202 Maywood Way Chapel Hill
I lived in Chapel Hill for 25 years before moving out, so I’m familiar with many of the well-known realtors in the area. Before meeting Jodi, I spoke with another agent to evaluate my home. She was very nice, but she told me that homes in my neighborhood were not selling well and She suggested listing my house at a price similar to another home on my street.However, my house sits on a premium lot, has a very unique layout, and includes many upgrades. Even so, the other realtor still felt we should list at a similar price point. Then I called Jodi. She arrived at my house within an hour carrying a folder full of research she had already prepared. After reviewing my home, she confidently told me she believed we could list it significantly higher than the comparable homes in the neighborhood — but she also explained that proper preparation would be essential before going to market. Jodi worked incredibly hard. She checked on the house almost every day. She designed improvements for the landscaping, coordinated painting for the siding, and guided every detail of the preparation process. At first, I was hesitant to invest in all those improvements because I wasn’t sure I would get the money back, but she was absolutely right. She spent an entire month preparing the house for sale. She arranged a pre-sale inspection and helped address the major issues ahead of time. She hired an excellent photographer, and the listing photos turned out absolutely gorgeous. She used virtual staging upstairs and professional staging downstairs, all while keeping staging costs much lower than we originally expected. Throughout the entire process, she was transparent, hardworking, and extremely dedicated. My house sold in just 5 days with multiple offers, plus sold price is forty thousands above the list price. I truly believe Jodi is exceptional at what she does, and I would highly recommend her to anyone selling a home in Chapel Hill.
939 Crestwood Lane Chapel Hill
Working with Jodi Bakst was an exceptional experience, especially given that I was managing the sale of my parents’ home from across the country. After speaking with several realtors in Chapel Hill and feeling like I had to constantly follow up, finding her was a complete game changer. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, proactive, and organized—even replying promptly while traveling abroad on vacation. Shortly after returning, she took it upon herself to visit the property in person and immediately got things moving. She provided a thoughtful and realistic set of comparable properties, demonstrating a deep understanding of the local market. Our home had an unusual floor plan, but she approached it with confidence and creativity, never once seeming discouraged. I especially appreciated her transparency with potential buyers. She recommended a pre-sale inspection and went the extra mile to coordinate with contractors, gathering bids for any necessary work to ensure the home was ready for market. That level of diligence made a huge difference. Throughout the entire process, I felt informed, supported, and confident that everything was being handled with professionalism and care. If you’re looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Jodi.

We started the "operation" of renovation of the house almost a year ago. The activity was monitored and coordinated by Jodi Bakst very efficient and professional. As we do not live in the USA we could not do it without Jodi. During this period, we needed to take many decisions, Jodi was always available and giving us the right advice. We highly recommend Jodi as a real estate agent!!
