Jodi was a stalwart throughout our home buying journey. Her experience and expertise were essential at every turn, guiding us towards the right house, the right offer, and the right timeline. There were several realtors we communicated with early on that told us what we wanted to hear. Instead, Jodi told us the what we needed to hear, and time after time her predictions became our reality. After crafting an offer on our dream home that was accepted within hours amid a slew of competing bids, Jodi kept things on track right up to closing. Every conflict seemed to resolve in our favor above and beyond our expectations. She fiercely defended our interests as through they were her own. Ultimately, we are thrilled with our home. I am certain it would not be ours had we contracted with anyone else.
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.
This is our second time working with Sherrie and our experience was incredible. She gave us the best advice to get our home prepared to sell and guided us through any needed adjustments after on the market. After finding our dream home, Sherrie led us through the offer process and helped us prioritize any concessions. She is an excellent communicator, extremely compassionate and very accessible. We are in love with our new home and don’t look to sell any time soon, but when we do our first call will be to Sherrie. Any client is lucky to have her as their realtor and we are fortunate to call her a friend.

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 😊.
We had an excellent experience working with Jodi and truly felt protected every step of the way as buyers. She was knowledgeable, thorough and always had our best interests in mind. From explaining contracts in clear terms to making sure inspections, negotiations and deadlines were handled properly, we never felt rushed or pressured. What stood out most was her integrity and attention to detail. Communication was always prompt and honest. We are grateful for Jodi's guidance and protection throughout the entire process. She is also a joy to work with.
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!
As soon as we decided to sell our beloved home, we met with Jodi and it was clear to us that not only was she knowledgeable and an expert in the area market. We found in her a warm, kind, and very responsive person. Although it was hard for us to decide to put our house on the market and we were so emotionally attached to our home, Jodi guided us through the entire process. Selling a home can be overwhelming, but Jodi accompanied us and made the journey smooth. She was always caring and patient and took all the time we needed to go over everything and explain the entire process in detail. Jodi was always available to answer our emails, calls, and texts. Jodi is efficient, knowledgeable, organized, and she makes you feel that she always cares. We could rely on Jodi and we know that she always will have our best interest in mind. Our relationship went beyond just selling our home, it was based on trust and deep care. Jodi always managed to find the best outcome despite the difficulties. We can’t thank Jodi enough for her care, her dedication, and support throughout the entire process and beyond. We highly recommend her for her warm and caring personality, her high standards, and her outstanding professionalism.
