Jody Akerman, Best Choice Realty

Experiencia fantástica: Honest, transparent, solid communication skills, and drive best described Jody in the first closing that we recently worked on together. Truly a team effort where she shined at closing getting the buyer's home sold and closed concurrently with the purchase of a new home in the north end of Tacoma. If you are looking for an agent who truly has your best interest and will perform when it's needed the most, call Jody!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody was highly recommended to us and we weren’t disappointed. Communication is so important when you are selling your home and Jody went out of her way to keep us aware of all the many details involved in the sale.

Experiencia fantástica: Jody and Amy were great to work with. They helped me understand the process as a new home buyer and answered all my questions. Jody helped me understand the process as a new homebuyer and patiently answered all my questions when I started looking and wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I'll recommend these two to anyone looking for a home.

Experiencia fantástica: Before my partner and I met Jody we had always felt like buying a house was years away. Jody not only gave us the resources we needed but showed us that buying a house was much more attainable than we thought. Throughout the entire buying process Jody went above and beyond. She was there for us every step of the way and answered any and all questions we came up with. She always made us feel comfortable and continuously demonstrated that she had our best interest in mind. From the first moment we began looking for homes to the moment we got our keys Jody was there. We could’ve never imagined we would find a realtor with such expertise who was also so accommodating. We truly feel lucky to have been able to work with Jody and would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking to purchase a home. I know we couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with.

Experiencia fantástica: Jody has been so great through out the whole process of helping us out in purchasing our dream home! I can’t thank her enough for her wonderful effort! She’s been super kind and just there when you need her! I would definitely recommend her! Thank you so much Jody! :) we appreciate you!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody Akerman was a great realtor in getting our home sold in a huge market change where most homes were listed for much longer! We are so thankful for her help and expertise!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody was awesome to work with. She is easy going and doesn't put pressure on you. Yet she tells you the crucial information so you can have the best outcome. I would highly recommend her and her team.

Experiencia fantástica: Jody and her team made the home buying process as smooth as possible. We had lots of questions and she was very accommodating and knowledgeable. She listened to our wants and needs in a new house and made sure to ask us questions related to those ideas as we walked through houses to help us see it more clearly and ensuring it would satisfy us for years to come. I am so glad we had her at our side the whole time!

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough good things about Jody, my home buying process was FULL of road blocks. Jody and her team handled all the issues and complications that came up and kept me informed every step of the way. One of the main reasons I chose Jody is because she has a team Of people behind her, if she isn’t available there is someone else there who is happy to help.

Experiencia fantástica: I contacted Jody after seeing our dream home online. I simply said, "We want to sell our current home for this home. We're not looking to sell for any other reason, and we're not interested in buying any other home. Just this one. Can we do it?" The next day we met with Jody to discuss the process and toured the home, we were under contract on the new home and listing our current home to sell within a matter of days! She priced our home perfectly, helped with staging for photos, talked us off a few ledges, and all in all was pure business with a slice of pleasure! She's no non-sense, and exudes knowledge. She always honored our wishes and helped every step of the way! Couldn't recommend her enough!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody and her team did a fantastic job assisting us in purchasing our first home! We were really nervous about the process and did not think we could successfully buy a home. Jody reassured us and worked hard to make sure everything was done properly. From creating a competitive offer, to prompt and professional service with ordering the appraisal and all closing needs, Jody's team made sure we were taken care of. We are now proud homeowners! I am thankful that Jody was referred to us and I will refer everyone I know to Jody and the Anchored Dreams Team.

Experiencia fantástica: Not only did Jody and her team help us find our forever home she helped find us find financing, movers, painters and the realtor to help us sell the old home. It went smooth as silk!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody and her team at Anchored Dreams are amazing. Knowledgeable, professional, fun, and most importantly educated. This is a challenging market, so you need an amazing team to support you and Jody and her team are exactly that team of professionals you need. Thanks Jody for being so awesome and helpful!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody has been our realtor 3 different times, twice buying and once selling. She has been outstanding every time. Jody is very responsive and flexible, working all hours of the day and evening to get things done, answer questions, and coordinate between all the different parties. I couldn’t help but feel like she was more skilled, knowledgeable and understanding than everyone else we had to work with. She had contractors and vendors for almost everything on speed dial—painters, handymen, plumbers. She got our house ready to sell in a day and a half, fully staged and photographed. We sold our house for $55,000 over list price with multiple offers. We also beat out multiple offers to buy our new home, and she knew exactly what it would take to win out over other offers even with a home sale contingency. I highly recommend her and her team!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody and her team listened to our desires when looking for a new home. They were helpful explaining parts of the process that we may have been unclear about. Jody always made sure there was someone from her team available when we needed to ask questions or wanted to see a property. She displayed total professionalism and patience when we were indecisive at times.

Experiencia fantástica: Jody was quick to respond to any issue that popped up and made the purchasing of our new home seem effortless!

Experiencia fantástica: We were so blessed finding Jody. We live out of state and this last December we received a notice from our renters there they were moving so we decided too sell. We haven't lived in the area for many years so our contacts dried up long ago. We googled realtors in the Puyallup area and after checking the reviews we called Jody and she talked with us about our options and reassured us regarding putting our house on the market in winter. From there, Jody was off and running. She brought in painters, carpet installers, etc and continually stayed in contact regarding what we needed to do on our end. Our house sold within a day and half with multiple offers. I would refer her to friends, family and whom ever. She's the best !!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody is a go getter, as we live out of state she handled everything beautifully and in a timely fashion. Would highly recommend her!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody was awesome! She posted our home and sold it in one day. Her staging skills are amazing. We would definitely recommend her for selling or buying a home.

Experiencia fantástica: Jody was a blessing in looking for our new home. She put up with my Wife and I looking at tons of homes all over in multiple cities until we found the right one. She is always professional and does what ever she can to get you in to see a home. I would recommend her to anybody that is looking to buy or sell a home.

Experiencia fantástica: We are a military family that moved back to the US a couple months ago. Jody was very responsive, personable, and went to work for us right away. The market was difficult, but she never gave up and was patient as we went through the various first-time-home-buyer states of panic. She always answered our questions thoroughly, and always went out of her way to show houses. Thank you, Jody!

Experiencia fantástica: I closed on my first home today, in HUGE part, because of the help and support from Jody. From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive, despite it sometimes being bedtime or my concerns seeming completely insane. She was sure to include encouraging words and light-hearted jokes to keep me at ease throughout the whole sometimes-confusing process, genuinely making me laugh out loud at some of the GIFs she sent me when I was feeling anxious. Something I really appreciated was her starting the relationship by asking what my style of communication was and how I preferred to be connected with; whether it was blunt and straight-forward or if I’d rather her sugar-coat things. She respected my request to just lay it all out on the table and was consistent with this type of communication through every step of the way. She and the people she recommended to partner with me all worked really hard to make sure my closing date fell on the date we had originally planned for (which happened to be my birthday!) as she knew how excited I was about it working out that way. When I met her to pick up my keys, she had put together a really great house-warming/birthday gift basket that was full of personalized home items that matched my design aesthetic I told her about way back on day one as well as gifts she picked out perfectly to match my other interests (I seriously don’t know how she knew I was running out of lipstick and needed more). She really listened and bonded with me and helped ease some of the insecurities I had about my young age and being taken seriously during such a pivotal point in my life. Not only were we able to meet, tour, and secure a loan in, what must be, record time but she was also able to set it up so that my first mortgage payment falls exactly a month after my last rent payment. Thank you for making this first experience smooth, Jody! You helped me feel at ease and secure at every step!

Experiencia fantástica: Without any hesitation I would recommend Jody as a realtor. When I first met Jody, my husband and I were looking for a home in Ocean Shores, WA. Jody had been recommend by our friend in Idaho where we lived. My and husband and I found Jody to be very personable with us old folks. She's a great listener, has a good sense of humor and really knows the process here in Washington for buying a home. She found us the perfect home on the lake for our sailboat and she stayed in contact and walked us through the whole process. When we wanted an update, she always got us the info. Jody is a young business woman with a level head and a deep commitment to her clients. She is caring, knowledgeable and down to earth. She has continued to stay in contact after we have moved in to our home. She has checked in to make sure we are doing okay with the move into our new home. She stopped by shortly after we moved in with some really sweet home decorations for our home, totally unexpected. She must have been paying attention to our likes as the gifts fit our tastes and our activities. We love to sail! Sail in the right direction with the wind in your sails with Jody as your realtor captain! Great job and will/would recommend you and your team to friends and family! If you want a awesome realtor and a great team on your home treaure hunt, Jody and her team are super reliable! Thanks Jody!

Experiencia fantástica: I had the pleasure of recently doing a transaction with Jody. She represented the buyer for one of my listings. Jody was very communicative, prompt and professional. She advocated well for her buyer, and ensured great communication with me. It was a smooth transaction. I would love to do more business with Jody!

Experiencia fantástica: There's a lot of steps to buying a home, but Jody was able to clearly explain everything I needed to know, right before I needed to know it, perfect for a first-time home buyer like myself. Jody kept everything moving along smoothly, which made the process stress-free. She was also able to quickly find answers to any questions I might have had, so I was never in the dark about where things were at. If I were to buy/sell again in the future, Jody would be the first call I make.

Experiencia fantástica: Out of the 3 realtors we met with we decided to use Jody because she was a great communicator, understood our plan, and executed the plan well. There were some obstacles along the way, but it was because our rental property we were trying to sell was tenant occupied and we had to abide by COVID protocols. It was a challenge at times, but Jody remained positive in the process and eased our stress levels along the way. When others were discouraging Jody reassured us that we could sell our property at a good price. If you are looking for someone to sell your home call Jody Akerman w/KW Puyallup. You won’t be disappointed!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody helped me and my husband buy our first home and she was awesome to work with! As first time homebuyers there were things that we didn't understand and and bumps in the road on the path towards closing. Jody was empathetic, communicative, and fierce as she advocated for us. She went above and beyond to help us get into our first home. We are so happy to have worked with her!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody was a great agent to work with. She helped my wife and I buy our first house and we couldn’t be more happy! Through ups and downs of the process, she was there to check in and make sure we were taken care of, answering our questions and advocating on our behalf. Her supportiveness of us as first timers stood out to me and made me feel like she had our best interest in mind.

Experiencia fantástica: I sold and bought a home with Jody. She walked thru the home I was selling and gave me tips on what to do to make more money. When the home inspection was done and issues needed fixed, Jody arranged for several contractors to walk thru and give me quotes. I was very appreciative as this can take a long time to find contractors and arrange for the bids. She also did this when the home I was buying needed to be looked at by contractors. Jody brought her own decorations to stage my home prior to pictures and showings. The services that Jody offered were unmatched by any real estate agent that I used in prior home purchases. Thank you Jody for making my transactions smooth. Your help was very much appreciated.

Experiencia fantástica: Jodi and her team are A+ in my book. She was great from start to finish with helping me find the right home and making the process easy and stress free. After closing there were issues that weren't handle properly by the sellers and Jodi quickly made sure to ease my stress by handling it herself and taking care of all the issues. She is friendly, hardworking, and professional. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for an agent that will help you find the right home and make the process as easy as it can be. Many thanks to her and her team!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody did a great job and directed us towards a mortgage provider who could help with our unique situation! She always responds to your texts and calls you on the important stuff! I would highly recommend her!

Experiencia fantástica: We loved using Jody to sell and buy our homes! In a crazy Covid market she wrote us not just one offer, but four in a matter of a couple weeks. We were able to sell our first home in less than 48 hours, and found and went under contract on our new home just a few days later. She made it all happen, and if you are looking for someone who can do it all, and quickly, Jody is your gal!

Experiencia fantástica: We recently sold our home with Jody. From start to finish, she did an excellent job with us...and we were able to sell quickly which was a top priority for us. She really knows how to market your home with top quality photos & videos and getting them out there on all the social & Internet outlets. Towards the end of closing we had some obstacles come up and Jody pulled out all the stops to push the sale through. She was professional throughout the entire process and kept level-headed. We highly recommend her!

Experiencia fantástica: Need your house sold? Call Jody and you’ll get yourself an agent that will take care or absolutely everything, work quickly, and most importantly, take the stress and anxiety out of buying/selling a home. Working with Jody is an absolute pleasure, and she was extremely communicative. She reached out to me with every update, and told me everything I needed to know along the way. She makes selling your home fun and exciting, but ultimately cares about her clients happiness. She got my house listed and planned out a timeline with a 48 hour turn around, referred a great professional photographer, and made all the showings not only safe (complying with Covid-19 guidelines) but easy for potential buyers to see the biggest features that guided them through the house. If you want an agent that you can trust, has great attention to detail, works quickly and efficiently, and actually cares about her clients - then working with Jody satisfies all criteria. Thanks again Jody & Team!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Jody was a pleasant experience. She was very responsive and genuinely cares for her clients. We hope to work with her again soon!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody was an awesome agent from start to end. She was very professional, kind, and patient. Many days I was challenged with our loan, and she listened to me, and calmed me down when I needed it. She was very responsive to texts, phone calls, and emails. Her level of communication is top notch and she is on her game. I’d definitely recommend her to other folks looking to purchase real estate.

Experiencia fantástica: " She helped us find our Dream home. She perfected the search to only the ones we might be interested in to save time. Which we were limited on and listed all options- resale, custom build, and newly built. And we finally found it, she was such a blessing and loaded with patience." Lucinda Watson

Experiencia fantástica: We ran across Jody while looking at a house she was representing as the home's listing agent. Wasn't the house for us, but we ended up starting a dialog with her about our home search based on initial vibe, her strong knowledge of the search area and her non-pushy disposition. She always remained attentive of our needs, gave solid feedback even when it was critical, and remained very responsive throughout the whole process. I'll always look fondly on the month or two we toured Puyallup with Jody in our home hunt...dream building and familiarizing ourselves with the neighborhood through a trustworthy source. You should give her a shot.

Experiencia fantástica: “Jody is a real estate dynamo! She is thoughtful, personable, efficient, and made the home-buying process just about effortless on our part. We attended the open house and moved in in exactly one month. Without hesitation, we whole-heartedly recommend Jody Akerman for any real estate need!”

Experiencia fantástica: You are absolutely AMAZING! Even though I was a little bit of a nightmare, you showed me the same house THREE times. Third time’s the charm right? You are extremely patient, knowledgeable, you listen and you care. I purchased our home over two years ago and you are STILL showing me appreciation! You have made my first home buying experience one I will never forget. That’s why I had you show my in-laws around when they came up from Cali and that is why I hope you are a Realtor forever because I am going to you every single time.

Experiencia fantástica: Jody and her Team were wonderful to work with in the sale of my parents home. She is very professional and efficient in her work. Teaming up with her photographer she staged and presented their home, so that it sold in two weeks 3 years ago. They were excited to sell and retire. I would recommend her to anyone in search of a home or anyone who is selling their home. She and her team are number one for customer service and professionalism. I highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody and her team are amazing to work with! She has helped me personally with Real Estate and many of my client referrals. She loves helping people and takes time to listen to your needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Jody was amazing with us! She gave us clear advise and told us exactly what we needed to do to get our old home ready for market and was there every step of the way with both the sale of our old home and purchase of our dream house. She clearly explained what each step entailed and then what next steps would be, and made everything flow as seamlessly as possible. When a few things weren't going to plan she had no problem with stepping up and advocating for us to make sure that our best interests were met. Even when she went on vacation, she made sure that we were very well taken care of and didn't miss a beat!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody is dedicated to helping families find the right home for the right price. She cares about each and every client, is very professional, and she's fun too. You will have a great experience working with Jody!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody was very helpful, I’m not looking at purchasing a house at this time, but she did help with a CMA on my house so we know what we are looking at when we do decide to sell.

I trust her and she knows the current housing market.

Experiencia fantástica: I had an amazing experience working with Jody. I was a first time home buyer with very little knowledge and she was very patient and answered all my questions. Jody is very helpful and friendly with a hard work ethic. If you are looking to be successful in buying or selling a home. I highly recommend working with Jody Akerman. -Terrion

Experiencia fantástica: Genuine, Very helpful, communicates well, has your best interest at heart, and a some one who really wants to help get where you want to be. Also pretty flexible when it comes to working around other schedules. Would defiantly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Jody not only helped us find our dream home in Woodinville (our first home too) and was amazingly accessible and knowledgeable throughout the process, but she also found a gorgeous home for my parents as they made their big move to the Bothell area. There is no one else I would have trusted to make sure my parents were protected throughout the whole home buying process. Can I give 6 stars?
