We were so lucky to have found Jodi when we were relocating to Durham! Jodi exemplifies all the traits of a vanishing breed of professional individuals who love what they do. We had a lengthy long distance home search with many twists and turns deciding whether or not to build a home and changing course many times. Jodi was always willing and available to show us properties and always encouraging. We ended up finding an ideal home for us in a perfect location. Jodi navigated what were some difficult dealings and tension filled moments, the end result being that we got the house! Her attention to detail did not end with closing on the property. She is a boundless knowledgeable resource for all home related inquiries. I would not hesitate to use her again if the need arises, or to recommend her to family and friends for the buying or selling of a home.

Jodi went above and beyond negotiating on our behalf with what was most likely the most difficult seller in real estate history. The home we were purchasing had solar panels that had not worked in 2 - 3 years. Jodi used her knowledge of the solar industry to work with vendors to figure out why the system did not work and obtain a credit from the seller to compensate us for the needed repairs. After the closing Jodi has remained in contact with us and provided numerous recommendations for vendors. Her post sale service included a home warranty, which we have used to replace a double oven & exhaust fan at minimal cost to us. We have purchased numerous properties in the last 30 years and I will say Jodi has provided the most post sale support of any agent we've ever used. We would highly recommend her as a buyers agent.

I have known Jodi for several years and have referred her to friends who needed a good Realtor without hesitation. This spring she helped our family with a fairly complicated sale of a rental property and 1031 exchange, and she was outstanding in her attention to detail and follow up. She was even able to find replacement properties with a good rate of return, which other Realtors told me was almost impossible in this market. Jodi is extraordinarily hard working and ethical in her business dealings. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

We worked with Jodi initially months before starting to officially look for a house, as we were moving from out of state. She helped us do an initial overview of Chapel Hill, the neighborhoods, etc. She got to know us and understand what we were looking for. Months later, we started house hunting. She was patient, professional, honest, and was always our advocate. If we had additional questions about a property we had seen, she would follow up, get the information for us. Jodi knows very well the area and her experience made us feel very comfortable navigating the real state market in a new city. She was very helpful and went the extra mile for us. She helped us find the house that we were looking for and even helped us navigate a challenging negotiation. She was always by our side and had was very good at communicating with us. We have had previous experiences buying houses and Jodi is definitely the top tier of real state agents. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy in the Research Triangle area. She was a pleasure to work with!

Jodi was excellent in every way and handling multiple real estate transactions in a very tight market and a complicated situation. She was extremely knowledgeable, very upfront when we asked for her opinion, and highly professional throughout. I really appreciated her willingness to be direct and yet to let us make our own decisions.

My experience was absolutely phenomenal. My parents used Jodi about 15 years ago and loved her, I decided to work with her to purchase my first home and she was amazing. I felt super comfortable, she took lead and asked questions about thinks I had no idea about. She stayed with me throughout the whole process and I found an amazing home. Couldn’t be happier! I recommended her to a friend who ended up buying a house with Jodi within in the month!

Jodi is the best, whether you are buying, selling or both. We wouldn't even consider working with any other realtor. She found a perfect house for us to buy and did an amazing job marketing the one we sold. All while being fun to work with!

Jodi did an excellent job of helping us sell our moms townhouse after she passed. It was a complicated deal with lots of headaches but Jodi was right by our side to help us navigate it all. She remained calm and collected and really went above and beyond to get the deal closed for top dollar. I highly recommend Jodi for both buyers and sellers.

Jodi Bakst is such a class act that it’s hard to know where to begin. First and foremost, we value her trustworthiness and ethics. Purchasing a home involves putting your future in someone else’s hands, so integrity was paramount to us. Jodi’s vast experience in and knowledge of real estate proved essential in navigating this fast-moving housing market. Being newly retired, we were very particular buyers, and Jodi gave us the time we needed to find the perfect home for our specific needs. And, she always put securing the right home for us ahead of closing the deal. Once we did find that home, however, she moved quickly to secure the contract within 24 hours. Jodi is a realtor of great expertise and high standing. She is a strong advocate for her clients and a great resource to newcomers in the area. Our son recommended her to us, and we will recommend her to family and friends. Thank you Jodi! With your help, we landed well!

We are fortunate to have purchased our first home with Jodi, and could not imagine having a better experience. We are so pleased with her work that we have already directed my parents and mother-in-law to her services. Jodi walked us through every step of the home buying process, following through with all the minute details and quickly addressing any potential stressors. We are grateful for the numerous contacts that she provided along the way. Her roots in the community and industry are a wonderful asset, and Jodi is a true real estate expert!

Jodi did a great job getting our house sold

We had a wonderful experience working with Jodi! She told us exactly what we needed to do to get top dollar for our home. She also provided names of people who came into our home and got it ready for sale quickly, expertly, and at a fair price. Her communication skills were excellent so we always knew what was happening. She answered all our questions professionally and directly. We ended up selling our house quickly at exactly the price we wanted in the perfect time-frame. She would be our first choice if we needed a realtor again in the future.
