Your Weekly Dose of Real Estate News, Open Houses, Listings and More — by Jeff “City” Block

Hi,

Did you know that I am part of an exclusive group within Compass called The Private Client Network (PCN)? It’s made up of the highest caliber agents in various cities throughout the country. Agents who are client-driven, results-oriented, and supremely dedicated. Each with extreme knowledge of their respective local market.

Collectively, we sell over $1.5B in real estate – each year – so our overall influence is unrivaled.

I see the Private Client Network like this. If a client or a friend ever need any real estate assistance outside of the Philly region – buying or selling, I now know an amazing Realtor in that area. I can now set anyone up with the “Jeff City Block” (so to speak) in virtually every real estate market in the United States.

Talking local real estate with my PCN colleagues is amazing. They know their cities as well as I know Philly.

If you want the best real estate experience in any city, please let me know, and I will provide a personal introduction. And if anyone you know is looking to buy or sell real estate throughout the U.S., please put them in touch. They will be most impressed with the result.

Have a great weekend!

Jeff “City” Block
