What clients say

“Seasoned, professional and informative”

“Great guide thorough a stressful process. 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.”

“The Best Realtor in the Triangle!! Jodi helped us find the perfect home. Finding the home was the easy part. Jodi worked with us and the seller’s realtor to negotiate and price below the asking price. Additionally, she worked the inspector to determine uncover several issues that needed to be addressed. One area where Jodi separates herself from other realtors is in the quality of the contractors she uses. Every one is professional and delivers high quality results from painters, to general contractors to irrigation specialists. The entire process went smoothly. We felt very confident that our interests were well taken care of as Jodi took us through the entire home buying process.”

“Jodi is the Best listing agent in 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.”

“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.”

“Excellent experience with an excellent professional . 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!!”

“We had an excellent experience with Jodi as our realtor and truly felt protected every step of the way as buyers. She is knowledgeable, professional, thorough, and always had our best interest in mind. What stood out most was her integrity and attention to detail. She works hard for you. Communication was prompt and honest and we always felt informed and confident in our decisions. If you are looking for a friendly, professional, trustworthy realtor that genuinely advocates for her clients, pick Jodi. We are glad that we did. We are so grateful for her guidance and protection throughout the entire home-buying process.”

“Lynn Made Buying My First Home So Easy Lynn was incredible to work with. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot to learn, and she guided me through every step with patience and clarity. She helped me understand the down payment assistance programs and made what could have been an overwhelming process feel totally manageable. One of the things I appreciated most was how well-connected she is. Every person she recommended—from the inspector to the attorney—was professional, communicative, and genuinely pleasant to work with. It made the whole experience feel smooth and coordinated. Lynn is genuine, organized, and deeply committed to her clients. She listened carefully to what I was looking for and always had my best interests at heart. Thanks to her, I ended up in a home that feels like the perfect fit. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“5 stars just isn’t enough… Between being out of state buyers, and not all to familiar with the area, we really needed a realtor we could rely on and trust to guide us with her expertise that would help us with making this significant decision. Lynn listened to what we were wanting and we have many demands on location and characteristics of the home and neighborhood. We also have little kids so we had high priority about that too. I ahad specific's upon specifics! I may have been the most needy client ever, but talking with Lynn, we never felt that way. She truly was invested and gave us sound ideas and advice. Lynn is organized and paid attention to details. She is keen and is a wealth of knowledge. She went in crawlspaces, she was inspecting the bones and pointed out potential concerns we should be aware of and also highlighted the positives- I learned from her evaluations which is an added bonus. Speaking of which, one first trip up we had our kids. She made them a little “day trip in car” assortment which was so thoughtfully crafted. Healthy snacks, a journal and drawing/ coloring supplies. Lynn is also well connected to all the right people. She had trusted vendors that have come through for us and worked out very well. Lynn Nilssen is a go-getter. I swear, she woke up each morning and thought, “How can I help that family ever more?” On our 2nd (and last) trip there, one day when we looked a flurry of listing within our short trip up and we needed to charge our rental car, so she offered for us to use her home charger. She didn't have to do that! I hope she knows how appreciative our family is to have had our realtor be Lynn Nilssen. She handled every detail and was “on top of it”. She’s simply the best I’ve ever worked with.Over and beyond. So much so that I recommended my beloved in-laws to go with Lynn so I knew they were in the most capable hands. Oh, did I mention we got 99% of what we required at the price point we were hoping??? Lynn Nilssen and her team get 5+++ shiny gold stars!”

“Great Experience from Beginning to End! We had the good fortune of working with Lynn thanks to our children who had just recently purchased a home with Lynn's guidance. As we were moving from another state, Lynn gave us insights and information about the market that we needed to help us with our decision. Lynn is very focused on detail and research. If we had a question, Lynn found the answer. We confidently relied on her professionalism and her commitment to helping us find the perfect place!”

“Jodi Bakst is the best real estate agent in this region BY FAR. I have worked with Jodi many times, and I have referred many clients. She is worth her weight in gold; she is trustworthy, competent, honest, hard working, and friendly. I wish Jodi could be cloned in this industry!”

“The steady hand of a true professional. We were impressed with Jodi on the buying side several years ago and had little doubt when it came time to sell that she would be a powerful ally who could take us to through the selling process confidently and competently. That didn't do justice to how it went. Without a doubt her instincts on updates, pre-inspections, thoughtful repairs through her network of contractors, and highlighting unique and powerful aspects of the house we had lived in for 25 years led to a speedy sale during one of the more challenging times of the year in a slowing market. When we were getting overwhelmed with details, moving, and dealing with a sudden family loss, Jodi eagerly stepped in to keep work to prepare the old house for sale going when we had to step away. Instead of turning her limited time to other properties, she unhesitatingly offered to make calls, meet contractors and push forward to keep the plan on time and get the listing started as early as possible. Once on the market, she smoothed our fears and frustrations on silent showings and chased feedback from other agents so we could keep learning and adjusting to help the house find a new owner to, perhaps, take it forward the next 25 years. We didn't know what to expect or how to experience each showing that didn't result in an offer, but with Jodi's guidance, we stayed optimistic until one day the right buyer fell in love (deeply, we hope) with the transformed house. When you have to close a chapter in your life and realize you can no longer live in a house that carried you through 25 rewarding and sometimes rough years, having a guide and ally to steer the path is priceless. Jodi was that ally for us and we are confident she brings this same dedication to every client.”

“We knew nothing about the area. Thank God for Lynn Nilssen! How do you describe a professional, diligent, hard-working, ever-present, reliable, knowledgeable, trustworthy person who goes above and beyond in two words? Lynn Nilssen!”

“Jodi Bakst: Incredible Professionalism & Unmatched Market Insight. As the Buyer of a home in South Durham,NC, I cannot recommend Jodi Bakst highly enough. She was absolutely excellent throughout the entire process! Jodi's market knowledge is truly unparalleled. Her insights were invaluable in understanding the neighborhood and making a competitive offer. Her communication was consistently sharp and objective, keeping me informed and focused without any unnecessary fluff. Most impressively, her professionalism was incredible; she was always prepared and responsive. Jodi went above and beyond. She didn't just secure the house; she ensured a smooth transition into owning it. Her kind guidance has helped me get settled in my new home. Her negotiation skills were masterful as she advocated for my needs regarding inspection requests and terms, and yet did so in a reasonable and approachable way that kept the seller genuinely happy. Jodi understood how to create solutions that worked for both sides, turning a potentially stressful process into a true win-win. Thanks to Jodi's expertise and dedication, navigating my home purchase in a smooth and more successful way than I could have hoped for.”

“Jodi is a stellar agent very familiar and well connected with the area . 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.”

“Rare combo of expertise , hard work, and kindness! Jodi is an excellent communicator and knows the Chapel Hill and surrounding area market extremely well. She has always been professional and kind and helpful. She always goes above and beyond , and knows to focus on the big picture. She knows the right people to help you get things done before the house goes on the market and she knows how to prioritize tasks . I was impressed with her ability to see what needed to be done. She advised us very well and her advertising methods, photography , are at the forefront of what’s needed today to get the sale done. She’s highly recommended and this is not the first real estate transaction she’s done with us , so it’s a testament to her excellence that we specifically sought her out again !”

“Jodi was a great partner in selling my home. I met her through the buying process, where she represented the seller (as I was buying). She was firm and fair from a buyer perspective and advocated incredibly for her client. When it was time for me to move out of state and sell my home, she was just as big of an advocate for me as she'd been when I was on the other side of the table. She's extremely professional and took her time to make sure I was comfortable with every stage of the process as a first time seller. Thanks Jodi!”

“Jodi Bakst is a terrific, detail oriented, caring and conscientious broker. Jodi took care of every detail, followed up with surveyors, inspections, work which needed to be done, and did it all under sometimes trying conditions - all with good humor and thoughtfulness. She gave us a sense of security and peace of mind that all would run smoothly...and it did! She communicated with us almost daily so we were assured that everything was being taken of. She is a true professional with a very human touch.”

“Jodi’s knowledge counsel and diligence was incredibly helpful in our recent home purchase. She is possibly the best agent we have ever used.”

“Jodi is awesome. We sent her 3-4 listings we liked and she pulled a bunch more we didn’t even see. She helped us find the perfect home for us.”

“Great Agent! We met Lynn recently while looking for a home in the Chapel Hill area; she was really great - responsive, helpful, and patient. We spent days looking at multiple listings, and she was always prepared and kept us from getting discouraged. Our family was very pleased with her professionalism and diligence. Thanks, Lynn!”

“We have rarely worked with someone so approachable yet professional, caring and competent… our largest concerns ( inspections, selling price etc) were met but so were small yet worrisome issues…the sorts of things that keep sellers up at night like messy paint jobs and trash cans and lights left on or alarms left off…Jodi handled them all with calm, with humor and with speed. Jodi was very knowlegable about market conditions and appraisal valuations which proved extremely useful in the current environment.”

“Lynn is the very best! I needed a realtor who could act fast and do all of the work necessary to ensure my bid to buy a property succeeded. Lynn is incredible. From our very first conversation when she asked me all of the right questions, I knew I could trust her and that she would be pro-active in not just getting the information I needed, but most importantly figuring out the best way to structure my offer. She is intelligent, caring, and energetic. In every aspect of the process, she went above and beyond and easily met our tight deadlines. The very day that I first spoke to her, she called several people for additional information about the property, and then went to the property to video it for me as I was out of town. She then gave me great advice as to when and how I should submit an offer. By that weekend, she closed the deal very successfully. My husband and I highly, highly recommend Lynn!”

“We were out of town sellers and Jodi and her team were very helpful identifying and getting done for us all of the tasks and improvements required for sale of an older home in this market environment. And we sold for well over the asking price - thank you!”

“Professionalism, Passion, Integrity, Effectiveness, Patience and Kindness. We were so lucky to have found Jodi when we were relocating to Durham! Jodi exemplifies all the traits of a vanishing breed of professional individuals who love what they do. We had a lengthy long distance home search with many twists and turns deciding whether or not to build a home and changing course many times. Jodi was always willing and available to show us properties and always encouraging. We ended up finding an ideal home for us in a perfect location. Jodi navigated what were some difficult dealings and tension filled moments, the end result being that we got the house! Her attention to detail did not end with closing on the property. She is a boundless knowledgeable resource for all home related inquiries. I would not hesitate to use her again if the need arises, or to recommend her to family and friends for the buying or selling of a home.”

“Great Service Before and After the Sale. Jodi went above and beyond negotiating on our behalf with what was most likely the most difficult seller in real estate history. The home we were purchasing had solar panels that had not worked in 2 - 3 years. Jodi used her knowledge of the solar industry to work with vendors to figure out why the system did not work and obtain a credit from the seller to compensate us for the needed repairs. After the closing Jodi has remained in contact with us and provided numerous recommendations for vendors. Her post sale service included a home warranty, which we have used to replace a double oven & exhaust fan at minimal cost to us. We have purchased numerous properties in the last 30 years and I will say Jodi has provided the most post sale support of any agent we've ever used. We would highly recommend her as a buyers agent.”

“Only 5 stars or I would have given her a 6. I have known Jodi for several years and have referred her to friends who needed a good Realtor without hesitation. This spring she helped our family with a fairly complicated sale of a rental property and 1031 exchange, and she was outstanding in her attention to detail and follow up. She was even able to find replacement properties with a good rate of return, which other Realtors told me was almost impossible in this market. Jodi is extraordinarily hard working and ethical in her business dealings. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Jodi is the BEST! We worked with Jodi initially months before starting to officially look for a house, as we were moving from out of state. She helped us do an initial overview of Chapel Hill, the neighborhoods, etc. She got to know us and understand what we were looking for. Months later, we started house hunting. She was patient, professional, honest, and was always our advocate. If we had additional questions about a property we had seen, she would follow up, get the information for us. Jodi knows very well the area and her experience made us feel very comfortable navigating the real state market in a new city. She was very helpful and went the extra mile for us. She helped us find the house that we were looking for and even helped us navigate a challenging negotiation. She was always by our side and had was very good at communicating with us. We have had previous experiences buying houses and Jodi is definitely the top tier of real state agents. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy in the Research Triangle area. She was a pleasure to work with!”

“Couldn't have been better. Jodi is the best, whether you are buying, selling or both. We wouldn't even consider working with any other realtor. She found a perfect house for us to buy and did an amazing job marketing the one we sold. All while being fun to work with!”

“Thorough and easy to work with. Jodi did an excellent job of helping us sell our moms townhouse after she passed. It was a complicated deal with lots of headaches but Jodi was right by our side to help us navigate it all. She remained calm and collected and really went above and beyond to get the deal closed for top dollar. I highly recommend Jodi for both buyers and sellers.”

“Extremely professional and knowledgeable! Such a pleasure to work with. Exceeds expectations at every opportunity!”

“Wonderful experience as first time home buyers. We are fortunate to have purchased our first home with Jodi, and could not imagine having a better experience. We are so pleased with her work that we have already directed my parents and mother-in-law to her services. Jodi walked us through every step of the home buying process, following through with all the minute details and quickly addressing any potential stressors. We are grateful for the numerous contacts that she provided along the way. Her roots in the community and industry are a wonderful asset, and Jodi is a true real estate expert!”

“Great͏ Experience Jodi was very helpful in finding my first home. She was honest about her opinion of the home and price which was very insightful to me as a first time buyer. She showed me what a good layout would like in my price point and helped me find something that I would be happiest with. She also was very helpful in the negotiation process and helped me get the price down.”

“Professional,͏ competent and pleasant all around I was delighted to have Mouse available to handle the sale of the Weathersfield house. I was living abroad in Ireland, which made things more complicated, but Mouse was fully competent to manage the transaction. He was prompt and reliable, giving useful information and advice at every step of the way. He is equally good at dealing with the subtleties of real estate law and the delicacies of managing buyers and sellers. That is, he knows the market and knows people and is good at both. Buying or selling a home can be a nerve-wracking business for people on the outside. But having Mouse on the case made everything go smoothly. Service was excellent and the sale was both timely and fully satisfactory financially. If a sixth star were available for truly exceptional performance, I would be proud to award it to him.”

“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 is a top notch realtor for both buying and selling. Client centered, patient, wise, knowledgeable, and highly competent. We had a great experience with Jodi and highly recommend her to anyone in the Triangle area considering buying or selling real estate.”

“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!”

“Professional, Responsive, Courteous, Engaging, Knowledgeable, Unbiased! We reached out to Jodi after finding her company via an online search for help with real estate questions. Jodi provided very sound advice and professional advice regarding a real estate transaction we, as the sellers, wanted to cancel. Thank you Jodi for your knowledge and guidance. Without your suggestions, we would have gone through with a sale we were not comfortable with completing. You are amazing! Kendra & Chuck Deep Gap”

“Jodi͏ Bakst is everything you want in a real estate professional. Jodi's expertise in everything needed and wanted from working with a realtor--I was selling this time--is nothing less than stellar, and with that comes her empathy and understanding as a person. I have bought and sold two houses in Chapel Hill with Jodi--as a buyer's agent she got me exactly what I wanted, twice, and stuck with me through two long searches. As a seller's agent in both a normal market (7 years ago) and this crazy one (this August) she outlined the strategies needed to get the very best that the market could offer. I was literally floored with the process on my last house, which she planned perfectly: she told me exactly what I needed to do to the house (and what I didn't), timed the listing/showings/tentative offer deadline since we expected at least a few etc. When the activity was even more than expected and we started receiving multiple offers, she revised the timeline and the accepted offer was better than we both could have expected. Real estate experts is a great name, because she is smart and knowledgeable, but it goes beyond that because she understands what each individual needs to get through the process, as a buyer or a seller. Jodi goes above and beyond. For example, she did the research to find me realtors in a different state when I needed to sell my family home and to look for a place for myself. Jodi really is everything you want in a realtor!”

“Helped͏ us become first time homeowners in a very tough market! Jodi was an amazing advocate for us during the process of searching for and closing on our first home! From our first conversation, we knew that we could trust her and that she would give us honest answers and a solid plan for making competitive offers in this very tough market. We closed on the second house we offered on and we can honestly say that it is the perfect home for us. Jodi always operates with professionalism and a high standard of ethics (which is not the case for every real estate agent). Thank you Jodi for everything that you did to support us through the process of finding and purchasing our dream home!”

“Excellent͏ guidance tailored to our families needs and expectations. From͏ our first meeting with Jodi, I was impressed with her knowledge of the market, her assessment of my mother's home, and her practical yet creative vision for how we could best proceed in selling our family home. After my mother's sudden and unpredicted passing, she gave me and my brother space to grieve and helped us explore all of our options. I was so impressed with the result of the recommendations she gave us, and her primary construction contractor, Steve was so trustworthy and made me feel as though our beloved home was in the safest of hands. I am also grateful that we were able to sell to a family that will love and honor our beautiful home for years to come. Overall, I couldn't be more satisfied with our sale, despite it happening during such a challenging and emotional time for our family. I highly recommend Jodi and her firm for any needs you have, either in selling, buying or managing property. She is a truly straight forward and knowledgeable individual with the best of intentions and clearest visions.”

“I͏ purchased my first home with Jodi 12 years ago. I liked the experience so chose to work with her again in selling the first home this year. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and quick at communication. She knows the market very well and has great local resources. So she will give you right advice to make the property stand out in the market.”

“The Consummate Professional - Jodi is the definition of a real estate pro. Some agents seem to approach real estate like a hobby even when it is their full time job. That’s the opposite of Jodi. From the first discussion regarding listing our house through the invaluable pre-listing preparation she guided, to the review of multiple offers and the post-contract steps through closing, Jodi brought expertise, insight, and professionalism throughout. She’s always happy to offer her educated point-of-view while also making clear that you remain in charge as the home seller. We couldn’t have asked for a more seamless and successful home selling experience, and Jodi deserves a lot of credit for that. If you want a pro, work with Jodi.”

“Working with Jodi has been a pleasure. It was unbelievably easeful. At some points we were baffled we were even under contract, because it was so simple and streamlined. We highly recommend Jodi and Real Estate Experts.”

“It was Jodi's knowledge of the market, great advice about renovations, and strategic marketing that allowed us to sell our home in one weekend at well over asking price. Jodi was always available to us, even while taking a well-deserved vacation in Europe! Although I don't want to buy or sell a home for awhile :), I look forward to working with Jodi again the next time I do.”

“Jodi was our buyer's agent during a recent long-distance move. We were able to visit briefly and meet Jodi at the start of the search, when she made an effort to show us different property, neighborhood, and location types to get to know what we were looking for and also to help us get to know the area. She helped us through several virtual showings over the summer and we appreciated how forthcoming she was in her opinions about different aspects of each home. She helped us through several offers in this summer's difficult housing market, and finally closing on an ideal home last month. Jodi was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the inspection process. We were a little apprehensive about moving in sight unseen, but love the property just as much as we thought we would! We would recommend Jodi to anyone in our situation, and would use her if we move again (though we doubt we'll want to leave our house!).”

“Wouldn't want to work with anyone else! Jodi is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and has great integrity. Throughout our work together she has been honest, realistic, and supportive. We feel lucky to be working with her.”

“Never before have I had a service that so exceeded my expectations! As a person that has had some experience in life I’ve understandably bought services of all types, real estate services among them. You will obviously like the services most, that meet or exceed your expectations of that service. The way Jodi Bakst helped us find a house in Chapel Hill and finish all the paperwork needed for financing and closing on the house, so exceeded my expectations that I was frankly astounded. Jodi did a fantastic job of setting up a customized search for us and speed shopping with us for long days. Her commitment to succeeding in meeting our housing needs was obvious. Furthermore, her friendliness, jolly spirit and her driven, no-nonsense way of dealing with the task at hand, delighted me – a very effective type. I enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for a property.”

“This is the second house that Jodi has helped us sell in Chapel Hill. She is very sharp and professional and I always knew that she would get the deal done! Especially at this crazy time in the market, I felt so confident putting the success of our house sale in Jodi's hands. I especially liked her transparency in helping me set a selling price that was ambitious but achievable. I hope to be able to work with her again on the buy side someday! :)”

“As our listing agent Jodi Bakst truly partnered with us to ensure we were set up for success before our house even hit the market. She suggested having an inspection done up front, and following this advice put us in a great position as sellers. We benefitted from her knowledge and great connections in the industry, and despite not being at all involved with our new build she showed interest and gave us valuable advice there too. From start to finish she was on top of things and minimized the stress of prepping and selling our house on a very short timeline. She is assertive, results-oriented, accessible, and relatable. Jodi is a rock star at what she does and I highly recommend her.”

“All of the elements are there.... Jodi has all of the elements you would look for in a realtor - she is very skilled, professional, knowledgeable, prompt, and a pleasure to work with. Several years ago, she helped us to sell a difficult-to-sell property. She was the third realtor we had hired, and we were several years into the process at that point. She took it on, re-doing all previous marketing work, and sold it, to the exact right folks, who were pleased and excited to have it. She assists with the management of work that needs to be done, and makes the whole process as positive and painless as possible. All this is why we went directly to Jodi when looking to buy a home for our daughter. Again, she handled things expertly. We feel so lucky to know exactly who to call on when a realtor is needed. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

“Had an absolutely fantastic experience with Mouse Mock. He was extremely helpful, kind and professional! Can’t recommend him enough!”

“My husband and I are moving from Wyoming to North Carolina. We bought our house over 2,000 miles away! With many FaceTime calls and text messages, she found us the perfect house! In this competitive market, houses are flying off the market. She was very prompt in scheduling a viewing for us, and dedicating time to make sure the houses were priced accurately. She did not let us deviate from our budget. She is very informative and understood our needs/wants. She didn’t just help us find a house, she helped us find the perfect neighborhood, impeccable commute distance to downtown Durham, and most importantly our next home. Jodi goes over and beyond to fight for your wants, we are forever grateful 🤗”

“Above and beyond home buying experience with Jodi! Jodi is very knowledgeable, professional, and an outstanding person who truly cares. After having worked with a few realtors during several months of unsuccessful attempts to buy a home in a very competitive market, Jodi helped me buy the home of my dreams very quickly and effortlessly. She knows what it takes to get the deal done, is an awesome communicator, and has tons of connections and great referrals for everything house related. Always readily available and eager to help, she was patient, immediately responsive, and never left any of my questions unanswered. I will forever be grateful to the kind and genuine professional that Jodi is. I highly recommend working with Jodi!!”

“I have worked with Jodi now on two home purchases and one sale. She has always worked hard to advocate for me, through some pretty strange ups and downs. When I bought a flipped house, she worked hard to make sure that any shortcuts were caught in inspection and fixed by the flipper. And when my buyer backed out of my home sale, she turned on a dime to help us relist and provided great advice and reassurance throughout the entire selling process. I would highly recommend Jodi!”

“Jodi is the queen! We were first time home buying during a pandemic, from a different state, in a wild market. Jodi busted her butt showing us so many houses via video call, was always accessible to answer questions, gave amazing and honest input when needed (but also knew when there was no right answer and let us decide for ourselves), and fought so well for us! We could not have had a better experience, especially under such wild conditions. We are so grateful, and would work with her again in a second!”

“Jodi regularly provided a range of homes to review, was prompt in scheduling showings, and had helpful feedback about pricing and neighborhoods. Once we were under contract, she was remarkably thorough at keeping the process moving, coordinating with our lender, and ensuring that repairs from the inspection contingency were attended to. I was very impressed by her conscientiousness and recommend her strongly as a buyer's agent!”

“Most professional and insightful realtor I’ve ever worked with I actually began working with Jodi about three years prior to selling our house. She provided an assessment of my home following A failed attempt to sell the property during a divorce. She recommended changes and improvements we could make in advance of attempting a resale of the property. Once we decided to put the house on the market again she provided additional up-to-date insights on fire trends and how to price and position the home. After our home was on the market for about 60 days she recommended minor adjustments to the Marketing and the pricing of our home which ultimately resulted in a successful sale. She is a realtor with savvy business chops. I recommend Jodi without hesitation.”

“We have bought, built or sold properties in Chapel Hill and Hillsborough 7 times over the past 16 years, through Jodi Bakst. We had great experience working with Jodi and her team every single time, and Jodi has become a good friend of our family over the years. Most of the transactions occurred when we were living away from Chapel Hill. Jodi would send us listings and would painstakingly preview properties that we thought might work for us. Sometimes she would work with us for years before we found one property we liked. Jodi typically handled the inspection, survey, closing and any other research we tasked her with, and her diligence was always meticulous. Jodi goes over and beyond her call of duty to help her clients both before and after closing. She has recommended to us skilled professionals to carry out repairs or improvements to the property both before and after sale. Jodi maintains good relationship with her clients well after a sale is completed. Since we are frequently away from town, Jodi periodically checks on our house especially after severe weather conditions, and we depend on her to let tradespeople in for maintenance or other work, years after the house was purchased. It is good to have Jodi on your side during the stressful periods of buying or selling your house, as she has her client's best interest at heart. Jodi will always steer you in the right direction and will never put pressure on you.”

“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 recommend Jodi strongly to anyone.”

“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!”

“Jodi is the best! She was incredibly professional, detailed, and driven to help us sell our home quickly and at the best price possible. She listened closely to our needs and also gave per professional opinion when needed. We couldn't have found a better agent. Thank you, Jodi!”

“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.”

“As a first time home buyer it was a blessing to have Jodi as our realtor, she was great giving us different options, negotiating the best deal possible, and even after the closing she still have our back. Thank you Jodi for everything you did for us.”

“As a first time home buyer it was a blessing to have Jodi as our realtor, she was great giving us different options, negotiating the best deal possible, and even after the closing she still have our back. Thank you Jodi for everything you did for us.”

“Jodi is an excellent agent. She has the proper balance of being aggressive enough for a buyer and sympathetic to everyone involved.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Jodi! Her savvy business sense is just what we needed to sell our older fixer upper. We found her to be both knowledgeable and personable. Thank you Jodi!”

“Great agent with super clients! Jodi knows how real estate works!”

“I have worked with Jodi for several years with several real estate sales and have been very satisfied by the effort she put in to finding me the correct home or help me sell an existing one. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to buy or sell in the Chapel Hill/ Durham area.”

“Jodi was a real pleasure to work with! I highly recommend using her services!”

“Jodi has assisted in the acquisitions and sell of two home for me and Jessica and we have always been highly impressed with her professionalism and knowledge of the Chapel Hill real estate landscape. We have recommended her to several friends and she has been a BIG hit in all cases. We highly, highly recommend her!”

“Real Estate Experts is aptly named. Jodi is a seasoned pro who knows the market and is a great negotiator on your behalf. Well worth consulting at any stage of the process. We’ve had very good experiences with several moves in the area. All accomplished our goal thanks to Jodi and her team.”

“I am a mortgage broker and have worked with Jodi's clients for years, and I can tell you she always does an outstanding job for her clients.”

“We could not have asked for a better experience than working with Jodi Bakst to sell our house.

“Jodi is very easy to work with and is very professional and efficient in her work, she is extremely knowledgeable of the housing market, I would recommend her 10 times over for her services”

“Jodi was great in taking us around to different communities when we were looking to relocate. Once we purchased the home, she followed through with having he construction inspected each step of the way as we were not in state at the time. She continued through when we made the purchase and sale agreement and helped after we had moved to the area. She is a great asset to her clients and her profession.Jodi Baskt helped us tremendously when we moved from Massachusetts to Chapel Hill. She was very patient in taking us to many complexes and areas in the area and not too far from family. On our last day, she took us to Encore which is an over 55 community in Briar Chapel. It was a match. She helped guide us through the construction process with inspections and helped with getting a mortgage. She was with us every step of the way and acted on our behalf when we were in Massachusetts. We could not have found a warmer and more professional person than Jodi. After being settled in for almost a year and half, we are ever so thankful for her guidance and support. We have recommended her to friends and people we have met in the area.”

“Jodi has always been very friendly and full of advice on what to do next, how to do it, and where to go to get it done. She has walked me through both buying a house in Chapel Hill, and then 20 years later selling that same house. I felt I was well informed, and I was doing the right next thing in the process of the real estate deal.”

“We absolutely love working with Jodi and her team! They are professional, knowledgeable and personable and are one of the best teams in the triangle!”

“I have worked with jodi for many years and seen her sell or buy houses and she goes above normal work to make sure the homeowner or buyer gets the best possible deal.She is a stickler for detail and makes sure things are right. Jodi is a great person and realtor”

“I met Jody in a local business networking group, little did I know I'd learn so much from Jodi and enjoy her professional representation. Jody has helped my wife and I sell and purchase two homes, couldn't have asked for a better realtor and pro. I also know Jodi on a personal level, supporting her business and family with event Management services. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to share this referral.”

“Jodi did an excellent job representing us as sellers in Carrboro , selling a house at the upper end of the price range for its neighborhood. She prepared us incredibly well and did an excellent job negotiating on our behalf. We had two offers above the list price within 24 hours and had the “ difficult” task of choosing one of these. Jodi knows our market well and will be an excellent communicator as she represents you.”

“Jodi and her team are excellent professionals at the top of their game. Jodi does a terrific job of advocating for her clients to make sure they get not only the house they need, but help through every aspect of the sale whether buying or selling. We have done both a few times and find that if Jodi does not know the answer she works tirelessly to get what we needed. She also has a depth of knowledge and resources to make the process as smooth as possible. I highly recommend Jodi Bakst.”

“Jodi really helped us get our house in shape for sale. A pleasure to work with!”

“The first time I met Jodi she represented the seller of the house I was buying. I immediately knew if I ever sold and bought another home, I would hire her. I did just that, and am so glad I did. My first impression of her was spot on: knowledgeable, personable, and efficient. I recommend her and her team without reservation.”

“Jodi is the best! I first used her as a realtor 20 years ago when I was living in another country and moving to Chapel Hill. She made finding a house from afar easy. After the house was purchased, she gave us fabulous referrals to allow us to make small renovations so that our home was completely live-in ready by the time of our move. We felt completely comfortable with Jodi's advice and perspective and were able to trust her implicitly. That level of trust has continued to this day. When I recently needed advice about my elderly father's home, I turned to Jodi, who went above-and-beyond to help out my family. For any real estate needs, either buying or selling, Jodi Bakst is your answer!”

“Excellent, professional, friendly!”

“Jodi sold our home and helped us buy a new one. She did an outstanding job advising us on what to do to sell our home. We had a lot of work to do and it got the job done. Jodi helped us at time when we needed her most. She was professional, understanding and she always protected our interests. We highly recommend Jodi and Real Estate Experts to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Triangle area.”

“Jodi Bakst and her team are consummate real estate professionals who know the Chapel Hill real estate market. I highly recommend their services, especially to anyone who is new to the area. She helped our family in our move from Southern CA to Chapel Hill by listening thoroughly to our needs, finding us a lot of houses to tour in the various neighborhoods in our price range and honing in on the search as she worked with us to understand what we're looking for. In fact, she was able to find us our "perfect" home even before it went on the market due to her extensive network of fellow agents and we soon closed on it thereafter. Highly recommend Jodi to anyone new or currently in the area.”

“Jodi was very diligent when it came to selling our home and very patient in the home search for finding our new home. Everything went very smoothly.”

“Jodi went above and beyond to help us purchasing our forever home. As first-time buyers, she walked us through the steps and advised us in areas we would have never thought to consider. We are so thankful for Jodi and her team!”

“We retired to this area about a year ago. Jodi was the perfect real estate agent for us. She listened carefully to our list of wishes and suggested neighborhoods that would meet our needs. After our exploratory trip she provided us with listings to review online to help focus our search. When we returned to house hunt she took us to numerous properties and helped us assess the quality of the residences and the appropriateness of the pricing (see the statistical data on her website). She skillfully guided us during the negotiation of the offer, the home inspection, and the closing. The professionals she lined up to help us complete our purchase were equally skilled in their areas of expertise. Jodi also pointed us to contractors to work with us on some projects we wanted to complete. Throughout the process Jodi communicated clearly and eased the stress that’s part of the home buying process. We’re delighted with our home and enjoying getting to know the area in more depth. We greatly appreciate Jodi’s efforts on our behalf.”

“Jodi made selling our home as painless as such an experience can be. She made great suggestions at the beginning of the process (such as doing virtual staging) and she mage great suggestions as to what changes would be worthwhile doing and what ones wouldn't provide a reasonable return on investment. She stayed in touch with us on a regular basis and when the first (final) offer came in she gave guidance as to what might be appropriate steps to take in the negotiations. Neither I nor my wife would have any hesitation in recommending Jodi to anyone looking to sell their home or to buy. She is a true professional who is actually fun to work with.”

“Jodi Bakst is the most talented and skilled realtor I have worked with in over 25 years and more than a dozen moves between the military and private sector corporate moves. Jodi was recommended to me in 2013 when my home sat on the market for almost 7 months, 70 showings and only 1 offer. Through Jodi's guidance and recommendations, my home sold in 10 days after returning it to the market. Additionally, I purchased my current home in 2015 and Jodi was my buyer's agent. Jodi is a strong advocate and true champion for her clients. She gets things done! I was in good hands with Jodi and both the selling price for my previous home and the purchase price of my current home left me happy. If you are looking to work with a realtor in the Chapel Hill-Durham, Jodi Baskt is the BEST!!”

“Jodi was excellent throughout my home buying experience! This was my third home with her and I would definitely go back to her in the future. She is pleasant to work with and knows the market in the area. Home buying or selling experience could be a frustrating process but having an excellent agent like Jodi on your side make things much easier.”

“Real Estate Experts' owner Jodi Bakst is a smart and savvy realtor with loads of energy and drive. Working with her, it's also obvious that she genuinely cares about her clients -- about meeting their needs and making their dreams come true, whether that "dream" is the perfect new home or selling a current home. She's refreshingly honest, friendly, and a pleasure to be around. On top of that, she gets the job done. Enough said!”

“I've been a big fan of Jodi Bakst's for while now. She and her team are top notch. They do your typical buy and sell transactions expertly. But what really impresses me is the variety of opportunites she has available for her investor clients. Don't hesitate to call Jodi if you need help with your real estate deals!”

“As a local appraiser, I have consulted with Jodi on several occasions. I continue to be impressed by her understanding of our market and the forces that shape it. Through our conversations, I've been impressed by Jodi's high ethical standards. Clients that we share have spoken of Jodi's strong energy and focus.”

“We certainly enjoyed working with Judy during sale of our house. Our life was going through several changes during that time. She was very patient throughout the process .Advised us and not only provided information but also resources as to whom to approach. She was honest in her appraisal and very encouraging. We highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in selling or buying a house”

““You want to sell your house?” or “Your thinking of buying a house?” I say, “You must contact Jodi Baskt, let me tell you about Jodi!” The year my husband and I decided to sell our house to purchase a different home, Jodi was the only realtor we considered. Personally knowing Jodi was a plus, but we also knew she’d be a professional, ethical, organized, and energized salesperson who’d not let our listing sit. After viewing our home, she had a few ideas for making the house more appealing to sellers. After addressing those small suggestions, we put the house on the market. The first day brought us three offers. One over the asking price. We’ve recommended Jodi to our friends and family. One, whose house was a ‘work in progress,’ said, “Jodi was kind to me. I never felt that my house was below her like some other realtors with whom we spoke. When she was working with us, Jodi was focused, listening, and grasping concerns or needs, then tackling them directly. She has this knack of saying what needs to be said and getting heard, so the house sells. That is important.” Once Jodi put their house on the market, it sold in the first few days. It took a bit longer for our son-in-law and daughter’s house to sell, but that house was a unique custom build in a remote location. When I run into people that didn’t go with Jodi and ask how the house selling is going, I usually groan inside while listening to their stories. Let me state this simply, “You want to sell your house?” or “Your thinking of buying a house? You must contact Jodi Baskt, you won’t be disappointed!””

“We loved the house but I'm not a fan of the online application and the agent had 2 other couples at the house in Cedar Grove along with us.”

“Jodi is reliable, thorough, and knows our community. Her many years as an active community member and professional make her the ideal agent to help both newcomers and locals find their ideal home.”

“Jody was recommended to us by a real estate professional, that we had known for years, to help search for a condo in Chapel Hill for our son, who was attending UNC. Jody had a thorough knowledge of the market and was very helpful locating the condo we purchased. Jody was very helpful with the negotiation and the closing of the property. Three years later we were happy to list our property with Jody’s firm and had a good experience in selling and closing. In the future, if buying in Chapel Hill, we would be happy to work with Jody again.”

“Jodi is the hardest worker I know! She is extremely knowledgeable in the local real estate scene and is a true pro! Highly recommended.”

“When we moved to North Carolina Jodi represented the seller of the house we ended up purchasing. Ever since we not only have come to respect her advice on all matters real estate, but also a trusted advisor in everything that has to do with service companies related to the home. As we look to move to a new house we certainly will be looking to work with Jodi. Highly recommend her for any one looking into buying or selling a home.”

“Jodi has been truly incredible on helping us through the years when we were buying or selling a home. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She spends a lot of time showing us as many homes as we need to see till we find the right home. She returns our emails, texts or phones calls right away and answers all the questions we have. I have recommended Jodi to friends who were looking for the best real estate agent and they could not be more happy with the results.”

“Jodi Bakst was our go to agent when we moved to Chapel Hill in 2008. She was extremely professional and detail oriented. Having dealt with real estate agents on a few properties, in New York, I can tell you, Jodi is the best agent I have ever encountered. Nothing will fall through the cracks and the experience was delightful I highly recommend Jodi and her team. We are now utilizing Jodi to sell our home and help us downsize. Working with her is delightful.”

“Jodi is a talented and extremely knowledgeable Realtor. Jodi was able to take the information we gave her and come up with the perfect home for us to start a life in Cary. 10/10 Jodi’s way of working was the best experience I have had buying real estate over the past 30 years. Thank you Jodi”

“With Jodi's help, we smoothly settled down in Chapel hill in a pretty short time.”

“When my husband and I were looking for an investment property in Carrboro, we asked Jodi to lead the search. She found us a great little apartment on the bus line and helped us negotiate an excellent deal. We have not had a single month in 10 years that it hasn't been occupied. She made the experience so easy that we immediately thought of her when my in-laws decided to relocate to Chapel HIll from NJ. They were looking for something unique and contemporary and Jodi found the perfect place for them. And once again, she handled all the details and made it easy for them to make the move. She knows triangle real estate inside and out...I highly recommend working with her!”

“Jodi is a superb realtor. Her expertise eased the home buying process for us. She was very knowledgeable about valuation and the comps she provided were spot on. During negotiation process she advised us to wail away from a property because the owner demands were unreasonable and startlingly the owner withdrew his demands and lowered the price and the home was ours. Her concern and help after we moved in was also a pleasant surprise. I cannot recommend her more strongly”

“Jodi was very honest and professional when showing us houses. In fact, she talked us out of a few houses that we were interested in bc she thought they were over priced.....we could tell she had our best interests in mind and that she was not just trying to complete the transaction. We would highly recommend her!”

“Jodi was great. Even when we had different ideas about aspects of the process we worked through them clearly and without any drama. And since I was out of state, she did a ton of leg work rounding up various contractors and quotes for repairs. Would recommend her to anyone.”

“Kait was amazing to work with. She is very knowledgeable and knows the area very well. We looked and looked until we decided to purchase a new construction house. I recommend having a real estate agent even with a new construction home process and build. She was on our side and looked out for our best interests. She was with us for all meetings and inspections. Kait is wonderful! Thank you Kait for making our home buying experience amazing.”

“Kait was amazing and always attended to our needs. She made buying a house easy for us and guided us as first time home buyers. We recommend her to all our friends and family and will definitely use her in the future if needed!”

“Kait is an exceptional realtor! I was a challenging client with my wants and needs for my first home, but this never deterred her. She worked with me night and day by sending new listings, making it a priority to see the homes immediately, sending out letters to potential homes, and guiding me through the whole home-buying experience. This woman knows her stuff, loves what she does, and gave me full peace of mind. I definitely recommend her services!”

“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!”

“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 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!”

“Karyn was our Real Estate Professional when we moved to the Durham area from Illinois, as well as our Real Estate Professional when we were selling our home in order to move to Montana. Karyn made the process of buying and selling a home when we were not physically close so easy! Karyn is approachable, friendly, direct, and realistic. Her approach allowed us to know where we were in the process at all times. She is very organized and help us to stay on task with the items we needed to handle. I have dealt with many Realtor's over the years, but have never worked with someone of Karyn's caliber. Karyn has set the bar of my expectations very high and I only wish that she was located in my new state so that I could work with her on buying our next home.”

“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!”

“One of my rental properties is in Chapel Hill. I've dealt with agents in multiple countries - some good, some not so good. Bill is certainly a very experienced pro who is a pleasure to deal with.”

“We interviewed 5 other agents and had them prepare their strategy and met with each one. Someone from Jodi's office called and suggested that I talk to Jodi for 5 minutes. I did so and then we met with her and decided to go with her over the 5 agents we had already considered and had recommendations for. We think that was a good decision. We greatly appreciate all Jodi's efforts to help us sell our long-time home and her persistence through the time it took to make it happen. Needless to say, it was not easy for any of us but the result was positive and a great relief to us. Jodi had also discussed our renting our home if we could not find a buyer and that was important, even though not our preference, but we had to face all the possibilities. We had also been told by two other agents that we needed to set the initial price at $525K in order to sell the house and Jodi was able to prove them wrong. We knew it was an unusual property but we needed someone who could look at that as an opportunity for the right buyer and not an excuse to sell cheap and move on. Thanks to Jodi for her efforts to help us find the right buyers and complete the sale on good terms for everyone. I hope the new owners will be happy there. We appreciate all that Jodi did and her patience in getting through all the showings for the wrong buyers, the complainers, etc. Jodi was professional and thorough and we thank her for getting the job done.”

“Jodi uses technology to support the sale. Has great resources available to help address repairs or upgrades. She is confident and knowledgeable about the market. She is a pleasure to work with.”

“I live in Kentucky and Jodi Bakst not only kept me informed of the progress during the marketing, due diligence, inspections, and closing periods, she also recommended and scheduled contractors to handle necessary repairs. Her knowledge and contacts made it possible for me to remain in Kentucky and have confidence that everything was being handled appropriately. Her assistance was extremely valuable! I have had multiple experiences with other realtors in the past, and can honestly say that none measure up to the professionalism and integrity that Jodi possesses. As stressful as I thought the process might be, Jodi made me feel like I was in good hands every step of the way. And I was!”

“We rented a house for a year from Bill and Team Jodi Property Management. The house was perfect for our family and the rental process was smooth and very convenient. We had a couple of very minor maintenance issues and Bill was on it every time and took great care of us. Thanks!”

“We had a great experience with Jodi Bakst. She was helpful, informative, attentive and patient during the searching process. Once we found a house, she negotiated very well with the sellers to keep our deal moving in the right direction and get us the home for the right price. Overall, a great experience!”

“Jodi Bakst listed and sold our home early 2017. The house was initially put on the market late 2016. Jodi and her colleague Boyce Duffie work diligently to market it and conducted three open house to show off the house. They did an excellent job, according to neighbors attended the event, in presenting the house. After we moved away, Jodi printed large pictures put on tall easels to show the house when it's fully furnished. Since the house is in a 55+ active adult community, late year marketing does not prove to be the best timing. But, their hard work was helpful, and the house was sold a few days prior to our planned relisting in early February 2017. They have our high recommendation.”

“I am recommending Jodi and her team at a very high level because I am an owner and a very happy one at that. Jodi's is extremely knowledgeable about the area and all aspects of buying or selling homes. She took extra time, her true caring and her going the extra mile to make sure I had all the answers I needed to make a final decision.”

“I highly recommend Jodi and her team. They helped us buy our current house and are in the process of helping our son buy his first property. Everyone we have worked with in their office has been extremely helpful and professional.”

“Jodi is in a class all by herself - hands down, the best real estate agent in the Triangle. She understood my needs and took so much time to help me with every single step!”

“Jodi Bakst was our go to agent when we moved to Chapel Hill in 2008. She was extremely professional and detail oriented. Our requirements were difficult since we were combining two households into a mother-daughter home Jodi got on the case and found exactly what we needed. Having dealt with real estate agents on a few properties, in New York, I can tell you, Jodi is the best agent I have ever encountered. Nothing will fall through the cracks and the experience was delightful I highly recommend Jodi and her team.”

“It's rarely easy or fun to sell a home, but Jodi got me through it. I was living 3000 miles away and Jodi took care of everything from preparing the house for sale to closing it.”

“Jodi went above and beyond for us, patiently guiding us to homes that suited our specific needs. She is extremely knowledgeable of the area, as we began our search in rural Chatham County, migrated north to Durham and Hillsborough, then finally ended up with a perfect home in Cary! She impressively handled some tricky, heated negotiations in a very professional, diplomatic manner. We were guided through the Closing process expertly. We highly recommend Jodi and her team.”

“Never before have I had a service that so exceeded my expectations! As a person that has had some experience in life I’ve understandably bought services of all types, real estate services among them. You will obviously like the services most, that meet or exceed your expectations of that service. The way Jodi helped us find a house in Chapel Hill and finish all the paperwork needed for financing and closing on the house, so exceeded my expectations that I was frankly astounded. Jodi did a fantastic job of setting up a customized search for us and speed shopping with us for long days. Her commitment to succeeding in meeting our housing needs was obvious. Furthermore, her friendliness, jolly spirit and her driven, no-nonsense way of dealing with the task at hand, delighted me – a very effective type. I enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for a property.”

“Friends, We recently purchased a new home with the help of Jodi Bakst of Real Estate Experts. We are so excited about our new home and I’d like to give a shout out to the very best realtor we have ever dealt with. I rarely write such reviews , yet the level of service we received was simply beyond. Jodi Bakst stands head and shoulders above anything I’ve seen in the real estate industry. She personally takes responsibility for every aspect of your home purchase and guides you to the decision best for you while clarifying the process. Her patience over a very lengthy amount of time that it took us to make our decision was like constantly having a guide at your side. Jodi is always responsive and very understanding of the multitude of questions her clients have. She really is the expert in the Durham Chapel Hill area People often don’t understand what the potential role of a real estate agent could be. Jodi’s knowledge about home ownership and its responsibilities is extensive. She fights for her clients to come out with the best deal possible, and is always your greatest advocate. Jodi goes way beyond the extra mile. I would highly recommend Jodi to anyone that is considering purchasing a new home.”

“Jodi is an extremely knowledgeable and patient agent. She helped us through the process with our best interests in mind. Jodi was like our personal advisor and went out of her way to research homes that would best fit our criteria and budget, prepared comparable market pricing analysis and gave us valuable advice to help us buy our dream home. Jodi was always extremely responsive and thorough. It took us about seven months to find a home, Jodi was always very patient and kept us positive during our search and showed us dozens of homes. She also coordinated home inspections for us, reviewed with us the findings and provided us with good advice. Jodi took care of us before, during and after the process. We recommend Jodi to anyone who is looking for a personal approach to the home buying process without the high pressure. Jodi is absolutely professional, kind, and an amazing agent!”

“Jodi is highly knowledgable about the real estate market. She provided a very professional and clear cut analysis of our property, and what the proper listing price should be, as well as other ideas to quickly and fairly sell our home. She works hard for her clients to get the job done.”

“Jodi is a top-notch professional in the real estate business. She has now sold 2 homes for me and helped me purchase another. She is a no non-sense agent who gets the job done and is always fair. Great advice! I will definitely use her the next time I need to buy or sell.”

“I queried her about a listed property. She was quite responsive, and provided me with accurate, timely information. I am still looking, but I appreciate her responsiveness, and ability to provide accurate information promptly.”

“If you want an excellent realtor who is there for you, Karyn is the one!! She was so patient with us as we got my parents' house ready to put on the market. Not only did she provided us with great suggestions within our budget on what we could do to entice buyers but she kept us on track and even helped when we couldn't be there for estimates. We highly recommend Karyn and will definitely use her if we ever put our house on the market.”

“Very knowledgeable and professional in all aspects. Explained entire process including marketing and was very responsive. Would recommend highly. Thanks for the help through this experience.”

“Jodi helped us find and purchase our new home, as well as sell our nearby condominium when we were ready to move. We had a lot of criteria for selecting our new home and Jodi did a great job finding suitable options and helping us evaluate them. She is incredibly responsive and thorough and guided both closing processes with acumen. Jodi’s work was most impressive in selling our condominium as it was a very energy efficient home in a co-housing community. She did a great deal of targeted marketing to find a buyer who wanted the features of such a unique neighborhood. Jodi is very knowledgeable and we relied on her guidance on many matters. She is a person of integrity and you can trust that she has your best interests in mind throughout what can be a complicated and stressful process.”

“Jodi was fantastic - our house had been on the market for 6 months before we worked with her. Her guidance was direct (unlike our last realtor who left us on our own to decide things) and useful. We had moved out of our state and she arranged for and oversaw all the contractors to make the small improvements needed - we didn't do anything. After just a few months, Jodi found a buyer and worked tirelessly to make sure the sale went through - Sure wish we had hired her from the very beginning!”

“I have worked with Jodi on a couple of properties and found her to be responsive to me needs and a great negotiator when it came to the contract. I really appreciate the personal touches ( she paid for the home warranty and brought a gift to welcome us back to the area) I would recommend her without reservation.”

“I was looking for someone special to help me sell my recently deceased mother's home. I heard of Jodi from a close neighbor who recently sold her home and had an excellent experience. Jodi is personable, direct and honest. Her expertise and suggestions of pre-selling preparations/activities were spot on. Her effort and availability exceeded expectations [she even communicated regularly with us while she was on vacation in another country!] What commitment! Anyone looking for a true partner in a real estate transaction should check out Jodi Baskt (from teamjodi).”

“Jodi was exceptional. She handled a huge number of details for us including repairs on the house. She also was very good at finding a place that had yet to go on the market saving is a lot of hassle. Highly recommended.”

“This is the second time I have worked with Jodi Bakst. Previously, she sold my home in Chapel Hill. Her suggestions and guidance led to a great offer and a smooth transaction. Jodi found the home I just closed on and moved into at the beginning of July. She was able to help me find the perfect place for me and my family. We love our new home and our neighborhood. She is an outstanding realtor.”

“We had a great experience with Jodi and all of the members of her team from start to finish. Even after the sale she helpfully provided us with names of reliable local tradespeople for some things we wanted to do on the house before moving in. From house inspection to arranging a survey to negotiation, it was all very professional. We will happily recommend Jodi Bakst to anyone.”

“I interviewed three local realtors. Jodi's presentation was superior analytically. She reviewed the steps we would follow over the next month, from staging the house and property to recommending competent contractors. She also prepared a very attractive brochure and began a successful ad campaign in which I was always notified before and after showings. We had several showings over the first weekend and on the third day we had a contract for the asking price and that became the sale. I have since recommended Jodi to a friend whose house had idled on the market for close to a year. She sold it in a month using a unique virtual computer-based approach.”

“Karyn not only knows what she is doing, but she always shows good humor and patience. Ours was certainly not her biggest sale, but she always treated us like we were a top priority. She was flexible with her time, kept the process on track and made sure everything ran smoothly. Karyn is a gem!”

“Working with Karyn was a joy! We were moving to North Carolina from Illinois and Karyn made the process extremely easy for us. She is very knowledgeable about the area and a great negotiator! Karyn also handled everything for us with regard to the home inspection, well & septic, etc. We arrived in North Carolina on the day that we closed on our house and we didn't have anything to worry about. Karyn kept in close contact with us while we were still in Illinois and I could always count on her to give me any and all information straight. I would recommend Karyn to anyone who is looking for a hard-working, honest, knowledgeable and responsive Realtor”

“A couple of friends had listed their homes with Jodi and had had good results, but my home was going to be a bigger challenge—it was a 1974 contemporary that hadn’t been renovated since the early 90s, the rooms were small and the lot, while beautiful, was on a hill. Her initial presentation was very professional and thorough. She’d done her homework and made a good case for the price she thought would move the house. Her ideas about positioning it in the market, including virtual staging and photos shot on multiple occasions and at different angles, showed and described the property to its best advantage. Jodi stayed in touch to discuss the feedback the house was getting and I had an offer I could accept in less than a month. You can’t get better results than Jodi delivers.”

“Since 1998, we (plus two families to whom we recommended Jodi) have bought/sold 5 houses with Jodi Bakst. Jodi is a straight shooter, with market figures and instinct to back up her recommendations. She is very willing to listen to a personal request and incorporate it. Homeowners have many balls in the air when selling a house. When told of an issue, I appreciated Jodi simultaneously offering me a solution, recommendation or a phone number. Jodi and buyers' realtor worked out small problems without me having to be involved - always to my satisfaction. I loved the staging advice. The consultant had the buyer in mind, but made sure she was in tune with my needs. Staging not only helped get my home ready for viewing, but also tremendously helped pace my move/downsizing. The sale went as smoothly as I could have hoped. I am left with a good feeling after selling a home I loved, much due to Jodi's efforts.”

“I was totally pleased with Jodi's approach, as well as her professionalism and results. I would rely on her again and again. I recommend her highly and without reservation.”

“Jodi is an extremely knowledgeable and patient agent. She helped us through the process with our best interests in mind.

We recommend Jodi to anyone who is looking for a personal approach to the home buying process without the high pressure. Jodi is absolutely professional, kind, and an amazing agent!”

“Karyn worked with us for several months to find just the right home for our retirement. Since we were relocating from another state, we relied on her knowledge of the area and expertise. She was always available and her attention to detail made the buying experience from offer to closing go smoothly. We looked at dozens of homes over a period of months and she never lost patience with us. Her professionalism and ethics are second to none. She is a joy to be around and that is just an extra bonus. We would recommend her without reservation to anyone in need of real estate services.”

“Karyn is the consummate real estate professional! She initially worked with my husband to locate a town home while our family was living in the DC Metro area. Karyn helped us find a great interim location that was ideal and close to our kid's schools. Shortly after we moved to Chapel Hill, we began looking for a home. Karyn took the time to understand our needs, quirks, and what we wanted in a home. When we had doubts she guided us in the process to help us make informed decisions. The entire home buying process was efficient and there were no surprises. Karyn was always on top of things, thorough, and provided us with valuable local insight. We live in a great house on a beautiful lot. Karyn helped us find a gem in the community and we're so grateful! We continue to seek her expertise on a variety of housing topics. We highly recommend Karyn for all your housing needs!”

“Karyn is just simply AMAZING! she is knowledgeable, honest, dedicated , patient and ,most importantly, really listened to us about what we were looking for. She found the perfect home for us. Her attention to detail was so appreciated and could not have been more thankful that she took the time after closing to decorate our young children's new rooms with balloons to make them feel welcome in their new home after a challenging move from out of state. Even after all was settled, she continues to be a great resource for us. Without reservation, I would recommend Karyn Cho.”

“A truly caring person and always there if you need her. Always kept her calmness as I was going crazy as most new home owners do with balancing moving and getting all my ducks in a row. Felt she is knowledgeable about the mortgage process and the area. She kept me calm, informed and reassuring me all the way to the closing. Which went off without a hitch! Loved working with her and I recommend her when ever I can.”

“I recommend Jodi Bakst because of our experience working with her to sell our home In 2014. Jodi has a thorough understanding of our local real estate market. She is completely up to date with the latest online marketing techniques. Her excellent advice prior to listing helped us to price our home properly to prepare our home for the market. This definitely made all the difference in how appealing our home was to potential buyers. Jodi offered honest advice when the time came for negotiation. She was responsive and easy to contact when we had questions. I recommended Jodi Bakst as a real estate agent to anyone selling their home. It was a pleasure to work with her!”

“My husband and I were looking for just the right place for our lifestyle, out in the country and with privacy. Chatham, Orange, Durham, Granville and even Wake were searched and she finally found the right place for us. We couldn't be happier with her tireless work and willingness to work with us.”

“Jodi's professionalism and focused skills are very appreciated and welcome amidst the landscape of what seem to be real estate "hobbyists". She knows the market inside and out and knows what it takes to buy and sell homes (I've both purchased and sold a home with Jodi as have 4 of my friends to whom I recommended her).<br/><br/>From our first encounter with her at an open house, she stood apart with her preparation, approach to marketing, and her clear commitment to helping us achieve our specific real estate goals.<br/><br/>I certainly recommend her to anyone loooking for a Pro in Chapel Hill/Durham market.”

“Having chosen to accept an offer from what turned out to be truly The Buyers from the Other Side of Hell I can only say how thankful I am that I had Jodi to deal with them via their realtor. However, the sale went through pretty much on time in spite of the constant quibbles over a house being sold 'as is'. It felt like years but was in fact less than three months from start to finish.<br/><br/>Also Jodi used a wonderful stager who made the house look exceptionally beautiful while maintaining the style of architecture, using only our own furniture and belongings.”

“I contacted Jodi because I had a referral. Someone I know has a friend who buys and sells houses as a business. And he will only use Jodi as his real estate agent. Jodi consulted with us about each step, and then we did exactly what she suggested. She knows good contractors and we used them for repairs etc. The house was sold within 7 weeks of going on the market.”

“I have bought a house in Chapel Hill using Jodi's advice and expertise. I have also sold a house in Chapel Hill using her help. I have complete confidence in her interpersonal skills, and local real estate knowledge base to help me in transactions whenever I have been trying to negotiate a real estate matter in this local market.”

“We purchased our home in Chapel Hill with the help of Jodi Bakst as our realtor. She is a very knowledgeable real estate professional. Since we were relocating to NC from the northeast, we met and began working with Jodi about five months before we were ready to list our house up north. Jodi was very patient during that time and was always available to answer questions and provide any information we needed. She works in a very efficient and proactive manner and stays current with real estate market. She listened to our wish list and provided us a fantastic real estate experience from start to finish. Our purchase in NC went smoothly and without any problems. Jodi stays on top of every detail throughout the entire process and provides excellent follow-through, including helpful information and good contacts to help us settle in to our new community. We stay in touch with Jodi and often seek her advice regarding our renovation ideas and current market trends. We highly recommend Jodi Bakst and her team!”

“Jodi Bask helped my wife and me purchase our present home. Jodi is very informed, efficient, and very helpful. The purchase went smoothly on time and with no surprises or problems. If and when we decide to purchase another property or sell our home, we will ask Jodi to be our real estate representative. I strongly recommend Jodi Bask”

“Jodi helped us find our home and she was very knowledgeable and responsive. She was able to find us our dream home within two weeks. Fifteen years later, we still live in that same house.”

“I think I was not the best or easiest client for Jodi because I didn't need to move by any specific date and my search was rather vague. We found a promising house that was a short sale and she was very familiar with this type of property. With a lot of road blocks she tirelessly worked on the deal and was able to push everything through rather quickly and a closing was scheduled. Despite all her work one of the sellers pulled out for personal reasons the day before the closing! Undeterred, she kept getting me listings to look at. I finally picked one and we breezed through the closing. She was always very responsive via phone and email and scheduled viewings often at a moments notice. I highly recommend Jodi and her team.”

“We have used Jodi to both sell and buy two houses. She is knowledgeable, professional and proactive. Jodi utilized multiple resources to help us find and move into our home along with remaining helpful when we need assistance in suggesting others to maintain our home. She was helpful in obtaining a perfect property and coordinating a smooth process in obtaining a duplex for my Mother when she was recently re-locating to the area. She coordinated the inspection and advocated for us every step of the way. I highly recommend Jodi and her team for both buying and selling property.”

“Jodi was a great help to us with buying our house. She was very knowledgeable about the market and area and was very patient as it took us a long time to figure out what we wanted. She was an asset when it came to the negotiating table.”

“Jodi worked patiently with us until we found the perfect house for us. She was responsive and professional at every step of the way during our house-buying process. I highly recommend her.”

“I have known Jodi Bakst for over 7 years, since when she first helped me sell my previous home in Chapel Hill. She did such a remarkable job selling my house that I hired her again to help me buy a lot in Hillsborough. I had since moved out of state, and I am now considering moving back to the Triangle region to retire. I hired Jodi once again to help me find a home. I haven't yet found the home I like, but Jodi has been wonderful to work with. She is very knowledgeable and insightful of the market in the Triangle region. She is objective and balanced when giving her opinion on any property. She tries very hard to accommodate me in her schedule whenever I am in town. Once she was away on family businness, when I decided to come to the triangle area to see some houses. Jodi cancelled her originally scheduled flight and rescheduled on an earlier flight just so she could meet with me. Whenever she takes vacations, she arranges for somebody else on her team to show homes. I highly recommend Jodi as an ally in your house buying or selling process.”

“Jodi helped my wife and me buy our last house and she was an outstanding resource. She is a very experienced realtor with a depth of knowledge about the local market, was responsive to our needs and was an excellent negotiator. Jodi has freely answered real estate questions unrelated to specific transactions, and offered excellent advice. I have recommended Jodi to anyone buying or selling and will continue to. She's great to work with.”

“We recently purchased a home in Chapel Hill with the help of Jodi Bakst as our realtor. She was was a spectacular professional and provided the best real estate experience we have ever had. It took over 2 years for us to sell our home in another city and during that time she was extremely patient, thorough and provided all the information we needed to help us ultimately choose the perfect home. Jodi is an extremely good listener and was able to understand the type of housing we required. Next, she was extremely knowlegable about the neighborhoods, schools, demographics and character of the different communities and did not waste our time showing homes that were not suitable for us or outside our budget. She and her team were very detail oriented showed great follow through during the entire process and she was particularly knowledgeable about appraising properties and guided us to getting the best price based on the market and not based on the seller's imagination. After the sale she was especially helpeful in getting us connected in our neighborhood ans provided a very useful written guide which indicated businesses and services that have been proven to deliver excellent service. I cannot imagine anyone providing better real estate advice and service and I continue to recommend her to all my colleagues, business associates and friends.”

“Jodi is an excellent relator. She help me in selling my home and am also in the processing of buying a new one. She pays attention to every detail and will always look out for your best interest. I could not have navigated this process without her. I highly reccomend her.”

“We wanted to do two things in a tough market. 1. rent our house, and 2. buy a house that was a short sale. Jodi and her team got them both done in lightning speed. They found a fantastic tennant for our home in no time. Then, Jodi got the deal sealed on our new house, no small accomplishment considering it was a short sale and lots of people, including the bank, had to agree to the terms. We were able to do all of this without missing a day of work because Jodi and her team make the paperwork a breeze with their electonic system. Moving is never fun, but working with Team Jodi made it so much easier. Now, our new house appraises for about 100K more than we bought it for last year and we're thrilled with the new security of a home equity line of credit and no credit card debt (we rolled it into the line of credit). Our credit score went up and we've got something to fall back on in tough times - you never know when those will happen. Thanks Team Jodi for doing your part to make it all happen!”

“Jodi did a wonderful job of helping me ready my house ready for sale and worked tirelessly marketing the property and obtaining a good price. She is knowledgeable, caring and supportive. You cannot find a more dedicated and honest broker.”

“I built two spec homes in the last subdivision I developed in Chapel Hill and listed both with Jodi. One sold quickly, the other, because of the market collapse took much longer; Jodi did not lose her patience and came up with numerous ideas how to promote this particular house during the time she had it listed until it finally sold. Jodi is a very hard working, enthusiastic and knowledgeable Realtor who is most responsive. She is familiar with and employes all of the traditional as well as the new marketing tools available. I give her an A+”

“While we did not end up selling the house due to lack of market demand a couple of years ago, we did end up renting it through TeamJodi. While the house was on the market, Jodi did her job just fine, the market just didn't bite.<br/><br/>Regarding the rental experience, I can't speak highly enough. The property was managed great. It was checked on from time to time and I always got the rent check in a timely manor. Any repairs that needed to be made were handled quickly and I was always kept in the loop. (Note, I was living across the country at that time so our only communication was phone and email). We are living back at the same house now and it was in great shape when we moved back in.”

“Jodi helped me find property, build a house, and arbitrate with the builder of that house. She then sold that house 9 years later in a down economy for above asking price, and negotiated concessions on buying the house we moved to. I cannot say enough about Jodi's commitment to your needs. She always works on your behalf and you always feel like she is looking out for your interest. I have recommended Jodi to many people for buying, selling and renting. Have no fear if Jodi is your realtor.”

“Jodi has assisted me with a sale and two home purchases. She is a very knowledgeable about local neighborhoods with frank assessments of their relative advantages. Great personality and nice to do business with.”

“We had an excellent experience with Jodi while purchasing and monitoring the building of our home by a developer. She was a great advocate and made sure that all the inspections that would protect us were carried out in a timely manner. She stuck with us all the way through the project. We recommend highly!”

“Jodi is exceptional in everyday. I have high expectations, which she met with poise. A a busy person, I particularly value her responsiveness and commitment to go above and beyond the call of duty. Based on my experiences with her as both a Lister and Seller, I have recommended her previously at every opportunity to do so and will continue this practice. She is highly professional and superbly competent.”

“Jodi is the best realtor I have ever worked with. She is incredibly wise and extremely knowledgeable about Chapel Hill. She is not just a realtor, but a friend throughout the whole selling and buying process. I have recommended her to at least a dozen people and they all agree!”

“I live in Virginia, and was shopping for a 2nd home in Chapel Hill. Jodi made the entire process stress free! From the first day I met her at her office, through negotiations, until the day I closed on the property, and beyond, she was available, she facilitated every move, and I always felt that she acted in my best interest. I will definitely use Jodi for all of my future Chapel Hill real estate needs..”

“I can't express how grateful I am for Karyn's assistance in selling our home! She guided us step by step in setting up the home and carefully explained all the details and the process for quickly selling our home. She was not only diligent, meticulous, and professional, but also warm and kindhearted. She genuinely cared for us individually and worked her magic for our bests interest. We could not have sold this home without her!!! We loved her so much that we used her to buy the next home!!”

“I recently had the pleasure of closing on a townhouse with the assistance of Karyn Cho. She walked me through every step of the process: finding a great community with the amenities I desired, finding the exact size townhouse with the features I needed, securing a loan, and having the townhouse inspected during various phases of construction. Since the townhouse was new construction and being a man with no imagination or creative thought, Karyn was able to help me pick out colors, features and upgrades so that on closing day I had the exact man-cave I wanted. Three outstanding qualities Karyn possesses are: the ability to listen to me and help me define exactly what I was looking for in a house, her patience and flexibility in dealing with my irregular work schedule as I was out of town during the majority of the construction, and representing me in dealings with the builder. Throughout the entire process I had the complete confidence that Karyn was looking out for my best interests. This was the fifth home I have purchased and it has been by far the best new construction and closing I have experienced. Sincerely, Glenn G.”
