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.

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.

Landy is an ABSOLUTE ROCKSTAR! She went ALL OUT to make sure we found our dream home! Her dedication, expertise, and genuine care for her clients are unmatched. Never off the clock, always responsive, and didn't stop until we had the keys in our hands and HUGE smiles on our faces! Working with Landy felt like a VIP experience – she listened, she communicated effectively, she handled every bump in the road with ease and got us to a lender with excellent rates to beat out our builders lender by farr. If you're thinking of buying or selling, Landy is THE ONE! 🌟 10/10 would recommend, would hire again in a heartbeat but she knows I'm not moving cause I love my house! Seriously, she's the real deal – don't hesitate to work with her 😊.

Amber will be by your side and share her expertise from start to closing! She’s not just a professional working in the market, she really cares about the community, too, which means a lot when there are so may realtors to chose from in the Triangle.

Juan’s knowledge and responsive communication ensured that our home-buying process was informed, personalized, and relaxed. We had a tremendously positive experience thanks to his guidance and advocacy, and we highly recommend him as a trusted partner.

We worked with Jodi for almost a full year to find our home, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. From day one, she was incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right place. She really took the time to understand what we wanted (and what we didn’t!), and she never made us feel rushed or pressured to make a decision before we were ready. Throughout the process, Jodi was always accommodating and flexible with our schedules. She was quick to respond to any questions we had (big or small) and explained everything in a way that made the process so much less stressful. We could tell she really knows the market and used her experience to help us think through things we might not have even considered on our own. Once we finally found our home, Jodi went above and beyond to help with everything that came next. She made the offer and closing process so smooth and kept us organized every step of the way. Even after closing, she was incredibly helpful in connecting us with trusted contractors and resources to get our new home set up and ready. What stood out most was how genuine she is. It never felt like a transaction, but rather it felt like working with a friend who truly cared about finding the perfect fit for us. We always felt supported and confident knowing she was looking out for our best interests. Jodi truly is someone who is patient, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping buyers find their perfect home. We’re so grateful for all her help and can’t imagine having gone through this process with anyone else!

Jodi is both flexible and organized. She guided us through the sales process including identifying trusted contractors and explaining how to best get our home ready for sale. She knows the local market and agents extremely well. She was always willing to jump in and solve the issues that emerged. We will work with Jodi again and highly recommend her.

Jodi is truly an amazing agent with a very thoughtful systematic approach. She is super responsive, on top and on time with showings. Her follow ons with elaborate comps and thoroughness with the offer process speaks to her deep experiences. Her honest assessments always help irrespective of what stage you are in the buying process. Her deep roots to the area are very helpful from due diligence to repairs through closing.

We are moving to the area from out of state, and as first time home buyers we needed a lot of direction. Maya was super friendly, drove us around to view houses when we visited, and checked out several places for us when we couldn't be there in person. I'm sure we weren't the lowest maintenance clients but Maya was always prompt to respond and moved quickly to get info on any place we were interested in. It seemed like she understood what we were looking for and was able to make super useful suggestions and observations based on what we actually wanted and cared about. Excellent experience in a scary fast market.
