Jodi is very knowledgeable, professional, and an outstanding person who truly cares. After having worked with a few realtors during several months of unsuccessful attempts to buy a home in a very competitive market, Jodi helped me buy the home of my dreams very quickly and effortlessly. She knows what it takes to get the deal done, is an awesome communicator, and has tons of connections and great referrals for everything house related. Always readily available and eager to help, she was patient, immediately responsive, and never left any of my questions unanswered. I will forever be grateful to the kind and genuine professional that Jodi is. I highly recommend working with Jodi!!

Jodi is the queen! We were first time home buying during a pandemic, from a different state, in a wild market. Jodi busted her butt showing us so many houses via video call, was always accessible to answer questions, gave amazing and honest input when needed (but also knew when there was no right answer and let us decide for ourselves), and fought so well for us! We could not have had a better experience, especially under such wild conditions. We are so grateful, and would work with her again in a second!

When we were looking for our forever home, we had very specific ideas in mind. Jodi listened well, and carefully waited for the right house, patiently showing us several houses over a period of months. She knew what was important to us and helped us ultimately find a house we love.

I have worked with Jodi now on two home purchases and one sale. She has always worked hard to advocate for me, through some pretty strange ups and downs. When I bought a flipped house, she worked hard to make sure that any shortcuts were caught in inspection and fixed by the flipper. And when my buyer backed out of my home sale, she turned on a dime to help us relist and provided great advice and reassurance throughout the entire selling process. I would highly recommend Jodi!

I have worked with Jodi now on two home purchases and this sale. She has always worked hard to advocate for me, and this time was no exception. She provided great counsel in advising what I should do to prep the home and stage it for listing, sound price comps, and amazing last-minute support when our first buyer backed out of the sale for personal reasons. Everything went smoothly (all things considered) and I always knew I could trust Jodi with any question or request.

Jodi regularly provided a range of homes to review, was prompt in scheduling showings, and had helpful feedback about pricing and neighborhoods. Once we were under contract, she was remarkably thorough at keeping the process moving, coordinating with our lender, and ensuring that repairs from the inspection contingency were attended to. I was very impressed by her conscientiousness and recommend her strongly as a buyer's agent!

Most professional and insightful realtor I’ve ever worked with I actually began working with Jodi about three years prior to selling our house. She provided an assessment of my home following A failed attempt to sell the property during a divorce. She recommended changes and improvements we could make in advance of attempting a resale of the property. Once we decided to put the house on the market again she provided additional up-to-date insights on fire trends and how to price and position the home. After our home was on the market for about 60 days she recommended minor adjustments to the Marketing and the pricing of our home which ultimately resulted in a successful sale. She is a realtor with savvy business chops. I recommend Jodi without hesitation.

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.
