quitclaim deed and the auction approach, this one is one to run away from.
