As soon as we decided to sell our beloved home, we met with Jodi and it was clear to us that not only was she knowledgeable and an expert in the area market. We found in her a warm, kind, and very responsive person.   Although it was hard for us to decide to put our house on the market and we were so emotionally attached to our home, Jodi guided us through the entire process. Selling a home can be overwhelming, but Jodi accompanied us and made the journey smooth. She was always caring and patient and took all the time we needed to go over everything and explain the entire process in detail.  Jodi was always available to answer our emails, calls, and texts. Jodi is efficient, knowledgeable, organized, and she makes you feel that she always cares. We could rely on Jodi and we know that she always will have our best interest in mind. Our relationship went beyond just selling our home, it was based on trust and deep care.  Jodi always managed to find the best outcome despite the difficulties.  We can’t thank Jodi enough for her care, her dedication, and support throughout the entire process and beyond. We highly recommend her for her warm and caring personality, her high standards, and her outstanding professionalism.

As the Buyer of a home in South Durham, I cannot recommend Jodi Bakst highly enough. She was absolutely excellent throughout the entire process! Jodi's market knowledge is truly unparalleled. Her insights were invaluable in understanding the neighborhood and making a competitive offer. Her communication was consistently sharp and objective, keeping me informed and focused without any unnecessary fluff. Most impressively, her professionalism was incredible; she was always prepared and responsive. Jodi went above and beyond. She didn't just secure the house; she ensured a smooth transition into owning it. Her kind guidance has helped me get settled in my new home. Her negotiation skills were masterful as she advocated for my needs regarding inspection requests and terms, and yet did so in a reasonable and approachable way that kept the seller genuinely happy. Jodi understood how to create solutions that worked for both sides, turning a potentially stressful process into a true win-win. Thanks to Jodi's expertise and dedication, navigating my home purchase in a smooth and more successful way than I could have hoped for.

Jodi is both flexible and organized. She guided us through the sales process including identifying trusted contractors and explaining how to best get our home ready for sale. She knows the local market and agents extremely well. She was always willing to jump in and solve the issues that emerged. We will work with Jodi again and highly recommend her.

Jodi is truly an amazing agent with a very thoughtful systematic approach. She is super responsive, on top and on time with showings. Her follow ons with elaborate comps and thoroughness with the offer process speaks to her deep experiences. Her honest assessments always help irrespective of what stage you are in the buying process. Her deep roots to the area are very helpful from due diligence to repairs through closing.

Jodi is an excellent communicator and knows the Chapel Hill and surrounding area market extremely well. She has always been professional and kind and helpful. She always goes above and beyond , and knows to focus on the big picture. She knows the right people to help you get things done before the house goes on the market and she knows how to prioritize tasks . I was impressed with her ability to see what needed to be done. She advised us very well and her advertising methods, photography , are at the forefront of what’s needed today to get the sale done. She’s highly recommended and this is not the first real estate transaction she’s done with us , so it’s a testament to her excellence that we specifically sought her out again !

Jodi was a great partner in selling my home. I met her through the buying process, where she represented the seller (as I was buying). She was firm and fair from a buyer perspective and advocated incredibly for her client. When it was time for me to move out of state and sell my home, she was just as big of an advocate for me as she'd been when I was on the other side of the table. She's extremely professional and took her time to make sure I was comfortable with every stage of the process as a first time seller. Thanks Jodi!

Between being out of state buyers, and not all to familiar with the area, we really needed a realtor we could rely on and trust to guide us with her expertise that would help us with making this significant decision. Lynn listened to what we were wanting and we have many demands on location and characteristics of the home and neighborhood. We also have little kids so we had high priority about that too. I ahad specific's upon specifics! I may have been the most needy client ever, but talking with Lynn, we never felt that way. She truly was invested and gave us sound ideas and advice. Lynn is organized and paid attention to details. She is keen and is a wealth of knowledge. She went in crawlspaces, she was inspecting the bones and pointed out potential concerns we should be aware of and also highlighted the positives- I learned from her evaluations which is an added bonus. Speaking of which, one first trip up we had our kids. She made them a little “day trip in car” assortment which was so thoughtfully crafted. Healthy snacks, a journal and drawing/ coloring supplies. Lynn is also well connected to all the right people. She had trusted vendors that have come through for us and worked out very well. Lynn Nilssen is a go-getter. I swear, she woke up each morning and thought, “How can I help that family ever more?” On our 2nd (and last) trip there, one day when we looked a flurry of listing within our short trip up and we needed to charge our rental car, so she offered for us to use her home charger. She didn't have to do that! I hope she knows how appreciative our family is to have had our realtor be Lynn Nilssen. She handled every detail and was “on top of it”. She’s simply the best I’ve ever worked with.Over and beyond. So much so that I recommended my beloved in-laws to go with Lynn so I knew they were in the most capable hands. Oh, did I mention we got 99% of what we required at the price point we were hoping??? Lynn Nilssen and her team get 5+++ shiny gold stars!

Jodi is fantastic! She was with us every step of the way to get us the property we were looking for. I highly recommend her and will always go with her as my real estate agent in the future.

From our first contact Jodi has set herself apart from other realtors we have known over the years. She was patient, thorough and did her research. Each time we visited a property we had so much information to assist in understanding the area and the value of the property including comps and outside advice for possible changes we were considering to a property. Once we chose to make an offer, she continued to offer council and assisted us through closing. When she was unavailable she had an associate assist who was also incredibly helpful. Jodi is possibly the best agent I have ever worked with.

Jodi took care of every detail, followed up with surveyors, inspections, work which needed to be done, and did it all under sometimes trying conditions - all with good humor and thoughtfulness. She gave us a sense of security and peace of mind that all would run smoothly...and it did! She communicated with us almost daily so we were assured that everything was being taken of. She is a true professional with a very human touch.
