Bought a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $525K in San Marcos, CA.
We were very picky buyers and if Jim could help us find our house, then he can help find yours as well. He was recommended by friends at work. We read Jim's blog and found it very informative, insightful and relevant and that made Jim even more attractive to us because his opinions were driven by numbers and not just pure "feelings.” Once we narrowed down an area of interest, Jim made it a priority to help us see houses in that area on the very first day they hit the market/MLS, even if that meant meeting with us twice (morning and evening) on a single day. Once Jim knows that you are serious, he will go to great lengths to make things happen for you.

JtR is witty, insightful, resourceful, and a great negotiator. Trust yourself and trust Jim to get the home that is right for you. While Jim was great in helping us get the right house, the ever prompt and responsive Donna won the deal by holding our hand throughout the escrow process.

Sold a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $625K in San Marcos, CA.
Klinge Realty knew the area well, knew the process well, negotiated a winning deal for us, and helped us with services and re-modeling even after the sale was complete! Their start to finish service was excellent. We highly recommend Klinge.

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $1.6M in Solana Beach, CA.
“We are so glad we found Klinge Realty. My husband and I really enjoyed looking at houses with Jim. He is a highly experienced professional with a tremendous knowledge of the real estate in the areas we searched (from Carlsbad down to Del Mar, and inland to RSF and the Crosby.) Our experience was that Jim is totally honest and will tell you the good, bad and the ugly about each house and neighborhood, and the current market. Our home viewing has come to an end because Jim found a lovely house for us to buy in Solana Beach...and it wasn't even on the market yet. We lived abroad, so Jim would update us with videos of the home as it was being remodeled. He went above and beyond to keep us informed and put the deal together. It's really tough finding a good house for sale at the moment, so having a realtor like Jim is invaluable. After our offer had been accepted, Donna Klinge's expertise came into play in dealing with escrow, contracts, closing, insurance and all the things that need to be sorted out when buying a house. Our emails were always answered promptly, and they kept us aware of all developments and ensured we met our deadlines and responsibilities during the closing process. We can't recommend them highly enough. If we ever need to buy or sell another house in this area we will be calling Klinge Realty.”More Less

"What's the difference between agents, aren't they all about the same?"


Three things different about me:


1. I am hands-on, I do the work myself. In an age when you hear a lot about 'teams' and 'groups' - with me, you get me - a long-time local broker.


I even answer my own phone - try calling it, 858-560-7700.


2. I follow the market very closely, and write about it every day on my blog www.bubbleinfo.com


3. My goal is to have quality relationships with people, while helping them with their real estate needs.


You can call, or email me at jim@jimklinge.com to give me a try - I'm happy to speak with you, with no obligation, to demonstrate how I can help you.

Select your realtor carefully - investigate what we can do for you, agents should be able to demonstrate their value clearly. The blog will give you great insight about my expertise.
