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! JOHN R. | RYAN R. Sold 48XX Walton Avenue (2022), 49XX Hazel Avenue (2022), 45XX Springfield Avenue (2021), 6XX S 42nd Street (2021), 5XX S 45th (2020), & 5XX S 45th (2020) 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’ve now sold two houses, and bought one, with Jeff Block. Enough said! He and his team are efficient, attentive to detail, good-humored, and generous. They are experts at listing a house (pricing, presentation, negotiating) and at ensuring a smooth settlement process for all concerned. Highly recommended to sellers and buyers.

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. I found him to be very knowledgeable about the ever-shifting market with its neighborhood nuances, different price points, interpreting technical reports, decision-making about preparation for listing and disclosure completion. 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. 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!!
