Even though Jeff is the leader of one of the most well-known realty groups in Center City Philadelphia, he gave us personalized attention, nuanced options, and a detailed plan for the sale of our home. We were impressed with how carefully he shepherded us through the selling process, especially since our home was on the low-middle end of the properties that Jeff sells. Thanks to Jeffs experience and attentiveness, we were able to develop a plan for listing our house that was manageable for our young family as we prepared to move out of the Philadelphia area. Ultimately, we met all of our priorities in the sale of our home, and the process was smooth thanks to Jeff and his incredible team. We couldnt recommend him highly enough and will refer him to friends and family.

Jeff Block and his team at Compass sold our condo recently. All interactions with Jeff and his team were professional and follow-through was excellent. Jeff set our expectations and provided sound advice on preparing our condo for sale. In addition, in my previous role at the condo, I have dealt with Jeff and his team many times over the past 7 years, and was always impressed with their knowledge and dedication. I would work with Jeff again!

I owned my house in Philadelphia for over 15 years and one of the few ways that I passively kept track of the potential appreciation in my homes value was by reading the periodic postcard direct mailings that I would receive from Jeff Block marketing his brokerage offerings. While I didnt consider selling my property for the longest, I always told myself, partially due to those mailings, that I would give Jeff Block the first look at being my broker if I ever did decide to put my property on the market. Well, I came to that decision this year. And I chose Jeff Block and his team to represent me. He did not disappoint.Jeff Block and his team at Compass were invaluable partners to me throughout the home selling process. Before starting, I thought the process would end up being complex, lengthy and burdensome. It turned out to be the exact opposite. Jeff and his team made everything turnkey and as seamless as possible, from honing in on the right price to list to securing loans and contractors to prep the house ahead of putting it on the market to handling the paperwork into final settlement. Jeff and his team offered expert guidance for every question I had and were the epitome of professionalism from end to end. Additionally, he and his team were always accessible and always had my best interests at heart in representing me to the eventual buyer. I cant speak more highly of the experience around selling my home with Jeff City Block and his Compass team; it was the best decision I could have made.

Jeff and his team are absolutely the best. They made the process of selling my condo in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia extremely easy. I highly recommend him to anyone wishing to sell or buy real estate in the Philly area. His team did a fantastic job getting my unit move in ready, took professional photographs and did an excellent job with staging, marketing and showing the unit. All we had to do was move out of the condo and he took care of the rest! We ended up getting multiple offers for our condo within 30 days and Jeff helped negotiate a very good contract.

Jeff and his team took remarkably good care of us during the preparation and sale of our house. If he wasnt in real estate, he would be an excellent therapist! He clearly laid out options, left the decision making to us, and then moved forward with expertly and swiftly. He and his team were in regular communication with us--answering our questions, updating information, forwarding and explaining the paperwork, keeping us on task in a timely fashion. We cannot give him a higher recommendation than most excellent.

Amazing Brokerage!Made the whole process from A to Z enjoyable, relaxingand trouble-free and at the same time maximized the value of the property that I sold.Would highly recommend Jeff and his team.

We originally listed our property with another agent and the property sat on the market. When we did get an offer, it was very low, but we accepted anyway. The deal fell apart due to poor handling of negotiations. We then did some research and came across Jeff and liked the amount of business he was doing in University city, so we spoke to him next. Our property was a unique situation where it was a previous home, turned business, and we also owned the other half of the Victorian twin. After talking with Jeff we decided to list both sides of a twin since its a really unique setup. Jeff recommended listing both sides in three ways, residential, commercial and multi family. He had really nice marketing and got lots of buyers through and his strategy paid off.... we ended up selling both properties to one buyer, which was ideal. And at a very solid price, much better than the previous offer that fell apart. Then came the pandemic, shut-downs, etc, and while this caused both expected delays and financing complications, among other things, Jeff saw all this through and got us to closing. We own some more properties and moving forward, Jeff will be our first call. Thank you! (the attached photo is one I took of the property)

My wife and I had been trying to sell our house in Center City for almost 6 months when we met Jeff. Despite working with a talented real estate agent, we had not made the progress we had expected. Our lack of success and frustration with the process had us questioning many things: was it a problem with our listing price, our understanding of the market, or sheer luck? These questions and concerns drove us to make a change with our real estate representation and led us to Jeff and the City Block Team.From the beginning, Jeff showed his high level of experience and skill in real estate. He was very candid and honest in both his views on how best to list our house and his recommendations for how to maximize its value. As we were not in the area anymore, Jeff’s ability (along with his great team member Greg) to coordinate services like minor upgrades and home staging was crucial in preparing the house for sale.When we finally listed our house, we quickly received several offers, an enviable position to be in. Jeff guided us through this process and we ultimately accepted an offer significantly above our asking price. From there, City Block Team (specifically Katrina) took us through the closing efficiently. We were able to finalize our sale from afar.Our home sale process was certainly a longer journey than we initially anticipated, but thanks to the expertise and professionalism of Jeff Block and the City Block Team, we were able to finish it positively. We would definitely recommend Jeff to future buyers and sellers!

Jeff “City” Block did everything right. A “10” in our book. From our first talk with Jeff, his honest, straight forward, professional style instilled immediate trust and confidence. He’s smart, business savvy, meticulous and very detail oriented. He has great instincts and applies his “big picture” approach with a confident sense of what’s needed to achieve his client’s goals. Jeff anticipates every possibility and leaves no stone unturned. Throughout the process, Jeff listened and heard who we were and what our objectives were. There was no issue too small to discuss or consider. His attention to us made us feel like we were “top of mind” for him, which was very comforting during this stressful time. Jeff was always focussed on our goals and on reality and helped us do the same. His attentiveness and wisdom (without ever puffing or overselling) enabled us to relax because we knew we had made an excellent choice. We were 100% pleased to be represented by such a first class professional at the top of his game.Michael and EllenPhiladelphia4/1/21

There is a reason Jeff’s reputation is what it is. Jeff was at the top of my list of realtors I wanted to sell my house and he did not disappoint. We went to put the property on the market right when Covid hit and the virtual access to the property during the down showing period was incredible. Once showings started we had a steady flow of showings and several parties were interested in the home. Once under contract his ability to navigate through the inspection and appraisal process to get to closing for us was incredible. Hands down one of, if not the best realtor in the city.

Jeff is simply the best. He provides excellent, straightforward advice - even things you, as the owner, don’t want to hear. He is thoughtful and listens. Given his years of experience, he has tremendous market knowledge which is a huge asset for his clients. He provided us with a three part strategy on how to sell our home. Luckily for us, his first strategy proved successful. Given the breadth of his business, Jeff has an excellent team including Greg and Katrina, who keep the process moving. Jeff also provided strong advice during the negotiations as well as how to best prepare the house for the walk through. I could not be more pleased with the quality and outcome of Jeff and the City Block team.

Great end-to-end experience with Jeff City Block and his team (especially including concierge service) in selling our Wash West house of 25 years. Everything about the sale was done professionally, expeditiously, and fully to our expectations. Highly recommend.

Jeff and team were great- helped us sell in a crazy market!

Jeff and his team are knowledgeable, offer advice, and always available.

Handled a complicated situation with quality people. We could not have sold the home without him.

Jeff and his team provide excellent service. When I first came to Jeff about selling my parents home, we had no idea about covid or what 2020 would bring. Fast forward a few months, and Jeff had worked hard to advise and guide me through the sale despite all the uncertainty. From support and help facilitating some needed work on the house, advice on dealing with the crazy coronavirus market, to successfully navigating me through the sale, Jeff was helpful and available. His combination of market knowledge, flexibility, and a great support staff cant be topped, and I would recommend the City Block Team to anyone!

Jeff sold our parents home for $200,000 above other brokers asking prices. He knows the market, the propertys value and how to sell it. He and his team handled everything smoothly, pleasantly and professionally. Wed use them again in a minute.

Jeff made selling my condo breeze. He is a Philly real estate expert. I trusted his guidance 100% from when to list the property to price point. He was patient with my questions and also added a level of humor. The whole process was seamless. I highly recommend Jeff and his team!

Succinctly put, we cannot possibly recommend Jeff and the City Block Team highly enough. They were phenomenal to work with. From initial pricing review, to pre-sale renovations, to staging, listing, showings, offers, inspection, and closing, Jeff’s team made a normally stressful and anxiety-ridden experience seem seamless and easy. Selling our house in the midst of the COVID Pandemic was stressful enough, but our neighborhood was also experiencing a historically low inventory, so the recommended pricing we received from prospective agents was wildly different. However, Jeff’s recommendation came with volumes of data to justify his number, and it turned out to be perfectly placed, as we sold our house for considerably more than asking price. Jeff also made himself available to us 24/7, and dealt with all of our questions during the entire process; by the time we closed, we felt like Jeff was a close personal friend! If you are looking to sell your house, the City Block Team is ABSOLUTELY the right choice!

Over the years I’ve sold several residences in various parts of the country as a result of job relocations. Jeff is exceptional among the numerous realtors that I have worked with over the years. First, he was tenacious and had an unswerving dedication to selling my home at a fair price. He was highly conscientious. He would frequently call me late in the evening or early in the morning for briefings, and exceptional with regard to following-up. Second, he always respected my views and used my suggestions when they helped in selling my home expeditiously. Third, he is an excellent negotiator and purveyor of real estate. He is extremely resourceful. His marketing strategies and skills are exceptional in using the latest technology coupled with his exemplary interpersonal skills. Integrity is one of his many qualities that makes him successful. Thanks to Jeff and his fantastic team my home sold in 2 weeks!

We couldnt be happier with our experience with Jeff. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout our home sale process, and he definitely added significant value to a relatively complex transaction. Jeff skillfully guided us throughout the process, and we would absolutely use him again and highly recommend him to all of our family and friends.

Jeff got us the amount we wanted for our house of 20+ years in a very short amount of time (four days to sell). He was always in touch when we needed him and gave specific advice that improved our house to move the house quickly. We weighed Jeffs initial proposal on our house against other realtors and felt confident that he would deliver. There were no disappointments throughout the process from hiring him to closing. Each of his team members were as competent and professional as he was, and great to work with. Thank you Jeff and team!

I had a very good experience buying a house with Jeffs help. We were fairly naive, nervous first-time buyers. He had an extremely deep knowledge of the neighborhood where we were looking (West Philadelphia). Id even say he dominates that market. He was always available when we needed his help, and he never wasted our time. He was even available to talk on nights and weekends. I never felt like he was pushing us, but when we asked for his honest opinion, he gave it. I really liked how aggressive he was when fighting on our behalf with the seller and sellers agent. Would definitely use him again.

Great experience working with Jeff and his team especially having no luck with other realtors. He was very professional and highly motivated for us! His team is also worthy of mention and they were also professional, kind, courteous and always available. Jeff and his team did a great job and had an offer two days after posting the listing with professional photos and accurate descriptions. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone.

Jeff and his team made selling our home burden- and care-free. They did everything. Jeff’s guidance was always exactly on-point, as he knows the market and process completely. Jeff priced our home right, and I couldn’t imagine our home being marketed better. These are very good people, just great to work with. I would absolutely work with Jeff and his team again, in fact I wouldn’t work with another agent. Highly recommended!

Im so grateful I was able to work with Jeff for both selling my home and purchasing a new one. I wanted a realtor who was very experienced, very knowledgable, very effective, and very available. A tall order. I didnt actually hope to find some who met all those criteria, but I did. And then some. Working with Jeff made an otherwise overwhelming process very clear, positive, and--honestly--pretty easy.

Jeff was amazing. The entire process was easy, and this was thanks to the professionalism, responsiveness, and consideration of Jeff and his team. My home was listed on a Thursday, and I accepted an offer on the following Tuesday. Any bumps in the process were easily smoothed over by Jeff. The entire negotiation between the buyer and myself was cordial. I think that a large part of this is due to Jeffs approach. All of my real estate referrals now go to Jeff Block.

Jeff was recommended by a friend. He sold our old stone house in Chestnut Hill and helped us find a loft in Center City. With his lawyerly background he was an excellent advisor and a skilled negotiator. He listened to our needs and helped us set realistic goals. Selling a 100-year-old house can be tricky and Jeff guided us through the process. He was helpful in finding various building trades along the way. A master realtor.

Jeff is truly professional and knowledgeable of the housing market in Philadelphia. He is a great real estate agent who has integrity, commitment, and a great heart, which are qualities I never expected to find in a realtor.Jeff was honest about challenges with selling my multi-unit house in west Philadelphia, and extremely helpful when it came down to getting the nitty gritty done to prepare the place for showings and get the highest bid. Being fairly new to the real estate market, I always felt comfortable asking him questions and trusted that he would steer me right.I highly recommend working with Jeff, as I would not hesitate to work with him again should I have a chance in the future to sell or purchase another property in Philadelphia.

From the beginning of the process, Jeff was a great listener to figure out what we needed in terms of selling our beloved house and buying a smaller one still in our neighborhood. He knew the neighborhood (University City) very well and offered very helpful advice on both the selling and buying end. He and his team assisted us in a comprehensive way throughout all the negotiations and paperwork. We highly recommend them!

Jeff did a fantastic job selling our house in West Philly. We were very pleased with the speed of the transaction: we had an agreement of sale within two weeks of the listing, and settlement occurred within two months. His negotiation advice was extremely helpful. Jeff and his team were very professional and responsive, and they really made the process go smoothly.

We love Jeff and the City Block Team! We have been doing business with them for many years and they consistently achieve great results. I love that they have a wealth of experience and always stay on top of the details.

Excellent service, attentive to details, and extremely accommodating of our unique circumstances as we moved overseas before the home was put on the market. Jeff and his team are very professional and impressed at every turn. I will continue to recommend him to anyone looking to sell a home in Philadelphia.

It was a pleasure to work with Jeff and his team when selling my house in University City. Jeff knows the market extremely well, and helped me make informed decisions about how to prepare the property for sale, select the right sales price, evaluate buyer proposals and negotiate all the details of the sale. Jeff listened to my concerns and tailored the sales strategy to strike the right balance between a good price and a fast sale, just as I had requested. He and his team (especially Moira) were quick to respond to any questions, kept me informed about important milestones, and stayed on top of every part of the process, especially when mortgage company shenanigans threatened to derail things in the 11th hour. I couldnt be more satisfied with the outcome!

Jeff and his team exceeded expectations in terms of professionalism, knowledge and guidance for the process. He was responsive, courteous and decisive. I was only selling, not buying, but could not have asked for more

Jeff Block is a super professional, energetic and caring realtor. With Jeffs help and knowledge, our house got multiple offers within a week. We are so grateful to him and his amazing team for the smooth and trouble-free sale of our house. We most enthusiastically recommend Jeff and his team as your first choice realtor in Philadelphia.

Team fantastic at replying to emails and phone calls. Helpful advice when getting the home ready for sale. Did a great job handling a very difficult buyer. Im happy we had Jeff on our side.

Very knowledgeable sales team they really know center city. They found me the town house of my dreams! I had high expectations and they were able to exceed my expectations.

Jeff and his team were great at understanding the market and our needs when looking for a new family home. He was very patient throughout our decision-making process and would recommend him and his team to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in Philadelphia.

Jeff Block and his team (with a special nod to Moira McFadden) ushered us into and out of a highly successful sale of our house. Jeff’s experience and judgment and his extensive and highly professional staff were essential in arriving at an offering and a presentation of the property that resulted in an unexpectely remunerative, trouble-free, and rapid agreement of sale and final settlement—and as pain-free as leaving a beloved 31-year homestead could be.

Well advertised on houses around the city.

Jeff sold my new construction row in University in no time. He and Carrie are true professionals. Ill hire them again when I flip my next house!

Jeff is the superman of relators. He and his team did an excellent job of selling my grandmothers house. Under the circumstances, while still grieving the death of grandmother, Jeff was able to coordinate every aspect of the sale of the house. Whether it was organizing a repair, or generally preparing the house for sale, Jeff was instrumental in organizing all of the efforts to get things done. He was a great communicator and answered all of my questions in a timely fashion. He was considerate when scheduling and arranging appointments which was very important to me in my line of work. In my experience in purchasing a home, I am accustomed to the relator placing photos on a site and waiting for leads. Jeff did much more than that. As my representative, Jeff not only met, but also exceeded my expectation. I am certain that I will continue a professional relationship with Jeff “City” Block.

They helped us sell our condo in Philly. Truly a fantastic team. Efficient and did a great job.

We love Jeff and his team! Weve used him many times to help us sell and buy homes.... cant go wrong with jeff city block!

Jeff was a huge help selling our house. Very happy with his level of service.

They wouldnt answer my calls and I was hung up on twice terrible experience with my first time interacting and them showing me how they operate.
