Common questions about buying, renting, and working with BLOCK.
What areas does BLOCK operate in? +
We specialize in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens — covering neighborhoods from Tribeca and the West Village to Williamsburg and Long Island City. Our agents have deep knowledge of each market.
Do you charge buyer's agent fees? +
On most transactions, our buyer's agent fee is covered by the seller. We'll always be upfront about any costs before you commit to anything. No surprises.
How do I schedule a property viewing? +
You can book a viewing directly through our website, call our office, or reach out to any of our agents. We offer same-day viewings Monday through Saturday for most active listings.
Do you handle rentals as well as sales? +
Yes — we manage both rental and purchase transactions. Whether you're looking to rent a loft for 12 months or buy a penthouse outright, our team handles both with the same level of care.
What is an off-market listing? +
Off-market listings are properties for sale that haven't been publicly listed on portals like Zillow or StreetEasy. BLOCK clients get exclusive early access through our seller network — often before anyone else knows a property is available.
Can I sell my property through BLOCK? +
Absolutely. We offer full-service listing representation including professional photography, 3D virtual tours, and targeted marketing to qualified buyers. Contact us for a free property valuation.
How long does a typical transaction take? +
Most purchases close within 30–90 days depending on financing and the complexity of the deal. Rentals typically move faster — most clients are signed and move-in ready within 1–2 weeks.
