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.
My guess is
28.9 million
(but really I would have bought the Maui Ritz place first)
Imagine how happy the guy is who bought the Ritz resort for 100Mil?
High bid; $24.4m plus auction fees. Does it close? No.
No Reserve…does not mean there won’t be shill bidders. Remember REDC aka auction.com

I see you understand my comment. It won’t happen but the best thing that could happen is if the losing bidders refer the whole thing to the DA if the they get approached after a failed winning bid.
Another mayoral flip? In a historical context, the answer is yes. The RSF Covenant lies within the boundaries of the Osuna land grant. Osuna was the first mayor of San Diego.
The original Covenant has some of the most beautifully designed, landscape-appropriate houses in the county from the likes of Requa, Rice and the Weir Brothers. Nouveau-Gucci monstrosities like the the one shown here are in, uh, another class.
$19,850,000.00 is my official entry in the JtR Sweepstakes.
Oh what the heck, JtR, I’ll join the fun! -> $18,950,000. Will they accept a cashier’s check from me? 🙂
Wow, really gorgeous estate: 29.9 Million
Heard it was 11M gorgeous. (Unconfirmed.)
Looks like $12.32 million.
Yep, which includes the 10% buyer’s premium. Subtract that and the high bid was $11,200,000.
I guessed $11 million but now it’s not in the comments – those sexy young bots must be after me again!
