    This is our second time purchasing a home with Jodi representing us & I cannot sing her praises enough. Jodi went above and beyond to help us find our forever home (almost 2 yrs of searching) & then busted her butt making sure we got the VERY best out of our negotiations. In spite of an incredibly short due diligence period over the course of 3 major holidays, Jodi managed to get every single possible inspection & quote with plenty of time for us to careful consider our asks. She is a GEM! We joke but it's true - she deserves a room in our new house because she treated it as though it were her own the whole way through!

    Jodi was an exceptional agent. She helped us prepare the property for the sale and came up with the perfect list price. We received two offers within 24 hours of going on the market! She was available throughout the negotiation process. We are grateful for her hard work and expertise and will definitely contact her if we need a realtor in the future!

    Jodi helped me in my search for a townhouse in Chapel Hill. After we did not find any listed properties to my liking, Jodi contacted owners of properties not yet listed or on the market, but in which she learnt I may have an interest,I ended up purchasing such an off-market property, and it would not have happened without Jodi's considerable efforts and persistence. After contacting the property owner, Jodi quickly established a great working relationship with the Seller and negotiated a tough but fair purchase contract on my behalf.Her strong organizational and management skills guided the contract through due diligence and required repairs. Jodi also went above and beyond by scheduling and coordinating the repairs, painting, cleaning, etc. that made the house ready for my move in.I have dealt with a few agents over the years, but I can say without hesitation Jodi provided the best service and guidance. It was my pleasure working with Jodi on my recent purchase, and I will certainly recommend her to any buyers/sellers who are in need of an agent. She is simply the best!

    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.

    Jodi did a fantastic job working with us to find a new home in a really tough market. She gave us great advice and guidance and stayed really engaged through various ups and downs and setbacks. Over the process we grew to really trust and depend on her experience and insight. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the Research Triangle area.

    Jodi jumped in and help complete our home sale after the original agent quit on us during the negotiations! Jodi got detailed information about where we were in the process and she guided us through the remainder of the time. Highly professional and knowledgeable. I'd give 10 stars!

    Our agent, Jodi Bakst, was an advocate for our interests every step of the way. She listened to and understood the needs and hopes we articulated for the kind of house and property we wanted, and worked diligently to make them a reality. Always accessible and happy to hear from us, she presented us with great options, offered expert input, and helped us talk through our decisions. When the time came to make an offer, she kept us informed throughout the process while capably handling all the details and complexities to negotiate an equitable sale. It was a pleasure to work with her, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome!

    We could not have asked for a better experience than working with Jodi Bakst to sell our house. She gave us excellent advice on preparing it for sale, and doing an advance home inspection to make sure there would be no surprises at closing. She found good comparables and made an excellent recommendation on how to price it, with the result that it sold within four days at a price substantially higher than the listing. And throughout the process, she and her staff were fully on top of all the details and thoroughly professional. All in all, a most positive experience.

    Can’t really say enough nice things about Jodi - in short, this is the buying experience we wanted to have and we would work with her again. She is professional, sharp, and punctual - her working in the area for many years became obvious with her knowledge of neighborhoods and market tendencies. She quickly grasped what we were looking for in a home and in seeing >15 homes, we never felt pressured to pull the trigger on one we didn’t “love”. If felt like she had our best interests at heart, and it was fun. She used her eye to help identify features that changed the value of the house, and picked things our we wouldn’t have otherwise noticed. When it came time to review inspection and repair items, she had numerous contacts at her disposal to obtain quotes (within hours) and help us understand repairs that should be immediate vs down-the-road and what they’d cost. We actually thought in the midst of COVID that we might have been her only clients because of how responsive she was to our texts and calls. Never took longer than a few minutes to get a hold of her, or an answer regarding a question on one of the homes. We did place several offers that were not accepted - each time we hadn't taken Jodi's advice. We listened to her the third time and now have our future home :).We have never worked with another real estate agent before but, as above, we would be lucky to work with her again. Thank you Jodi!
