Jodi has always been very friendly and full of advice on what to do next, how to do it, and where to go to get it done. She has walked me through both buying a house in Chapel Hill, and then 20 years later selling that same house. I felt I was well informed, and I was doing the right next thing in the process of the real estate deal.
I would recommend Jodi Bakst to anyone needing a real estate agent. She cares: Jodi spent a year helping my family find our home. She was faithful to our search and adaptive to the changes in our moving strategy, and never made us feel pressured. It was clear she wanted to find the right home for our family, not just find us a house. She is knowledgeable: As someone moving from out-of-state, the time I spent scouting the Chapel Hill area with Jodi could have only been possible with someone who is deeply familiar with the area. She was able to adapt our home search on the spot and within our time constraints, giving me not only important information about my new hometown, but the best options for family's home search. She is incredibly competent: Throughout the search for, negotiation, inspection, and closing of our home, Jodi provided sound insight and advocacy. We trusted her advice and trusted that she was looking out for our best interest. She asked the questions that we needed to ask and had great referrals for brokers, home inspectors, etc. She did an amazing job of communicating throughout the entire process. Jodi is professional, friendly, and "on-the-ball". We are very thankful to have worked with her.
Jodi Bakst was recommended to me by two of my former neighbors that had used her to sell their houses. Jodi came prepared with all of her research for pricing and got my house on the market in less than a week. Jodi was always very prompt to respond to all my questions and communications. In the end the house sold at the full listing price in a few weeks. I would use Jodi again and recommend her to my family and friends.
This was my first experience buying a home, and I definitely had lots of questions along the way. I have a busy travel schedule for work, and Jodi was able to be available for me when needed despite large time differences. She made stuff happen--and quickly! And I trusted her immediately. I never felt the need to reach out to other agents once I spoke with her and we had a conversation. I appreciate her hard work, experience, and knowledge!
Working with Jodi was great from the very first time we met, throughout subsequent meetings, in contract negotiations and finally up to closing and delivery of the check. Jodi made the process as pleasant and painless as the selling of your home of 30 years could ever be. We would have no hesitations in using her again or recommending her to family or friends.
Jodi was great. Even when we had different ideas about aspects of the process we worked through them clearly and without any drama. And since I was out of state, she did a ton of leg work rounding up various contractors and quotes for repairs. Would recommend her to anyone.
Great attention to detail and persistence!!
Jodi was an exceptional agent. She helped us prepare the property for the sale and came up with the perfect list price. We received two offers within 24 hours of going on the market! She was available throughout the negotiation process. We are grateful for her hard work and expertise and will definitely contact her if we need a realtor in the future!
Jodi provided a total package from :1) listening to our requirements, 2) assessing the initial condition of the property, 3) with her personal experienced contractors supervised the required repairs, 4) designed the improvements made to the property, 5) effortlessly dealt with contract negotiations, always keeping our personal interest at heart, and 6) finally closed the contract. We highly recommend her.
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.
Our agent, Jodi Bakst, was an advocate for our interests every step of the way. She listened to and understood the needs and hopes we articulated for the kind of house and property we wanted, and worked diligently to make them a reality. Always accessible and happy to hear from us, she presented us with great options, offered expert input, and helped us talk through our decisions. When the time came to make an offer, she kept us informed throughout the process while capably handling all the details and complexities to negotiate an equitable sale. It was a pleasure to work with her, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome!
Jodi is an amazing negotiator; I'd say that was her strongest skill for us - and our most needed. She fought hard to get us the best deal possible, both in the initial negotiations and after our inspection turned up several things that needed to be fixed before closing. She was a strong advocate for us in a tough sales process.
