Jodi was an invaluable resource and guide to our Chaffee County house purchase and remains so many months later! If anyone reading this review is wondering whether they need a local real estate expert representing their interests and facilitating the sale or purchase of their house or property in the Chaffee and Lake County Colorado areas, I will give you my thoughts after recently going through the process as an out-of-the-area buyer trying to find and close on the right mountain house. While online services (e.g. Zillow) allow you to see and research online properties available in the Salida, Buena Vista, Poncha Springs, Nathrop and Leadville areas, there are tremendous gaps in knowledge that only a true local expert can help you understand. Jodi is that true expert and we found her to be a highly ethical advocate and representative for our transaction. Jodi represented our interests as buyers and earned her commission many times over. An example – she knew we wanted a quiet place; while touring a house that we liked, Jodi made sure that we were aware that just over a hill partially obscuring it was a major thoroughfare. She pointed out that while you don’t hear much traffic now, it would likely be different during seasonal traffic and certain times. We went back to the area later and heard very loud motorcycles streaming nearby, which meant that place just did not meet the important criteria we set. Jodi looked out for us at all times and pointed out things she noticed about the properties we saw - good, bad and indifferent that we would have missed. We felt like she had our back during price/condition negotiations on the house we selected, as Jodi stuck to her guns and represented our interests. Once an offer was in place and accepted, Jodi and her team helped us locate and engage with appropriate inspection groups. Without this assistance we would never have met timelines required by the contract. Buying a house in the mountains is different than buying in a metro area. Jodi and her team’s knowledge of local providers, and her assistance in getting the ones we selected to schedule their inspection dates in a timely manner allowed us to meet tight deadlines. This may sound like a small thing, but the buying/selling season is shorter in the mountains, service providers get booked, and you still have a timeline to meet. We needed Jodi’s help and she delivered. Jodi and her team worked very hard behind the scenes and were always communicating status, and responsive to my calls and emails. They were always a joy to work with – pleasant and straight shooting. Jodi sat with us at the closing table and made sure we understood every document placed before us to sign. Again, this sounds like a small thing, but it is a comfort if buying or selling a house is not something you do regularly. I would without hesitation again engage Jodi to assist with buying a house or property, regardless of whether her compensation was a shared seller commission or a direct closing cost to me. I would also not hesitate to hire Jodi to sell our house if we had one to sell. You need a great real estate expert to guide you and look after your interests in what is a very important transaction. My recommendation – hire Jodi. -Brad Purifoy
Jodi is an absolute gem of a realtor. From the moment we connected over the phone, I immediately felt we were in the right hands. When she says she'll "dive in" for you, she means it. Jodi is the perfect combination of friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and hard working advocate. Jodi and her team made our home buying process as smooth as could be, even while we were out of the country trying to negotiate an offer. Jodi really knows the Chaffee County real estate market and did a great job introducing us to the neighborhoods we were interested in. We felt confident having Jodi in our corner, as she went above and beyond to make our experience seamless and even enjoyable!
Jodi is a fantastic Realtor! Her knowledge for the area and contracts is above industry standards. She loves her clients and always in their best interest. She makes it a point to be at every appointment, inspection and closing. She has a passion for the mountains and real estate. I am so happy to be on her team. -Kate Curry
Jodi and her accomplished team did a fantastic job as agent for our Salida home purchase. From start to finish it all went very smoothly. Highly recommended!
Such a great person to work with! Jodi was a huge help with finding our home in Salida. I’m so happy I met her as an agent and I can’t wait to be able to refer her to more people I know. Thank you Jodi! -Tatum M.
I wanted to write this review because Jodi really went above and beyond in the sale of our home. For example, when our long term rental tenants moved out, they left our home dirty and in ill repair, not ideal to market for selling. Incredibly, Jodi actually spent several hours of her time scrubbing the bathtub to remove unsightly stains saving us $1800 for a new tub! She also organized a complete remodel, using her contractors (who were amazing and offered us terrific prices.) She ran the entire remodel project for us at no cost! She organized cleaners and trade professionals. She lightly staged the home on her own as well. She marketed our property with beautiful photos and VIDEO to her numerous networks as well as various social media platforms! She didn’t stop at just putting our home on the MLS! In the end, she got us multiple offers within days of listing. We accepted an offer (over asking) and Jodi had a back up ready to go, just in case! Because of her efforts, we truly got top dollar for our home! Jodi is an excellent Realtor, she made sure we didn’t leave a cent on the table in the transaction. Jodi is a true professional, honest, hard working, innovative and an awesome negotiator! We highly recommend her, in fact we have and she has successfully represented various family members as well as friends! If you’re thinking of selling or buying, you want Jodi, trust me! -Dental Wade
Incredibly satisfied I chose Jodi as my agent, especially as a first time home buyer! She assisted me in locating the proper channels for down payment assistance which was critical to my ability to purchase my home. Jodi explained all the various moving parts from the loan process, inspection, appraisal etc, which empowered me to make one of the biggest and most consequential decisions in my life. Jodi was very knowledgeable about the local housing market and understood how to match my lifestyle to various neighborhoods. AND I had a blast viewing homes and discussing various topics that come up when buying a home. Ultimately, she is a professional who makes this task fun! Do yourself a favor if you're buying or selling and reach out to Jodi...she is the best! -Pwade
I rarely write reviews but I've had such positive experiences working with Jodi I felt that I needed to take the time to share. Jodi has represented me on two transactions. The first was as my agent selling my long time residence in Arcadia. Since it was unclear whether the home would sell to more of a traditional buyer looking for a family home they could remodel or a builder looking to do something more extensive Jodi marketed it to both groups which is double the effort. In the end she procured a spec builder in an all cash seven figure transaction that closed in under 3 weeks! After that sale, she helped helped me find my new home in McCormick Ranch. She was VERY patient as I toured what must have been dozens and dozens of homes all across the valley. In the end, I found the perfect place. Not only was Jodi my agent on the purchase but she went above and beyond after the sale coordinating her team of architects and trades for my remodel. She even went so far as being my sounding board for fixtures, finishes and colors! It's one thing to stick a listing on the MLS as a sellers agent or email you listings as a buyers agent but its a completely different thing when you feel your agent cares and is invested as much as you! Thanks Jodi! -Ringeraz
Jodi went above and beyond to sell my property! She exceeded my expectations and I am very happy to have established a great working relationship with her! -Ifox Eric
We were very fortunate to be able to work with Jodi in our listing. Even though we decided to take our house off the market due to future development project in the neighborhood. Jodi was a very experienced realtor who understands the value of the property and certainly a great sales lady with potential buyers. Whenever we decide to put our house up for sale, we will only work with Jodi in the future. We highly recommend Jodi to be your listing agent! Thank you for all your hard work and support.
In the short amount of time I had to find a pet friendly home, Jodi Homes was the most amazing help I have ever had. Within a week, she found me a wonderful home. Pet friendly for my two huskies, backyard, 2 bedroom, in a very friendly neighborhood. I have been in my house and made it a home for a year now! She is so driven, and a wonderful, very hard working woman. She will most definitely fit your needs every time! Thank you so much Jodi! -Hannah Homes
Wow, Jodi is the best! Due to family circumstances we needed to sell our family members home and Jodi was a total godsend. She helped us in so many ways, she pitched in, really took care of us and my mom in a difficult time. The buyers realtor was a complete insensitive nightmare causing all sorts of havoc while we were dealing with grief, and medical illness. Jodi handled it all like a boss! I can’t say enough about her compassion, her professionalism, and the TLC she gave all of us (even the buyer) during the sale. Thank you Jodi! You’ll always be my #1 go to realtor! -Azpet Guru
Jodi was incredible to work with. Communication was excellent! So personable, professional, energetic, and so honest! Such a delight to work with. If you are selling a house, definitely contact Jodi. She is so organized, but more importantly, she cares about her clients. She checks in constantly to see if you need anything. She was able to sell our house before it officially went on the market. She presented a “coming soon” and potential buyers started responding. -Kriegel
Jodi was excellent! She worked really hard to find what I was looking for in the locations I wanted and within my price range. Her responsiveness was excellent as well. As soon as she found something, she let me know and she worked with my limited hours to show me potential homes. I always recommend her as my top choice for real estate. -Fawley
Jodi helped me and my fiancé Jack find our apartment which we stayed in for almost 2 years in downtown phoenix, and then proceeded to help find us a beautiful house in tempe which we have been wanting for some time! We are so happy with the places she’s found for us and is very good with staying on top of things! I would highly recommend her!! -Mackinsey Voorhees
Jodi is great to work with. She knows the Phoenix area and market and takes the extra steps to make us feel confident in the process and outcomes. We've been very happy with Jodi's results.
Jodi Homes is an amazing agent! When I bought my place, our offer beat 8 other applications and it's still reasonable. Her dedication of work and great knowledge of real state fields will help you buy and sell your properties! -Htotman
When marketing a home there are certain qualities a seller needs to look for a realtor. Jodi Homes immediately checked the boxes on our list: engaging personality with down-to-earth style, complete knowledge of the real estate market in general and our community in particular, attention to detail with suggestions that were right on the mark, honesty and tenacity. I listened to an implemented all of Jodi's relatively simple recommendations, without which I doubt we'd have sold our home as rapidly and seamlessly as we had. While some homeowners consider the sale of a home to be one of life's major stressors we found the experience to be quick and easy - thanks in no small part to Jodi and her fantastic team! -Supack
After a couple of interviews and trial and error we got referred to Jodi. She is a local resident in the Scottsdale and Phoenix neighborhoods and has also raised a family in those cities, making her extremely well versed and knowledgeable in terms of everything from Charter Schools, property valuations to where to go shopping. She’s also got a great temperament and never rushes a buyer. Given we were also out of state buyers, we relied heavily on her to be our eyes and ears. During Covid-19 there is a lot of trust you have to implicitly give since many agents are trying to increase transaction volume to put food on the table. She is also very extremely detailed oriented and a skillful negotiator. We won out on our dream home, beat our 7 competitive offers, and got $3K in seller concessions towards credit at escrow. If you are looking for a top notch realtor in Phoenix or Scottsdale area, then look no further.
Jodi is an AWESOME agent. She replied to our e-mails and phone calls quickly ... appreciated the high level of responsiveness to questions. She is very knowledgable and extremely pleasant to work with. -
I randomly found Jodi in my mother's neighborhood from another nearby listing. After choosing her to sell my mother's home, the process was incredibly smooth and Jodi and her team were truly fantastic to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone out there. -Smith
I can say enough good things about Jodi. Her local knowledge is top notch and helped me quickly find the right home for me. Her vast experience in the myriad of procedural hurdles is second to none. She was able to guide me away from potential pitfalls and handled all the details in a professional manner. Her responsiveness is outstanding. She will return your calls promptly and will follow through with your requests -- day or night, rain or shine. I also have to put a plug in for her negotiation abilities. She was able negotiate a better price for my home and came up with creative solutions to problems along the way. I highly recommend Jodi and you will not be served by a better agent! - Todd Baker
Jodi helped me find rentals for a couple years prior to helping me purchase my new build in Buena Vista. Her knowledge and attention to detail is terrific! I highly recommend Jodi and her team!

This is the first time we've worked with Jodi, and we'll definitely work with her again. She was extremely knowledgeable about how to structure our offer to ensure it was accepted and kept us well informed throughout the process.

We never were left in the dark with anything. It was the easiest real estate experience we've ever had.
