We have bought, built or sold properties in Chapel Hill and Hillsborough 7 times over the past 16 years, through Jodi Bakst. We had great experience working with Jodi and her team every single time, and Jodi has become a good friend of our family over the years. Most of the transactions occurred when we were living away from Chapel Hill. Jodi would send us listings and would painstakingly preview properties that we thought might work for us. Sometimes she would work with us for years before we found one property we liked. Jodi typically handled the inspection, survey, closing and any other research we tasked her with, and her diligence was always meticulous. Jodi goes over and beyond her call of duty to help her clients both before and after closing. She has recommended to us skilled professionals to carry out repairs or improvements to the property both before and after sale. Jodi maintains good relationship with her clients well after a sale is completed. Since we are frequently away from town, Jodi periodically checks on our house especially after severe weather conditions, and we depend on her to let tradespeople in for maintenance or other work, years after the house was purchased. It is good to have Jodi on your side during the stressful periods of buying or selling your house, as she has her client's best interest at heart. Jodi will always steer you in the right direction and will never put pressure on you.

I can’t say enough good things about Jodi! Her savvy business sense is just what we needed to sell our older fixer upper. We found her to be both knowledgeable and personable. Thank you Jodi!

This house was in a difficult area, and Jodi guided us through changes we made to be competitive. We were very happy that we worked with her. She was professional and responsive in every way. We were especially impressed with her help in finding and guiding people repairing the house, and in the people she recommended to help us present the home, improving a number of areas (garden, interior, virtual staging etc). I would readily recommend Jodi strongly to anyone.

We could not have asked for a better experience than working with Jodi Bakst to sell our house. She gave us excellent advice on preparing it for sale, and doing an advance home inspection to make sure there would be no surprises at closing. She found good comparables and made an excellent recommendation on how to price it, with the result that it sold within four days at a price substantially higher than the listing. And throughout the process, she and her staff were fully on top of all the details and thoroughly professional. All in all, a most positive experience.

Can’t really say enough nice things about Jodi - in short, this is the buying experience we wanted to have and we would work with her again. She is professional, sharp, and punctual - her working in the area for many years became obvious with her knowledge of neighborhoods and market tendencies. She quickly grasped what we were looking for in a home and in seeing >15 homes, we never felt pressured to pull the trigger on one we didn’t “love”. If felt like she had our best interests at heart, and it was fun. She used her eye to help identify features that changed the value of the house, and picked things our we wouldn’t have otherwise noticed. When it came time to review inspection and repair items, she had numerous contacts at her disposal to obtain quotes (within hours) and help us understand repairs that should be immediate vs down-the-road and what they’d cost. We actually thought in the midst of COVID that we might have been her only clients because of how responsive she was to our texts and calls. Never took longer than a few minutes to get a hold of her, or an answer regarding a question on one of the homes. We did place several offers that were not accepted - each time we hadn't taken Jodi's advice. We listened to her the third time and now have our future home :). We have never worked with another real estate agent before but, as above, we would be lucky to work with her again. Thank you Jodi! Verified by RateMyAgent

Jodi is the best! She was incredibly professional, detailed, and driven to help us sell our home quickly and at the best price possible. She listened closely to our needs and also gave per professional opinion when needed. We couldn't have found a better agent. Thank you, Jodi!

Jodi did a fantastic job working with us to find a new home in a really tough market. She gave us great advice and guidance and stayed really engaged through various ups and downs and setbacks. Over the process we grew to really trust and depend on her experience and insight. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the Research Triangle area.

As a first time home buyer it was a blessing to have Jodi as our realtor, she was great giving us different options, negotiating the best deal possible, and even after the closing she still have our back. Thank you Jodi for everything you did for us.

Jodi is an excellent agent. She has the proper balance of being aggressive enough for a buyer and sympathetic to everyone involved.

I have worked with Jodi for several years with several real estate sales and have been very satisfied by the effort she put in to finding me the correct home or help me sell an existing one. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to buy or sell in the Chapel Hill/ Durham area.
