Jodi and her team did a great job with marketing our property and providing vendors to do timely improvements to the home before putting it on the market. We ended up spending about four times more money on updates than we had anticipated and many hours of personal hands-on time but the work resulted in a full price offer within days of going on the market. Jodi and her team saw through every detail in responding to the offer through closing.
Seller of 101 Stoneridge Drive, Chapel Hill
Jodi lit a fire under us. We appreciated that she was businesslike from the beginning. In our first meeting she clearly outlined her role and legal responsibilities, possible conflicts of interest, etc. She sized up the condition of the house, prioritized a task list and put us in touch with contractors she trusted. Her knowledge of the Chapel Hill housing market is excellent. She was firm but flexible and guided us smoothly to a high offer two days after the house was listed.
Seller of 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.

Seller of 117 Cole Street, Chapel Hill
I’ve worked with a good handful of realtors in my life, and I must say that Mouse made things the most blissfully easy and pleasant I’ve ever experienced. He’s truly a ‘people person’, friendly and funny, and I will miss looking at houses with him. His knowledge of the workings of houses was far superior to anything I’ve experienced; and he had no problem rolling up his sleeves and doing extra dirty work like crawling under houses to look at things there which could be an issue. He’s highly proactive, and made sure to check in with me regularly. He was always available for a call if I had a question, and responded immediately to texts, both of which are rare. He understood from the beginning what my likes and dislikes were, as well as my communication preferences, and made sure to address/follow them with every house we looked at. Unlike other realtors who were just trying to sell a house, he really wanted to help me find my perfect house, and would honestly point out any possible deal breakers when he found them, so we could quickly move on to the next house (he did not waste my time, which I very much appreciate). In addition to this, he has NUMEROUS connections around this area, having grown up here, and made sure to find the most reasonable prices for the best estimates, inspections , etc. Even after closing last September, he’s still sending me useful information and reminders and checking in with me to make sure my new journey is successful. I’m so glad I trusted him, and if ever I need to look for another house, he will be my go to person! I’m a bit sad that I can only give 5 stars. Thank you, Mouse! If I were your boss, I would give you a huge raise.
Seller of 1030 Philpott Dr, Chapel Hill
I recommend Mouse and Gloria in the strongest terms after they helped us buy our home this year. Their style is casual and low-stress, but when it comes time to get the job done these two are on top of it! Banks, lawyers, inspectors—they knock down any obstacles! They know the area so well, I never doubted that we were getting all the info we needed. They really go the extra mile to help put your mind at ease during a transition that can often seem overwhelming. These two are great professionals who deeply understand the ’vibe’ of the communities around here. They are the perfect point of introduction to the area. We absolutely love our new home and I am thrilled with the amazing work Mouse and Gloria did to get this for us.
Buyer of 168 Lake Ellen Drive, Chapel Hill
Mouse and Gloria Mock offer a one-two punch for your house search. We hired them after reviewing all the realtors in the Chapel Hill area, noticing that Mouse used to own one of our favorite hang out spots in the area, The Cave. We felt there might be a good connection there and we were not wrong. Mouse and Gloria made themselves constantly available, understood what we wanted and what we were looking for, went to every house to look for us that we requested and more. We live outside of Chapel Hill and had been looking for years for a house. Mouse and Gloria helped us find a house within 6 months. Mouse went to homes and offered us Facetime walk throughs. They met with us for a day of house viewing when we chose to travel to Chapel Hill. They were always kind, responsive, respectful and really got the job done for us. We highly recommend this dynamic duo.

Lillian was great to work with, both in finding our new home and selling our old one. She understood our needs, helped us find a home we loved, and worked to get us the best deal. And she worked to market our old house and get us a great offer when it sold.
