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.

?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.? Less

We were extremely satisfied with the end-to-end service provided by Klinge Realty with the recent purchase of our home in Carlsbad. We have worked with many other realtors in past sales/purchases, but Jim stands miles apart from them. In our transaction, Jim worked tirelessly and his unsurpassed knowledge of the local market resulted in us maximizing the value of our purchase dollars. Very refreshing to find a realtor working for our interests instead of just a commission. After contract acceptance, the Klinge Realty transition team impeccably handled all details which made for a smooth closing. We highly recommend Jim and the team and believe that one could only go wrong using another realtor. Less

We wrestled with switching realtors when we lost faith that our original listing agent could deliver at the price and time that we wanted. Having seen Jim move multiple homes in our neighborhood over the years, we switched to him without ever actually having met him. Jim was an excellent communicator over the phone and explained his proposed strategy and expected timeline. Both seamed bold in light of our previous experience. The house sold on the very first day he listed it at full list price! Undoubtedly, there was some luck involved in the timing but the way Jim's team handled the transaction after the offer was beyond our expectations. Donna was simply superb and the sale could not have gone any better. He and his team have our highest recommendation. Less

I highly recommend Jim as a buyer?s agent. Working with Jim, we closed this week on a San Diego condo. Jim prepared a list of comparable sales to justify our below listing price offer, which resulted in a counter offer from the seller that we could accept. Jim?s wife steered us through the multitude of details needed to close on schedule and kept the entire transaction moving quickly. We?ve owned three houses over the last 30 years, and this was the smoothest and best real estate transaction we?ve had. With limited inventory and bidding wars starting again, you need good representation to buy the right house at the right time. My recommendation: call Jim the Realtor! Less

Jim is thorough and will be brutally honest about the homes he shows you. He provides great service and follows through until the very end and even after the sale. I would definitely recommend Jim Klinge and his team and will use him again.

Jim educated us, helped us find the perfect house, and then negotiated us a great deal. I would hate to be sitting across the negotiating table from him. He has a ton of knowledge about housing, houses, and the housing market and he readily shares it all. Thanks Jim.
