ZillowVERIFIEDSelling an inherited estate is not for the faint of heartaEUR"and we truly couldnt have done it without our realtors, Al Block and his son Haden Block. From day one, he went above and beyond in every possible way. This wasnt a simple saleaEUR"there were unexpected challenges, emotional moments, and more moving parts than we ever anticipated. Through it all, Al and Haden were patient, steady, and incredibly hands-on. They helped us navigate repairs, prep the home for market, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. More than that, they guided us through each step with clarity and care, which made a stressful and emotional process feel manageable. We always felt supported, informed, and genuinely looked out for. If youre dealing with an estate or anything even slightly complicated, this is the person you want in your corner. Truly grateful for everything Al and Haden did to get us through it.
ZillowVERIFIEDAl helped us buy a condo and sell our home, which we had owned for 31 years. Our hope was to find a ranch condo which had the laundry on the same level as the master bedroom. We wanted the condo to be close to where our daughter and son-in-law live. We hoped to be able to sell our home for more than the cost of the condo. Al and Haden Block helped us to find a lovely condo, which we are now enjoying. Al gave us excellent financial advice regarding how to buy the condo and sell our home in an efficient and profitable manner. Upon inspection, there were some items that needed attention in the home we were selling and some cleaning that needed attention in the condo we bought. Al was able to recommend excellent professionals that were able to help us in each situation. We received Al Block's and Haden Block's name from our daughter and another family member as Al and Haden had helped each of them with recent real estate transactions. We couldn't be happier.
ZillowVERIFIEDAl was truly exceptional. I have purchased several homes and properties, and never encountered an agent who undertook my family's property transaction with so much energy, thoroughness and responsiveness. This was not an easy property to prepare and sell, and he showed incredible expertise throughout the process. I highly recommend Al Block and his team.
ZillowVERIFIEDFrom our initial phone call until we had our check in hand and even afterwards, Al Block was a consummate professional. He provided excellent recommendations that I am sure resulted in a significant increase in the selling price and made the process far less complex than we anticipated. He was respectful of our time and of our privacy. I could not possibly recommend him any more highly and have already shared his name with numerous friends and colleagues.
ZillowVERIFIEDAl Block handled the sale of the home of my late brother-in-law in Macomb, Michigan this past Winter. My wife (acting as personal representative) and I live over 100 miles away, which made the logistics quite difficult. Al and his son, Haden, were the perfect solution to our problem. Their experienced, professional and friendly assistance throughout the process was invaluable. Thanks to their excellent market strategy, commitment and follow-through, the home was sold in a little over two weeks to a satisfied new owner, and at a higher price than we had expected. And, with very little effort or involvement necessary on our part. We would highly recommend the services of Al & Haden Block to anyone looking for optimum value in the sale or purchase of real estate.
ZillowVERIFIEDFrom the moment I contacted Al Block when I decided to sell my house, I was thoroughly impressed! Al paid close attention to every detail regarding the entire process! He was patient with my naivety and was able to solve every problem that appeared with ease. I highly recommend Al Block and have every intention of utilizing his expertise with future real estate sales/purchases.
ZillowVERIFIEDVery helpful throughout the whole process. Constantly goes above and beyond to help you get the house you're looking for. Knows what he is doing and was able to help us get the most out of our money. Also great at helping sell homes. Was able to get offers within 2 days of posting our condo for sale and had it sold in under a month.
ZillowVERIFIEDAl was highly recommended by our selling Broker in Traverse City as the right person to find us a house in the Detroit area. We were not disappointed. We were fortunate to have him working with Haden Block, and they both worked very hard on our behalf. Having been a salesperson, myself, I know that you can better judge a salesperson by how they handle problems. We had a major problem arise with a house under which we had signed a contract. Their advise to get a sewer inspection was more than helpful. They resolved our problem quickly and we found a better house in the neighborhood within a week, and better suited to our budget!Knowledgeable, Experienced and highly skilled in negotiations. We highly recommend.
ZillowVERIFIEDAl Block and Haden Block were WONDERFUL realtors to work with when my husband and I were searching for our first home. They were always available to answer questions, were honest and knowledgeable of properties, and made buying a home a breeze. When closing on the house, they helped to break down terminology that I was unfamiliar with, as well as providing advise when it came to inspections/house issues. I have recommend their services to a close friend and would recommend them to anyone! Thanks again Haden and Al!!
ZillowVERIFIEDChoosing Al Block as our realtor was a great decision. As first time home buyers we needed someone with knowledge and experience to guide us through the process. He made the home buying experience so simple. We got a home we love at a great price. Al looked out for our best interests when we were looking for our home and when it came time for the inspection and closing. He truly made us feel like we were his top priority. I would highly recommend Al Block if you are buying or selling your home.
ZillowVERIFIEDYou couldn't ask for more in a realtor than Al Block. He is responsive, knowledgeable, and personable. As a first time home buyer I was unfamiliar with the process. Al met with me, went over everything I could expect, what my budget was, where I was interested in looking, and what I could reasonably expect in that area. The area I wanted to buy in was one where homes sell very quickly and he accommodated requests to see homes often on the same day they went up for sale. When I visited homes he used his nearly 3 decades of experience to point out things I should be looking at as a potential buyer when viewing a home. When the time came to make an offer Al was invaluable in his recommendations on what the home was reasonably worth and made my offer as competitive as possible. He really went to bat for me and I ended up with a beautiful home that appraised in the range of my offer. I will absolutely use Al again in the future and would recommend him to anyone that's looking for a terrific realtor!
ZillowVERIFIEDMr. Block is the best at what he does and goes beyond what needs to be done in helping us sell our home , I recommend him to anyone who feels , there is no hope in selling their property and getting a decent price . He helped us get hope back in our messed up financial situation , and him and his son kept us encouraged in dealing with the ups and downs of selling a property . And is also now trying to help us find a new home
ZillowVERIFIEDAl is simply the best! My wife and I were first time homebuyers - which if you are in the same situation - you know can be a struggle. However, Al was able to help my wife and I secure the most beautiful home on the BLOCK! We were up against multiple offers in St. Clair Shores on a bidding window of just 2 days - Al created leverage for us by composing a strong offer despite our lower ($10K) down payment. My wife and I couldn't be happier! Also, I actually worked at RE/MAX First (Al's agency) during college and I can personally vouch that Al is the real deal - extremely honest, friendly, humble, and genuine - you simply won't find anyone better!!!
ZillowVERIFIEDAn exceptional father/son team that knows the business inside out! Excellent service all around. Responds to all forms of communication quickly. Positive experience as a purchaser of one of his listings and another great experience as our listing agent. Goes above and beyond to represent your best interests. Highly skilled in vetting offers. Would highly recommend!
ZillowVERIFIEDI was referred to Al Block from a friend of mine who is in Real Estate in Florida. I trust her and her judgement and after getting her referral I met with Al Block. He was very professional and polite. He explained in detail what route he was taking to sell my house. He explained how he was going to sell it and I was pleased.It was sold in three weeks. I did not have to do anything or look up records as he had done all this. I highly recommend Al Block for future buyers and sellers.
ZillowVERIFIEDAl Block has sold 2 other houses for us in the past. When my brother passed, we didn't hesitate who we wanted to sell that house. He explained everything to a T and kept us informed throughout the entire process. We were not disappointed with having Al as our Realtor Agent again.

ZillowVERIFIEDExceptional agent with appraisal and home inspection skills that are rare among realtors. His knowledge and experience make him elite. In my most recent sale, he had to correct many errors the buyer's agent made.
ZillowVERIFIEDDon't pass up the opportunity to use Al Block for all your property buying and sales. We have used Al for three realestate transactions and all have gone extremely well. Haden (Al's Addistant) is also great to work with.
ZillowVERIFIEDI would highly recommend Al Block. Al has outstanding professional skills and experience. We were very happy to have him as our agent in the sale of my deceased mother's home with five siblings as sellers and a bit more complicated probate process. He was diligent in making sure we received the best price (our asking price!) and swiftly moved us through the whole process of selling our mother's home. I am one satisfied client and would use his services again. Al Block definitely knows what he is doing, his reputation precedes him, and I am happy to refer him to anyone looking for a top notch agent.
ZillowVERIFIEDAl Block helped us buy our first house. He easily explained the home-buying process, understood our needs, and was readily available for viewing houses with us. He also helped us negotiate a lower offer for the home we are living in today. For these reasons I will always recommend Al.
ZillowVERIFIEDWhere Can I start, Al Block did an amazing job with the process of home buying. He made the process simple and easy, explaining everything along the way. He kept in great contact with us, kept us up to date on status of process. If I had any questions he was just a Call/Email away, and he was prompt at returning calls. I have already recommended him to close friends and family, I extend that recommendation to anyone looking for a first-class realtor.
ZillowVERIFIEDAl Block is an excellent realtor. He listens to your ideas and requests and follows through. He is honest, knowledgeable, caring, and 100% trustworthy.

He ensured all details were covered before, during, and even after leaving the closing table. We made the right decision and I would recommend him in a heartbeat!
ZillowVERIFIEDGreg and I wanted to thank you for all your efforts in the selling and closing of the Mandarin condo. We know that the conservatorship added another dimension to the sale and you handled it very well. We are also grateful that you were willing to babysit everyone involved in this process. Your knowledge and patience is extensive and were key factors in getting this done.If at any time in the future we have property to buy or sell, you can be sure you'll be our first choice.
ZillowVERIFIEDI would definitely recommend Al Block to anyone that is searching for a house or trying to sell. He is very professional and always available to answer questions by phone. His knowledge of the processes involved in buying and selling is extensive. He was able to answer all questions I had about the area I was buying in. What I appreciated most was how hard he worked to keep the cost down for me.
