We were very happy with their service and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for an Honest, Knowledgeable, Skilled, Informed Efficient realty team. Both Jim & Donna were so helpful in different ways and complemented each others skills. Please refer to a more detailed review that we wrote on YELP. Thank You Both for all your help!!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A+ thank youTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We sold a home with Jim and Donna and from beginning to end they were consummate professionals. Their initial walk through the property resulted in a list of items to be repaired or updated. They supplied a list of vendors and job quotes to do the repairs and updates. We originally wanted to sell ‘as is’ and just get it over with. They gave us a selling price for ‘as is’ and options for doing a few updates/repairs to doing it all with the selling price for each option. We agreed to do all they suggested and we sold for the exact price they predicted. For every dollar spent we got back more than $2 back in the selling price. And they got that price in a rising interest rate environment! Donna and Jim are extremely detailed and guide you through ever aspect of the sale. There were no surprises thanks to their guidance. We couldn’t be more pleased with their representation. Thank you Donna and Jim, Jerry and MaryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. WeI had the pleasure of working with Klinge Realty Group to sell our home in Carmel Valley, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Jim and Donna demonstrated exceptional professionalism, offering expert guidance on market conditions and pricing strategy, which resulted in a quick and successful sale. Communication was prompt and we were well-informed throughout the entire process. For anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate team, look no further! ---Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Donna and Jim Klinge of Klinge Realty Group have our highest possible recommendation. From Donna and Jim’s first visit to our house through closing their advice and counsel was candid and honest in all dealings. They kept us fully informed throughout the process. The house sold less than three days after listing with a two-week closing. My wife and I have sold several houses during our lives. This was by far the best experience. Klinge Reality is a premium service realtor. You can’t make a better choice for someone to sell your home fast and for top dollar.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Donna and Jim provided exceptional support and professionalism throughout the entire process. We couldn't have been happier with their efforts. They made our house shine, and thanks to their expertise, it sold above the listing price in the very first weekend! Truly a fantastic experience from start to finish.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This year has been difficult on our family, mainly due to having to sell our home. Thankfully we knew God had a plan for us and working with the Klinge team was a key part of it. It was an obvious decision to work with them again after such an amazing experience when purchasing the same home we needed to sell. The challenge was, how will we do this in so little time with so much going on? Jim and Donna held our hand every step of the way. Whenever an unexpected issue arose they found and provided a solution. Never once did we feel pressured to make a decision and the Klinges were always reassuring after providing the information that the decision was ours to make. Despite the curve balls, they never panicked and exemplified the “can do” attitude, making us feel optimistic and taken care of. Their expertise and professionalism was superb. But of all the reasons to work with the Klinges, the most impactful and valuable is their compassion and genuine care for their clients. We pray that we can one day purchase our forever home and you better believe that Jim and Donna will be representing us - as long as they will have us of course. Thank you again Klinge team! Your execution, experience, and care are unmatched.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jim and Donna were fantastic! Jim understanding my needs, recommending potential places, pointing out the pros and cons of each property was invaluable. Then when the offer was accepted Donna’s organized guidance through the inspections, paperwork etc made the whole process seem effortless. So grateful that I had them on my side!Load more
We have 325 million people gracing this great country. No more than 6000 Klan members usually hiding on the right. I don’t know how many net-bolsheviks (Antifa) are on the left, but they’ve been showing up a lot. The other day, a few of them showed up and had a little planned skirmish while hiding behind decent folks on the left and right. Some delusional schizophrenic kid, according to his teachers, apparently was off his meds, got excited, and did what schitzo’s sometimes do: something crazy. The cost of freedom in this country is we don’t allow police to just lock up a schizo unless he proves a menace to himself.
Them’s the facts so far.
A lot of political tomfrickery by a small fraction in a tiny town that was allowed to get out of hand.
Despite the tragedy, enabled brats on all sides, people with things to do, and places to go, are all good, and giving it the consideration that’s due…

Is it possible to get along with people who worship Adolf Hitler?
Is it possible to get along with people who worship Adolf Hitler?
We would have to have a commitment to tolerance by all to have a chance. The media doesn’t help – they are selling conflict, not tolerance.

“Is it possible to get along with people who worship Adolf Hitler?”
Seems to me that is a perhaps unintentionally racially loaded question, since between Stalin and Mao Zedong, a hundred million people, at least, were wiped off the face of the earth before and prior to WII, and they weren’t mentioned, nor their political bent, or whether communist or even socialist marches should be shut down by a mob, in the query. Since the source of the greatest purge in the history of humanity was omitted from the question, it might unintentionally imply that a lot of people of color… don’t matter. I believe they do. All humans matter.
Historically, I would also point out that a few weeks after war was declared on behalf of the principal of Poland’s right to exist, Stalin invaded Poland, and committed the organized execution of thousands of Polish intellectuals, teachers, doctors, politicians. This was after Stalin murdered virtually all of his generals, and top brass in his own military, and starving the Ukrainians to the point that they were killing and eating their kids. He also rejected the international laws of the Geneva convention, since the Geneva convention was squarely against lining up people based on their ethnicity, shooting them in the head in droves, and dumping them into a ditch. One of Stalin’s favorite things to do at the time. Google: The Katyn Massacre, Stalin’s Purges, and Russian Cannibalism. Not pleasant reading. I’ll leave alone the German ethnic cleansing by Stalin after WWII, but it also wasn’t pleasant. And by the way, Stalin got to his area of Poland, despite it’s autonomy being the premise of WWII.
Rather than declare war on him, we became allies with this man. Ask Poles, Ukrainians, or Lithuanians, among other countries, if they’re okay with Communist Pride marches going unmolested in the United States. After all, they have a right to speak, don’t they? Ask Finland if they think it’s a good idea.
Currently, mayhem ensues in socialist Venezuela. Lately, some of it’s citizens have resorted on eating their Zoo exhibits to satisfy their calorie count. Their citizens rate very high on the human suffering index these days. Should we try to get along with Bernie Saunders? Google: Cognitive Dissonance, and Confirmation Bias.
Back to your question, in my opinion, yes, all of the above perhaps misguided people should be allowed to speak, free of mob justice, as freedom of speech is guaranteed by our Constitution. It’s not intended for their benefit primarily, but for your benefit, since it ironically keeps you from turning into a version of them.
Because they’re intrinsically weak, they have to try to exploit our strength to be heard, since in many other countries, they’d very likely wind up in a forgotten ditch feeding the foliage, like their party’s former victims. It seems perverse, but remember our Constitution was crafted by brilliant people of merit, not somebody’s inbred cousin. It works the way it does because it was intended to. I tend to side with what is arguably the greatest, most insightful and creative written piece of work since the bible, and take my chances.
That was quite eloquent, thank you.
Daytrip, can I buy you a beer?
