Jodi was very helpful in finding my first home. She was honest about her opinion of the home and price which was very insightful to me as a first time buyer. She showed me what a good layout would like in my price point and helped me find something that I would be happiest with. She also was very helpful in the negotiation process and helped me get the price down.
Jodi was so easy work with. She took a potentially complicated process and made it as simple and effective as possible. Very pleased with the outcome. We sold our parents' home in record time.
This is our second time purchasing a home with Jodi representing us & I cannot sing her praises enough. Jodi went above and beyond to help us find our forever home (almost 2 yrs of searching) & then busted her butt making sure we got the VERY best out of our negotiations. In spite of an incredibly short due diligence period over the course of 3 major holidays, Jodi managed to get every single possible inspection & quote with plenty of time for us to careful consider our asks. She is a GEM! We joke but it's true - she deserves a room in our new house because she treated it as though it were her own the whole way through!
Jodi is a top notch realtor for both buying and selling. Client centered, patient, wise, knowledgeable, and highly competent. We had a great experience with Jodi and highly recommend her to anyone in the Triangle area considering buying or selling real estate.
Jodi stepped in when our agent quit in the middle of negotiations.
Jodi helped us through the ups and downs of the house hunt, helping us land our dream home with a well-crafted offer. Her network of service provides has been great. We had some wrinkles in the purchase that had to be ironed out, and thankfully everything was figured out.
Jodi is the best! She was our realtor when we bought this house 5+ years earlier. Jodi was in tune with the quickly changing market as we prepared to list our house. She did a FaceTime showing for the out of town folks who ultimately purchased the house. She even had open houses on both weekend days. We highly recommend Jodi Bakst.
Jodi's expertise in everything needed and wanted from working with a realtor--I was selling this time--is nothing less than stellar, and with that comes her empathy and understanding as a person. I have bought and sold two houses in Chapel Hill with Jodi--as a buyer's agent she got me exactly what I wanted, twice, and stuck with me through two long searches. As a seller's agent in both a normal market (7 years ago) and this crazy one (this August) she outlined the strategies needed to get the very best that the market could offer. I was literally floored with the process on my last house, which she planned perfectly: she told me exactly what I needed to do to the house (and what I didn't), timed the listing/showings/tentative offer deadline since we expected at least a few etc. When the activity was even more than expected and we started receiving multiple offers, she revised the timeline and the accepted offer was better than we both could have expected. Real estate experts is a great name, because she is smart and knowledgeable, but it goes beyond that because she understands what each individual needs to get through the process, as a buyer or a seller. Jodi goes above and beyond. For example, she did the research to find me realtors in a different state when I needed to sell my family home and to look for a place for myself. Jodi really is everything you want in a realtor!
Jodi was an amazing advocate for us during the process of searching for and closing on our first home! From our first conversation, we knew that we could trust her and that she would give us honest answers and a solid plan for making competitive offers in this very tough market. We closed on the second house we offered on and we can honestly say that it is the perfect home for us. Jodi always operates with professionalism and a high standard of ethics (which is not the case for every real estate agent). Thank you Jodi for everything that you did to support us through the process of finding and purchasing our dream home!
Jodi exhibited her professionalism from day one and throughout to the end. Her on time responses, either by phone or text and emails are greatly appreciated. Jodi has very pleasant personality and is responsible and serious at the same time. Jodi’s knowledge of the real estate business is broad and she knows the nuts and bolts of the real estate market very well. If I am asked about a professional real estate agent Jodi will be the one that I will recommend. My wife and I were super lucky to have her as our agent. We wish her all the best.
Jodi was highly recommended to us by our friends. Indeed, we find Jodi accessible, ethical, experienced and knowledgeable. She is very trustworthy and provides excellent service.
From our first meeting with Jodi, I was impressed with her knowledge of the market, her assessment of my mother's home, and her practical yet creative vision for how we could best proceed in selling our family home. After my mother's sudden and unpredicted passing, she gave me and my brother space to grieve and helped us explore all of our options. I was so impressed with the result of the recommendations she gave us, and her primary construction contractor, Steve was so trustworthy and made me feel as though our beloved home was in the safest of hands. I am also grateful that we were able to sell to a family that will love and honor our beautiful home for years to come. Overall, I couldn't be more satisfied with our sale, despite it happening during such a challenging and emotional time for our family. I highly recommend Jodi and her firm for any needs you have, either in selling, buying or managing property. She is a truly straight forward and knowledgeable individual with the best of intentions and clearest visions.
