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.
Feel free to delete this if you want Jim, but I thought it was interesting, if not horribly OT.

“Remember what Chris Dodd said about FNM and FRE right before they went bankrupt? He was saying how sound they were; that everything was great; that there was nothing to worry about. That’s exactly the same thing they’re saying over at the FHA. Don’t believe it.”
A roadrunner! Cool! I’ve never seen one of those in real life. Guess I’ve lived in non-desert climates my whole life… 😉

Jim, you’d better be careful out there. Eventually you’re bound to encounter some hostile owners/renters.
Great vid, you won’t find roadrunners and pumpkin patches browsing the mls 🙂
What a great dope farm. I mean the purchaser (dope), not weed…
Good Luck with this bucket of rocks. Mozilo and Yun should buy it together and open up a real estate institute. Charge $ 5K per day or $7K for NAR members. Guest speakers David Lereah and Chris Dodd on ethics.
Late to the party and not contributing anything useful, but for posterity’s sake I enjoyed the 4 out of 4 vehicles passed on the road that were large pickups. Hellhole’s version of the ice cream truck.
OK, please resume.
