I could not have asked for a greater realtor than Jodi when buying my first house. Jodi was extremely knowledge about the market and provided the best advice that led to my offer being secured, while still looking out for you as a buyer. She’s continued to follow up with me during seller repairs on the house to ensure that everything is being done as outlined in our closing contract. Thank you for everything, Jodi!!
This is the second house that Jodi has helped us sell in Chapel Hill. She is very sharp and professional and I always knew that she would get the deal done! Especially at this crazy time in the market, I felt so confident putting the success of our house sale in Jodi's hands. I especially liked her transparency in helping me set a selling price that was ambitious but achievable. I hope to be able to work with her again on the buy side someday! :)

This was our first home that we’ve purchased and Jodi was so helpful to us in our house search. We visited North Carolina in April trying to understand if we want to move here from California. We reached out to Jodi with a request to show us a house which we found on Zillow. We told her that we are just trying to look around and that we haven’t decided anything yet. Jodi was super helpful and understanding. She suggested to show us some more options so we can understand the market better, so she spent more time with us within the next couple of days providing a lot of useful information. No wonder that when we took a final decision to move to NC in a couple of weeks we reached out to Jodi. The market was crazy and she quickly started showing the listings. She was flexible enough to do the detailed virtual zoom calls and provided us with the honest feedback about any of the properties that we viewed. Since it was our first home search we were really nervous and Jodi gave us a lot of attention and helped to explain how everything worked at every stage of the process. We are so very grateful for Jodi’s help in getting our first home. Thank you, Jodi :)
As our listing agent Jodi Bakst truly partnered with us to ensure we were set up for success before our house even hit the market. She suggested having an inspection done up front, and following this advice put us in a great position as sellers. We benefitted from her knowledge and great connections in the industry, and despite not being at all involved with our new build she showed interest and gave us valuable advice there too. From start to finish she was on top of things and minimized the stress of prepping and selling our house on a very short timeline. She is assertive, results-oriented, accessible, and relatable. Jodi is a rock star at what she does and I highly recommend her.

No substitution for a local highly experienced and connected realtor like Jodi. Negations were moderately challenging and several curve balls came up. Jodi kept her cool and knew exactly what to do each time. She negotiated a fair price and kept the process going smoothly the whole time. I also greatly appreciated her abilities to explain all aspects of the experience and to keep me informed constantly.
All of the elements are there.... Jodi has all of the elements you would look for in a realtor - she is very skilled, professional, knowledgeable, prompt, and a pleasure to work with. Several years ago, she helped us to sell a difficult-to-sell property. She was the third realtor we had hired, and we were several years into the process at that point. She took it on, re-doing all previous marketing work, and sold it, to the exact right folks, who were pleased and excited to have it. She assists with the management of work that needs to be done, and makes the whole process as positive and painless as possible. All this is why we went directly to Jodi when looking to buy a home for our daughter. Again, she handled things expertly. We feel so lucky to know exactly who to call on when a realtor is needed. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

My experience as a first-time home buyer, working with Jodi was AMAZING! I love working with great people on important projects, and I love that I was able to work with Jodi on my personal home purchase! My experience began 3 months ago, and Jodi was able to navigate the current crazy housing market to find the perfect home. She was patient, diligent, listened to what I was looking for, and also made great suggestions. Jodi kept in constant contact and gave prompt detailed information. No matter the time of day or what day of the week it was, she was there. Jodi is not only a highly competent, efficient, professional, and effective real estate agent but she also surrounds herself with the same highly competent and efficient team in all aspects of the real estate process. For example, during the home inspection process, Jodi was there through the entire procedure to give details and took care of all the scheduling, etc. The home inspector (Fred Herndon) chosen by Jodi was very detailed oriented with years of experience and outstanding in the handling of the inspection, with an impressive final report. Jodi also worked very well with the home mortgage group UHM (specifically with Teresa) and made the mortgage process go smoothly, without any unexpected surprises! The house was purchased under what it was appraised for, so I am extremely happy that Jodi was able to negotiate a price that was fair and under the appraised amount. As a result of Jodi excellent work ethic and skills, I have already recommended Jodi to a couple of close friends, and they have recently finalized their paperwork on their new home. I could not have asked for a better first home buying experience. #TeamJodi
Our home sold in a short period of time after it was put on the market. Whatever problems came up Jodi was always around to make sure it was resolved . There was always transparency on Jodi’s behalf. Jodi recommended some minor repair issues that enhanced the house being shown and made a big difference in the appearance of the house being placed on the market and being sold. It was a pleasure dealing with Jodi Bakst.
My husband and I are moving from Wyoming to North Carolina. We bought our house over 2,000 miles away! With many FaceTime calls and text messages, she found us the perfect house! In this competitive market, houses are flying off the market. She was very prompt in scheduling a viewing for us, and dedicating time to make sure the houses were priced accurately. She did not let us deviate from our budget. She is very informative and understood our needs/wants. She didn’t just help us find a house, she helped us find the perfect neighborhood, impeccable commute distance to downtown Durham, and most importantly our next home. Jodi goes over and beyond to fight for your wants, we are forever grateful 🤗
