Hi, we’re Julie and Ted Block!
Our work as a real estate team is an extension of the life we have built together. Through our friendship since middle school, over a decade of marriage, and the joys of raising four kids, we’ve learned a lot about teamwork!
Our experience investing in real estate and renovating our own homes helps us understand not only how a house works, but also how it will be lived in. We believe that in addition to your home being the foundation of your lifestyle, owning property is a powerful tool to build wealth, and we treat your investment as our own.
We love Pittsburgh, and we believe when great people love the place they live, great things will happen.
Our Mission
We chose to build our career in real estate so we could best collaborate with neighbors and community development partners to make the eastern neighborhoods of Pittsburgh the best place for our children to live.
Our greatest joy is meeting people and hearing their own goals, and as our career has grown, our mission and reach has expanded to empowering the people we serve to build the right lifestyle and community for their unique needs throughout Pittsburgh.
Our Core Values
Community
Our primary focus is helping people find a home and neighborhood they love because when great people love the place they live, great things will happen.
Advocacy
We will serve all of our clients with honesty, respect, and attention to detail. We will listen to your goals and advocate for your needs.
Testimonials
Here's some more about us from the people who know us best:
"Julie & Ted are fantastic! As a lender for more than 30 years, I've worked with a variety of Realtors across the region. Julie & Ted stand out in many ways. They are wonderful people, true professionals and they live to serve. That's an awesome combination! Their passion for great service puts the customer first. They want the best for everyone and they work hard every day to create the great experience. Having worked with them on several transactions, I'm amazed at how much their clients enjoy them and appreciate their service. Closings are happy events that feel like friends doing business, not stiff transactions. If you're looking for a team that will guide you through the path and process of home buying in a way you'll enjoy and appreciate, I highly recommend Julie and Ted Block!" - Jeff Philibin, Branch Manager, Prime Lending®
"Julie Block provided thorough, responsive and professional experience. She walked us through the home buying process and really listened to our needs and our concerns. As long-distance buyers, she took extra initiative to help us find the right home and keep us on track." - John & Elise, home buyers - Forest Hills
"Ted and Julie were incredibly patient and flexible while me and partner searched for just the right first home! They had answers to almost all of our questions—if they didn’t (rare) they were honest about it and then searched for the answer. They have knowledge of neighborhoods, house quality, and remodel potential. Great, well-rounded team. We are so thankful for getting to work with them." - Stephanie & Ellis, home buyers - Brookline
"Julie and Ted are as genuine as people come. This dynamic couple is sharp-minded and hard-working. Real Estate is a natural fit. Julie had been negotiating deals worth millions for 5 years at 4moms, and Ted simultaneously juggled 3 kids, tutoring, and renovating their family home. No question about it, these guys can keep up. Young and motivated, they will give you the best real estate experience in Pittsburgh." - Tom Berna, Real Estate Investor and Owner of Berna Construction
