"Hal has been amazing and came through big time for my family. He even helped us get a violation dismissed that would have been a problem and would have held up the sale of my family's home. 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."

"Mr. Blake is a professional who is truly knowledgeable in real estate and all aspects of selling and has a lot of valuable resources; he is reliable, responsible, punctual, honest, attentive, never pushy and an absolute pleasure to work with. Honestly, he is the last realtor that I really trust and pleasure to deal with. He guided us through every single step of the way, was always available to answer any questions and give his own professional and honest opinion, and made this whole process a very pleasurable and smooth experience. He absolutely exceeded our expectations and we truly think that if it wasn't for him we never sell our house the price we want.

"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."

Many were very professional, But when I was contacted by Hal Blake and his son, They came to my home and were not only very Professional and personable , His knowledge of home values, current and past sales of home in my area was First Class.

"This was my first time buying a home, and Hal couldn’t have been better. He walked me through the process with true expertise, honesty and clarity. 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."

"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."

"Hal and Jason are the best agents in business. They were available day and night continuously providing remarkable advice throughout each step of the process. From finding a property that suited my families needs, to expanding our search within areas that we otherwise would never have explored and always consulting in the same thoughtful manner, on the countless properties we visited, is a level of service that is unparalleled. We will be sure to continue recommending them to all family and friends who need a realtor they can be sure to count on and trust!"
