Hello again out there in Referral Land. We’re back again and this month the message is love of course!

It might be a made up, commercial holiday but it is what it is and we should take advantage of the opportunity – not just this month but always! But enough of that. In real estate news – we have had historically low inventory for the last few months, coupled with extremely low interest rates – leading to a very competitive seller’s market.

So, stop procrastinating and call us now to find out how we can help you maximize your asset before you!

"Hal blake is very knowledgeable in his field. He was always very professional and friendly. I will do business with him again in the future. Mr Blake handled himself very professional, and provided a stress free environment. Mr Blake was very honest and I felt I could trust him he always showed up on time with plenty of information that helped me through the process. He had showed me of the houses in my neighborhood and what they were selling for what that made me make an easy good decision on my pricing my home of 30 years. I felt so comfortable with him I had asked him to be my agent in the purchasing of my new home that I will ask him in the future.

He truly was invaluable during a difficult time for my family. I can't say enough good things and I can’t recommend Hal enough."

Extremely accommodating and thorough from the first time meeting him until day of closing. Any home I wanted to see, he would have a showing booked within minutes. Every call and text was answered and responded to immediately. He was early to every meeting/showing and I could tell he had my Best interest as his priority.he made buying a home a lot less daunting. I’d highly recommend working with him, a true professional."

"Hal is very good and helpful. He found my house in one day and he helped me close in less than 45 days. I was a first time home owner and he helped me step by step and he had no problem answering all of my questions. He was always there when I needed him and even after the house closed he took me to the DMV and helped me get discounts with EZ pass as well as showing me around the neighborhood. He was amazing, I can't say enough good things about him. Any further home buying needs me or my family need I will definitely look to him in the future."

"Mom was getting too elderly to handle her house in the Oakwood section of SI. Hal was professional kind and as others reviewers attest, honest. I myself am a realtor but not in NYC so we listed with Hal and never looked back. He was very helpful in all aspects of the sales and moving process. He never pressured Mom but managed to procure a fair offer which Mom thought over and accepted. If we had any further business to do in SI this broker is the one we would gladly call again."

JS G

"Hal is pleasant and honest to work with...I had worked with him on a previous sale and reached out to him again for this sale. When he priced my house too high, he compensated me with a discounted fee. I have already recommended him to a friend....."

Nancy6626

"Hal did everything he could to streamline the process. He often handled things that he didn’t need to simply to save me a trip into SI. I have been in business for 30 years, and I can confidently say that you will not find ANY better, kinder, more knowledgeable and more professional realtors in the SI area that Hal and Jason Blake. "

Dr Randi Ross

"We hired Hal Blake as our listing agent to sell our house, the result was very speedy and satisfactory. The whole house selling transaction was smooth and painless. Our house was only on the market for a week and sold. We couldn't ask anything better that. Mr Blake delivered what he promised to get the job done in a timely fashion. He is an experienced, honest and professional realtor. We highly recommend Hal Blake to everyone as realty agent. You will be glad that you did."

"Hal Blake was an extraordinary realtor. He gave us so much personal attention, and he was always available when we needed him. He's an avid texter, so he was always reachable. He knew how to price our home to sell (we had an offer in 12 days) and gave good advice on preparing our home to show. What I love most about Hal is his honesty and integrity. He's completely above board, and his no-pressure stance made us comfortable through the whole process, right through our smooth closing. I would recommend him to anyone!"

"I need to extend our gracious thanks to Hal Blake for helping my sisters and I in selling my parent's home. When deciding to put their house on the market, we were guided by Hal's expertise and professionalism. To our surprise Hal sold their house for us in one day. Yes that is correct one day. Hal was instrumental and helpful to both us the seller as well as the buyer. We the seller were stress free because of Hal's assistance. I would highly recommend Hal's service for both a seller and buyer because he truly worked for both sides."

Trish Geraghty

"I would highly recommend Hal to represent in a real estate deal. He spends the time to understand individual requirements and incorporating his local market knowledge focus on what is important for each client. He communicates well and at the right frequency to keep all parties informed each step of the way and offer guidance when needed. There are a lot of real estate agents out there that have rights skills to help with the purchase or sale, Hal, however distinguish himself by providing the white glove service to make it a pleasant experience to offer a comprehensive real estate brokerage solution."
