My husband and I moved abroad and wanted to make sure selling the house from afar was going to be as hassle free as possible. So, I chose Jeff and team to sell my house because I have seen up close how quickly a deal can spin out of control. As his former transaction coordinator I knew if anything was going to happen he would be there to help negotiate and navigate us. Well, some things did happen. We discussed with Jeff our options and next moves. He was patient and understanding and provided us his professional opinion and listened to our goal- get it sold ASAP. Mission accomplished thanks to Jeff, Greg, Shelby and Shantih!

March 7, 2024 Review for Jeff Block
I cannot describe how smoothly and expertly Jeff and his team shepherded the process of selling my Center City home this winter! When I had finally decided that ‘it was time’ to downsize to something smaller, I reached out to him first because of a previous positive experience some years ago when he sold a small rental property that I co-owned. I was not disappointed. Jeff loves his work; is well-known, well-connected and highly respected by vendors as well as agents and lenders and previous buyers and sellers who return to him. I found him to be very knowledgeable about the ever-shifting market with its neighborhood and seasonal nuances, different price points with potential tradeoffs, interpreting technical reports, decision-making about preparation for listing and disclosure completion. When requested, he made recommends from a bevy of skilled and reputable vendors for assisting me with move management and assessing, managing and/or repairing various systems --from electrical to plumbing to staging. He skillfully interpreted vendor evaluations and proposals, inspection reports and legalese. I always found him to be positive and energized, straightforward, and open to (and patient with) questions to which he responded quickly and in ways which I-- as an older layperson-- could understand. He and/or one of his team were always available to me. He made sure we were ‘all on the same page’ and that preparation was progressing well, making ‘settlement’ itself almost anticlimactic!! Finally, Jeff was clearly supportive and respectful of my goals as seller. His reputation and the relationships he has built over time have resulted in a quite a list of folks who return to him for help in buying their next property. This worked out well for me: when he showed my property privately, prior to its being listed, it sold quickly and at the asking price, and without the need for staging! I recommend him highly and without reservation for your real estate needs!!

Jeff walked us through a recent home purchase with good advice, humor, and competence. He was helpful and great to work with throughout the entire process. I was very pleased at how he communicated with us and negotiated with the sellers. I also have high praise for his transaction coordinator Shelby, who was invaluable during a rather complicated inspections process. Highly recommended.

We used Jeff both to buy and sell a house in Northern Liberties and highly recommend him! In helping us buy, he understood well what we were looking for and always got us quickly in to see the listings we wanted to see. He helped us assess each property and was a trusted, critical eye in pointing out the strengths and challenges in each. We especially appreciated that he was not pushing us into anything, but instead was a helpful partner. He was extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhoods where we were looking, down to each street and block. He was also knowledgeable about specific builders and projects. With his guidance we bought a perfect house for us – within our budget, exceeding our needs, on a great block in a great neighborhood. When it was time to sell he was just as good. He helped us present our house in its best possible light. He advised us on what repairs and refreshing we should do to show the house well, and made the process painless by helping us find people to do the work we needed. Everyone on his team is professional and easy to work with. Our house sold quickly, with multiple offers at and above ask and above comps in the area. We couldn’t have been happier with the process and the result!

We used Jeff and his team to sell two condo units in the Art Museum area. His team is very professional and very good about getting back to you when questions arise. Greg Zaro and Shelby were always extremely helpful. He has a design team that helps stage your units, if you desire. Shantih Brando with InsideOut Staging was excellent.
We used Jeff because for the previous few years, we had received a listing of homes that were comparable to the homes we eventually decided to sell. I would highly recommend.

The City Block Team did a great job pointing out what had to be repaired and remodeled to make our house ready for sale. They did not have us cut corners and as a result we did excellent remodeling, even if it cost more than we originally planned for. Once we were ready to list the house sold in 4 days - showing that their advice was right on target. The City Block team arranged for all settlement related negotiations and items and settlement went without a hitch. Thank you City Block Team!

We knew of Jeff through his marketing so when we began to consider moving from Fairmount, I contacted him. He met with us, answered every question, listened carefully, toured our home, and advised us there was no rush: “Whenever you’re ready, I’m ready.”
That could be the short summary of working with Jeff as our realtor. No matter when or what, he was ready: accessible, willing to talk through any concerns, provide context and offer guidance – always with infectious enthusiasm. At all times, we knew he had our backs; we knew his deep experience in the field meant we were represented by the best.
Jeff’s attention to detail and interpersonal skills kept us on track. His experience guided us through the process of evaluating an offer, explaining our options, and covering every base with the buyers’ agent to make us comfortable.
Interactions with other members of Jeff’s team were exceptional, too. Listing coordinator, transaction coordinator, operations coordinator – all were wonderful to deal with and clearly share his commitment to excellence.
Lastly, whether you are new to Philadelphia or have always been here, Jeff’s blog about the city, ATB (Around the Block) is a treasure not to be missed.
Thank you, Jeff.

Honestly, I can't say enough how impressed we were with Jeff and his team. From start to finish, they were complete professionals. Jeff guided us through the process for getting our house ready for sale, once that was complete, he had a professional photographer come in to take pictures of the house. Our home went on the market around the first of March and we received an offer in early April and the house closed on June 1st. This was an incredible journey for us, a journey that we were fortunate to take with Jeff City Block and his amazing team.

We first met with Jeff to discuss listing our home, although we were not ready to sell quite yet. He suggested we add our home to a Private Exclusive posting on the Compass website so that all Compass agents would know that our home was coming soon. We agreed. Luckily, with this approach, we were able to find a buyer even before we posted on the MLS and we were able to negotiate, with Jeff's help, a move out date that suited both parties. Jeff and his team were very responsive and answered all our questions and also helped us sell some of our furniture to the new buyers. We highly recommend Jeff and his team if you are looking for an agent.

Jeff "City" Block of Compass is very knowledgeable, as well as down to earth real estate agent, Professional and awesome. He managed our buying an apartment and selling our home of 50 years without any stress for us. Jeff was available by phone any time we had questions or concerns. He made planning very simple and we sold our house to the first person who came to see it, who offered our asking price, before it went on the market. Really, there was no hassle for us in either the buying or selling experience. Highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Philadelphia.

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 Jeff's 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 couldn't recommend him highly enough and will refer him to friends and family.

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 home's value was by reading the periodic postcard direct mailings that I would receive from Jeff Block marketing his brokerage offerings. While I didn't 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 can't 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.

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 “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.

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!

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 it's 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)

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 can't be topped, and I would recommend the City Block Team to anyone!

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.

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!

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 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

I had a very good experience buying a house with Jeff's help. We were fairly naive, nervous first-time buyers. He had an extremely deep knowledge of the neighborhood where we were looking (West Philadelphia). I'd 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 seller's agent. Would definitely use him again.

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!

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.

I'm 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 didn't 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 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.

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 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.

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 couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome!

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.

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 Jeff's approach. All of my real estate referrals now go to Jeff Block.
