WE HANDLE THE DETAILS SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO Our difference is in the details. We uphold a code of ethics that reflects how we conduct business. We use contracts and stipulations written by attorneys that comply with Georgia law and have proven protections. We are trained in negotiation strategies and know how to keep you in the driver’s seat until the transaction is complete. We utilize our alliance partners to assist clients with all lending, legal, insurance, and warranty needs to ensure a seamless and streamlined experience. Everyone can be confident that all aspects of the process will be handled with the highest level of trust and quality to avoid any potential delays. We communicate with the cooperating agent, lender, and closing attorney throughout the closing period to ensure a smooth transaction and on-time closing with no surprises.
INTELLIGENT
Pricing
COMPETITIVE PRICING HOW WE LOOK COMPARED TO THE COMPETITION Pricing is an art, not a science. It is essential to examine and appraise the property value from a number of perspectives. Together, we will use a combination of algorithm tools and platforms in combination with personal experience and expertise to determine a pricing strategy that works best for you.
BROKER FEES Transparency is key in understanding commission structures, ensuring you’re well-informed about your financial commitments. It’s common to misunderstand REALTOR® compensation, but you have flexibility in broker fees. I’m committed to clarifying the role of brokerage cooperation in maximizing your home’s visibility. Commissions are paid to the brokerage, then allocated among marketing, advertising, administrative costs, and finally to our team. This structure supports our goal: selling your property swiftly, at top value, with minimal inconvenience to you.

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY
& Videography
Over 95% of home buyers start their search online, so professional photography is imperative to selling a home! We take professional photos a step further and use photographers who specialize in HDR photography, enabling us to capture crisp, detailed photos, including exterior views. HDR photos have proven to result in more viewings than other professional photographers’ images, and more viewings typically result in the property being sold faster and for more money!

SHOWING
Feedback
YOUR GUIDE TO FEEDBACK Not every agent will provide feedback after showing your home. Our team will call, email, and text message the showing agent three to six times for feedback. If we hit six attempts with no response, we have to make the assumption that there is not interest in the home. W H AT T H E A G E N T S AY S
W H AT T H E A G E N T M E A N S
“THE BUYER THOUGHT THE
THE BUYER FOUND LARGER
HOUSE WAS TOO SMALL.”
HOMES FOR THE SAME PRICE.
“THEY LIKED THE HOUSE
THE BUYER FOUND OTHER
BUT BOUGHT ANOTHER.”
HOUSES THAT WERE BETTER VALUES.
“THEY LIKED THE HOUSE BUT BOUGHT A NEW HOME.”
BUYERS WILL GENERALLY PAY 10-15% MORE FOR A NEW HOUSE, MAKING IF DIFFICULT TO COMPETE.
“THEY DIDN’T LIKE
THE SELLER SHOULD CONSIDER
THE CARPET.”
REPLACING THE CARPET DUE TO AGE.
“THEY THOUGHT THE YARD WAS TOO SMALL. THE STREET WAS TOO BUSY...”
“THE HOME NEEDS SOME WORK.”
THEY FOUND OTHER HOMES WITH LARGER YARDS/QUIETER STREETS FOR THE SAME PRICE.
THERE IS DEFERRED MAINTENANCE AND THEY FOUND A MORE MAINTAINED HOME FOR THE VALUE.
“THEY DIDN’T LIKE
THEY DIDN’T LIKE THE FLOORPLAN. WE
THE FLOORPLAN.”
CANNOT OVERCOME THIS OBJECTION.
The lesson here is that price objections often come cloaked in different terms. Listen carefully to feedback and make your adjustments swiftly. Your ultimate goal is to be the very best house in your price range!

When we decided to move our daughter said there was only one realtor to use as she had had so much success with her. Jodi Halpert was truly incredible. Within two days we had a contract on a new house. She then went to work calling other realtors, and within two days we had two offers. Mind you, the house had not even been listed. She is the most competent, conscientious, incredibly responsive person with a wonderful sense of humor, and resourcefulness that is unsurpassed. If you want to get the job done with no stress, I unequivocally recommend Jodi. Shelly S.
True professional in every sense of the word Jodi’s diligence & patience getting us to closing was incredible. Between the buyers’ bizarre behavior and the added burden of an absentee client, her expertise & perseverance, as well as sher personal “gift” are what got the deal to the closing table. She is a true professional in every sense of the word. I am grateful for her and wish her much continued success. Morton K.
Jodi has been the absolute best to work with both in finding our dream home and in selling our old home. She was engaged in every step of the process with ideas and things to consider, helping us make decisions based on what we told her was important to us and not what looked flashy or great in the moment. I can’t imagine working with anyone else and I will recommend her to anyone we know. Truly appreciative of all she’s done for our family. Brett S.
Having bought and sold 6 homes, 4 here in the Atlanta area, Jodi is clearly the best agent we have ever worked with. Jodi is extremely knowledgeable, hard-working, and most highly effective. She knows her clients’ wants and needs, and how to fulfill them. Whether negotiating a price, interacting with other agents, or dealing with vendors or contractors, Jodi is the consummate real estate professional. She always stays completely composed and focused on serving her clients. She is clearly and unequivocally the best agent we have ever worked with or known. Howie S.
I have worked with a number of realtors in the past, and Jodi really stands out. We first worked with Jodi when we were planning to move to the city from out of state, and she helped us navigate finding a rental property. She was patient and communicated regularly with us through the process. We then embarked on trying to find a permanent home in the midst of a crazy pandemic, and Jodi was so helpful. She is very knowledgeable of the greater Atlanta market, savvy in navigating through the process of seeing homes, presenting an offer, and efficiently getting through the contingency period. She was so responsive, even on vacation. It is clear she knows this business and is well connected with other realtors, inspectors, and contractors. If you are looking for someone who truly has your best interest in mind, I highly recommend Jodi! Liang L.
The best question I asked in our downsizing journey was to a friend “Do you have a realtor recommendation?” She connected us with Jodi and the rest was history! From the moment we sat down for coffee, I knew that Jodi was the right person to help us find the perfect home for our empty nest stage of life. Jodi listened to our wants, was candid about what to expect, and steered us in the direction of the perfect home. She is attentive, fun and has an incredible network of adjacent contacts to help through the selling, buying, inspecting, decorating, renovating stages that come with homeownership. Not only do we have an excellent realtor, we have a fabulous friend! Amanda M.
Jodi is the ONLY person we use to buy or sell! There is a myth that you no longer need a real estate agent due to the ability to find a home online. But this is completely incorrect thinking! Jodi helped us sell a condo in 2014 and buy our single family home in 2017 and she was INSTRUMENTAL in negotiations, contract review, inspection, and just about every detail with the home selling and buying process that we would have quickly been screwed on without Jodi’s expertise. Not only that, Jodi is exceptional with customer service and makes you feel like you are her top priority at all times. Jackie F.
